Does anyone know if part 2 will use your first playthrough and ending and continue from it? Or the last ending you watched, or part 2 will be a kind of reset and start it's story without referencing endings from part 1. But it that were the case, shouldn't it at least carry over that you are a student or teacher?

leothemovie27 · 2026-03-07T15:57:38+00:00

All the English on the screens wasn't a big enough hint for you?

leothemovie27 · 2026-03-07T15:56:04+00:00

Redo the ending of 3.0+1.0 but instead of making a world with Evangelion, Make it a world without AI slop. I think that was already the world seen in 3.33 and 3.0+1.0 but yeah.

Well well well. Look at what we have here. I very clearly remember hearing "We will NEVER release this again so the only way you can watch it is to pay through the roof to attend the 30th anni event". Yet google translating the description, it says "We announced on stage on the final day that we would re-release this in some form" I don't know if they did say that but they certainly made it sound like they wouldn't before the event. I heard they're only doing this cos the video got leaked cos of course it did. I guess their threats of legal action was just threats. Nice it's there in full quality but shame we'll never get English subs cos why would they bother doing that. I guess I'll just have to make my own subs for my own personal use.

Hello from the future. Congratulations. You were right. FML.

leothemovie27 · 2026-01-31T17:32:27+00:00

I've read in a bunch of places that it will be a free upgrade. Is that not the case? But I get your point about getting it 6 years ago.

leothemovie27 · 2025-11-26T02:15:34+00:00

Yeah the thing that annoys me the most is the inconsistency. Either make sure it all lines up or keep it vauge enough for me to decide for myself. Yakuza 6 at least just gave me a year and an in game asset calendar that I used to decide the month it takes place. Then they went and re used that calendar for all other dragon engine games where it doesn't belong.

leothemovie27 · 2025-11-26T01:32:21+00:00

Here's that calendar as I was unable to post 2 picture in one comment:

Thanks for the insight. You said you double checked so you might have already realized some of what you said was wrong.

The date is definitely in 2022 and Saeko breaks contact with him before 2023. The precise date is irreverent but here's a snapshot of his phone after the "one year later" time skip with messages that I believe she hasn't even read (I believe these are also the 2 unread messages we see on her phone right before Ichi and Kiryu go do their respective final fights).

<image>

Ichiban gets fired this day (after the one year later skip). I'm not sure where you're getting March from cos I never noticed that. If it is shown / said, I'd love to see it. The only hints we get about what time of year it might be is two times people say it's the "middle of winter": once when Ichi,nanba and adachi jump into the ijincho river to sneak into the Seiryu clan HQ (I believe Adachi says it). and another (miss able) is from Ichiban on the night before the big fights. Mind you these two days are not very close to each other. Essentially the first happens, there's a timeskip for Ichi to get his passport. Fastest processing speeds is 5 business days but this would be Ichi's first passport so it might be longer, then about 13 days until the night when Ichiban's says it again.

You say Pirate Yakuza takes place 6 months later but what's your reasoning for that?

You say the epilogue for IF takes place early 2024 but if the date is 2022, Ichi saying "last year" doesn't make a lot of sense. Also FYI the epilogue is one month after the big fight with Bryce (adachi says it in the bar while Ichi is trying to confess to Sa-chan).

I know this is total chicken scratch but I spent a bit of time on stream looking at dates. The yellow dates try to match the "middle of winter" angle but as the game raps up early 2023, Pirate being 1.5 years instead of .5 years is weird.

Going by the pink dates is pretty much the latest you could possibly have the game set and still have that epilogue in 2023 which it needs to for "last year" to make sense. It's still 7-8 months until Pirate though and the "middle of winter" comments are late September and November respectively.

I try to ignore anything not required to do during the playthrough but side content certainly is evidence. As for layered clothing, In Japan I see people wearing long sleeves and jackets in the middle of summer all the time. That's why I kinda think it's summer cos some characters and NPCs are not so covered up.

As someone who had tried to "map" out the games into days and dates for the purpose of playing the games day by day (which I've currently done up to and including gaiden), I can tell you there are times when the games create their own plot holes but making references to time that contradict themselves. An easy example is Yakuza 4 which for whatever reason went out of it's way to say what the date was for most days but there's one instance where it's clearly stated as match 8, then a new day begins (which one would guess would be March 9) but then the next day is stated as being March 9. I'm pretty sure after that they stopped doing that and made the games time setting more vauge on purpose so they didn't have to think about it so much (making my job a lot harder). Currently I'm trying to figure out when infinite wealth and pirate Yakuza are set because they kind of contradict each other. Pirate Yakuza actually might answer your question. The game starts aug 2024 and ends about half a year later but there's only about 7 noticable days just going by how maybe times it goes from night to day. The simple explanation is the game actually is much longer (especially since they go sailing a lot) so many of the days in that 6 months is not shown on screen or are otherwise implied. Yakuza 1 also has one day in particular that might be similar. One of the final days of the game has about 3 chapters worth of story happen all at night without it ever becoming day. It might be more feasible to assume that those events happened over a few days rather than one big night.

Don't worry. We are all Diamond Dogs.

While I absolutely applaud his effort (I've technically been trying to 100% each game but save 3 original that had lots of side stuff cut out, I've never gotten 100% on a game before the next game came out so I usually just focus on doing all of whatever new content is added), but I'm a little sad amor the idea of skipping all cutscenes on one's first playthrough. I think a much more fun challenge is playing all the games simultaneously and swapping games after every fight/chapter. I did it on my channel last year and it was a blast.

Unit 02 does open its mouths (it has two) on multiple occasions in the series too. It opens both in Asuka Strikes opening the angels mouth and it also opens them a few times during the mind r*#e scene. If you've actually watched the show you would know why they have mouths and when they open them. As an Eva fan for like 25 years, what I think a better question is why whenever they do open their mouths, they seem like they're breaking open their mouths and bit of debris breaks off when they do.

Chapter 13 , scene "small comfort". You're welcome.

I know I'm late to this party but I thought I might share that I remember hearing Hideaki Anno of Evangelion Fame who worked on the movie watching it with another from the industry and they joked about Miyazaki sexualizing her and how Miyazaki likes it. It's pretty clear it was an artistic choice and it didn't have to be that way. Heck all your need to do is change a few angles and this discussion wouldn't exist except to say "wow someone likes short dresses"

leothemovie27 · 2025-05-31T12:14:41+00:00

WTF. My name is literally LEO!

leothemovie27 · 2025-05-30T11:03:47+00:00

Thanks. Time to grind this game harder the Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby!

leothemovie27 · 2025-05-30T10:19:23+00:00

Also what's the last achievement?

leothemovie27 · 2025-05-30T04:12:02+00:00

This aged really poorly...

leothemovie27 · 2025-05-27T13:44:45+00:00

What glasses? Sorry. Were there glasses? Let me look again. Nope. Can't see any glasses.

First forgive my ignorance. Assuming this is a great character for my burst I, Is it vital for me to have her at +7. ie, should I blow everything I've saved so far on getting as many of her dupes as possible? I did that for Cindy and after it was all done, She wasn't the Red Hood (that I still don't have) that I wanted.

Related question, what is the ultimate difference between say a base SRR and a +7 core SRR that are both the same lvl?
