I need Kiryu very seriously driving a taxi-themed go-kart across a giant mahjongg table, driving over Staminan pickups and chucking traffic cones at Majima in the lead

My dream game like this would be one where you play as Nishiki and have it set between Kiwami and 1 so you can have the story span the bubble and the crash/90s. But instead of having any fighting at all just a really light goofy story and it has every mini-game and arcade game and karaoke track/video from the entire series in it.

The announcement should be that the remasters are coming out on Steam goddammit :negative:

Yeah, this is what I want. Worse case scenario, they put them on the Series X or whatever which, if that has the same backwards compatibility as the Xbox One, then I can get a console with Yakuza games and also those other random Sega games that happen to be on there like VF5:FS and Virtual-On OT and etc.

Best case scenario, that Series X stuff happens to just work on Windows 10 I guess?

I can only see the branding coming as part of a “SegaSammy bought by Microsoft” story, which would be a loving bombshell. Microsoft had apparently been sniffing around Japanese firms as part of their studio purchase spree, but...man.

Also lol if the next Persona only comes out on Series X.

It would have to be a LOT of money for Sega to give up on the mint they make via the Sonic & Mario Olympics games.

Microsoft seems pretty lax about stuff showing up on Nintendo platforms, so they could theoretically just keep doing deals with Nintendo on that front I guess.

Alternatively, "Master Chief & Sonic at the Olympic Games"

Good. I was worried there was some unique side story hidden away or something. He ate at the giant crab resturant and won at darts, that's a pretty good day.

Kiryu can do the underground arena there, which I think he has his own separate ranking? Didn't do it much with him so I dunno what you get for progressing to through it with him.

Dunno if that's an actual spoiler but just in case.

I remember reaching the point where Kiryu goes to Sotenbori for the first time and feeling momentary terror at the idea of each character having a set of sidequests for both cities. But no the characters have all their content bound to their respective city. There's some funny flavor text though like Majima having no interest in the Pocket Circuit building because it's a game for kids.

My favorite was Kiryu going up to the restaurant that's a front for the weapon shop and going "But I'm not hungry."

That still would have been incredibly handy because I legit thought that was one of the Majima-exclusive things.

Yeah, I didn't know about it till one of the last few chapters of the game. I'll just have to remember it whenever I go back to the game.

I’m glad (Kiwami 1 spoiler) Majima got that stick out of his rear end like 17 years later as a 40 year old man so that he could school Kiryu in a children’s game

Y0 went from being crazy insane bonkers to being incredibly sad in a short span of time.

It feels like I should be getting close to the end based on how the story is progressing but I feel like I'm actually only about half way.

Kuze is such a gently caress up, I can't help but feel Bad for the guy.

Avoiding spoilers here - I will say he's become one of my favorite characters in the series, and the ending should make that clear. If not np, we can circle back when you're done. Kuze rules

kuze's a piece of poo poo but he's a charismatic piece of poo poo. he's like a classic yakuza movie character, as opposed to kiryu who is a wonderful sweet man who would never intentionally do anything bad.

Majima everywhere was a lorefriendly way to have Majima explain to Kiryu what he had done in Yakuza 0.

If it was Kiryu Everwhere, he would explain the time he ran a real estate firm after Majima's boys were shaking up a real estate firm and the subsequent antics, dealing with a phone club-esque minigame and the time he was a film director for an advertisement at Kanrai

Kiryu Everywhere would never involve a fight with Kiryu, you'd just chat with him a while before a group of thugs would try to pick a fight with the both of you

Kiryu everywhere would be him running some errand on your behalf and telling you that he believes in you and you should always live to your full potential. 5 mins prior to this he flattens some goons with a moped but not before driving his knee into the base of someone's skull.

iirc if you find him at the hostess club, Kiryu tells Majima he used to run a real estate firm and Majima says "oh yeah, you were into some weird poo poo back then"

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Kiryu Everywhere would be you're in the middle of a minigame when he suddenly shows up because he's in the middle of a sidequest and now it's a super boss version of the minigame.

Is losing to a wild Majima encounter still a game over? It’s not a problem I encountered outside the ultimate battles, because I always carry a dozen bottles of Staminan Royale in case I’m ever in real danger, but I feel like Majima would just be “aw chin up Kiryu-chan everyone has their bad days; chug this bottle of Toughness ZZ and I’ll come at you again later”

Edit: not including the places in chapters 5 and 10 where you fight Majima for real like in the PS2 version

I'm pretty sure I lost to an Officer Majima encounter because I underestimated how much damage he was doing and it didn't game over me. I think the Majima Everywhere meter moved up a little though.

You don't game over. Replaying K1 on hard now and lost once. The Majima everywhere meter went down by 1 if I'm not mistaken, making it take an extra win against Majima to rank up. The bar seems to go up by 20% every win and goes down a tiny bit (hard to even see) when you lose.
