The main translator of Yakuza games to English is god tier. In fact, he told them to do a change in Yakuza 7 interface that is really god tier, for english version of the game.
Just FYI: Limited Run Games is releasing a Collector's Edition physical box set of all Yakuza games (Zero, Kiwami 1 and 2, and Yakuza's 3-6) in spring of 2025 with a bunch of extras like soundtracks, character cards, and a Kiryu miniature figure.
I’m not sure that’s entirely accurate. It seems they’re releasing Collector’s Editions of each individual game starting with ‘Zero’ and ‘Kiwami’ and if you preorder ‘Zero’ you get a special slipcase to hold all 7 Collector’s Editions as they are released. Not saying you’re wrong, but I couldn’t find anything about a planned release of a single box set containing all the games together on the Limited Run Games website.
You finally met Oda ! Tbf, i think a lot of us wanted to punch him hard in this moment 😂 And yeah, you have a lot to discover with the Tachibana real estate. It's funny because the serie in Japan is not named Yakuza but simply Like a Dragon. I won't spoil you the reason but keep that in mind for later. As for the substories, it's absolutely okay if you're not doing all of them ! They're more here to help you take a break from the main story if it's getting too heavier. And so far, you're actually doing good ! It's nice to see you explaining the culture and mostly, it's nice to see you learn how to master the gameplay. I know you'll be good at it, i trust you ! Only advice i can give you is to buy more Stamina Royale at the drugstore. They're actually really cheap with the amount of money you're gaining and they're also helping you to regain a lot of health and heat gauge. It can be really beneficial later if it's getting more and more difficult. Thank you for the video today, i'll see you next time ! Stay amazing, Jahara (and yes, you truly are a fashionable young woman) !
I’m also very intrigued by the main story so far, though I kinda like the side quests’ stories too 😊 But yeah, I’m eager to learn more about Tachibana real estate and how Kiryu’s story will play out 🤔

Some side content will help you generally, but I don't think any of it is missable, I think that until the very end you always have the option to do it later, so you're not missing out on anything if you want to focus on the main story for now.
If you're ever stuck on what to do next for the main quest btw you can just let Kiryu stand still and idle around for a bit - he'll sometimes start smoking but often times he'll start thinking to himself :D
It seems that the voice of Oda from Tachibana Real Estate is a voice actor that Jahara knows. If you watch the anime in Japanese, you may indeed hear someone with the same voice. There are also cases where the same voice actor plays different characters in the Yakuza series, but I won't tell you who it is to avoid spoilers. Please keep playing and find out!
everytime i think of pompadours i think of josuke from jjba. also be careful with that autobiography, having it equipped isn't a good idea if you don't wanna get jumped

I dont think its gonna happen, but i would be so happy if she plays the whole series... her commentary is so good!
Same ! Maybe she could just watch the cutscenes of Yakuza 3 to 5 and play the rest

Falling down a rabbit hole of minigames and sidestories is a key part of the "Yakuza" experience!

I'm LOVING this playthrough! Especially the commentary! Thank you for adding so much more depth to what is already an amazing game ❤
Interesting that you pointed out Miss Tatsu's "oneesan" voice type, cause they call her Tatsu-nee in the original jp version :D
One aspect of your gameplay we enjoy is you becoming invested by being animated.
Another awesome episode. Glad to see you're enjoying the game. Likewise, I'm enjoying your insight on language and culture as you play.
Heyy, this just popped up on my feed and I really did not expect you'd upload right now. What a pleasant surprise :)
“is he the leader of the kiryu kazuma fan club ?” oh no, you'll meet the leader of the fun club soon enough, trust me
Kiryu's childlike infatuation with learning these fight styles tho 😂

Your Bacchus voice is like if Frieza was from Brooklyn 🤣
Edit: not an insult at all btw

Amazing as always, looking forward to... The other one

Hey this is important if you decide to do Yakuzas 1-8. Do or practice Karaoke whenever you can. It becomes important later in the series.
