The Sega booth at TGS2023 hosted a Funtime SHOW for each exhibited title during TGS2023. At Yakuza, five people selected in a live cabaret audition held a FUN TIME SHOW on stage. The five winners of the audition, kson, Ayu, Kaname Ai, Ai Sayama, and Kokoro Nakayama, appeared on stage.
The audience was excited by the appearance of the 5 contestants.

In the "Yakuza7 Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name" corner, kson and Ai Sayama, who won the grand prix, were shown in a photo spot with the Champagne Tower in the background. Visitors can feel the world of Yakuza as if they were in the game.
The man who erased his name" was played as a test game!
This is the numbering of the Yakuza series and reveals what happened in the background of the timeline of "Yakuza7: Whereabouts of Light and Darkness" (hereafter Yakuza7). The spotlight is on Kazuma Kiryu. Yakuza has replaced "Kasuga Ichiban" as the main character since Yakuza7, and "Kazuma Kiryu," who was the main character for about 11 years starting in 2005 until "Yakuza6: The Poem of Life" in 2016, is now the main character in "Yakuza7"and after that, he will be the main character in "Yakuza7". The "Yakuza7"" and after are also depicted. Kiryu is scheduled to reappear in the numbering series 8, so this is a work that should not be missed as a part of the story leading up to the numbering series.
At the time of "Yakuza 7," Kiryu Kazuma is in his 50s. He was famous for his prowess, but he was not only unable to overcome the passing of the years, but in the next work, "Yakuza 8," he was diagnosed as having cancer. He has a lot of experience from his past fights, and he uses his "gadgets" to compensate for his declining physical strength.
Of course, the clumsiness has been refined as before, but the spy gadgets of spider webs, jet shoes, cigarette bombs, and drones are now available. They correspond to the ◯□□△ Prestige buttons, and are activated by pressing and holding each one. Although they require a certain amount of recharge, they can be used regularly to aid in battle.
The test stands were set up around an arena, and battles could be experienced in this arena. There is also a "team battle" mode, which is an unprecedented mode in which multiple battle members are organized to fight against a large number of enemy characters. It is possible to organize oddballs that you meet in the storyline, a specification that links to the depth of Yakuza's sub-story. In the arena, you can also set the operating character to these sub-characters, allowing you to enjoy the tactile experience of each battle style.
The author chose "Goro Majima," one of the popular characters in the main story. His style is still the same as before, with his ever-changing trajectory and bee-like stabbing with his doss. In addition, look out for other characters that will be available in the sub-stories.
Trial play of "Yakuza8"!

This is the second game in the series with "Kasuga Ichiban" as the main character. It is the eighth in the series. It will be interesting to see how the V-Cine-style ninkyo drama will unfold in Hawaii, a popular overseas tourist destination. The previous main character "Kazuma Kiryu" will be playable, and the link to "The Man Who Erased His Name" will be interesting to see.
At the playground, you can enjoy the streets of this Hawaiian town. The game is compactly packed with regular battles, short-episode sub-quests, karaoke and other play spots.
Yakuza boldly changed its gameplay from action to RPG after replacing the main character. Despite the controversy, the RPG system was continued in 8 as well. About the battle part, a positioning element was added this time, allowing the player to walk around a certain area during the phase of choosing commands.
You can change your position at will to adjust the number of enemies involved in ranged attacks, and you can also move close to your allies to benefit from coordinated moves and follow-up attacks. The encounter position is seamless, so you want to guide the enemy character to a location with as few obstacles as possible to make it easier to coordinate with your friends. The fact that enemy characters move around even during the phase of selecting commands is troublesome, and enemy placement changes as you select techniques from the list.
The speed at which you press the four-way controller to select the appropriate command affects the outcome of the battle. This specification reminds me of the real-time feel of Square's ATB bar. (The playability of the play spots is the same as before, and you will want to complete the subquests, even the silly ones to meet the usual backstage bosses.
What I found especially useful was the transportation. You can call up a Segway (that electric two-wheeled vehicle that you ride while standing up) at any time, and if you mark a destination on the map, the Segway will automatically transport you to it even when you leave the controller in the game. This will come in handy in this title, which has a small box garden, as it is often a long walk to the destination, even when using fast travel.
All the party members suddenly boarded a Segway and drove slowly on public roads. The surrealistic scene of the party being hit by a sudden shower is also typical of this film.
