What brave new reality have I awoken to, where not only has Gio Corsi secured us Yakuza 5, but now Yakuza 0 with a physical release even.

We're slowly getting PS2 compatability for the PS4. Maybe one day we'll get PS3 compatability too?

That awful streaming service doesn't count.

We know the Yakuza series is loved by all its fans in Europe but unfortunately at this time we're not able to confirm a Yakuza 0 EU release.


Well I guess they don't want to translate it into more than English but man.

edit: odd thing to put on twitter when the trailer has coming to North America and Europe though. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVfXeiGUEAATB8D.jpg:large

Man, I want 1&2 HD, but it just hit me it might be much easier for them to slap Yakuza 1 & 2 PS2 through this new emulator thing and let us play those games again that way. I'd buy.

Did HD change the combat? because that's probably the only kinda heinous part of 1.

Pre-load for Yakuza 5 pre-orders is live in the NA store. File size is around 23 GB, which means you'll need at least 46 GB of free hard drive space before you can download and install it.

Going by the new end date for the pre-order discount, this might be available Tuesday midnight Eastern / Monday 9pm Pacific.

As of now, Yakuza 5 is not in the EU store. it was promised to come out on the same week with a launch-week discount.

It's worth writing down characters on paper, the KHH guide is incomplete when it comes to equipment but it'll do. I lost links to some sweet Japanese wikis listing everything and crafting. I know the game pretty well, can help you out if there's anything else.

Eh?
Normally I borrow a PS3 to play through the Yakuzas but I find myself without this time. It seems a bit ridiculous to buy a console for the express purpose of playing one game (two if you cout Dead Souls) but you gotta do what you gotta do. Now to wait for a sale on used.

I know a lot of you played the Japanese version of 5; are there any changes from 4 that I need to know Before I Play? Nothing too spoilery, just little stuff that might throw me off, or skills that are essential to buy ASAP, or early game substories that look dumb but give really good rewards. I know nothing has really been missable since 4, and Dead Souls added substory markers to the map.

E: also, any hot tips for the dance battles? I don't play a lot of rhythm games, are they hard at all? Besides the inevitable Amon-chan encounter.

I still can't believe this. Look how far we've come. From lamenting that we'd never get Yakuza 3. It's astounding and heartwarming how much momentum the fanbase has given this franchise in the west. Every time, I'm blown away that we're getting one of the games. Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Dead Souls, each time less likely than the last. And now we have a one two punch of not only Yakuza 5, but fucken Zero.

What an agonizing yet incredibly satisfying journey these Yakuza threads have been. We fuckin did it, guys.

Ishin isn't very good, really. Maybe if they had left out the guns and a few other things it would have been okay, but drat it had a lot of stuff that got in the way of my enjoyment.
