He's 20 in Yakuza 0.
He's 27/37 in Yakuza 1/Kiwami.
Doesn't really matter much though, cause he's Japanese Jesus. He doesn't really age like mortals. He's 48 in Yakuza 6, yet looks like this.

My copy is on the way from Amazon, so hopefully, it arrives early tomorrow. Can't wait to play this since I loved 0 so much!

You should've bought it on physical, that steelbook is an amazing addition to any Yakuza collection.
Now that I've finished last episode of Game of Thrones, I can devote myself fully to KAMUROCHO!
Christ this is out tomorrow and I completely forgot! *checks pre-load*
Have we had any indications from reviews how long Kiwami is?
I played 0 through 77 hours with doing a lot of side quests, an ok amount of side activities and the whole cabaret Majima storyline.
I'm kinda hoping this game is a little shorter, my backlog is creaking haha.

It is shorter by quite a bit because you only play as Kiryu plus there is just less side content in general being a remake. They could only add so much to make it still fit Yakuza 1's storyline.OléGunner;247177896 said:

The hype is killing me. Just bought 3 & 4 now on PS3. Even if they announce remasters of those, won't be coming out this year or next. $200ish gone, lol. Bought 0, this, 3 and 4. The next few months is nothing but this series for me. We probably will get the 2nd Kiwami end of next year.
Does 3 tell what happened in 2 at all? If not I guess I can read a wiki page.

3 has a movie summary showing you the gist of what happened in 2. But why not just wait to play through the remake? You'll lose the impact of some of the plot twists by watching a short video compared to actually playing through the whole game.
3 has recap videos of both 1 and 2 that you can watch.

It happens kind of out of nowhere and makes very little sense at all. Don't worry about it.

Like I said, its a long wait for the 2nd remake to make it here. I'll watch the recap, then replay the remake when it releases. And I won't understand 3 if I haven't played 2?
Excellent! I get everything on Wednesday.

2's story is almost completely self contained. I'd suggest its better skipping it, and just grabbing the remake. Its just doing the game a disservice by spoiling it for yourself. I mean, its worth waiting at least until December to see if it gets an English announcement via PSX, its not really that long to wait if its released within the next year anyway.

So don't play 3, or play 3 and don't watch the recap? Its my OCD, I like to complete things all at once. lol
Peroroncino

3 is self contained as fuck, apart from a very brief prologue where you just say goodbye to 2 crucial characters from Yakuza 2, it's basically its own thing, similarly with 4.

So, I guess you people are getting at is don't watch the recap, and if it is its on story, then I can play it with no knowledge of the 2nd game?

By the way, 3 has the slowest "start" in the series. You gotta bask in that slow start otherwise it'll take away from your experience.
Legendary song
I might be the only one that cares about this, but I did some searching and found the following:
"So you can start EX Hard with your clear save data. When you do, all your items will be where you left them when you made the clear data save. The items, weapons, and armor in your inventory will stay in your inventory... and everything in your item box will stay in your item box. The weapons and armor you have equipped will stay equipped too.
All side missions reset, and so does the Completion List requirements for Komaki. EVERYTHING else is carried over... all the mini-games completion, coin locker completion (not sure if you can recollect these again or not), heat moves, food and drinks lists.... everything."
(From https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/181171-yakuza-kiwami/73485993)
Can anyone confirm- one can do a full Ex-Hard playthrough starting with a clear save vs. "just" premium adventure mode? This seems different than Yakuza 0; what's the difference between a clear save start on new difficulty and premium adventure mode then... simply no story missions in the latter?

Slow games don't bother me. I played through the demo and loved it. I just like great stories. Even got down on some karaoke.
If you're going to play Kiwami 2 anyway, don't watch the recap.
So something like this - 0, Kiwami, 3, 4, 5 now, then 6 in March 2018 and Kiwami 2 next year (hopefully).

I wonder how excessive the majima stuff is in this game. There's tons of trophies involving majima everywhere time.
lmao
my copies havent shipped yet, sad!

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I don't know why I'm so excited for this, but I am. Crazy to think it's been 11 years since I played the original... and at the time, I wasn't even a huge fan due to the clumsy gameplay. This series has come a long fucking way.

I just beat Yakuza 0 yesterday (my first Yakuza game).
It was amazing -- will definitely pick this game up down the road!

Haha! This got me. Thanks for posting this.
The recap is an abridged video that summarizes the entirety of prior games. So expect to be spoiled obviously for Y1 and 2. It will greatly help give context to the relationships, clans, and certain characters though. The different game's all feature new villains and contained stories, but there are cameos, and lots of callbacks spread throughout you will miss out on or lack context for. Not a big deal if you only care about stopping the bad guys, but the inhabitants of this universe don't just disappear with each entry and part of the fun is all of the connective tissue.
That said, Yakuza 3 specifically is focused heavily on new cities and environments, so that particular game is just as much about Kiryu exploring a different area of Japan than he is accustomed. Makes it a bit easier to jump in freely, but the opening hours at the orphanage will be a bit confusing.

I got a review copy that I've been playing as much as I can, which isn't enough. It's a phenomenal game, and I pre-ordered a copy for my shelf to support the series.
God what a good game it is.

Here's what Sam Mullen, Senior Localization Producer at Atlus USA had to say about it.
I'd suggest this as it's cheaper but you honestly can't go wrong either way (as long as you play both DAMN IT)
