I'm hoping he's not saintly like Kiryu. I want someone who's a dirtier Akiayama. Like a grown up Tatsuya.

>>388718761
Right now indifferent. I like Kiryu, but he has to go, sure.
But I also like Akiyama, yet they wanted to make a new guy, who looks like a mix of them.
He seems more jolly and has a red jacket (akin to Akiyama), yet his backstory is pretty much Kiryu's.

REMINDER!!!!!!

KIWAMI HAS A SURVEY

In the survey is a bunch of usual stuff, but it also has questions on localazations on future games, Kiwami 2, Fist of the North Star.

FUCK GET ON IT.

>>388719536
2D is always better
Playing as Yakuza Mugen could be cool

>>388719560
I loved baseball-kun.

He suffers from being in the same game as playable haruka with only 3 fucking songs imo

The fuck do you mean if? He IS replacing Kiryu. And I don't mind. Just surprised it wasn't who we all thought was going to be his replacement. Also who cares if a buncha skin hating fuckers hate him? They don't play Yakuza.

>>388719560
He had a pretty intriguing main story, and it definitely felt like the longest of the bunch. He got off way better than Tanimura with his chapters that are literally talking to one or two people, fighting for five minutes, and then that's it for developing him. Hell, Tanimura gets more development in that Russian Roulette substory than most of the game.

>>388719536

Well he did like a 17 year bid, so he's not gonna be clean cut. I like that he isn't clean.

>>388719284

>>388720051

so glad nagoshi has a high position at sega

Why aren't you playing kiwami now?

>>388719446
Yeah, it's pretty alright. I liked Tatsuya and how much of an asshole he is. Best thing about that game is the OST, though

>>388719984
It is tied to a rank.
And sometimes you get blocked from progressing on some trees.

Ichiban seems okay. Gonna be shitty if they resolve his whole backstory in one game.

In progress, KHH did the main story but then stopped after that so item descriptions, I think item names, substories, etc are all not translated at all and the guy in charge of the project says there's this big mess with how he got around adding in English letters causes Kanji to appear as ??? and it just looks terrible. He's basically looking for translators, otherwise he's planning on releasing it in the ugly state three months after 6 comes out.

>Is that even possible on psp games?
Yeah, there's tons of English fan-transalted games like Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Final Mix and Final Fantasy Type-0 being ones that immediately pop into my head. Nowadays they patch via xdelta rather than ips though.

>>388720238
The main story is finished but the guy workin with the translator want to find more people to work on the side quests. If he didn't get anymore help in like months from now, he'll just release it with only the main story translated

Hold L2 to not use heat when the prompts pop up to save the bar. Carry lots of heat refilling items in Kiwami to really fuck up bosses.

TIPS

>6 has more more double saves

YES

>>388721073
I actually won that fight with Majima.
Realization was the same.

>>388719192

I feel that same way. The way he introduced himself was great. Kiryu is so boring now.

>>388720616
Kiryu was a fairly high-standing Yakuza by the time of his arrest with lots of connections. Ichiban was treated as a civilian with his arrest, and was a middle-school dropout hobo raised by the dregs of society.

>>388721695

Yeah his struggle is more real, as with the fact the Omi has taken over most of Kamurocho.

Is there an certain order on where and when to fight Majima?

I want Ichiban to be a mix of Nishitana, Shindada, Akiyama, and Kiryu.

>>388718849

He looks cool imo

It's be cool if previous characters are nocs in fights.

damn I actually feel bad for nishiki

>>388723275
I completely fucked up my last comment there my bad.
He went on with the idea that Haruka got knocked up by a literal fucking who Chink who left her alone.

>>388722136
Tanimura had the most balanced movelist to work with in 4. I had more fun parrying enemies than Akiyama spamming kicks or charging attacks as Saejima. Shinada has the least numbers of tools to work his way in combat, half his heat actions are locked away in the underground arena. Grabs are practically useless in arena since bosses can break out from it whenever they feel like doing so.

>>388724229
Shinada's fighting style was ass. His heat actions were badly put together too. A real shame that Tanimura's actor decided to do something else. Yakuza 5 might've ended up being more cohesive in the story.

They recycled the plot from 4 but it but that's okay since it gave us the option to fight Kiryu again.

>>388725209
The idea was great. The execution was piss fucking poor.

So, is Shin a reboot? No mention of Kiryu, Majima, etc. And Kamurocho is finally controlled by the Omi, like Ryuji wanted.

>>388724983
>His heat actions were badly put together
In what way? I thought the way you can follow up on the strong attacks with heat actions was a good idea.

>>388719560

I really liked shinada actually. I just wish his moveset wasn't utter dogshit.

Something about a worthless guy who got screwed out of the only thing he ever had a talent for just appeals to me.

>>388725413
Sequel, bot a reboot.

>>388725529
As a character he was pretty great.
It was also funny how he can't even afford a taxi at the beginning of his chapter.

>>388725316
>>388725264
Holy fucking shit, I read long ago that he just wanted to pursue his modeling career.
That's a real shame.

>>388725352

Why do you think so?

Genuinely curious.

>>388724229
>whenever they feel like doing so.
The way grabs work is after you've landed a single, proper hit you can then grab an enemy at any point after that and you get around two to three seconds to drag them around. Bosses are about one to two seconds unless you're wearing the gloves, same applies to fat guys and the kickboxer type enemies though if you grab any of them off the ground they'll kick you away. If you try to grab them again after having either attacked them or they broke out of your grab they will break out of your grab possibly indefinitely until you land a hit again at which point it resets the grab counter.

The only exception to this is Komaki when he's not Komaki Parrying your ass. In 1 you can grab him as many times as you want and eventually it just lets you but it's not normal for most enemies and this was basically the best way to beat him in the Underground Tournament.

>You now realize that the only reason they're getting rid of kiryu is because if they used him again they'd wouldn't be able to use kamurocho again

>>388725727

So we'll probably meet Kiryu and get to cuck him with Haruka then?

I think you have it the other way. How was doing a 4-way deathmatch a good idea to draw out the big bad? Funny how it turned out for the protagonists, if it wasn't for Kurosawa's bad eyesight they would have been dead. Even better when Kanai showed up just to shoot Daigo and decided to save his bullets instead of shooting everyone across the building

I love how Nagoshi tried to stab Kiryu until he showed up

>>388725772

Honestly that probably was the actual reason at the time, now that I think about it he only retired last year.

Still, it's pretty much set in stone now that we won't be seeing Tanimura ever again

>>388726096
Which one? That rock one linked last thread?

>>388725920
>my reading comprehension
Shinada heat moves where he follows up a series of attack was janky as fuck. His combat overall doesn't have much 'flow' compared to Tanimura. God i missed played as the cop and doing those police scanner missions, throwing the guy attempting rooftop suicide always put a smile on my face.

>>388726049
>>388725794
I was just talking about the idea of a four way brawl between conflicted ideals was good along with Saejima vs Kiryu rematch was a great idea, the reason behind why they even fight is damn stupid. Y5 just felt like a stepback from 4 in how the game handled the balance of multiple characters.

To be fair that's how Kiryu's and Saejima's were. Kiryu's only real difficult fight is the optional one against the cop Musketeer you unlock after you finish the story. Saejima gets a gun that can one-shot bears and two-shot deer without carrying and reloads relatively quickly, and every two or three story missions you complete make it even easier to aim and survive no problem, and then you can unlock the golden rifle that one-shots everything and reloads quickly.

It's common sense, when you have a game is coming out you should be advertising it, and ignore any related products

In the month Kiwami is coming they pushed out a bunch of 6, Shin and even Kiwami 2, it's all detracting attention, and will make Kiwami sell worse

>>388725806
>grab counter
Does that work in 5? There's a few times a series of grab works on enemies even on Komaki in the arena but other times it doesn't.

Could be dependent on the type of boss or some RNG nonsense. Sometimes 'My meteor tackle' connects slams the boss into the wall if he is near one but sometimes that doesn't work and he counters it. In Yakuza 3, i spam grabs on blocking bosses no problem even on Ex-Hard but the grab mechanism 5 feels wonky.

>>388727386
Those were announcements for the jap audience where Kiwami came out almost 2 years ago.

>>388725881
I didn't mind teen Haruka, granted she was at her best in premium adventure when she could travel with Kiryu.

>>388727476
It's dependent on the bosses. Akira Yamaoka for example follows the exact same deal as Komaki does so you can pull the same trick with him but to a lesser effect. But bosses like Baba, Tanimura's cop friend in 4, and I think one guy from 3 will almost always counter unless you punch then and then grab them from behind.

My Meteor Tackle itself is just a really wonky thing, you can be far away from a wall and he'll decide to do the slam, other times you can be mashing circle and it's a 50/50 shot he'll throw the guy or not. Saejima's the only one who has consistent grabs since his Tiger Puppetry relies on it.

>>388727863
Yeah I bet she had a few premium adventures

I'm still mad they've dropped the skill from Yakuza 4 that helps to throw enemy easier. Instead we have 'increased damaged from throwing enemies" twice in the body upgrade for Shinada who benefits from only two attacks: 'my meteor tackle' and countering people while being grabbed. Would be nice if RGG studios stopped making Yakuza games every year and pay more attention to balance their game. 5 is the wonkiest Yakuza game i've played up to date.

Is it me or is karaoke harder in Kiwami then the other games? I had little problems but where I'm having problems getting over 800.

also remember to finish a rush combo with a charge attack or use a charge attack on the boss while they're healing to make the heat move do much more damage. this really helps out a lot.

>>388723558
So? Shit happens in Yakuza, I don't understand how this is a big deal.

>>388729789
It always amuses me when people shit on 3, when it had some of the most heart of the series. People bitch about the orphanage but it's such a great bit of character for Kiryu. All the Okinawa stuff is the best part of the game.

The twin and CIA nonsense is silly, but no more than other wacky plot points of the other games. Anyone who shits on 3 is not a Yakuza fan worth paying attention to.

I just want more Akiyama, Saejima, and Majima.

What kind of idiot waifus Haruka?

Can anyone confirm if this glitch still exists? https://youtube.com/watch?v=jeYxuY_Mz9s

I hope it didn't get removed.

I played through both of these in full Japanese and I can't read moonrunes. Have no idea what was going on in the story, but gameplay was so fun that it made up for it. Fucking Aki made amazing fighting games. You can bumble through it even without knowing Japanese without any major problems.

Just bought Kiwami yesterday, you should do the same

>>388718849
is that te guy from party rockers? loved that song

>>388735947
my only maybe issue with this guy is that I have a hard time picturing him doing a serious shirtless endgame showdown, he's just a tad too goofy looking for it. Maybe when he's real mad he'll look more intimidating

>>388718761

I would love an anti-hero now, Kiryu was too good.


I want this revile with Kiryu.

I don't like him much purely because he looks too safe of a design for a completely new character that's also meant to shoulder the mainline game as a protagonist. Nishiki's VA, Kiryu's facial hair and inverse suit colours, super similar backstory. If he was just a one-off for the mobile game I wouldn't care.

He might end up being great, but he reminds me of shit like pic related, attempts to give the series a new character but then base him heavily on the previous mc.

>>388718761
his name better not be Ryuki

>>388737528
But Nero was okay.

>>388737997
To each their own, I guess. I thought he added absolutely nothing to the franchise and was basically a less likeable DMC3 Dante.

He played like an absolute blast, though.

>>388738142
Well, in his debut, Dante was also pretty boring, so I'd say guys like that shine in subsequent installments.

>>388733970
>the cross counter at the end
Fucking love how they called back to it in the Mine fight at the end of 3

He looks like Robin Lopez

>>388736252
>>388736342

So is the antagonist for the second game supposed to be the young upstart butting heads with Kiryu the veteran? He is supposed to be like at least 10 years younger than Kiryu right? Feels weird after playing as a young ass Kiryu beating up on older Yakuza in 0.

>>388740826
If he can do martial arts and is somewhat tall, he can be the bad guy in some action films.

>>388719284
As much as I like beating up cunts and getting into adventures as Kaz, that white knighting gets a bit tiresome.

Don't even care if he's a shithead as long as we get some nifty substories

So what do we know about Yakuza Online?

Don't forget to do the survey and pester SEGA about Ishin.

>>388742250
Ishin is never happening.

>>388742348
Just like 5 was never happening

Playing Yakuza 2 right now, the cop lady asked me to buy her underwear and beer but my inventory is full so I can't buy shit, yet the game won't let me into Serena because I haven't bought the stuff the cop asked for. What the fuck do I do? I don't want to sell any of the shit I'm carrying.

>>388742582
Just like Kenzan is never happening

>>388742692
Why the fuck didn't you store items?

>>388742692
How the hell did you reach that point without knowing phone booths double as item boxes?

>>388741148
He's the elementary kid in one of Majima's substory (who's almost as tall as Majima in elementary school)

>>388718849
>Yakuza game
>PARTY ROCK IS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT

>>388742881
Are you sure? Just went to a phone booth and it only asks me if I want to save.

>>388742901

Yeah, I recognized his name and that sidequest so that is why I figure he is much younger than Kiryu although he looks about as old. He can't be older than mid 20s right?

>>388742582
>a mainline title that almost didn't get a western release because the previous spinoff bombed so hard

Can't wait for the PSP games myself

>>388742881
>>388743094
the first to yakuza games don't have that option. the HD edition added it in but it's jap only,

What exactly is Majima Everywhere mode?

>>388743428
Then do I really have to lose my items to progress?

>>388736342
Oh, they changed Ryuji's hd model so he doesn't look 20 years older than he should.
Good shit.

>>388743441

Looks like it is just Mr Shakedown where he pops up to beat your ass every now and then and you have to win to upgrade your DoD style.

>>388743557
there are probably item boxes somewhere in the city, though i never had this issue when i played through 2.

>>388743557
OH RIGHT YOU CAN ONLY STORE ITEMS IN HIDEOUTS BACK IN THE PS2 ERA.
Guess you have to sacrifice something then.

>>388718761
I don't give a fuck about any of the playable Yakuza characters that aren't Kiryu or Majima and I never will.

>>388743634
Mr.Shakedown didn't jump you from manholes, challenge yo to darts, pretend to be a hostess or any of the other shit Majima does.

So I think this character won't be the main focos for the new Yakuza games.

Each new Yakuza game will have a new protagonist(s), and each will have a prolouge on Yakuza Online. Yakuza Online is a hub to introduce new plots and characters into the Yakuza series. It's to get casual players in Japan who only play games on their ühones to try the big console games that have the complete story of the characters they learn about thorugh the app.

>>388743707
Well, that fucking sucks. Especially since this comes right after the part where Dojima's wife gives you the key to that secret room where you can pick up a bunch of useful items, I filled up my inventory with valuable stuff and immediately after that the game decides to prevent me from using item boxes while also requiring me to buy multiple items to progress.

>>388743792

That sounds hilarious and a good break from the constant fighting. I barely started Kiwami so I only ran into him once after the intro fight with him.

>>388743792
But can you get his pocket car?

Basically Majima can work like Mr.SHakedown int hat you'll find him walking aorudn. However there are times where he'll jump you from manholes, cones, trash cans, cars, from buildings, corners or even interrupt your fights with thugs. There are also times where he'll challenge you to minigames and you'll find Goromi at a hostess club. When you get calls, you'll get a rank up event where a green dot will come up and what Majima does is a scripted event.

>>388744572
>this is the Majima everywhere system people have been shitting on since Kiwami first came out
Sounds pretty great honestly.

>>388722004
Tanimura's fighting style was great fuck off

>>388744916

>guy gets stabbed pretty deep somewhat early in the story
>is on the sidelines until he's ready to FUCK THIS SHIT UUUUUUUUP again
>loljk he went around stalking kiryu 24/7

horrible

>>388745443

So people had a problem with it breaking immersion? Aren't all side activities in these games basically not canon and there for hilarity? I mean you can't really expect them to be getting into all these shenanigans in between really dramatic and tense main quests right?

>No hideout music`
That's really disappointing :(

Why are people saying this kiwami is hard is this their first yakuza game?

>>388745987

when the side activity involves a character that should be hiding somewhere in his family cave and recuperating from a stab wound instead of pretending to be a hostess, police officer, bartender, etc etc, yes

>>388746337
I haven't heard anyone mention difficulty, passed maybe complaining about boss health regen.

>>388735947
>>388718849
>>388718761

Why the fuck is his hair so messy?

>>388746672

He has a disease

You can't have a Yakuza game without Kiryu so I hope that in the future games he's the Komaki successor and you can bother him to train you while he's drinking

>>388746534

I mean he is the same guy with time warping powers I played in 0 where I did the entirety of the cabaret club storyline in between a mission that should have lasted only a mere night.

>>388736031
He looks way cooler in the 2D art than he does in 3D, fucking hell. This usually only happens with the chicks in this series.

>>388745987
>Aren't all side activities in these games basically not canon and there for hilarity?
Where'd you learn that?

>>388729946
>>388730357
The big deal is that in the end of 5 and through the events of 6 she pretty much ruins Kiryu's life by being a moron. Who gives a fuck about Haruka, Kiryu's the one who needs protecting.

>>388747637

Probably when I was earning more money from my real estate business than what the stupid empty lot was worth yet everyone and their fucking mother was all bent out of shape about it rather than demanding the newbie on the block give them a slice of his ridiculously profitable real estate earnings. Or when I earned enough money from Mr. Shakedown to buy the entire fucking city outright if I was given the option.

The new character didn't even make it to High School.

He will be a dumbfuck not like Akiyama.

>>388747943
Nah lad it's canon. What you thought was trillions of yen was just thousands, and the Shakedowns took it all with them and fucked off somewhere.

>>388748214
Still mad we never get to fight him. Him and Majima beating the shit out of each other with baseball bats would've been amazing.

>>388728914
Apparently a follow-up substory involving that chick he was supposed to get with was among the ones that got cut from the localization? I'm only going off of what I've seen others say though.

How do i use the Dragon Style in Kiwami.
It doesnt genrate heat, it's slow, and does little damage?

>>388719560
where can I answer the survey?

I'm playing the first game on the PS3 right now.
Was that batting cage fight with Majima supposed to be hard? Thought it was a pretty cool fight and beat him on my first try.

>>388737587
His name is Kasuga Ichiban. His last name literally means "number one".

>>388749816

Gotta beat Majima a million times.

>>388744572
Goromi best girl.

Where can I change my clothes in Kiwami

Why are these threads filled with so many shitposting niggers?

Who the hell thinks that a fucking carp is an intimidating tattoo for a gangster?

>>388750821
Isn't there some Japanese folklore about a carp turning into a Dragon? Nishiki's tattoo is probably based on that

>>388751038

Too bad he can't magically warp his carp into a dragon later on and is stuck a carp forever

>>388750278
you can't change until you're in premium adventure, but I think all the clothes are in the free DLC they're doing
