I can just imagine how the fight looks outside Ichiban's headspace, lol Ichiban with the bat: AND NOW I'LL USE MEGA SWING ON YOU BOTH, HEATHENS! Thugs: Dude, the hell is wrong with you? Why would you just tell us the attack you're gonna-AUGH MY SPLEEN! Ichiban: That's what you get! Dun duna dun-dun dun duna! *Meanwhile, Nanba and Adachi in the background going through the enemy's wallets and pulling out loose change*

this game has the greatest party members of all time: -dragon quest addict -fat date -homeless person

Her mistaking Ichiban for a Japanese expression rather than a name is hilariously close to how the characters in-game react to his name lol

I love how everyone's take away from the first couple of hours of this game is "WHOA! That bread tech is amazing!"

The fact she is surprised about being able to get hit by cars is everything

CrystAAHHL goes in completely blind then she discovers that Yakuza is now a Turn Based RPG CrystAAHHL : KASUGAYEAH/ CrystAAHHLyeah

Ah yes, Ichiban's greatest power: Brain damage

You know a game is special when Crystal is actually laughing at the puns.

There is a 100% rate of people playing this game and being impressed with Bread

Fun fact: The reason why the combat became from Brawler to Turn-Based is because the game is supposed to be a brawler like the previous games but people liked the April Fool's Yakuza 7 trailer which showcases Ichiban and Prototype characters fighting turn based style so much that they changed the entire game into turn based.

As great as the Japanese voices always are, they really nailed the English dub here. And George takei does such an amazing amazing amazing job as Arakawa-san. He brings such a level of pathos to that character that he just steals the show in every scene that he's in.

“Yakuza is a serious crime drama about the underground world-“ Sleeping Sheep: “BWAAAAAAAAGOTHEFUCKTOSLEEPAAAAAAAH!”

Yakuza 0-6: Open World Beat em Up. Yakuza 7: JRPG Well that came outta left field.

Great now I can't get the image of Kiryu with Ichiban's hair out of my head. Thanks.

Yakuza 7 is a beautiful game! Such a big risk but they pulled it off.

32:55 Kasuga didn't go into Isekai. He brought the Isekai itself into the real world.

*New guy is introduced* Crystal: “is this a new boyfriend?”

Ichiban is so infectious with his wholesomeness

Ichiban seems like such a sweetheart and such a dork. I love him already. I can't wait to play this game!

That reaction to the turn based gameplay and Ichiban's name is why you don't go spoiling things for CrystAAHHL, let her discover things on her own and greatness will follow

Definitely GOTY 2020. So excited for Yakuza 8

9:02 I have never seen anybody not be impressed by the bread.

Ichiban is a grown-up Junpei; change my mind

it was fun to see her reactions to every character which returned

Day be so bad Then BOOM, CrystAAHHl uploads

The comedic approach was honestly refreshing, plus the JRPG stuff was amazing, especially the Dragon Quest name drops

I thought Masumi Arakawa's voice sounded familiar! It's George Takei!!! Oh Myyyyyy

Fun fact at 35:05. That song is actually from Dragon quest 5. It's the battle music.

Ichiban is the personification of wholesome.

OH MY GOD NOW I NEED THIS GAME! Ive been laughin like a damn hyena with this video! Well done CrystAAHHL!!! And dear lord this game was made for me, as the derp RPG fan i am, i still cant believe this dude brought up Dragon Quest like that! I am DYING! This is perfection! PD: I am also impressed by the freakin bread... Thats too real!

Every time I see CrysTAAHL playing Yakuza or Persona it makes me smile a lot. I don't know why tbh but yea it's addicting.

She said she was going in blind, but I didn't think she meant *this* blind lmao

Crystal: *Sees the duck* Her mind: *CRUNCH*

I seriously don't know what to say with Yakuza 7. It's so... *chefs kiss*

Fun fact: Ichiban is voiced by the same dude who voiced Nishikiyama. Which is a little ironic 😅

This is literally, one of the greatest games I've ever played.

I’ve been waiting for this!

Ever wanted to know what it's like being below the absolute poverty line ($1.90 an hour)? Play this game. When Cryst wants to fight, they leave, when she's taking a selfie they come in troves.

What timing, just finished my playthrough the other day. Absolutely loved this game. Gotta go back for the endgame tower at some point.

for some reason youtube recommended me this video for some reason i decided to watch it and i gotta say, i'm really glad i did, 38min of pure fun, loved it.

I hope you play judgement as well, it's such a good game. This was my game of the year honestly, I had a blast with it

CrystAAHHL reacting to Yakuza 7!? "I've been waiting for this!"

Love or hate Ichiban, he be spittin' facts KasugaYeah

crystahhl's duck trauma is visible here lol

I'm amazed that so many people notice the Bread Tech XD

Ichiban is an expression meaning the best, or number one, and is a brand of ramen, and beer(Sapporo Ichiban)so you weren't wrong...I mean you were correct

Wait until she finds out that ALL of Ichiban’s games will be turn based (with Judgment taking over the traditional Yakuza fighting system).

Thank you so hard for this AWESOME Video

When hanging in the Survive Bar feels like a genuine night out with friends...

By the way, the movie theater minigame is basically a tribute to Atlus games like Persona and Catherine. The movies played there are like the joke movies you can go to with Confidants in Persona 5 and the sheep are a reference to Catherine, a puzzle game by Atlus. On top of that the battle system's menu design based on Persona 5's one button menu.

The Sujimon Sensei is voiced by the guy who voices Shido from Persona 5.

It's okay Ichiban. I'm about to hit my 30's and I still want to be a heroine. 😉 I don't see that ever changing. (I'm a "Summoner" in my head. I'm a programmer/illustrator. Think shenanigans with drones. I actually own a vacuum bot dressed in a tiny handmade frilly maid uniform.)

Enemies will now transform according to Ichiban's undiagnosed schizophrenia

Honestly one of the harder turn based games I’ve played especially at a cough cough certain boss fight😳😳😳

Ooooh, this is gonna be a wild ride believe you me.

Taking flight! Heated as hell! For whom we celebrate! Welcome Ichiban! Go forth and lead a wonderful life!

Literally everyone gets stuck on the vening machine during the chase scene.

Welcome friend, it only gets better 🔥🔥

Ah yes, Crystal's gotten to Persona 6 already...... instead of being a Phantom Thief, a chad, or the Moon god, you're The Rock Bottom Dragon, fighting his way to the top of the food chain in order to become a hero!

New Series Pogu!

Since we have moved pass the Kazuma Kyriu saga and we are now dealing with the cast of Judgement/Like a dragon era, wich has a lot of people that were Omi/Tojo at least at some point during the events of Yakuza 0-6, i wonder how long will it be before we either meet a character (that is either plot relevant to the main story or to a side-quest) or discover that someone in the cast fought Kyriu in the past and just got his shit ROCKED. And i dont mean it as some dude that had voice lines and a dinamic intro to his battle, i mean it as some dude that was one of the hundreds of faceless grunts that Kyriu would beat down with a single heat move.

I swear to god, EVERYBODY hits that damn vending machine in that chase scene!

"Babe, wake up. New CrystAAHHL upload just dropped."

Kiryu dies in Yakuza 6 Yakuza 7 : Crystaahhl where is Kiryu?!

I know this is a late comment but you know want to know something? All those photos on the wall of otohime land are actual Japanese AV actresses!

Yesssssss Like a Dragon, let's go! Kasuga Yeah!

37:44 The last thing I expected to hear in Yakuza is Rigby's voice

hey feel persona vibes

4:17 "Woo! I need that Brain Power" O-oooooooooo AAAAE-A-A-I-A-U- JO-oooooooooooo AAE-O-A-A-U-U-A- E-eee-ee-eee AAAAE-A-E-I-E-A-JO-ooo-oo-oo-oo EEEEO-A-AAA-AAAA

The boss's VA was the same one for Rigby from Regular Show and Narancia from Jojo part 5

I had the exact same reaction to seeing the duck.

crystals reactions are the best!

Ichiban's imagination: the game

As a Dragon Quest fan, I love Ichiban! WHOOH!

The best part about the REM Ram’s sudden appearance is that Ichiban didn’t even realize it was there meaning it’s not apart of his imagination.

She just wants go selfie in PEACE

It's official. Ichi is the Ultimate Boyfriend

Oh, dear, I think if I ever play this game, I'll be an Ichiban fan/kinnie/simp because I, too, have an obsession with a video game...its Animal Crossing, but I'm sure he'd be a fan of it. The reveal of the Dragon Quest Hero in Smash must've blown his freaking mind! I put him in Miitopia as a Warrior!

12:44 I must admit, that track is fire👌

To be fair, I read that as Isekai road too.

38:39 she actually did the isekai thing

I am honored to be this early

The city slickers can acTUALLY HIT YOU?!

This game is Wild

21:08 He falls asleep like the Miis from Miitopia and Tomodachi Life lmaoooo

i need to play this

"I got rid of my heart" Thats some otherjrpg game PTSD

17:06 She works hard for the money So hard for it, honey She works hard for the money So you better treat her right 🎼🎵🎶

Poggies

addictive

2:58 I personally feel this on such a deep level lol gotta tell the mofo what I'm about to do before I do it because there uncultured I've hit my hidden loctus kick on a bully before and while he was on the floor in pain waiting for the teacher I had a discussion about naruto with em. (Kicked em in the wrong spot btw) 😐🤐 it was cringe

I feel like they used Arakawa's kid's model as the Pimpmaster's. (no I don't remember his name and I'm too lazy right now to go look for it)

i like turn based rpg, so this was truly refreshing..and they did a great job.

As someone else who put several hundreds of hours into the Kiryu saga, my reaction to finding out this game is turn based was exactly the same lol. Glgl

Omg this game is great😂

Like a Dragon was criticized for becoming turn based, but I love how they are somewhat aware that it became turn based vid Dragon Quest

3:56 That's called 'moral dessert' Crystaahhl, if you're doing something good and expecting a reward it doesn't really count...

Gott admit. Guy in orange T-shirt has more balls then Ryuji)

The mid boss theme is everything

I wonder if she'll try DQ11 S after playing this game. I think she'll dig it
