I came late to the series, starting at Yakuza 0, then just finished Kiwami. My wife's family back in Japan wanted to send me a Japanese region one, and I was curious if anyone here has tried the samurai offshoot games. They definitely seem interesting, especially since they are JP region only; but I didn't know if they were super straight-forward or if they have a similar amount of extra content (minigames, sub-stories, etc.) to the main series. If it is super straight forward (or otherwise just not an amazing game), I might be more interested in importing Kiwami 2 since I still haven't played the original Yakuza 2. Thoughts on good imports for the series?

How does Kiwami compare to 0? I heard that it's much heavier on the side content vs. the main story.

The main thing is there’s about half as much stuff in Kiwami because there’s only one playable character in one city whereas in 0 it’s two

Kiwami shows its age, and its discount price tag. It's assuredly less of a game than 0. The story is a bit more barebones and meandering. The side stories aren't as silly. And there are less diversions than in 0. Not that I didn't have fun with it! But if you go in expecting 0 again you'll be a little disappointed.

The actual gameplay and story hold up pretty well, and are comparable to 0 in a lot of ways. The side stories aren't as wacky, and the time-wasting content isn't as deep yet, but it's still pretty good. But it absolutely still shows its age despite the upgrades, as boss battles are even more horse poo poo than they are in 0, as they slowly learned what it was that made these games good. It's worth checking out if you're trying to get further into the franchise, and if you have nothing to play since 6 got pushed to April.

According to this JP article, the game lets PS4 Pro handle the upscaling and there's no HDR support. The article contains two YT videos one on regular PS4 and the other on Pro for comparison.

Kiwami suffers from the game it's a remake of being relatively sparse, but at the same time it feels almost like an expansion pack to 0. It also makes me want to go back and finally platinum 0. Does anyone know exactly when Majima is available to fight? I fought him a couple times early in the game, and now I'm nearly done Chapter 7 and he's been AWOL this whole time. My poor Dragon style is all but useless

He'll be having a smoke and chilling out trying to think of new ways to gently caress you up.

Just play Kiwami for fucks sake. Any game will feel sparse compared to 0. It’s not as deep as 0 and the side missions are a little less risky but if you want a Yakuza fix until 6, you shouldn’t be disappointed.

Kiwami's really fuckin' good. Nothing will be as good as 0. Every reaction I've seen to 6 suggests it's not nearly close to 0 in quality and probably not even as good as Kiwami so if you're holding out for that to be the next transcendent Yakuza experience that Kiwami isn't, you'll be disappointed. 6 is probably still really good.

He wasn't there last time I went there I had to go to work during the car shootout sequence, so hopefully once I get back to Kamurocho he'll show up and kick my rear end.

Another vote for “Just play Kiwami”. I went straight into it after Zero and after not having played Yakuza since it first came out and I’ve been loving it so far

Maybe it's cause I watched the LP at 1.5x speed, but I thought Kiwami's story was not as good as 0's. I hope I didn't spoil myself by playing 0 first.

It's not as good as 0's story, but that's mostly due to them being limited by the story of the original game. And I think Kiwami is meant to be played after 0 anyway. They brought some characters from 0 into Kiwami that weren't in Yakuza 1, like the Pocket Circuit Fighter. That whole side story wouldn't have the same impact if you hadn't played 0 first.

Kiwami's the first in the series, technically. It doesn't have years of character to build off of after all. I think Yakuza games benefit from breathing room after you finish them though so even if Kiwami was as good as 0, I don't think playing it immediately after you finish 0 would reflect super well on it.

Yakuza didn't become the over-the-top farce that it is now until 2, so 1/Kiwami feels really weird after 10 years. Every side mission is basically genuinely trying to help people with real problems rather than deciding how a hesitant amateur dominatrix should speak in front of children, or punching plates for a movie, or having to beat down grown men in diapers because they got mad that you refused their hospitality. That doesn't make it a bad game, per se, but a completely different game from what it's become and what people might expect now.

Actually, I think it's because Yakuza 1 took itself so seriously that I had a hard time keeping a straight face during Kiwami. It felt a lot more trite and a lot less sure of what it was doing. Which, yeah, it's the first game in the series so early-installment weirdness abounds, but still. I'll definitely play Kiwami 2 though.

Pollyanna posted:I'll definitely play Kiwami 2 though. I've been playing the demo over again and even though it's relatively brief it's amazing. It just looks so much better than Kiwami 1. I mean not just on a technical level because of the Yakuza 6 engine, but the lighting being more like Yakuza 2, the less remixed music, the weird extra spaces and buildings and alleyways everywhere you can use as shortcuts, it's way more "Yakuza 2 but better in every way" than Kiwami 1 is compared to its original. I loved Kiwami a lot but I feel like this is going to be much less disjointed since there'll be less new story/character stuff they need to shoehorn in to make it seem like more robust.

I'm a dork so I still have a working PS2 and PS3 with the original games. That's why I'm in no rush to play Kiwami. Can't wait to see how Kiryu's story ends in 6 and bring on Fist of the Northstar!
