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.

I don't remember if someone on here had posted this already, but has anyone else come across an Adachi and Nanba version of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's main menu screen? I have earlier on today. And no, this is not modded.


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.
(Panicked voice) Please, Mr. Golden Squid… Don’t eat Zhao-san!





*Sigh* Definitely not how I wanted to spend Valentine's day with Zhao... T_T
Hopefully I'll be coming up with a palette cleanser within a few hours as of this writing.


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.

I don't know how to caption this, other than the fact the bench at the trolley stop seen in the picture suddenly went flying after one of the guys ran into it.
Dream journal entry from May 9th, 2024: Ichiban and his team get invited to a pool party that was taking place at Queen's Resort. Out of everyone in the team; only Ichiban, Nanba, Adachi, Zhao, and Eric decided to go there.
Parts of this dream were easy enough to recreate within the game (minus some of the party decorations that were in the original dream version, sadly):






Following the last two pictures came a scene where everyone was dancing in the pool and not just the Sujimon from the game. Once a karaoke machine is set up, Eric actually goes up and sings a song... which happens to be a song Adachi was singing earlier on before the party began. (The song in question is just one my dreaming mind made up; nothing from the game or a real-life pop song.)
Bonus shot from during a rainstorm in the actual game (which was not going to stop the party):






The guys looking at the artworks on display near the Bluebird Gallery.
Bonus picture with an NPC photobombing them:

Nanba I missed you…
I want to see your au design for Nanba.. 🥺
AAAAAA I'm really sorry for answering this sooner I need to check back in here more often 😭😭😭,,,,, but thank you for the ask!
I'm assuming that you're asking abt the one I referenced in the other post, so here he is (well the one I liked the most anws-)

Yapping below
I'm sorta writing an fisherman AU that's mostly focuses on Nanba, the story is more or less the same as Y:LAD (his motives, story's flow, yada yada) but I'm chipping away at the plot points, designs for the rest of the crew, and trying to move it towards smth more original. Though it might be very long before a good draft of it sees the light of day now that I have little to no free time anymore,,,,,, however there will be signs that I'm working on it,,,, maybe,,,,,,
I'm hoping I won't just throw this in the bin like I did with my spin on the fantasy AU (that I still love dearly but feeling very self conscious abt how I make Nanba so very obviously my favorite) so maybe expect scribbles or short comics/ficlets abt this in the future when I finally catch up with my assignments 🥹
