RandallODim posted:Not disagreeing about cool guy Shun Akiyama deserving his own game and being the best, but the thing that brings him into the plot in 4 is that he's lent a bunch of money to a yakuza organization, and is super invested personally in Arai so I don't think you can say he's got no connections. It's the same laid-back charm and general good-heartedness as keeping an eye on Haruka that elevates him above that. Akiyama just wants to believe in people's potential! His intro in 5 is great. "Aw man, you guys busted up my new printer! ....oh, wait, you're seriously trying to shake me down for protection money? HAHAHA, OK, time for sweet air juggles".

Section Z posted:I finally started taking the fight to extortionists (Thanks, encounter finder). I have come to respect them as wonderful people. Hopefully past this chapter 9 stuff, I'll have a chance to do it with Majima before the main plot train goes too off the rails. Kiryu's is also helped by the fact that it's literally just "how he plays in the other games" so if you've played a previous game you'll have a decent grounding in how that works (I had forgotten that the dropkick used to bounce him back to a standing base, for instance, but it quickly came back). Majima was only playable previously in a game where his main mode of attack was "shoot in head with shotgun", so it's harder to parse what moves he 'should' have unless you were obsessive about watching his boss patterns in the other games. Can I also, on a totally different note, point out how great the localisation job Atlus did is? It's so nice having pretty English graphics for the enemy intros instead of just the kanji and a bland subtitle, and they even romanised the karaoke lyrics so you can sing along!

Awww  The NJPW tie-in seemed like the obvious way to get new moves by Kiryu defeating each guy and learning one of his big moves in return.

So far, I've talked to the guy on Bishamon bridge, and I've eavesdropped on the two guys just south of the Odyssey. There should be one more conversation that I need, but I haven't found it. Could anyone point me in the right direction? There's a wannabe hostess on the south side of Bishamon I think.

If they HAD to have it, they could have had it be fully interactive and make each girl have one of the styles in the game, and maybe some of the ones from 4 and 5.

Yeah, I cheesed it with a bunch of zap guns after failing a dozen times. Kiryu's version I also sort of cheesed the first half, but the gimmick for the second part is clever and totally fun and doable. Hell, the first part isn't even that hard, just tedious.

Beelerzebub posted:They should have kept it at 1 style and progression the same as in the original or replace brawler with Dragon style and made it not poo poo imo. Also, how do you stop bosses from regenerating health? Unlock the Essence of Extreme {Blank} for each form, then when they go into regen mode, switch to the style that matches the colour of their aura and you'll get a special Heat prompt. Dragon style also gets fairly useful once you get far enough into Komaki to unlock the 'does more damage to boss enemies' upgrade. Plus the Tiger drop and some of the other Heat actions like the counter for flanking attacks. Majima at S rank is starting to get the Mr Shakedown problem of not being hard per se, just being a wall of HP.

For anyone who played Kiwami on import before the localisation came out (and understands Japanese... which I believe is like 3 goons) how much of Rina's dialogue/story in the hostess quest is there in the original, and how much of the English version is the localisation team trying to salvage things?

I know it's about 80% Japanese cultural sexism and 20% not wanting to show Haruka getting beaten up, but I think they could've done some kind of high school gang stuff with her to avoid having 40 year old dudes smacking her around. Have her fighting other teen girls that are being used as pawns in some kind of convoluted conspiracy.

reddit dude: Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami are two of my favorite games released this year in North America. I love that we have been getting the games in the west and am looking forward to seeing the localization for Yakuza 6. For Yakuza 6, are the New Japan Pro Wrestling characters present in the game going to be localized into the western version? NJPW is becoming popular in America, so I am hoping so as a big fan of both Yakuza and NJPW. Sega guy: Thanks man. Yes, the NJPW guys are all in the game. TRANQUILO. *** First, really happy about this. But also scared that the music licencing crap will prevent them from having the Rainmaker theme.

RandallODim posted:The one with the expanded version where he follows it up with a two-foot stomp on the dude's face and upper chest? Yeah, that really was superior to the face punch. Is it literally called Hokuto ga Gotoku? Cuz that makes it sound like (and it looks like) a RGG game with a licence. I mean, people are hoping for that anyway, but I mean that literally. Like it's just Yakuza 0 but with a Hokuto no Ken skin.

MrJacobs posted:2? How the gently caress does that work since 4 was the new hotness during Y1/Kiwami and this is only a year later? Would you still play it in the arcades or is there a saturn console somewhere that you get to use? There's a non-zero chance that the Majima segments are flashbacks so they can have ponytail Majima (yes, I know he got his bowl-cut and jacket immediately after the end of 0, shut up) back and not have to worry about what Crazy!Majima does when he's not hiding in a giant traffic cone or crashing heavy vehicles into buildings.

It's also not like they just ported it because they were being lazy either, there's a bunch of other side activities that AREN'T in other Yakuza/RGG games, so they specifically made sure to bring the hostess minigame over.

Onmi posted:4 has a few absolutely amazing moments. My top 3 all being relegated to the Kiryu chapters. The prison guard thinking he can take Kiryu and Kiryu just being "that's adorable" towards him. Katsuragi flat out telling Kiryu that he refused to deal with him unless Kiryu went through a gauntlet of his men, because unlike Nishikiyama or Ryuji, he'd rather like to live. Not that it saved him, and finally, all four of the villains expressing just how utterly hosed they are because the plan hinged on the critical factor that Kazuma Kiryu did NOT GET INVOLVED. But now Yasuko is dead, so the plan is hosed. What about 5: Where the end of act 1 has Kiryu face an ENTIRE loving ARMY with tanks, RPGS and all, and THEY'RE the ones scared of HIM.

Ugly In The Morning posted:FotNS is on the old engine, right? It’s gonna be hard to go back because the Dragon engine is so much smoother. Hot take, but I like the old engine better in a lot of ways. The fighting feels so sluggish and limited in the Dragon engine games. Sure I can smash up the shelves in a corner store but who does that more than once? It's neat, but once you've seen it, there's nothing else to do with it. FOTNS feels so much nicer and I feel like I have a ton of moves to use and think about.

Including one who's important to Majima's backstory, and one who's similar to Majima's Y0 portrayal.

kirbysuperstar posted:Uh, because his face is in it too? Also they're not going to remove the JP VA entirely again after Y1. As noted, it really depends on if he's in the pre-rendered cutscenes, and if so, how many. If he's only really in like one or two short scenes, and it's in-engine the rest of the time, they can just do a minor model swap like they're doing for Y4 and redub the lines. If he's a major character then it gets more tricky, because it could make the whole thing more expensive than it's worth, and then Sega have to decide whether they want to leave him in the western release because his crime isn't that big a deal here (and also, it's not like Disney made a totally different version of Infinity War without Iron Man for Japan, so they are definitely aware it's not as much of a thing overseas)

hamburgers in pockets posted:Do any Tojo or Omi people actually show up in this? I've been trying to steer clear of story spoilers this whole time, but gently caress would it be jarring to have like, Majima or Saejima get a cameo scene where they speak English. Unless Majima's dubbed by Mark Hamill, in which case I absolutely will play the entire game dubbed just for that. I'm only on chapter 2, but none of the main players from the older games yet. Kamurocho is 100% acknowledged as Tojo territory though and any Kanto yakuza are X of the Y Family, a Tojo Clan Subsidiary. Edit: The food thing is why I'm always baffled that they treat 'food heals 20% MORE' as an upgrade while gating sidequests and XP behind the food. Surely it healing LESS would be better so you can eat more. And it's not like money is ever really an issue in these games. Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Jun 21, 2019 |

6 hours in and Yagami is asking a college girl what colour panties she wears so he can catch a perv. It's like Kiryu never left. (Actually, I feel like this may have started as an idea for an Akiyama or Tanimura spin-off, then Kimutaku got on board and they revamped the character to be like the one he played on TV. )
