following the rgg absolutely over the top 2022 summit or conference or whatever, someone made a parody where rgg announced dmc6
…which is wholly unfair, because the idea now lives in my head rent-free.    Like…side stories or side cases from the Devil May Cry agency.    Dante or Nero karaoke.    Still stylish action.    Possibly Dragon Engine ragdoll physics and absolutely beautiful graphics.    (I don’t care about most game graphics, but Dragon Engine is my exception.    And maybe the Subnautica engine. I don’t know its name though.)    They’ve proven they can get the tone down, too, because that beautiful blend of goofy ham and gut-wrenching serious story?    RGG are masters.    (I’d say the story might make more sense, but…uh.    Yakuza 4 exists.)    Just…all of the yes

Edit: Oh yeah, also this is a call for advice.  I hadn't bothered naming the Xander/Leon series because I didn't expect it to go this long but I've got posts scheduled for a while, so.  Clearly there's a lot to this one.  I've never had this much trouble naming a series before.  Any readers want to chip in with suggestions?

this is gonna be the yakuza 4 which is all the sadder because this might be the last judgment game we get, huh?

Generally, Miyamoto hates doing her makeup.  She doesn't like the feeling on her face or having to sit still.  Sometimes she will for formal occasions.  Most likely she asked Cordy to do instead (and also maybe her hair).  Generally, she doesn't like wearing actual armor, either, but the silver and gold she finds fun, and given her sense of humor she'd absolutely show up in a suit of armor rather than an actual suit.  I really like how confident she looks in this one.

Dream:

dead souls brash woman-uh, hi, Ada.

This isn't perfect, obviously; the tattoo glow is the wrong color (it should be green), and there should be more full-body glow.  As of now as far as I'm aware the color can't be changed in City of Heroes.  That being said there's a bit of a spectrum of how much power you're drawing from the youkai (and therefore how much your tattoo is glowing) and it's not exactly as cut and dry as 'invoke' or 'drawing on', though those are the two named distinctions.  There's even more given the wide power range between chinpira and the Chairwoman.  There's more glow here than there would be for simply drawing on the irezumi, but it's also not full-body animal features overlay glow, which is the point at which you should if you were at all questioning it duck and run for cover.  Particularly if it's a Matriarch.  Particularly if she brought her bat.  (honestly you probably should do that long before that, but.  Some people like a challenge.)

wait, bikes are used as weapons by real life yakuza?
...okay, they might not have Breaker Style, but Bike Style is apparently a thing.  Cool.  Learning Random Things from TVTropes.

Cordy absolutely does not have the baton twirling past in this AU, but I figure she's still probably pretty good with a staff with some training.  She's also using aura manipulation (kind of).

actually, the 'murder during collections' thing is probably a rumor that's been going around since yakuza 0.
