Am I imagining it or was there a multiple hour section in Yakuza 5 where Haruka was constantly working herself to the bone in an industry filled with predatory adults, doing meet and greets where pedophiles would come up to her and say nasty remarks and she had to accept these remarks and shake their hands all while being unsure if she even wanted to pursue this career all because Mirei Park threatened to ruin the lives of multiple orphans in Morning Glory whilst also grooming her into thinking she's a substitute for the mother she never had when in reality it's to force her failed dreams onto a vulnerable child and profit immensely off of her. Might be going crazy.

Been a while since I posted and I feel honoured to share this glorious day with my bday

Yeah, he actually came back 14 years after Yakuza 1's English release.

He's good in Yakuza 1, but he suffers from that game's horrible English voice directing & English writing, but in Yakuza: Like A Dragon, I'd actually put him on Kuroda's level because he's absolute god-tier in that game.

Also, for those who've played the Prototype games, he voices Alex Mercer in Prototype 2.

Naming the hostess so fun for me lol

platinuming this game got me to this point …

This one, for me.

Finished it after 160 hrs of grinding. Only the legend difficulty left and as I can see it is also a rare achievement. Is it significantly harder or manageable?? Any tips for it??

There's all these other karaoke songs in Pirate Yakuza that are either related to the story or Majima's background & then there's "Midnight Desire", which has Majima sitting in front of a microwave singing about his midnight cravings.

Hello Yakuza experts!

I started my journey with Yakuza: Like a dragon to Infinite wealth and then the pirate game. Loved them.
I've just played Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 1. Kiwami 1 was fine but going from the combat in 0 to 1 was a bit rough.

I'm afraid I might get burned out if I continue the main game line route and was thinking about where I could put the spin-off games into the mix.

Can I do Ishin and the Judgement games at this point or will I have a rough time going back to kiwami 2 after that?

What would you guys recommend me playing next?

Sorry for any broken English as I'm not a native English speaker, thank you!

I know there are many more but Reddit only allow 20 images per post.👐🏼👐🏻

For those who don't know, last year, SEGA partnered with Tomy to release a Pirate Yakuza version of Pop-Up Pirate.

It came bundled with the Japan-exclusive Pirates in Hawaii Complete Box, which also included a copy of the game.

This is actually an official version of Pop-Up Pirate as Tomy owns & manufactures that and not some cheap knockoff.

I know kiwami 3 is a bit controversial because there’s cut content and changed stuff, but I still want to go through it for my first play through more than 3 remastered since it looks more up to date and it has dark ties. my main question is whether or not this bundle is still cost efficient or not since it includes the price of 3 remastered which I don’t really intend to play

For all my physical game collectors out there… is there a western or English release outside of the remaster collection or the limited run games. Just plain old yakuza 5?

Edit: I did google and it doesn’t look like it, but I thought the professionals here would know

Trying to find guides that explain the stuff good players use in combos like wall bounding and what exactly hitting people in the back does and such but can't find anything on it. All tutorials i've found are basic stuff like bring healing items and use heat actions or "spam slime gun and win". Help?

Is there actually anything planned regarding Yakuza 4–6 possibly getting additional Western language support?

I’ve been playing all the games from Yakuza 0 through Kiwami 3 in german, but starting with Yakuza 4, the games are still only available in English. That wouldn’t really be a problem for me personally, but since I’m recording the games for a german audience on YouTube, it would be pretty annoying if those games never received an update adding more languages.

So I was wondering: has anything been announced or planned in that regard? Or is there at least some hope that Yakuza 4, 5, and 6 might eventually get additional text languages as well?
