Joon Gi Han - Tumblr Posts

Two Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth prediction dreams (or, at least my dreaming mind labeling them as Like a Dragon 8 scenes) that came to me well before the full trailer was announced, both which involves Joongi Han working with some forms of communication technology. And note that I'm using his and Seonhee's current spelling from the game.

(Above) From July 21st, 2022; Han is testing out video phones. He calls Seonhee on the phone and taking notes, despite nothing showing up on the monitor. Han can still hear her, though.

(Below) From December 15th, 2022; a half-human half-zombie named Francesca is sent on a mission to deliver a cake to a nearby convention center. She and Han are using headsets to communicate with each other. This is the actual dialouge, in case you can't read it (blaming the VHS filter for smearing certian vivid colors):

Han: "Have you found the cake box yet, Francesca?"

Francesca: "Yes. Cake's safe with us. For now, anyway."

Dream journal entry from October 20th, 2022:

(Left) Joongi Han is fighting a giant crab / lobster hybrid monster in a sea cave. Note that my art style is described more or less if Total Drama, Clone High, and Steven Universe were made between the 1960s and the 1990s. So, if the crab / lobster hybrid monster looks familiar, this is why. I also threw in a Playstation triangle button prompt for the fun of it.

(Right) Koichi Adachi announces that an airport's sparkling water machine (resembling a mix of a water cooler and a giant version of one of those Sodastream machines) is leaking after Goldy and Saeko (both not pictured) accidentally bump into it.

In honor of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth being released tomorrow, here's the very first dream entry of me playing Yakuza 8, dated July 29th, 2021:

(Left) The opening cutscene of this dream version of Infnite Wealth consists of Ichiban, Nanba, Han, and Zhao playing a four-player version of Connect Four at a restaurant.

(Right) Meanwhile, Adachi accidentally crashes his personal airplane after being hit by a mysterious fireball in the sky. Thankfully he's unharmed, but had to call someone to request a ride to that same restaurant the other guys are in.

Managed to finish the Dondoko Island substory in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and got S ranks in both satifaction and popularity. Since I have the Ultimate Edition, at that point Ichiban can invite members of his and Kiryu's parties over to the island. So, no suprise Zhao was one of the guys I decided to pick first. :3

I also chose Han, Eric, Seonhee, and one other girl for that same tour.

I couldn't help but take a picture of Han and Zhao lying on the lawn chairs next to the jacuzzi. They're just so adorable together. ^v^

I actually wanted to see that giant squid swallow all four party members at once. Turns out I couldn't do that. The squid can only have two party members inside him at a time. (That is, unless if there's something I've missed here...?) In the meantime, here's Ichiban using the "Hero's Healing" ability on Joongi Han.

It took me several tries to even get a decent screenshot of this.

In honor of this year's Super Bowl, here's the Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth guys as their linebacker jobs making an entrance in style.

Uh... that's not how you play [American] football. Or basketball. Or whatever sport this is.

Dragon Engine being Dragon Engine again...

From two Yakuza: Like a Dragon screenshots I took two years ago: a bunch of enemies just interrupted the party's soccer game (or football game for some regions of the world), causing a fight to break out on the field.

From a Yakuza: Like a Dragon screenshot I took a year ago, the party once again had their soccer / football game interrupted by a bunch of enemies. This time, their game took place at night.

At that point, we had the PS4 swapped out with the PS5 in our living room. Since that game didn't have a PS4 data transfer feature, I had to start all the way from the beginning. The PS4 we previously had in the living room is now in my bedroom as of this writing.

Looks like Zhao's getting hungry back there...

Has anyone else spotted the following Yakuza: Like a Dragon error prior to reading this?

In Chapter 12, we have this scene of the party meeting with Saejima, Daigo, Arakawa, and Majima regarding the disbanding of the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance:

When it cuts back to the same meeting later on in the chapter, note what Joongi Han is wearing in this shot:

He's somehow wearing his bodyguard job outfit, even though I kept him as the hitman job at the time I took those screenshots. Once again, this is not modded (noting that I can't mod anything).

This is probably just my overactive imagination; but if this isn't an error, maybe this is what he actually wears underneath his raincoat?

I've been messing around with trying to score a goal in the soccer field, now that I found out it's easier to kick the ball around in Infinite Wealth than it was in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The ball also went out of bounds at one point:

The ball eventually got destroyed by Kiryu while fighting off a bunch of thugs loitering around the stadium.

Bonus Zhao being upset for some reason when I did finally score a goal:

Here's more of me screwing around with the game's soccer ball physics, this time seeing how far Ichiban can take the ball without it popping or being destroyed.

The starting point was in the breezeway next to Club Guilty, and I managed to get as far as the entrance to District Five before the ball suddenly disappeared (without popping for some reason). Another take shows Ichiban taking the ball towards the Hawaiian Haunt entrance, but suddenly popping before entering the street with said dungeon:

No enemies, no cars running over the ball, nothing sharp... nothing around that could cause a soccer ball to pop. It just spontaneously popped like that.

Bonus take from after a rain storm; since I found Chitose's line rather amusing:

There's something interesting about giving Zhao the Chef job and assigning him the Happy Spatula weapons. Having stars and sparkles coming out, the pastry designs on them, the confetti pattern on the handles, and the fact they greatly decrease the cost of MP skills when equipped... They suit Zhao pretty well.

After a long day of fighting; Ichiban decided to take Han, Zhao, and Eric out to some ice cream as a reward for themselves.

Bonus picture of Eric and Han being not impressed for some reason:

Too much roughhousing in the sand...

Joongi's still deciding on which watermelon to get.
