Fucking ready for this! Only played (and beat) Yakuza 3 and loved it. Just ordered Yakuza 0 and Kiwami the other day, so I'm in for a treat
Well, here's some tips for you. Bookmark this post and consult it before starting the game. Also remember to swing by the Yakuza 0 OT at anytime, we'll be glad to help out!
Thanks for the tips! Is it hard? I hope its not like Dark Souls.

No. I'd recommend playing on hard difficulty, for a reasonable level of challenge.
Difficulty is also left up to the player in a few other ways. You can over-level quite a bit, or fill your inventory with healing items if you need to.
Nah it's nothing to the level of Dark Souls. The game actually is easier than earlier games in the series. You can change the difficulty at any time (it won't even affect the platinum if you're going for that) so no worries there. I'd actually suggest starting the game at hard and changing as you see fit because a lot of people actually found the game TOO easy but everyone's different of course.
EDIT: lol as Aki-at said, you can equip the Charismatic Autobiography for that authentic Souls-esque experience
Nah they're relatively easy games but if you want to make it hard like Dark Souls equip Charismatic Autobiography
I know gaf loves Yakuza to death but why ain't people raising their pitchforks over the "shameless milking" of the franchise at this point? the number of yakuza games being released recently is quite high and any other franchise would have been bashed to death if they had similar numbers. is it all about quality of the games? then would milking be excused if all games were good or do franchises still need a breather and why isn't Yakuza getting one? seems like an interesting discussion all things regarded.
Imagine the time required to get all platinums if they really publish a collection of 3, 4 and 5!
One last question I have, is the games cutscene heavy or more actiony?
Both!
There's a good mix, you might sit through 20 minutes of dialogue and then be thrown into a 20 minute stage beating up hundreds of yakuza. Obviously there's a lot of story in these games but there's plenty of gameplay to compensate.

Great. I hate games with little to no story.

You're in for a treat. Yakuza 0 was my first time digging into the series and I found the story captivating. Fully onboard for the rest of the series nowGreat. I hate games with little to no story.

FYI Yakuza 3 had like as much in game cutscenes as MGS4 did. They've only gotten bigger haha.
I play Yakuza ONLY for the stories. They are excellent. Even the sidequests are full of emotions.
One of the main things I've learned from Yakuza-GAF's shilling of Yakuza 0, is that we legitimately don't do a good enough job of conveying JUST HOW GOOD THE DIALOGUE AND STORY IS.
But to be fair, that's not our fault. It's much easier for us to sell the game with gifs and videos of insane combat and heat moves as that's more flashy and catches the eye. You can't sell a game based on a good story, unless the people are already interested to begin with.
But yes, the story, characters and dialogue is something that's been very good throughout the Yakuza series IMO. Yakuza 0 arguably the peak of it.
Yakuza is not a game with little to no story.
1 game is like 4 seasons of crime drama. Very easy to get lost if you're playing with brakes.
Yakuza games are extremely wordy and have long cut-scenes. In between story bits there is plenty of action though.

I don't think I'm gonna' wait on not playing 6 just to wait on a 2 remake. If they can't get it out in the States before 6, I think I'll just take the plunge on getting the PS2 version.For Japan. Kiwami came out in Jan 2016, we didn't get it until August 2017. It's happening, but there's no guarantee it'll be soon for us.
Thanks for all the thoughts. Looks like I'm in for a fun week. Lets hope they announce remasters of 3, 4 and 5 to go along with that remake of the 2nd game.
Plus you get kickass HEAT moves.
The fights look really flashy and cinematic!
That's a heat move. Think of it as a hard hitting finisher. It's entirely cinematic, the combat is different. You should watch some gameplay videos on youtube to get an idea.The fights look really flashy and cinematic!
Not a dynamic one but it has day/night depending on where you are in the story.Not really a big deal, but does the games have a day/night weather system?

And to add to this, only a couple of games kinda got weather systems (but only in certain chapters) - Yakuza 1, 2 and 5 have snow, Yakuza 1, 2 and 4 have rain (4 had really nice rain effects) but that's about it I'm afraid.
To add to this. The Yakuza games, are often set during the month that each game releases.
1, 2 and 3 were all released in December if I recall. They feature some cool Christmas content too.
5 and 0 are also based in December. I think 6 is as well? Though I'm not 100% sure on this one.

And 6 doesn't spoil 2 then? Or is it better to wait?
Nagoshi says despite the Yakuza Kiwami 2 leak, there will still be surprises at tomorrow's presentation according to Gematsu translations of his comment.
This event might be something special, I should keep my hype in che- ah whatever it, HYPE! YAKUZA 7! BINARY DOMAIN 2! SUPER MONKEY BALL 3! F-ZERO GX 2 SWITCH U! etc etc
Playing 0 and walking around the city was making that all too apparent.Yakuza x Persona must happen

Shit, I wonder if they can afford Laura Bailey anymore. Pretty sure though Travis would be on board though.
Binary Domain 2, here we go!
I doubt there will be a Y7 announcement tbh. See more chance of 3-5 coming to PS4 to make the most of the spike in interest.
so what time is this event meant to be happening, i believe it's the 26th in japan but i don't know when it's starting
