The success of this game has caused concern among Japanese game developers, who are wondering why Japan hasn’t been able to create a similar open-world experience.
The controls let you move Makoto’s left and right sides separately. The RB and RT (or R1 and R2) buttons control his right arm and leg for attacks, while LB and LT/L1 and L2 handle his left side. It’s similar to the fighting game Tekken, where each button is assigned to a different limb.
Makoto, the main character, is really good at noticing music all around him – in things like snoring, barking dogs, or even trains, as the game’s director explains. He uses these everyday sounds as inspiration for his songs, collaborating with different composers to bring them to life. Later in the game, Makoto becomes a performer and takes on the role of booking and managing musicians, planning concerts from the overall structure to the specific songs played.
The story follows Makoto Daito (Yu Shirota), a young man of Japanese and American heritage who flees unkindness in San Francisco in 1915 and journeys to his mother’s native Japan. He travels on a ship run by a smuggler named Orpheus (played by Snoop Dogg) and meets Yu Shinjo (Dean Fujioka) during the voyage. When they reach Japan, they both disembark, but their lives quickly take very different directions.
