The latest issue of the Weekly Famitsu magazine in Japan had a huge feature on the upcoming Yakuza: Like a Dragon (aka Yakuza 7: Wherebouts of Light and Darkness). There are a ton of great tidbits of new information regarding the upcoming game but one that stood out was the team saying that Yakuza: Like a Dragon‘s story mode will be ‘more than twice as long’. That really makes you question if its because of the new combat system, which is taking a turn based RPG approach or if its just because this game will have more content. I mean, Yakuza 5’s story was ridiculously long and if this is going to be more than double the length…. I’m in!
Check out the tidbits over at Gematsu!

I’ve found the last few games to be well paced, if you want more content there’s all the side-quests and challenges.
This may make it drag, shame as the Yakuza games are the rare games I actually finish.
I think they found a really good balance with 0 and 6, not sure how this will turn out. We do have an entirely new cast of characters and a new location, so this might work out.
