This week in the comments
This week is driven by a music-focused teaser showing the song-production system. Volume is modest (~144 sampled comments) and the tone is very upbeat. The cry to release the song persists, but attention is shifting to side content, with a few worries about the visuals.
The music minigame wins everyone over
~30% of this week's comments praise the production system, calling it the series' best side business and a successor to the cabaret or Pocket Circuit. Many plan to sink hours into it.
The song is still the number one demand
~12% of weekly comments still demand the song's release, in an increasingly exasperated or jokey tone.
Combat still splits opinion, and the colour grade bothers
A handful (~6%) criticise the washed-out or yellowish colour filter, others doubt the combat. One commenter says the side content reassures them.
Fishing is back
A few commenters cheer the return of fishing, familiar from earlier entries in the series, along with other side activities.
Top reactions and controversies
"Release the song"
Dominant takeSince the cast trailer, the song has overshadowed the game itself: endless replays, pleas to Sega, running jokes. Some of the community's most-liked comments are about it.
A star-studded cast stuns fans
Dominant takeAdo, Snoop Dogg, Tori Kelly, Satoshi Fujihara: surprise dominates, with GTA 6 jokes. Many point out that Tori Kelly and Fujihara carry most of the vocals.
Theories about the Tojo Clan origin
Dominant takeSince the first teaser, fans dissect names, dates and details: Daito plus Shinjo spells Tojo, and the game is read as a Yakuza prequel spanning decades.
Tupac and the "resurrected" dead
ControversyTupac's digital presence triggered waves of jokes but also real ethical unease for some. Others see a legitimate tribute, as the estate approved it.
Slow combat or welcome realism?
ControversySince the hands-on previews, combat polarises: enemies seen as spongy and slow on one side, a brutal, more realistic pace praised on the other.
