Get it all up in your alley, Snee. Get it up in your alley ALL NIGHT LONG. 

To hell with permadeath in any game, frankly. What a non-game, real life thing to impose on someone. Are you as much of an asshold as GOD? No? Then don't do permadeath, you heathen sadist!

Ah, ok. And it turns out there IS a run button, I just forgot where it was and the game never reminded me. I do not blame myself for this. 

For Yakuza 7, I'm not sure ... but otherwise, you are always close, yes. I see you are a man of culture. 

Was not aware of A Silent Voice, but I will put it in my Watch List. Thanks for mentioning. 

I know why they did it. Let me make my throwaway jokes. 

I do kinda like that there will now be a Kiryu saga (still not understanding why some people are ragging on him now that Ichiban is here; like I get it, Ichiban is fresh, but people have been straight disrespectful to my main man, Kiryu) and an Ichiban saga and the developers know they need to freshen things up, cause ... man, if you play the remasters all in a row, you start to realize just how same-y this series can get. And yet. it's part of its charm. What a double-edged sword we walk in this life, Julian. What a double-edged sword, indeed. 

Yeah, I figured it must be there somewhere, but I could not for the life of me remember it, and with them not putting it on that diamond of options, I don't feel bad at all for not remembering. 

Thank you, though. This is a lifesaver. 

Yeah, I liked the substory with that one, too. And I bet there's an arcade, yeah. 

There are Dragon Quest references throughout the series, but yeah they leaned into the joke about the similar structure between these series REALLY hard in this one and just flat out made it an RPG. 

I haven't found the arcade yet, unless I just missed it. I usually do substories more than anything else in Yakuza, and they at least haven't had one in an arcade yet. I hope I find one (I *think* one was available in Kaurocho early on, but that's a really early part of the game). 

Yeah, that Wizardry system sounds closest to what's going on here. 

The conceit is they all switch jobs at the local unemployment office once they gain enough experience (points) to qualify for them.
