Not to mention his amazing duet with Aya Hirano. Give me a full Sky Finance album.
Is "Inochi" a pun on life or something similar? (assuming it's a made up name like Kamurocho and Sotenbori). I just learned the subtitle in japanese is Inochi no Uta (song of Inochi?) and got curious.
Edit: Never mind, I just remembered the town is Onomichi*

I love Kiryu's singing voice but I agree that Akiyama's Bakamitai version is the best. Both his and Kiryu's version of the song are on this CD (I have it, it's great):
Yeah pretty sure my save in 6 is just bugged. Spent the last hour in the Yakuza endgame "do this shit now or forever hold your peace" in Hiroshima and never got the bar friends substory to spawn. Even dug up the exact spawn in a video walkthrough, took a taxi 5 or 6 times to reload the area, and walked back to and from the shrine to reload the area. Nothing =\
Pretty sure my run is just overall bugged when it comes to substories. I remember seeing shadowman16 say they're super easy to stumble upon and I barely cracked 50% of them when I usually hit 90%+ in every Yakuza game. Oh well, gives me something to do when the final version pops up and I go for a legend run I guess.

Maybe you should make a thread of the ultimate post-apocalyptic entertainment. I guess rangerBAD will join the club.
I plan on making one along with him, but still haven't settled on a name. Best I could come up with is "Tiger Drop of the North Star"
...
*Dodges tomatoes*
So uh yeah if any of you guys have anything better let me know lol >.>
Just finished 6
Other than some bits of it I ended up loving it so much that I don't even want to play another Yakuza game, and I mean that in the most endearing of ways. Defo one of my favorite games this gen thus far.
Overall playtime was 32 hrs, about exactly half as long as it took me to beat y5. I suspect I would have added at least 12 hours or so on top if quests weren't bugged out on me tho

I will say though the ending reminded me a ton of Ishin lol >.<

Bug quest ? I'm at 48/52 sidestory so far (one have to be at night and other i need a item for dude in the other city). Got a bug quest during hotess that never trigger, reload the game then it work.
Yeah wasn't a big fan of the story but just reach
and thing start to get really good. And the game have so much nice fan service if you have played previous yakuza game that make thing really fun to discover.
Also these late Clan war sidequest are insane hard and grindy.... can't imagine the hardest one....

For whatever reason quests just seem bugged on my end. I've ran across hiroshima and kamurocho to the point of exhaustion (have both of them burned into my mind at this point lol), and still am only at like 27/52 done. Not to mention the bar friends side game just will not load for me no matter what I do =\ Previous Y games I've always done at least 90% of the substories. Even in Ishin, where I couldn't even understand what was going on 90% of the time, I still did 58/67 substories. The only reason I can gather I missed so much in 6 is just bugs. Which considering *how* I played the game I can't really complain too much about lol >.<
But yeah same here on the hostess stuff. I had to reload 3 or 4 times to get Saki's quest to go. I tried Amon once before the last boss and got one shotted when he was at 10% health T_T
I'm not entirely sure if it's just me since I normally find most of the side quests, but I'm at chapter 10 or 11 and I've only seen 23 so far.
I honestly can't remember having issues getting the side stories for 6 to trigger. As mentioned above I got them all but 1 which seemed hard to trigger. Keep in mind that quite a few are tied to mini games - snack bar, fishing, baseball etc. so make sure your doing the mini games as well!
What's the snack bar mini game lol -_-;
I'll mess around with baseball and fishing some more. I have a really love/hate relationship with the game (love playing it, hate watching it) so I've mostly avoided baseball stuff in the series. Exception being Shinada's stuff, because he's such a loveable dumbass I couldn't help but extract the most out of his content xD
Yea I guess I gotta delve further into the baseball and fishing then. I'd been putting those off.
Don't put the fishing off, it rocks! One of the best mini games in the game, just wish it was longer.
The bar in Hiroshima where you converse with the regulars. As you visit more you build up a relationship with the regulars and eventually you unlock side stories for each of them (which are really good). Along with fishing, its one of my favourite side bits in the game. The baseball in 6 is thankfully pretty close to Shinada's in 5, though you do sim most of the match as opposed to play it. You might lose a few matches to begin with, I just replay earlier matches to get more tickets to level my best players up and repeat things that way. Matches are quick anyway so it doesn't take long to level up your team to competence!
I may be getting a one eyed cat this Saturday. My girlfriend wants to rename him (I like his name, Zeke) Should I push for Goro if she is set on renaming him? I think that would be a pretty sick and fitting name
Hearing this gets me quite excited to play Y6! The ending in particular seems to be controversial, but the fact that you seemed to like it so much really makes me curious. I'm especially happy to see that people over here seem to be enjoying the game quite a bit, despite some somewhat concerning negative feelings when the game first came out.
I'm very slowly making my way through 6. Just reached chapter 5 and I'm still very much invested in the story and like it so far. Of course, the gameplay continues to be great as well. Unlocked some new side activities, having fun managing the local baseball team etc.
Wishing everyone who imports Hokuto ga Gotoku a great time. I'm very much looking forward to all the impressions!

I'm in one of the final chapters so I don't know how it concludes yet, but even still I can't see this not being my goty. It's been a tremendously positive experience the entire way through.
And yea, I had gone in relatively concerned since I'd heard some of the negative impressions you're talking about.
re-post from the import thread
Besides the classic "Omae wa mou, shindeiru." Kenshiro also says something like "Sandeiukokuto, kisama no wa shin". Is this like "You may not know, but you are dead." ? What does that mean?
Japanese is a hard language yo. I will link a vídeo with him saying (3:12:07 for the exact time):

I once saw the last boss of Yakuza 6 Japanese version on YouTube.
One of the comments said that the last boss is

Satoru Iwata of Nintendo.

Heh, no way. I have tons of respect for Iwata, and may he rest in peace. He'd have been an infinitely more appropriate choice than this jobber they had Kiryu fight in 6's ending (though to confirm the above image - that unfortunately is indeed the final boss for 6. Its just annoying that of all the amazing cast they have in 6, they choose this dickhead.)
Anyway, my copy of FOTNS is now on its way! Can't wait :)
Relationships between parent(s) and their child are the main theme of the game. I don't think the choice is that bad.
I'd like to help but all I can hear is whhhhhhh...atahhhhh. Is the time stamp correct?

I finished Y6. That ending...
Overall, I have to say that I really enjoyed Yakuza 6, and I'll save platinuming it until I get my physical copy. Hopefully Kiwami 2 gets a localization announcement soon, because even though I liked the new dragon engine, the gameplay definitely felt scaled back in 6, so I can't wait to see the improvements.
I almost fell for it this time, but when Akiyama questioned Date, I knew my man, Kiryu, was still alive! I'll gladly take this pseudo death as it was an emotional ending that brought closure, and at the same it leaves the doorway open for Kiryu to return. With that said, I'm ok with giving him a break and letting Ichiban do his thing for a while though. As for the story as a whole, I thought it was great all the way through. My biggest issue with 4 and 5 was how everything fizzled out by the end, but that definitely wasn't the case in 6. Instead everything just got better and better, and they even through a curve ball by having Kiryu fail his typical final battle building raid. Now I'm legitimately confused as to why the Japanese audience didn't like the story, because I'd easily put it up there with 0 and 2.

If I play Yakuza 6, will I spoil myself Kiwami 2? I only played 0 and Kiwami, and was looking forward to playing Kiwami 2 soon.
But now I found out how long Yakuza games usually take to localize in the west, so Kiwami 2 is probably 1+ year away. Now I'm thinking about getting 6 in the meantime once it releases in the west. Good idea? Bad idea? Should I wait for more Kiwamis?

not really
There's some nods to 2 here and there but the plot of 6 is like entirely compartmentalized. Going from K > 6 is fine. Everything you need to know for 6 is summed up for you in chapter 1 of 6. If anything I'd say some version of 1 is really the only thing absolutely required for this game.
I feel like nearly every game after Yakuza 5 is going to feel scaled back in terms of gameplay elements and that's not a bad thing at all. Yakuza 5 was doing too much, every chapter nearly felt like a standalone experience if it was any other game. So far Yakuza 6 has been really fun, it's cool being forced to do everything "blind" because there aren't any guides for it that I can read. I really hope that the save safely transfer over to the retail version so I can pick up the game and continue on. Either way, whether the save works or not, I'll be there day 1 to support Yakuza.
Content wise, I agree, because Y6 took me 50 hours to finish while it was 100 hours for Y5. As much as I enjoyed everything Y5 had to offer, it did feel overbearing at times, so I was happy with Y6's more focused approach.
My comment was referring more so about the actual combat though. The moveset in Y6 is pretty lacking compared to previous entries, specifically the small number of combos and heat moves, as well as how you can't carry weapons around. Don't get me wrong, it's still fun, but Y5's and Y0s combat was just so more fleshed out in comparison which is why I'm glad to hear that Kiwami 2 is improved in this area.
Ah, this I wholeheartedly agree. My move set feels extremely limited compared to what I was doing in 5. I wish there was more options given how much more relentless the enemies are in this on hard mode. I've bought a ton of heat moves that are only usable in maximum heat mode and I can't ever pull them off. It's frustrating. Other than that the game a joy to play and I'm sad I finally caught up and have nothing to play once I'm done with this until Kiwami 2 hits the states. The last 12 months have been amazing as I made my way though Yakuza 0 through 6(except for 2.)
This import stuff is frustrating, as it really splits the community in half, and the rest of us have to live in fear of spoilers for another 1-2 years. Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge anyone for importing, but I wish Sega would improve on their process so that western localizations would arrive faster.

I don't want to watch this video. I'm still in chapter 2.
Yeah, same here. I don't know how it is on normal, but on hard I was grabbing and throwing enemies at each other over and over again because of how they'd constantly surround you. I tried messing with other heat moves, but nothing stood out too much as it always boiled down to crowd control. The Tiger Drop also seems really dumbed down in this game, and it's unfortunate because it was the only technical move present too aside from maybe the reversal.
I went through the whole series since 0 came out too, and yeah it's weird not having a Yakuza to play, lol. I've been thinking of importing Ishin for a while, so maybe that's what I'll do next.
Man, Toshiki Kadomatsu should've been on the Yakuza 0 soundtrack. Surely it couldn't have cost that much to license some old albums like this? Those disco songs in Y0 were the only songs I felt really missed the mark in terms of hitting the period's sound.
I had no idea early '80s Japanese music was so funky.

Anyone here got the special edition of hgg w/the kiryu skin?
How do I apply it on?
You dont even know:

Yeah. All the bar friends have one too, and the spearfishing game has like two or three tied into it.
Nice, now I just need the game to freely let me travel between both areas. I'm in chapter 7 so I hope that becomes available soon.
That Yurie Kokubu track is a jam. Thanks for the heads up.
I'm aware of City Pop, but that's just kind of straightforward '80s pop with some rock elements. The Kadomatsu stuff I posted is heavily influenced by disco, funk, Michael Jackson, American R&B artists, and even early hip-hop.
