Well at least we would get him in Yakuza Dead Souls Kiwami and Yakuza 5 Kiwami years from now. Bonus points as they are using voice actors vs actual actors

So, almost done with this Hostess game. Found out you can make 1.2 mil per session on the final mission by spamming Hina's special move on customers, and that it gives you and the debt that 1.2 million. Buy a bunch of vogue confections at the bazzar to keep their motivation up and grind. Once you hit about 10 mil, go to your hideout and pay the woman on the bench right outside. Rinse, repeat. Man, this boss fight better be worth it.

Man the placement of the shooting segment in Kiwami is way more brutal than Zero on legend.

I picked up 0 since it was only $20 (which I honestly think is a freaking steal) I'm loving the batter style as Majima but I cant seem to get into the dance style. Is there something I'm missing? It just seems to take forever to beat anyone with it. Batter ends random fights in a matter of seconds.

Bat is for your heavier opponents, Thug is great for countering folks and dealing single-target damage, and breaker (when upgraded) chews through mobs like a lawnmower.

Inventory weapons may be stronger, but an on demand infinite durability weapon to block swords and knives with is a real godsend. I unlocked the knife style, but when things got serious I'd go back to the good old slugger.

The upgraded nunchaku combo with Slugger is ace for stunlocking. Pretty hard to get countered as well, even if they block

Section Z posted:I liked the bat style. Then I loved it when I got the 'enough heat means it will not bounce off walls!'. Honestly, I absolutely loved Breaker style. Something about how fun it is to get in a fight, breakdance most of your opponents, then kill the strongest guy by pushing him towards a wall with the headstand spin and just chipping him to death is hilarious and wonderful and completely Majima. Though it sucks when you're on the receiving end in Kiwami. Though Tiger Drop tends to cure most problems with a quickness.

New Tanimura looks like the love child of Akiyama and Old Tanimura. It's weird.

I hate how these fourth characters like tanimura and shinada just drop off the face of the Earth after their games. Tanimura would have been a great fit for some cameos in 6, given the setting and guess what: after some research, tanimura was dropped from later games because the actor was caught in a drug use scandal (that he was cleared of!). So the tanimura in this remake is another actor. geez Japan

I agree too like I understand not wanting to rehash everyone all the time but when the games take place relatively close to each other it's always noticeable when a playable character just gets dropped completely.

So Tanimura is going to be a different guy this time!!

I was honestly surprised that Yakuza 5 even referred to Tanimura by name, since he seemed to have become an un-person. Still sad about his new look, though. Just can't seem to get used to it at all. His new voice seems fine, though, honestly.

Yeah, I mean, Tanimura is all about Little Asia. So weird to not have anything about him in 6. And for some reason a shitload of Akiyama presence all the time. I guess he's super popular?

Even before 5 was announced a lot of people expected an Akiyama solo game. I do think there was a change of heart or some schism in their philosophy, not in a bad way obviously since the games still come out and are great, but even around 3 and the way 3 ends was on a Kiryu's getting too old for this poo poo note and it ends in such an absolute final final this is the end of him rolling around beating up folks way. But later on when 5 was announced I forget who but one of the team folks said that they felt the series without Kiryu would be really bad. I think it explains a lot of why which characters are prominent and how the story goes in 5 to 6 are kind of inconsistent and weird. Either way I'm hype for whatever this team puts out no matter the cast. Like even Dead Souls is simple fun even if it's not a great game overall, their track record is pretty nuts. I still think it was hilarious that 6 ends with Kiryu running away YET AGAIN when with every enemy involved with him dead he could have easily had the government guy just have him "officially" dead but give him a new identity so he could retire at the orphanage. I mean it fit and was completely in character for Kiryu but you'd think Date or someone would have mentioned the obvious solution, plus it'd be a situation where it's in the interests of the Japanese government proper to keep him protected forever. In my headcannon he moved to Honolulu and there's a spinoff game where Sayama is the main playable character and Kiryu is in the Date "I'll drop in from time to time to give you plot-advancing exposition and/or help with a midboss" role

It really is unfortunate that Tanimura got ran off because as people mentioned yeah he should have been perfect for Yakuza 6. A Little Asia-minded young cop who's willing to play dirty and skirt the law to save the good guys would have been the best possible person to help Kiryu in that game and it's weird that Detective Date sort of filled that role. It's like how they build up to introducing someone who can use their information network to help Kiryu locate stuff and you're like "Okay here comes Kage" and no surprisingly it's Akiyama, and he's mobilized the homeless as his weird network of roaming spy cameras. I can get that Yakuza 6 wasn't trying to be the ultra-sappy Everyone Is Here finale for Kiryu but goddamn man could you have I dunno brought back Kage or hell Majima other than the last 5 minutes of the game? Maybe Sayama could have phoned something in literally? Feels Villeneuve posted:There was a recent poll where he rated as the most popular character in the franchise, beating out Kiryu and Majima among others. It's sort of up and down. In the most recent update to that poll, he dropped from 3rd to 9th.

He knew so long as he is alive people will come asking him for advice or kill him. And he has ultimately failed Haruka when Iwami finally decided to hold her hostage with actual intentions to kill her and Haruto or beig put to a coma because he thought he could start anew by going to jail to serve time

I'm still bitter about those allegations and am genuinely sad about Hiroki Narimiya. I watched a bunch of dramas with him in it before too - the first was probably akihabara@DEEP or Bloody Monday.  He got done dirty.

I don't know if anyone else cares about this, but as consoles continue to evolve it gets more evident how bad Kiryu and Haruka's character models are compared to other characters. They are too simple due to the low poly PS2 aesthetics and it feels like no effort was spent in modernizing their faces. It's even more absurd in Haruka's case, given that they could simply update her facial complexity as she aged. It's very distracting for me, and adding real life actors to the game only makes it worse.
