That sound effect not being there was the moment something felt off. I also wish the icon wasn't off in the corner, makes it a bit annoying checking to see of it's there while keeping your eyes on the fight, but that might've also been in the other PS3 titles & I just forgot.One thing I noticed that earlier Yakuza games lack is that sound effect when you execute a heat move... I think its added in 5? It makes a huge difference for me for some reason, replaying the earlier games and noticing they don't have it was bizarrely disappointing for me.
At the very least, this is the start of Dad Kiryu, which is great.
