Played through #YakuzaLikeADragon. As my first Yakuza game, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Lots of political intrigue, cinematic drama, and themes of family & friendship. I also appreciate how it gives credence to people from all walks of life. It's a very satisfying JRPG experience.
Have to give a shout-out to the localization team, in particular my friend @SenseiHanzo who I've always known as a hard worker. This game is text-heavy and managing all the accents, dialects, and languages must not have been an easy feat, yet it reads well!
There's a character in #YakuzaLikeADragon who's modeled after and voiced by Ken Yasuda, the actor who plays Hideaki Anno in Blue Blazes. It's extremely hard to unsee/unhear! Having had enough, Anno decided to become a fire-breathing homeless dude. 
I can't go without mentioning #YakuzaLikeADragon's dedicated effort at paying homage to Dragon Quest. Not only is Ichiban an in-universe fanboy, the game's battle system is also clearly inspired by DQ turn-based combat.
