Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio hasn't actually settled on Yakuza 8's final name.
Is it Like a Dragon 8, or Like a Dragon 2?




Quote
It turns out that although the sequel was revealed as "Like a Dragon 8" last month in September, the studio hasn't completely settled on this name for the new game.
According to the interview with Yokoyama, we could well end up with a sequel called Yakuza: Like a Dragon 2, or simply Like a Dragon 2, following in the footsteps of Yakuza: Like a Dragon led by newcomer Ichiban Kasuga in 2020.
Yokoyama revealed Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio traditionally ends up observing user reactions to the names of their new games, before settling on them.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon producer says its cast was effectively based on Luffy and his crew.



Quote
"To me, Ichiban is basically Luffy.
And around him there’s Zoro and Nami and basically the rest of the party.
One Piece’s party composition was on my mind so much during writing that it was a massive influence," said Masayoshi Yokoyama.

Sega’s CEO Haruki Satomi Wants to Create Games that Represent Japan
Explains Strategy with “Super Game,” Worldwide Releases, & More






Quote
"I want us to turn out hits that truly represent Japan and give rise to social phenomena.
In the past, we have created products like Pachislot Hokuto No Ken and MUSHIKING: The King of Beetles that reached beyond the Group’s existing fan base, gaining recognition even among people who are not typical game players and garnering widespread public attention.
Going forward, I want us to turn out hits that go above and beyond these crazes.
The latest Sonic movie is one such hit. Released worldwide in the spring of 2022, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 broke the record for the highest grossing video game-based film ever in the U.S., and met with high acclaim worldwide.
I saw a local shopping mall in the States that was overflowing with Sonic merchandise.
Those are the kind of hits we want to create, titles that represent Japan, and we want to see similar scenes all around the world demonstrating their huge popularity."
