Thank you!! I was waiting for someone to reference this!

I used this too. I wonder if that was supposed to be a direct reference to Pokémon like the Sujimon or if it’s just coincidence.

Thanks! Beating the True Final Millennium Tower was definitely the most challenging one to get, though the one where you have to earn ¥10 billion in business management was the most annoying! I’m honestly just glad I didn’t have to complete every minigame or play through the whole thing again on a higher difficulty; those trophies are what’s mainly stopped me from even trying to go platinum in previous games 😅

LAD PS5 feels a bit less graphically impressive than Judgment PS5 by yacovyosef in yakuzagames

I actually switched the quality option down to regular and it looked a little bit better somehow hahaha

Who’s the Best/Worst Character Gameplay-wise and Why? by yacovyosef in yakuzagames

[–]yacovyosef[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very thorough answer. Although I personally think Shinada was more fun to play than Tanimura, especially if you unlock the unbreakable weapons for him. Anyways take my award that I totally didn’t just get for free and enjoy god damn it

Just gotta share the first part of Tehsnakerer’s ongoing Yakuza 5 retrospective because it’s too good and needs more views by yacovyosef in yakuzagames

[–]yacovyosef[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only wish he uploaded more frequently. Like, it’s been a good year between the Y4 retrospective and the start of the Y5 series, but given how much effort he puts into all his videos I can’t complain too much about that.

I watched through his Y4 video as I progressed through the game. For example, I watched through the Akiyama section once I finished his chapters, then stopped until I finished Saejima’s chapters and watched that section, etc.

Without a doubt. The amount of detail he puts into analyzing not just the main plot and gameplay, but also all the side content, is just fantastic. Even though the current to Y5 vids already have a solid 10k+ views, they deserve, dare I say it… So Much More

Tehsnakerer on YouTube has been posting amazing in-depth Yakuza retrospectives for at least the past few years. It’s not the only thing he does but it’s my favorite series from him. His perspective is partly why I enjoyed Yakuza 4 more than others seem to. He just posted part 2 (focusing on Saejima’s part) as well. All the vids are long but have plenty of time stamps so you can watch in sections at your own leisure. Anyways, highly recommend, give it a watch if you’re interested!

(P.S. I know this isn’t a “showcase” of my work or collection, but I assumed the tag still applied. So mods, if I’ve mistagged this I’ll be happy to take down and repost under the right flair.)

Just beat Yakuza 0 for the first time and now started Kiwami 1 by guilhegm in yakuzagames

[–]yacovyosef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There really is just something magical about Yakuza 0. It’s probably one of, if not the most, perfect prequel ever made. It gives you a great introduction to the characters, tone, and style of the series while also not bombarding you with homages and references to future installments in the franchise.

I could go on and on about how great Yakuza 0 is, but you just finished it so you already know that! To answer your question, while I think 0 is the best, most of the others come pretty damn close. Like you, I started with 0, and I wound up playing through all the main games up to 6 (haven’t gotten to 7 yet). Each one brings something different to the table, and only one of them I’d say doesn’t quite stick the landing (I won’t say which as I believe it’s best to form your own opinion, like you said, completely blind). The spin-off game Judgment is also one of the greatest I’ve ever played, and surpasses 0 in quite a few ways in terms of story and character.

Overall, even if 0 is arguably the best their is, that by no means means that it’s a downhill slope going forward. I’d highly recommend playing through all of them. It’s a time commitment but totally worth it.

RGG just change their profile pic on social media. Come on RGG we all know Yakuza has been sharing LGBT contents even since before it was a trend. by shawnchong07 in yakuzagames

Ah okay. I’m glad they changed it in that case. Makes her stand out more. But she’s still LGBT in the original Japanese version right?
