This. This is why I love RGG studio. Giving us localization AND a fresh Kiwami remake with so many familiar faces. Now I can only hope for a Kenzan Kiwami remake then I can die peacefully
dunno how theyre gonna localize kenzan, a huge part of it is not-haruka (who is ~10 years old at the time) is a child prostitute and not-kiryu is trying to save her, but is relatively ok with the fact that she is a child prostitute
I got my roommate into the game and he doesn't even like anything about Japanese culture or usually play games I like outside of stuff like elder scrolls and he's saying it's some of best games he's played lol
Alright woah I never expected so many differences and additions from the original version... I welcome it, looking forward to see the performance of those marvelous actors on those characters. I wasn't quite sure if I had to buy it again since I already have the original Japanese release, however, after seeing the new actors, and experience an official localization...Yes it's worth buying it again. All the way, there's real passion there behind this project. On a side note, it's so funny to me that Joon-Gi Han is replacing Kugihara for this game.
I nearly lol'd because Yamazaki is supposed to look terrifying(not saying Joon-Gi-Han can't, but that's not what most people would think on first glance), but this works too.

Producer: _"What actors should we call?"_ Director: _"Bring me everyone."_ Producer: _"What do you mean by everyone?"_ Director: *_"EVERYYYOOOONE!!!"_*
This all makes me so happy, for decades this franchise has struggled to find enough of an audience to go beyond being Playstation console exclusive, what entries in the franchise that did make it to the west were put under a more marketable name rather than its original Japanese Title 'Like A Dragon.' Now things couldn't be more different, the name of Yakuza is being fazed out in place of the original title, sequels and remakes are making it over to the west much more regularly, and if that wasn't *awesome* enough the series has found it's way to the Microsoft and PC platforms, I could literally not wish for more from the Devs and Sega.
As someone who saw the "English Patch" cutscenes, I wonder, with the type of character Takechi is in the original, how in the hell will somebody like SHIBUSAWA work when the game gets released?
@@poinendev2932 Actually, they do. And they should. Whenever they need to. That's like half the point of the entire series my dude, that having and showing emotions is totally natural and doesn't make you "weak".
Thank you Sega Intl. for taking the risk and localizing Ishin('s remake); the original was an absolute banger and fans in the West also deserve to enjoy it in its full glory. I'm also very happy about the representation of 0, 6, and 7. That said, I guess there are only so many characters in the story, and as such some has to be cut - which hit 5 the hardest. Still, many who got axed aren't that popular to begin with and to be fair only made it in Ishin back then for recency bias, so I think they (with the exception of Baba as Todo) won't be missed much. A bummer though that none of the original characters (Takahashi-san as Takechi, Funakoshi-san as Kondo - and I forgot about Oryu's actress) seems to have made it into the remake... also wondering about "that guy" in the end, since we've unfortunately lost [spoiler]. Despite what I've said though, I really find most of the new picks very interesting and apt. Zhao is perfect for the flippant and nonchalant Todo, Adachi's voice (by the one and only Akio Otsuka-san) fits a man of Kondo's caliber, and Mabuchi as that minor captain who used to be Yahata had me rolling on the floor. And having the other man who claims the Dragon title as the new Takechi is oddly apt. The new theme (?) which is from 4 is nice, but I really liked the old one in English. Hopefully both will have some time to shine in the game. Spoiler below: Keiji Fujiwara-san made an appearance towards the end in the original game.
I legit cheered out loud when I saw Kuze. Hell yeah. Im more excited for this than I was for the Resident Evil remakes and Last of Us Part 1 combined. These guys know how to do remakes. God bless the Japanese and their inability to do things half-assed.
Oh man that Yakuza 4 Theme Song brings back so many fond memories. It is to say that without question, I am super excited for this game. I even see some familiar faces from 0, 3 & 6 in there. Definitely picking this up via PS5. The Yakuza game we've always wanted, but never gotten, until now. What a time to be alive.
@@Bahumaz It's honestly one of the more slept on Yakuza titles. Kinda sad how the franchise didn't gain popularity in the West until 0. ( which isn't a bad game by any means ) I've been on the train since the very Yakuza game on PS2 back in 07.
Replacements from original characters Ito Kashitaro : One of the few Yakuza villains to survive a game and get a redemptive arc in the next to Old man Takeda Kanryusai: Dual pipes aka a guy who got some dope fights to Guy who shot a woman Mikisaburo Suzuki : Guy who the hardest boss in 0 aka disco guy to I have no idea, I think maybe Koshimizu? Heisuke Todo : Baby Baba to Funny guy from 7 Sanjuro Tani : the guy who had a fight that was just a qte to *war Maker intensifies* Hanpeita Takechi: original character to Shibs Rintaro Katsu: Some random ass guy from 5 to Wheelchair Kondo Isami : Original guy to Laughing Susumu Yamazaki : Saejima torturer to Korean Vergil
I'm not an idiot I can recognize when a game studio is top tier. And this is insane levels of respectable work. In a period where everything is overpriced they make theirs well worth it
RGG has been going the extra mile with all these releases the last few years. And then they go even further beyond. Just a localization would've been amazing but a full remake with characters from 0, 6, and 7 is absolutely legendary.
This was my intro in Yakuza games. Was a ps4 demo only in japanese language. I can't translate a single word, but, man, that was a first love. Now Yakuza is my main franchise, finished all games. Yakuza 0 is the best imo. The fan service in this game made it a day 1 must buy!
I'm so happy to see that it will launch on pc too ! I've been a huge Yakuza fan (played from 0 all the way to Like a Dragon) I can't wait to finally play this one :)
People were asking for a localization of Ishin and Kenzan. Instead of just that, you guys roll out an entire remake! When I saw this video pop up in my timeline, I couldn't speak straight for a minute. However, I gotta ask: Why Unreal Engine? I mean, it's gladly not Epic-exclusive (not even on Epic in the first place) but doesn't RGG have their own engine for their games?
@@rob2586 But shouldn't it be much cheaper to use your own engine rather than paying Epic for using Unreal? I mean, I don't know how much Japan is affected by the inflation but even unrelated to the financial situation, I would usually take the option that makes me less dependent on others
@@Alina_the_Hedgehog maybe they saw how many people online wanted the old combat style from the old engine for Ishin and not the ragdolly dragon engine.

@@spiritmuse relax dude, it's a quote from an old movie. The new gokudō may be better, that doesn't mean the old gokudō should be forgotten.
they did the hayashi fans dirty man
I am so excited to see what gameplay of this could look like!
Thank you Sega Intl. for taking the risk and localizing Ishin('s remake); the original was an absolute banger and fans in the West also deserve to enjoy it in its full glory.
I'm also very happy about the representation of 0, 6, and 7. That said, I guess there are only so many characters in the story, and as such some has to be cut - which hit 5 the hardest. Still, many who got axed aren't that popular to begin with and to be fair only made it in Ishin back then for recency bias, so I think they (with the exception of Baba as Todo) won't be missed much.
A bummer though that none of the original characters (Takahashi-san as Takechi, Funakoshi-san as Kondo - and I forgot about Oryu's actress) seems to have made it into the remake... also wondering about "that guy" in the end, since we've unfortunately lost [spoiler].
Despite what I've said though, I really find most of the new picks very interesting and apt. Zhao is perfect for the flippant and nonchalant Todo, Adachi's voice (by the one and only Akio Otsuka-san) fits a man of Kondo's caliber, and Mabuchi as that minor captain who used to be Yahata had me rolling on the floor. And having the other man who claims the Dragon title as the new Takechi is oddly apt.
The new theme (?) which is from 4 is nice, but I really liked the old one in English. Hopefully both will have some time to shine in the game.
Spoiler below:
Keiji Fujiwara-san made an appearance towards the end in the original game.
I legit cheered out loud when I saw Kuze. Hell yeah.
Im more excited for this than I was for the Resident Evil remakes and Last of Us Part 1 combined. These guys know how to do remakes. God bless the Japanese and their inability to do things half-assed.
Oh man that Yakuza 4 Theme Song brings back so many fond memories. It is to say that without question, I am super excited for this game. I even see some familiar faces from 0, 3 & 6 in there. Definitely picking this up via PS5. The Yakuza game we've always wanted, but never gotten, until now. What a time to be alive.
Yup that Y4 theme is a banger, still remember watching the TGS trailer with the 4 heroes. Man, I love Y4!!!
@@Bahumaz It's honestly one of the more slept on Yakuza titles. Kinda sad how the franchise didn't gain popularity in the West until 0. ( which isn't a bad game by any means ) I've been on the train since the very Yakuza game on PS2 back in 07.
SELFISH DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
IS NOT FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Honestly i really liked this sound appear on the final boss, honestly its the best final boss theme song of the whole series
Replacements from original characters
Ito Kashitaro : One of the few Yakuza villains to survive a game and get a redemptive arc in the next to Old man
Takeda Kanryusai: Dual pipes aka a guy who got some dope fights to Guy who shot a woman
Mikisaburo Suzuki : Guy who the hardest boss in 0 aka disco guy to I have no idea, I think maybe Koshimizu?
Heisuke Todo : Baby Baba to Funny guy from 7
Sanjuro Tani : the guy who had a fight that was just a qte to *war Maker intensifies*
Hanpeita Takechi: original character to Shibs
Rintaro Katsu: Some random ass guy from 5 to Wheelchair
Kondo Isami : Original guy to Laughing
Susumu Yamazaki : Saejima torturer to Korean Vergil
Kuze, Awano, Shibusawa, Han Joon Gi, Koshimizu, Adachi, Zhao, Mabuichi, and Masato seem to be the new recasted characters.
They actually all play historical figures.
4:44 Han really has a knack for making yakiniku out of people does he.
At this rate, Sega (Ryu ga Gotoku team) is like the genius kids in class who will answer almost everything even though teacher doesn't ask for more.

*_HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN?!_*
Seriously amazing! February 2023 can't come soon enough!
love how they are still using for faith
This looks absolutely amazing. Thank you!
We're finally a few months away from having Isshin worldwide.
Can't wait ! 🙏
*THEY USED THE BEST SONG IN THE FRANCHISE FOR THIS TRAILER BTW JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW*
I'm not an idiot I can recognize when a game studio is top tier. And this is insane levels of respectable work. In a period where everything is overpriced they make theirs well worth it
Yakuza Kenzan next! And dont forget to revive Binary Domain
and dead souls aswell maybe even kurhyo
Man Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's at it AGAIN? This looks amazing, i absolutely can't wait
RGG has been going the extra mile with all these releases the last few years. And then they go even further beyond. Just a localization would've been amazing but a full remake with characters from 0, 6, and 7 is absolutely legendary.
This was my intro in Yakuza games. Was a ps4 demo only in japanese language. I can't translate a single word, but, man, that was a first love. Now Yakuza is my main franchise, finished all games. Yakuza 0 is the best imo. The fan service in this game made it a day 1 must buy!
I am going to legitimately cry, please someone hold me 😭
Man I can't wait. I am so happy, that this game is almost finished and releases in February 2023 already.
I'm so happy to see that it will launch on pc too ! I've been a huge Yakuza fan (played from 0 all the way to Like a Dragon) I can't wait to finally play this one :)

4:56 “Sakamoto Ryoma” Ichiban ain’t slick with that bucket helmet 😂
That ain't Ichiban
This is why RGG is the best developer no question about it
Why do I have a feeling this will end up even surpassing Yakuza 0 to become the best ryu ga gatoku game
What the actual heaven, Who would have thought we would get the cast from other games too along with a complete remake?
I just wanna know if we get Andre Richardson to return! I want to know if he’s still gonna tell Ryoma that Mine takes Daigo up to the ruff!
"Ahhhhh.... shiiiit"
- Andre Richardson when he finds out him and the rest of burack mundaii aren't in the game
@@MikeHesk742 also when Richardson gets shot by Daigo: “What...the...fuck!”
He's there alright.
Also, he's from England and his name's Thomas Glover.
I will pre order it and i am grateful for the devs
I love it.
I love it.
I love it!!!
I finished this game in japanese version anyway I'm so glad they translated for English audiences チェスト👍🇯🇵
This is good, thank you sega and rgg❤️❤️❤️
oooooo we have 3 lieutenants from yakuza 0, i'm soooooooo happy 😍😍😍😍
People were asking for a localization of Ishin and Kenzan. Instead of just that, you guys roll out an entire remake! When I saw this video pop up in my timeline, I couldn't speak straight for a minute.
However, I gotta ask: Why Unreal Engine? I mean, it's gladly not Epic-exclusive (not even on Epic in the first place) but doesn't RGG have their own engine for their games?
Hold on... This isnt Dragon Engine?
@@XeviousvSBlackmanta 0:07 Nope, Unreal Engine
Because it was easier to remake everything in Unreal then in the Dragon Engine. At least, that is what I read somewhere.
@@rob2586 But shouldn't it be much cheaper to use your own engine rather than paying Epic for using Unreal? I mean, I don't know how much Japan is affected by the inflation but even unrelated to the financial situation, I would usually take the option that makes me less dependent on others
@@Alina_the_Hedgehog maybe they saw how many people online wanted the old combat style from the old engine for Ishin and not the ragdolly dragon engine.
I'm so hyped for this, a samourai game with every Yakuza characters, i never thought this game will get a remake.
So wait, its a remake of the original Ishin, but with characters even from Y7? Im not complaining though, looks absolutely amazing
We were asking for gold, but we received DIAMONDS instead! Thank you RGG Studio and Sega!
