Oh yeah kiwami boutta be gas, the rollercoaster of emotions only gon get wilder from here, better prepare yourself, make sure ur ready. Maybe even take a lil break.
Congratulations on finishing the game, especially considering how underleveled and ill equipped you were! Those guns and blades will easily tear you into shreds during the endgame, so it was definitely no easy feat. I really enjoyed your playthrough and I'm definitely looking forward to the future!
btw the part with the character loredumps at the end was meant for people that played the series up until yakuza 0 came out which confused a whole bunch of people starting with 0
One of those details I love about this game is Shimano screaming out "狂犬みてぇな顔してるぜ" (kyouken miteena kao stieru ze) "your face is like one of a dog gone mad" (around 3:25) which refers to his later nickname "島野の狂犬" (shimano no kyouken), the mad dog of Shimano. These kinds of callbacks are all over the palce and make this game the masterpiece it is
If I remember right the watch was set so the pronunciation of the time would be “goro” (somewhere along the lines of that” and it makes everything so much worse😭
I've always loved the music that plays when Kiryu and Nishiki storm the boat - sounds like it's straight out of Tekken. Just another reason why for years Yakuza fans have wanted Kiryu in Tekken. Maybe one day...
i would suggest going into kiwami 1 with some expectations. since its a remake of the first game, theres only one city to run around in, the story isnt quite as grand in scale and confidence as 0, a game that came out 10 years later. not as much side content if you're into that part of the game. despite that though theres a big jump in quality of life and content additions over the original and i think you'll still find its a classic for a reason. the technology jump from kiwami 1 to kiwami 2 will be shocking as well. looking forward to it whenever you decide its kiwami time. loved catching the finale live
What an intense ride it was. Yakuza 0 is outstanding and still one of the best games I have ever played. Now you’re on for an intense and emotional journey through the franchise. When you’ll get to Kiwami 3, make sure to play the Majima saga mode 😉💪🏻
When you get the chance, I would recommend playing the Judgement games, also made by RGG but the main character is different.......but it takes place in the same "universe" as the Yakuza games, even same cities, roughly same time. In Judgement, Yagami is the main character. A former lawyer, but now detective. It's a "who done it?"(murder) and the main villian is a mystery, but very un-nerving when he/she is revealed. Also, in Yakuza 8(or Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth) that there was a reference to characters in the Judgement series. Even in the Kaito files (a DLC for the Judgement games)....Kiryu meets Kaito(a guy from Judgement).
@ReefPlaysGames you can play it at any time. It doesn't interfer or spoil anything in the Yakuza series. Judgement is the first game. Lost Judgement is the sequel. LJ has DLC called the Kaito files.....if you play the Kaito files then there's a small story where Kaito briefly interacts with Kiryu but it's not a main story thing.
Congrats dude, i ain't gl, when i beated yakuza 0 (the only game i played besides the start of Kiwami) i was like: "CMON, BRING IT SHIBUSAWA, BRING IT I AM THE GODDAM KAZUMA KIRYU MOST STUPID USER"

Ten YEARS...
In the JOINT
Made you
a freakin....
Not even gonna lie I teared up during that end scene
Yeah that was crazy, I didn’t even notice he pocketed the watch after their discussion about it. This game really had some great storytelling.

1:46:27 The start of a beautiful rivalry/friendship/bromance all rolled into one.

still waiting to get to kiwami 3 myself...
Kiwami 2 sorryyyyy lollll
Lollll sorry I meant Kiwami 2.
But yeah I’d love RGG releasing a Kiwami 3

Thanks for this! Is there a specific time I should play it, or can I play the judgment games at any time?

Subscribed and waiting for your Kiwami journey
Probably a big thing to ask but im hoping you'll keep enjoying these games and play through them all
Congrats dude, i ain't gl, when i beated yakuza 0 (the only game i played besides the start of Kiwami) i was like: "CMON, BRING IT SHIBUSAWA, BRING IT I AM THE GODDAM KAZUMA KIRYU MOST STUPID USER"
Good luck on yakuza 1! Im sure the TEN YEARS wont mess you up!!
I've always preferred Rush style or any style that prioritized speed and being hard to tag. The strength difference between styles is not that big.
What's the next game gango
