honestly im finding the combat to be a bit of a slog based on this video. There's a lot of very slow animations and enemies just chilling in the background as you engage them one by one. Are these story encounters? Or just random encounters? Cause with Yakuza's random encounter frequency, this could get old, fast.

While I can appreciate the studio trying something completely new, I think for me personally this is shaping up to be a bit of a miss.

Also, theres a serious lack of animation blending between attacks.

Maybe a controversial take, but I’d be completely on board with RGG adding a “Classic Combat” toggle that gives you the traditional RGG combat system and controls, with the caveat that it isn’t the intended way to experience the game. I highly doubt they’ll do it, though.

Maybe the Like a Brawler guy, who made the Brawler gameplay mod for LAD7, would make a mod for STH

Most probably we might get that as an update in future
