Considering Akiyama spent time as a bum and has, according to Y4, at least, spent years of his life getting jumped by 3-7 rival loan sharks every ten minutes or so, it makes sense that he has some skill.

Question about Saejima's hunting missions: After a couple of tutorials, there's a mission where you're supposed to go find an injured man and the village leader (Nakima?) on the mountain. No matter what I do, Saejima collapses in the blizzard next to the injured man. Is there a way to succeed at this, or is it a 100% fail that just leads to the other missions?Samurai Sanders posted:Honestly I expected her to want to be a schoolteacher, but afaik there's no yakuza influence in that so it wouldn't have been appropriate for this series. Edit: The lead actress is Yukie Nakama, who is pretty cute but has spent most of her career in roles where she's supposed to be "ugly" or plain. Kind of like how a Western actress puts on glasses and ties her hair up in a bun, then suddenly she's the least attractive character in the universe.

Japan: PS4 Japanese version PS3 Japanese version Both are ¥7,009 each, which converts to around US$60 / CA$86 / £42 / €55 / AU$86.

I'm already over it. It's already a somewhat different Kiryu than I have seen for a while, as a proper, experienced yakuza officer. I'm happy to be back. edit: but Majima back to being a loving ghoul is bizarre, coming from either 5 or Zero. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Jan 21, 2016 |

I haven't played it, but isn't Kiwami the one that has the whole subsystem where at any time, Majima can burst out of a nearby trash can or vending machine or hostess and attack you?

Please let that be true. "Oh Kiryu, you're funny! Hey, I'm so hungry, can we order some chi-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" [Majima leaps from the hostess' cleavage] "KATATE KOI, KIRYU-CHAN!" The Macaroni fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Jan 21, 2016 |

I'm picturing the scene from Family Guy where Lois opens her top and an angry raccoon jumps out, but instead it's Majima.

I'm buying 0 anyway, whether I have a PS4 at the time or not. I'm fully on board for the Yakuza brand at this point. e: I can't believe 0 isn't coming until 2017. That's nowhere near soon enough.

I like how easy the batting center stuff is with Shinada, except for the final mission, that might take a few tries.

They could but it'd be stupid considering too many people want to get into the series but either can't play the PS2 games, or won't play them because Yakuza 1 especially is janky and outdated. Then again, this is Sega and they don't make smart business decisions so I could very well see them skip over Kiwami for 6. I just think it'd be a mistake since Kiwami and 0 would introduce a whole lot of new people to the franchise in the west.
