Thanks for posting this :) I forgot about that boss fight, love the intro. So glad they used Akiyama in this, he's always so a badass when he's on screen. Makes me hyped to replay this when I get hold of an English copy next month :)
I'm still relatively early into Kiwami (around 11-12 hours, Chapter 7) and I'm having no issues with the Majima Everywhere system. He's been showing up every now and then, but nothing really annoying, I really enjoy the system.
At the time of the release of Yakuza 3, i remember that some didn't like the orphanage section, although i didnt a problem with it. On another note, i recently started playing Yakuza Kiwami.I'm halfway through the game (main story and substories), and i really like what i've played so far.It brings back memories of playing the original game back in 2006.Very interesting read, thanks! Yakuza 3 is one of my favorites because of the orphanage stuff. I think that it added a lot of depth to Kiryu as a character. And also because it rang true with stuff I've been told about growing up in an orphanage.
That being said, I finished my first Yakuza 6 play through today. It took me more than 50 hours (I did all the substories, all the Clan Creator missions and Clan Creator-related Trophies, all the baseball games, and a lot of elements from the completion list). I have 88% of the Trophies, I'm just missing the Legend difficulty Trophy and the "Peak Kiryu" Trophy (get him to Level 300). It took me a lot less time to get this far than in previous episodes.
Wow. High praise indeed :) Really need to get a few more games off my backlog so I can dive right in. I have a feeling my opinion will be the same as yours (at this stage its either Hokuto or MHW as my GOTY unless Spidey is a Barman Arkham level of quality).
Played the first couple chapters of Ishin.
Wow, this game is very impressive so far.
Yeah
Yeah
If it's not K2 then I'd be kinda shocked. I mean maybe they announce Yakuza Online too, but yeah K2 is defo coming it's just a question of when.
What if we get something entirely new, that'd be freaking amazing.Yeah it's gotta be either K2 or (less likely but still not far fetched IMO) Hokuto.
Or maybe they'll announce they got their degrees in japanese shogunate history at long last.
You already lost your shit m9(・Д・)
I'm on the final chapter of Yakuza 0. I really don't want to finish it because I have been having such a great time.

Just got Yakuza 6's Platinum Trophy. Clearly the series' easier Platinum to get. Took me 58 hours total. No Trophy was frustrating to get and I enjoyed the experience from beginning to end.
Pro tip: make sure that Kiryu's stats are almost maxed out before you start your Legend run. That way, it'll be a walk in the park, even without the Golden Gun (which isn't in the game).
I didn't even think about trying that. But since I still needed to max out Kiryu's stats, my Legend run allowed me to do that without having to grind in Premium Adventure.Alternatively if you kept a save file from your first run from just before the final boss, you can then reload said save after completing the game and just change the difficulty up and beat the boss again. This worked perfectly on the Japanese version, I assume they've not changed it for the English release?
But yeah, I agree - it is the easiest plat in the series but in a fun way. The challenge list being basically optional this time (you'll hit 100 challenges completed just by doing the rest of the trophies easy) takes much of the difficulty and length out of the trophy run, while still having tons of optional stuff for people like me who really enjoy aiming for 100% of in game stuff done!
Playing Yakuza Kiwami at the moment and I just
rescued Haruka from the Chinese triad
How many hours do I have left till the end story-wise? I'd like to wrap it up before Ni no Kuni!
That's around chapter 10 I think. You've got around 5 chapters left, several of which have some pretty big fights (and a couple of long exposition cutscenes). If you solely focused on the story you could probably be done with it in 5-6 hours I think. If your doing side stuff/Majima stuff, way longer obviously!

They're the dudes walking around in really shiny gold jackets. They don't try to pick a fight with you unless you bump into them.Anyone have tips on finding Nouveau Riche in Yakuza 0? I bought the thing fom the Temple that makes them appear and am wearing celebrity perfume. I have not seen one of these guys and im almost at the end of the game.

They just walk around randomly, I don't think there are particular spots where they hang out more. Just have to wander I guess.
