The Best Things in Each Yakuza Game

- *Subjective opinions. What exactly defines a "thing(s)"? Well, for this video I just thought to look at gameplay elements, bosses, songs, plot points, characters, locales, etc. I am mostly serious, but some of these are jokes jus' sayin'.
Fun fact I recorded the Ishin footage at the end of the video please do not tell what game is at the end as I recorded it myself using my own PS5 with my own hands and everything.
Believe it or not I actually like these games. Also, there are realistically just minor spoilers for 2 games and then an obvious one because you can see it coming from a mile away but warned you regardless because TH-cam is silly and likes to recommend game endings to games you conveniently have only just started playing. Oh yeah... and a mild spoiler for Ghost of Tsushima... Shhhh...
Notice that there's some 21:9 footage without any silly borders? Well, my ultrawide and beyond companions, check these mods out:

Hello! Did this one for fun and editing practice.
Please don't tell me I'm wrong, but instead tell me what your favourite things are. Whether it's your favourite character, story element, song, weapon, food item, place, boss battle, fighting style, inventory item, equipment, health bar colour, outfit, NPC, texture, ability, heat action, cutscene, dog (Mame or Pochitaro), or whatever else. Maybe, you'd prefer to just say your absolute favourite thing across the whole series? Whatever it is, comment below and I'll take a cheeky peek because I like seeing what people think about that sorta stuff.
Yes, I know the game is Metroid Dread.
To be honest Yakuza 0's chapter 1 probably is my favorite part of the game in series, it's just such an amazingly badass introduction dammit. But how can I forget the sewers, Tachibana monolouge and Nishiki + Kiryu duo fighting Kuze.
Ricky Mask grabbin' the fork to eat some of Dragon Mask's cake.
My favorite thing is either the original stabbing scene in 2 with Crazy Ken Band or the final chapter of 0. The cutscene with it's original music is probably my favorite cutscene in any game ever, and 0's final chapter gets me so fucking pumped. Both Kiryu's part and Majima's.
you're wrong mate. i don't know about what. but ye. told you
The lady alive part will be spoilers for newbies though
The ending of the first chapter in 0 is what instantly got me hooked into yakuza
The second I jumped through that window for the first time was when I knew I was going to like the franchise haha
Me it was chapter 6 the yakuza way. Second fight with Kuze with his motivation speach and later the scene with Awano dancing with this chick blew me away
@@Elozero250 same, glad I'm not the only who really got into the game through that chapter
First Chapter got me into Yakuza 0 but the ending with Majima and Kiryu in 0 was what got me into the entire series.
For me, 10 years ago, I was watching IGN's first 10 minutes (or so) of Yakuza 4. I was interested when they showed open world urban exploration. They caught my eye with Akiyama's speedy kicks. But then they got my attention when in the first combat encounter the playtester did a heat action and Akiyama suplexes a goon onto a railing.
You forgot the real best part of Yakuza 5
Akiyama again
Specifically him dancing
My favourite thing in yakuza 0 has got to be the majima introduction at the start of chapter 3
Hell yeah that whole scene is pretty excellent
Oh for sure! It was my first introduction to Majima since I had never played a Yakuza game before and I was completely enamoured by the cutscene and story and Majima’s character. so wonderful
okyaku sama wa kami sama desu
Want a Towel?
It's...... SHOWTIMEEEEEAAAH!
My favourite thing about Judgment? The insta"kill" EX action where you get a rando to take a ride in a yakuza car. Got it randomly and that was hilarious.
It's the best heat/ex action in the series haha
@@SnowiestAngeman I discovered it while fighting Matsugane goons on Legend. This is ironic since it's ayakuza being threatened by his fellows. Also, the drunk Yagami one is only second to that. I hope they get something even better for Judgment 2.
@@kaiserkreuz4155 I am also excited to see but yeah I use that car attack every time I fight Honda. It's ironic since he is being thrown into one of his own, that being a Honda
@@SnowiestAngeman Wait, it also works on bosses? (or rather, mid-bosses?) Sick!
@@kaiserkreuz4155 it works on bosses. pretty funny imo
The best thing in yakuza 6 is that no one of kiryu's friend dies for once
hirose?
@@finlandghto that’s it though tbh
@@funnynamelol3156 someya...
Spoilers man
thanks for the spoiler
Honestly people complain about how in y6 characters like majima or saejima didn't have much screentime but it also gave us someya, hirose and the best character ever han joon gi, also that pocket circuit fighter substory
Hell yeah THE Pocket Circuit Fighter? It is an honour
Y6 is my second favourite yakuza game in terms story but since i favour story over anything else it’s my second favourite yakuza game
@@ChrisJohnson1988 it was pretty funny though that Saejima and Majima are in the game for like 30 seconds at the start and 30 seconds at the end though haha
Like the whole thing is kiryu's story and his ending. That's what makes it my favourite. It's the perfect chapter for Kiryu to end his story on.
also our mascot ono michio
The best thing about Like a Dragon (7) is watching a dysfunctional found family form and the best story moment is watching EVERYONE protect Kasuga as soon as Arakawa shows up.
Yeah the relationships between characters is the best in Like a Dragon
@@SnowiestAngeman The other thing I enjoyed is if you pursue all the various drink links, everyone's got some rough shit that happened to them. The player might be tempted to start comparing which is worse but the game very wisely does not. There's no benefit in trying to compare trauma and everyone's baggage kinda sucks.
Don't forget Ichiban's song, unless that's not really part of the game, and just Ichiban being best boi, fight me
@@sexulpenut when you say ichiban’s song do you mean the future I dreamed of or the literal theme song that plays during the credits? Both are valid af tho
Finally some Nakajima appreciation. The dude is LITERALLY the best boss Kiryu's been under EVER.
Don’t forget! Nakajima’s VA voices Shimano!
Fr his backstory got me crying
I mean, I guess he's technically never directly under Kazama and Based Kashiwagi...
@@DeterminedTorres shimano if he was a good patriarch
Ishin looking kinda dope here
It is
I hope Yakuza team finally releases a localized version of Ishin someday.
@@mrlaidback83 me too
7:22 Yes... It's Ishin.
It's Ghost of Thushima.
My favourite thing in 6 is the Yomei Alliance, a very unique Yakuza organisation that stems from the never ending Tojo and Omi feud. As described by Date, they are very conservative, somewhat mysterious, and keep to their own turf, Hiroshima. They really felt like true Yakuza. I love those moments in the story where all street fight encounters are replaced by Yomei Alliance patrols, it really made them more menacing, even though this gameplay change was first introduced in 0 in chapter 9 "Ensnared". Yomei Alliance goon skins are also much more colorful and unique, ranging from Stajuns to full on 3 piece tuxedos. Their heavies speak in a rough, rash, corse Hiroshima accent, which makes them incredibly menacing, especially when they yell a fat "ORYAAAA" before drop kicking you through the entire side walk. Everything about the Yomei is perfect, and I beg to see it coming in other RGG entries
Yeah I actually forgot about them but thinking back on it now I did quite like the Yomei Alliance
Nagumo carried Yakuza 6 imo
He is such a hilarious character lol
I love the scene where Kiryu chucks a bat at him for seemingly no reason
@@SnowiestAngeman his hand slipped ok 👍
@@SnowiestAngeman I mean there was a reason...
@@thenorthstarsamurai Yeah his hand slipped
Glad that Shimano reincarnated as the best character in Yakuza 5
He grew his hair back
WAIT THEY HAVE THE SAME VOICE ACTOR
@@fallentrash1673 yup, same guy. Helluva voice range
Shimano if he calmed his ass down and get his hair
2:57 in that moment i was ready to kill somebody until the rest of the phrase appeared
Akiyama is the most beautiful and perfect man in the game
He is quite immensely handsome
@@SnowiestAngeman yes
Awesome dame da ne too.
And if you chuck bossman Nakajima out the window, he's likely the best character in 5 as well.
I love how I’m the thumbnail there isn’t a chad kiryu cause kiryu is already one
Yeah pretty much
He is GigaChad
If Tanimura was still around we’d probably have him at Sotenbori with Haruka instead of Akiyama
Yeah especially since they're investigating murders and whatnot
Tanimura was meant to be in Akiyama's place in Yakuza 5.
Akiyama was meant to be in Ogita's place in Yakuza 7.
Yakuza actor fuckery is eternal.
@@vyeelime8143 Doesn’t shinada have one of his heat moves from 4? Haven't played 5 in awhile so I can't remember correctly.
@@zjmstrash7181 he kind of did. he had the pole heat move, which is the exact same as tanimura's (I'm pretty sure) and essence of armbearing which is just kiryus climax heat move from yakuza 3. (which is prob the one you're talking about) I wouldn't exactly count shinada as a replacement for tanimura tbh but some aspects of their fighting styles are similar other than the fact that shinada is a more heavy fighter while tanimura is a lightweight fighter
@@vyeelime8143 Tanimura's actor's scandal happened years after Yakuza 5's release, he just wasn't meant to be in 5.
Also, it was Ogata not Ogita.
In my honest opinion what brought me back to Yakuza 5 countless times was Shinada, he has by far the best individual story and is the nicest guy reaching Ichiban levels of hero personality
As much as i love bakamitai in Yakuza 5, the best thing for me in Yakuza 5 is without a doubt, all the idol part with Haruka and Akiyama LOL
I didn't like it all too much until Akiyama started dancing then it became the best part of the game
@@SnowiestAngeman yeah same i did like the more professional batting and taxi sid content the racea where meh but the pther ahit was fun
You didn't cover Yakuza: Dead Souls but Imma say the best thing in that game was Majima karaoke
Majima chapter was the best part in dead souls (and playing as Ryuji)
GET TO THE TOP!!!
@@chriscallejas8934 Ryuji with a gun on his metal arm, I'd like to specify
Nakajima honestly was one of the best things from Y5
Not only is he a pretty good character but he's the guy that keeps Kiryu going throughout his story he also kinda sets Kiryu on the right path of thinking definitely the best boss Kiryu has ever had
Indeed and when he learns of Kiryu's big secret as to his identity he's like "nah that's cool man you do what you need to do and if you wanna drive a taxi we'll gladly have you back."
I love him
One of the best things in my life rn is your channel. no cap.
Haha thank you
Favorite part in 0 was when Majima went full Mad Dog on the 3 asshats who were kicking him down. IDC what anybody says, that was the best part to me and it would've been even more satisfying if we actually fought them ourselves.
Wait, so you covered best things in Yakuza 6 and didn't even mentioned Joon-Gi Han and his kickass battle theme? >:(
The video would have had to end abruptly because everything after Joon-gi Han would have paled in comparison sadly
@@SnowiestAngeman you could have put it at the end or something ig
@@SnowiestAngeman in other words joongi han op
1:41 Bring that shit kazuma!!
What I enjoy most!
Yk1: majima!
Yk2: favorite combat
Yk3: epic story
Yk4: character variety
Yk5: lots and long side activities for each character
Yk6: favorite cinematics, soundtracks and ost
Hope to play yakuza 7 soon
Yakuza 7 has all of those unless you don't like the turn based stuff. It's an incredible game
YK means yakuza kiwami and y(1,2,etc.) or ykz means yakuza so yeah
Oh boy, can't wait for Yakuza Kiwami 6 with turn based combat
Was expecting Yakuza 4 to be the soundtrack. Legitimately my favorite yakuza soundtrack
I thought it was going to be karaoke again. It has all the best songs.
Hey what is The name OF The SONG in 2:55
@@alefsilvavieira8442 Where Has Your Touch Gone from Yakuza 3
OMG YESS i would literally pull up the menu during fights, crank up the volume of my headphones, and listen in bliss for a little (:
Someya is such a good character. One of the best.
Best part of every yakuza game: Goro Majima
Yes
I think yakuza 5 had my favourite moment from shinada, sitting there with nothing left, he gets a call from a friend trying to get him to come home and he breaks down in tears, he finally got a happy ending for once, obviously my summary doesn’t do it justice so go ahead and look it up
Bruh I love that cutscene so much as well. Heartwarming moment
Imagine how they all reunite with him after the whole Nagoya family situation
Ok but real talk, pride from despair is probably my favorite part of Kiwami 2, to the point that I felt actual disappoint playing 3 and realizing how tame Kiryus karaoke songs are. Seriously, it’s a song that perfectly describes both Majima and Kiryu, and it’s just a killer song overall.
I feel like it's criminally underrated. Probably my favorite yakuza karaoke song of all time
tonight
I love the dynamic intros with the music it always hypes me up
Yakuza 4: For Faith and all its arrangements that play in everyone's final fights
Kiwami 2: Taking two of the series' best minigames and making them even better
Judgment: Strongest story in the series, with stakes that feel real and some seriously chilling antagonists
Yeah Judgment had some awesome story moments. I remember a specific scene where I actually got butterflies in my stomach because of how exhilarating and suspenseful it was. First time a game has properly done that to me with its story
My favorite thing in yakuza 5 is the taxi mini game since Sega made the initial D games they know what they are doing
just wanna say that as someone who's about to get into Kiwami 2, the transitions for the fights in Kiwami 2/YK6 go incredibly hard
Judgement is simply; “Fuck around and Find out.” Simulator
Outlaws lullaby has no business going so damn hard but fuck me it's a certified hood classic
Why are your videos so damn good?! Just watching this makes me feel like playing them all again.
Sorry for the late reply but thanks man I'm glad you like all my videos haha
@@SnowiestAngeman I appreciate your effort to make these. Just watching them is enough!!
love the beelzebub theme m8 great job love to see it
My eyes shed a tear in advance for 3:58
Best things to add for a future video
0 : Majima as a protagonist and each character's final battles.
Kiwami : Removal of More Speed = More Combos, Rush style being useful.
Kiwami 2 : Best Version of Hostess Club
3 : Mine being a better villain than Shibusawa.
4 : Akiyama, Akiyama, Akiyama, Tanimura's combat, Akiyama, Tanimura's Dynamic Intros
5 : Shinada having a good story and character build-up, Haruka's concert rhythm game is pretty fun
6 : Best looking Dragon Engine game ever despite having issues by cutting down what you can do in Kamurocho, best soundtrack from the whole series since it's more emotional (edit : don't forget about PCF)
7 : JOON-GI HAN IS YOUR ALLY NOW, Ichiban Holdings, Best "ridiculous" substories ever, crazy summonings.
Judgment : Best story in Yakuza game.
Fist of The North Star : Most brutal heat action.
I'm gonna have to agree with everything you've said here. Also, yeah Majima as a playable character genuinely was a really good decision by the developers because he's such a fan favourite that being able to have a whole story as him was amazing. But I didn't say it in this video 'cause I didn't want to overlap talking about multiple playable characters
If yagami wasn't a rubbish character judgment would be excellent
@@gamwpanagia bruh what
@@TheDwan443 I agree, Yagami just seemed really uninteresting as a character for some reason to me too. Maybe I was just having high expectations for the Protag since I played Y7 before it.
If shinada didn't suck yakuza 5 would be way better
This is the greatest thumbnail in existence, no contest
Thank you haha
7:21 I’m pretty sure that this is ishin, yup you got it right
Ah, thank you. I wasn't too sure
Note:Takumi Someya its Shun Oguri. Who play as genji In Crows zero and Aslo in Godzila Vs Kong
0: a lot to love about this game, for me it’s just the sheer volume of shit we can do. If we’re talking specific scenes though, either Majima’s introduction or the pizza sub story.
1: the atmosphere. I don’t think kiwami is an exceptional yakuza game, but it was my first one and the most immersed I’ve ever been in a video game
2: ryuji motherfucking goda
3: the setting. I love tropical beach settings, kiryu’s in a Hawaiian shirt and it feels like he’s on vacation, even if there’s serious shit going down in the plot.
4: Saejima’s best boss fight. If you know you know. Also the soundtrack of that game hard carries it imo
5: Shinada’s moment at the end. Yakuza 5 is one of my favorite games in the series and though i also adore kiryu’s section of the game, shinada’s was probably my favorite to play through. Just the realization that he has people who care about him in life after everything that’s happened really resonated with me.
6: the side content. 6 is maybe my favorite game in the series, it introduced some amazing characters, the atmosphere and setting of onomichi is fantastic, but something that keeps me coming back to it are the minigames. Spear fishing, baseball, getting to know people at the bar, the cat cafe, and even the absolutely hilarious live chat game
7: this is such a big and fantastic game, it’s hard to pick just one thing. For me though, the prospect of playing a yakuza game in which you have a party was mind-blowing. A very well written and likable party at that, I love every single one of those characters, and I think it’s a very exceptional game’s greatest strength.
Judgement: the best rgg story by far. The qte events and cutscenes are absurd spectacles for sure, but the story of this game is even better. Rgg stories are usually nonsense, they’re mostly good but very hard to follow, but manage to hit you in the right ways at the right time. Judgement is a legit mystery, with a main bad guy whose identity is secret, but is still given time to be a bad guy on screen (dodging a pitfall that a lot of these games fall into with their main villains).
Hell yeah to all of those especially the pizza sub story and Shinada who a lot of people hate for some reason but I love him. Especially at the end like you said that shit was so emotional when he realises all of the friends he has and how much everyone cares for him. Takasugi is also a beautiful man
@@SnowiestAngeman truly one of the best follower characters in the series, we love loan shark kyodai
The best consistency in the all of the games is the banger soundtracks god I love the music,it's one of things that made me fall in love with this series,that and also smashing bikes on people's heads
Yeah the composers they get for the series are some big brain geniuses
0:49 Ok bro we get it... you have a better gaming chair we get it bro no need to flex
My gaming chair makes me omnipotent I gotta flex it sorry
I love the trope when you know shit is about to get serious or the fight is a key important one for the serried if someone takes their jacket and shirt off.
Really great video! Editing is real engaging… loved it dude
Thank you also I thought your profile picture was Colonel Sanders for a sec
So I'm not the only one who gets into every possible fight in Sotenbori in Kiwami 2 because of Outlaw's Lullaby? Like when I'm in Kamurocho sometimes I run away from random encounters because I couldn't be bothered, but never in Sotenbori.
I do indeed do that haha
man i really love these edits
Thank you I hope you enjoyed the whole video
They need to keep the hub area with all your friends, and karaoke from LAD for all future games. I've every yakuza games installed, across PC and PS and Karaoke is my go to mindless stress reliever. LAD nailed it.
dude u forgot the taxi in yakuza 5 and playing as haruka but i still like this guy
Yeah true the taxi races were pretty epic but uhhhhhh Haruka was uhhhhh not
When I clicked on this video, I didn't think I would agree with every single thing you liked up until Yakuza 6 and Judgment, so I'm pleasantly surprised. 😍
I haven't played the rest of the games but have watched Kenzan and Ishin; and lol when you showed Ghost of Tsushima.
Started watching this earlier this year. Then had to stop at 4 cause I hadn't played it...
I can watch the video up to 7 now :)
Joon-Gi Han being Vergil with the Bodyguard job is cool :). Also for me, the turn based gameplay is more engaging than your typical turn-based gameplay. Probably because the involvement of the Perfect Guard mechanic, and Perfect Damage ( the one where you either time your button press, or mash it). And oh, don't get me started on Business Management.
Safe to say, I'm hooked on the game until now. (129+ hrs and still counting, haven't even maxed all my personality yet lmao).
It's a very addicting game and I never thought of actually making Joon-gi Han Korean Vergil with the Bodyguard job haha. But also yeah the only turn-based JRPG I can think of where timing button presses affects the gameplay in some way is Paper Mario so I'm glad they did it. It rewards you for actually taking part in the battles, rather than just sitting back and selecting attacks or auto battling
@@SnowiestAngeman A little fun fact, If you look at the English Description of "Essence Of Diabolic Slash" (which is the ability that cemented Joon-Gi Han as "Korean Vergil"). It literally has this in the description:
_Slash the enemy with enough force to tear the underworld apart._
_ahem, ahem_ Yamato _ahem, ahem_
@@falanteris5402 Damn, so he really is Korean Vergil
Never thought a yakuza video would make me want to play Ghost of Tsushima again.
Loved akiyama and his playstyle. Yakuza 4 and 5 had so much fun with PlayStyles and also locations.
Kiwami 2's best moment is either the final fight with Ryuji or the final fight of the Majima Saga
The Ryuji fight's QTEs and other little animations in the fight were very cool but I wish he was stronger or that Kiryu was less overpowered in Kiwami 2 :/
@@SnowiestAngeman I get that, but i honestly feel that the fight in itself along with the music made it very emotionally powerful
For me the best thing about Y6 is the best antagonist (Joon gi Han)of the whole series and his banger theme song (and of course the lovely Ono Michio)
i love how he shows literally every other yakuza game but youtube's just like "Yea this is the one that hasn't even been officially announced"
Honestly, any of the dynamic intros and action sequences from Judgment fit the category
I feel like the stab scene in 2 original is also a deep moment. it's a lot more impactful than kiwami 2's since it added a suffice to the stab, ruining the tension and confusion.
I do hope that tanimura is the main character on judgement, i like his new model, and i hate the fact because they lose an Actor they really trash tanimura character and existien completely, like WTF, tanimura should be more Involved in Yakuza 5 because he in Yakuza 4 ending sure become some kind of date cops duo, he really are perfect for judgement ngl
Oooh actually now that Tanimura has a new actor I wonder if they would put him in Lost Judgment? It would be extremely cool to see
@@SnowiestAngeman would've been... can't we just get a spinoff with tanimura in it already? He is literally only 2 years older than yagami
It's even weirder when Tanimura's not in Yakuza 6 considering Little Asia literally burnt down and all
7:16 so, this is the famous Yakuza Kiwami: Ishin?
Amazing content as alwaysss
Thank you for enjoying my stuff :)
To me the best part of 4 is still the Pure Love in Kamurocho duet with Hana
This is how I came to love the Yakuza Series:
Played Yakuza 0, never played a Yakuza game in my life, played it cause of the Bakamitai memes.
When the end of the first chapter came around, I WAS SO GOD DAMN HYPED.
Afterwards everything else, the story, the characters, the karaoke, it's all amazing.
I love this series to bits, played every game to finish except LaD & Lost Judgment, so i plan to play these soon!
Missed the opportunitiy to put Joon Gi han in the thumbnail
I tried but it didn't feel right so I scrapped him sadly :(
Man I still remember how fun chapter 1 of 0 is, usually those indoor fights can get annoying after awhile but the one in zero felt weirdly refreshing
First video watching since yesterday. I'm subbing
Thank you for subscribing :)
Akiyama in 4 was the best thing ever.☝️
Angeman: best things in each yakuza game
youtube: LOST JUDGMENT
I will always love the fighting styles of everyone in Y4/5, I never got a hold of Tani, but all were great.
my favourite thing from 5 is how saejima got distracted and started hunting for a couple of days.
The best thing about 6 was the baseball.
Best thing about yakuza 3 has to be the characters
only in yakuza games you can say that one of the best things is how they improved the karaoke and the songs
Yakuza 1 had an English dub. Boy was it something.
Yeah but it was poo poo smelly bad
@@SnowiestAngeman I liked it...
@@josephpotts8208 well then pretend I didn't say anything
I'm late and this is probably answered already, but what's the background song that plays during that akiyama appreciation scene around 2:51?
The song name is where has your touch gone yakuza 4 it written on description
@@Anti-Soul oh but in the description it was yakuza 3 which got me really confused, but yes that is the right song, thanks!
I just can't when I see the yakuza dead souls is on 8:05
burh you serious🤣
1:25 I just noticed that this monitor ratio shows you more of a cutscene! 16:9 always ends on a half of Kiryu (as intended I presume)
Yeah I had an ultrawide mod on but normally it actually shows like 60-70% of their face so you can see most of it anyway haha
Nice SMT 3 Reference
What I hate about karaoke that 3, 4 and 5 share is keyboard arrow keys are set as buttons and I can not interpret which to push because they all look the same. They should have added colors to them.
I like machine gun kiss
I, too, like Machine Gun Kiss. What is the best version of it though?
You forgot 10 years in the joint for Yakuza 1
It's a little bit funny that even though Yakuza 4 was the first game in the franchise that I played, it (and Yakuza 5) made me wish we could've gotten another game with just Kiryu since I enjoyed his play style the most even though I still liked everyone else to an extent with Akiyama being my 2nd favorite. I don't know, I really just wanted more games with that moveset which technically we did get with Kiwami but it isn't really the same and the less I say about what I think about 6 and Kiwami 2's combat the better.
The world needs another officially playable Akiyama
1:13 I see my final battle wasn't the only one ruined by lag during the cutscenes before.
The moment you see Han Joon-gi and he looks like TOP from BigBang from Fantastic Baby video :D
7:20 I saw this coming as soon as i saw the kiryu and ryuji scene
6:05 First time I saw PS3 Kiryu I was weirded out as hell. I felt that PS2 Kiryu looked better at the time, but then I got used to it.
Dead souls didn't make it but the best moment was majima chapter and that kazuma intro.
Yakuza 0: Majima's "hitman who fell in love with his target" story.
Yakuza Kiwami: Nishiki boss fight I guess.
Yakuza Kiwami 2: Sotenbori looks beautiful in that game, and has a large story significance.
Yakuza 3: The fact that I don't have to play it again.
Yakuza 4: Akiyama
Yakuza 5: Also Akiyama
Yakuza 6: Han Joon-Gi
Yakuza 7: Han Joon-Gi again
And now, for the worst things in every game:
Yakuza 0: Every good character dying.
Yakuza Kiwami: How bad the game works, if you have a 144hz monitor.
Yakuza Kiwami 2: Early game combat is a joke.
Yakuza 3: "Combat"
Yakuza 4: Well, this is my favourite game from the franchise, so I don't really have anything to dislike, but I guess we could have done without one or two of the plot twists.
Yakuza 5: Why does Akiyama have half the screentime as the other characters?
Yakuza 6: Where is Shinada?
Yakuza 7: Where is Akiyama?
I love my Shinada!
Yakuza 6 time.
Where is my Shinada?
Shun Akiyama
Literally kicks ass
I love that you had nothing for Dead Souls.
There is nothing that can redeem that mess
There should be an update on Ishin on what is your favorite part haha
Im still sad that tanimura is not gonna be in series anymore
Yakuza 6 is my favorite yakuza game of all time because awesome characters, cool story/plot twist, and amazing combat
Yakuza 7 is literally One of the best RPG‘s I’ve ever played!! For you not to like it is a Crime !!!!
As a Yakuza Kurohyou player, J can safely say to all Yakuza 0 players that there are Mr. shakedowns in the game
Imo the best thing about Y6 was that badass cutscene after Kiryu beats the shit outta the endgame boss (not using his name to avoid spoilers)
