You can witness it in the recently released Lost Judgment and will see it in the upcoming sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon which will continue Ichiban Kasuga’s story. Ryu Ga Gotoku’s predecessors have passed down their beliefs and know-how to each and every staff member. I’m not going to say, “please believe in us!” We’ll continue to do our best and let our games do the talking.Īnd I hope that you would support and watch over the future endeavors of Nagoshi and Sato, who are embarking on a new journey just as we are. Though, now that you see me acting all cool in this photo, it’s going be extra uncool if the games don’t live up to our standards, so I’m going to give it my all and stay true to my words. This time, I boldly stand in front of you with the key members of the studio to express my determination just as we did ten years ago. This is what is necessary for “Ryu Ga Gotoku” to continue to be “Ryu Ga Gotoku.” To me, it is something I must protect.įor fans who have supported the series and for actors and development staff, the games Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio creates must be something that all can be proud of.
“I’m proud to be standing here as a member of the studio today.”Īt the time, I had an immense sense of pride in “Ryu Ga Gotoku,” and that feeling hasn’t changed today.
Then, I remembered the words I said on August 31st ten years ago, onstage at the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio launch announcement: In announcing the new structure of the studio, I contemplated what I should convey to everyone. Ten years have passed since then, and that resistance I had felt has changed to a feeling of comradery over time and now, I am inheriting the studio from a great creator. So although I had little influence at the time, I kept fighting for change. However, I did not want to rely too heavily on that. It affects the way we work, the way we live, our morals and values, and even the way we make games.īefore Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio became truly established, “Ryu Ga Gotoku” was basically synonymous with “Toshihiro Nagoshi.” The world can change in a blink of an eye. Perhaps, because we devoted ourselves to keep facing these challenges head-on, we were able to keep going for this long and achieved this milestone of 10 years as a studio. We had to sacrifice a lot to achieve that. Some of these were ideas that I’d never considered when we founded Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.īack then, we were desperately living day to day just trying to secure our future happiness. Things that change things that should be protected things that should be connected. Two years ago when we announced Yakuza: Like a Dragon, there was a lively discussion among fans, and we were able to learn a lot from it.
