Onmi posted:No I get that I've beaten 0 and played Kiwami, I know it's ladies in fetish bug gear. It's here because it was in 0. It's that it's a terrible mini-game because it can take forever and you have no control over it. The only 'control' you have is during a clash of the same type, and here's the kicker, that's a lie. you mashing doesn't DO anything in the clash, whether you win or lose is entirely RNG. Personally what it's 2005? I'd have done a DDR Disco, but I guess repurposing animations that exist is easier than getting new songs.

Oh well in that case I can totally see why this would be an acceptable game and now I feel bad for making GBS threads all over it, and Haydee.

Augh, the original version had a Blue Gang Boss with a taser who was a lot tougher. They made the Akai Bros fight harder to compensate but still... And you may have missed a rare weapon with a unique Heat action worth commenting on in the White Edge fight. Did you notice those Mysterious Syringes on the alley floor? Next time you do that fight I recommend using one on somebody if you can. It’s quite damaging even if it does take skill to pull off (one use weapon, better have Heat for full effect).

Glad I could help. Hope it works the same way in the remake. Unique brutal Heat Actions are my favorite part of Yakuza combat. Witness the Salt, Portable Stove (numerous games), Box of Nails (Yakuza 0), and many other examples.

So Chaos is not spending your EXP just to mess with Jobbo at this point? EDIT: Also I'd love to actually play that moment where Kazama comes for Kiryu, because dad rage is always fun, as we've been seeing by Kiryu Dad Raging for Haruka. And unlike Kiryu, Kazama kills.

Wow, I forgot your health gets refilled when the truck shows up in this version. That's surprisingly nice of them. I also like how the game shows that Kiryu non-lethally shot that guy in the arm and caused him to pass out, only for his truck to dramatically explode five seconds later. And yes, this section is utterly painful in the original game, as recently documented in episode 24 of my wildly successful Yakuza PS2 LP. While you have to control the camera (with the shoulder buttons because what's a "right analog stick"?) and can't hit enemies when they're offscreen, the enemies don't have the same problem and will shoot you quite happily when you're busy turning the camera around. Of course you don't have bullet time either, all you get is a zoom that only manages to reduce your field of view and make aiming even more difficult. It's not great.

Kiryu doesn't know what Wei is surprised about, he does that kind of thing to people all the time and they get right back up after the fight too. The reverse of this routine is a bit darker

You guys missed two key details in Nishiki’s change. One, he was about to commit seppuku (Japanese ritual suicide) when the jerk walked in and started mouthing off. Nishiki was too weak to kill himself but killing the jerk- no problem! And then 2. He uses the blood splatter to slick back his hair. Symbolism! I’ll say more after I finish watching the video but so far I think the scene worked better for me than you. EDIT- ok, maybe you did get the symbolism. Ok. And Majima just keeps getting goofier. I think his giving up Pocket Circuit is probably more the shame of falling off his own special crazy course than losing to Kirryu though.

This also helps bridge a line introduced in Yakuza 0, and one that sort of runs through the series but is REALLY a heavy influence in that game. That the act of killing is and of itself an act that fundamentally changes the kind of person that you are. Throughout the story, both Majima and Kiryu are pushed by outside forces to kill, both are driven to points in which they are about to go through with it, and both stopped. For Majima, what happened was not enough to sate his anguish and pain, and thus, his transformation was complete. For Kiryu, Nishiki stops him and lets him know that, if push comes to shove and they come to that line, they'd cross it together. There's a heavy emphasis on how the taking of a life was a very final thing. Here, Nishiki mentions that having killed once, he can't see the weight in killing again, and so, does it. He killed Dojima without Kiryu at his side, and not that Dojima didn't deserve to die, but Nishiki crossed a line that cannot be uncrossed, and every event we've seen is the chipping away at what remains of the old Nishiki. Finally, having lost his sister, his unrequited love (Yumi) and his brother (Kiryu) Nishiki has nothing left. Every humiliation suffered for no reason, every time he bowed his head, without purpose. Toshihiro Nagoshi has mentioned that, when it comes to Yakuza, he didn't want to glorify the thrill of committing a crime, not really understanding how one could look at such a vile act and derive pleasure from it. And you can see it both in how his protagonist's actions, and his villains.

^^^^ A good analysis. Really the only crime Yakuza glorifies is stealing bicycles for the express purpose of beatdowns.

So someone did an interview with Darryl Kurlyo, Kiryu's English VA from this game, about his experience with the series, and its a pretty good read! Also yeah, there's a lot to unpack with the new Nishiki stuff, and that's a pretty solid reading!
