Wanna learn how to asset rip characters, textures and audio from Vermintide 2, too? I wrote down my workflow in this Steam guide (also includes a link to the audio file rip from 2023):

the picture change in the second scene got me cacklin'
I didn't expect that at all and I spat out my coffee lmao. Shit was funny af
ikr i was so fucking caught off guard by that
I was dead
RIGHT😭
On soul 💀
0:20 this photo will never not be funny.
I can really see the reanimatedness of kiryus face in that picture, for a still image he moves so animatedly and real it's making my face melt off from how real it is
I loved it when Kiryu said: "IT'S REANIMATING TIME!!!" and reanimated all over the place
The raised eyebrow on the goon in the second scene is a great touch, also that balengicia flashback 😂
The improvements on these scenes are fantastic. I can tell you've given a lot of thought on how the characters Express themselves through subtle movements. I cant wait to see if this can become a mod for kiwami. Also side note the picture change of kiryu and that random meme in the flash back was hilarious. Cant wait to see more!

Wait until you see the dude who's turning Yakuza 7 into a brawler
Never really noticed the facial animations on Kiwami were lacking till now. Splendid work Janfon! The long battle finale cutscene works in both ways oddly enough. The OG Kiwami Kiryu face makes for a real badass stoic approach, while yours gives it that human touch he starts to show in later games - more expressive and truly ready to fuck their shit up. I'm so proud to have been a subscriber since your early Vermintide animations, and while my love for Vermintide has since been dulled, my appreciation for your videos has not seen the same way.
Keep up the good work my man! and I hope for more Yakuza shit too alongside your Vermintide videos!
The fact that kiryu looks so naturally angry that when he smiles it looks cursd ASFF
The Last Scene you showed was PERFECT!
This was my biggest complaint about Kiwami (and Kiwami 2), that the cutscenes still using PS2 animations are just.. strange, especially coming off of 0, which had amazing cutscenes. I'd preferred the PS2 cutscenes, but this mod really changes that for me, amazing work!
Yeah, I think they ported the og animations onto the newer models but didn't do much to adjust some of the animations and facial expressions. Both Kiwamis were probably rushed in development and RGG just cut a bunch of corners. This might be a hot take to some but RGG should've scrapped some of the new content and focused on just making the original games better.
(Or better yet, just extend the damn deadline)
And PS2 animations are really noticeable not only because they're lacking some details and expressions but also, funnily enough, because they're way too expressive sometimes. Like you have a simpler model so you make it look "livelier" by exaggerating some of the movements which looks imo extremely jarring when used on more complex models.
0:39 I got major clutch cargo vibes from this
This is incredible. My main gripe about the Kiwami remakes is that half of if not most of the facial animations are just very static and don't show much emotion compared to the originals. This mod is not only going to make it like that but even better.
To be fair, you can't just copy paste animations from a ps2 game and expect it to work flawlessly on better models.
Some animation data will be lost and kiwami team were on a short amount of time. And even if all animations did work, aint no way it'll look great on higher quality models
you're pretty good at showing micro emotions in little facial movements

Maybe for the final scene have Kiryu slowly building up his stance? Although imo the classic pose works for nostalgia as if he is semi taunting/challenging them. One thing if possible I would suggest a change for is maybe some walking animations
although on that note having Haruka move during the scene is great attention to detail
Very cool! I see how much did you put in this mod, good work!
This is really amazing work and if you somehow managed this treatment with all the non New-Nishiki scenes I have to imagine this would be a must download mod for any K1 playthrough.
Being a family patriarch of a family can be a difficult task, however thanks to Balenciaga I look fashionable all the time.
I feel like both final scenes work and I honestly can't decide which works best. The remake, with Kiryu getting into a fighting stance, shows a more realistic, active reaction to the situation at hand. The original, where Kiryu hardly moves conveys his strength and that this army of guys is so insignificant to him he doesn't even need to ready himself.
Im so looking forward to this holy shit this is amazing!!
It's looking great! I've been tracking this so I can play with this mod once I'm ready to replay K1 on Legend 😎
this is so good!! I'd love to play Kiwami again if this gets released

Update #1 - changed cutscenes are as follows:
Chapter 1 Cutscene 2 (update 1.1)
Chapter 3 Cutscene 4 (update 1.1)
Chapter 4 Cutscene 5 (viewable in the proof of concept vid)
Chapter 4 Cutscene 8 (viewable in the proof of concept vid)
Chapter 13 Cutscene 1 (partial, only the last scene; update 1.1)
Was holding off on posting this until I got the update itself sorted out. Hopefully this time it won't get auto-quarantined as I took some precatuions. Download link in the description. Enjoy!
dude you're a king, you're a legend
I cant wait to see more of this stuff
Looks fantastic man!
That's rad!
My only nitpick, and i can't really point it out, but Kiryu's pose at the end felt kinda off to me for some reason. IDK.
I agree with you, it already took ten tries to get it to look right and it's still a bit iffy lol. I think it's the knees, I wanted him to crouch down into his combat pose but it looks odd
Fist is rotated too much I believe. Other than that looks fine
Specifically looks like it's pointed upwards with the front of the fist facing forwards
It's a nice change but I'm used to the original "If you wanna die, step up!"
@@Janfon1 Maybe re-mocapping it should help?
0:20 this one killed me
LOOOL
amazing work man
Bro I wish I had this mod for when I first played this game. Really good shit.
youre doing gods work
Yakuza Kiwami. These men are so extreme, that their facial muscles completely died off
The humour in this is on point. Makes it exciting to watch your progress, and just an entertaining video in general.
For some feedback, keep Kiryu's mouth closed in the last scene. It makes him look more stern & dignified. Keeping it open makes Kiryu look less composed.
Amazing. Though my only crit would be that leaving the mouth hang seems out of char for him. Sure he needs more expression but he is still serious and stoic.
the part at kakatte koi reanimated is A truly way to show that kiryu is about to ready for fight those mob
holy shit these look so nice lol, the game would look so much more realistic with these kinds of animations holy shit, nice work!!
I will be exitingly be waiting for this mod to release. So I can experience kiwami with very lively expression! No pressure though
Wondering if you are going to ever continue this project, it's honestly amazing. But I can understand not wanting to!
this looks sick dude
id replay kiwami with this
also shoutout to the. lil pic of kiryu in the reanimated. i just about lost it at that
THIS FUCKING ROCKS . never seen somthing like this great fucking work dude
I like the actual emotion of the rage that Kiryu's going through. It shows more of him. Good.
That last one looked dope, good job mang
Thanks! I will be already making some changes to it - rotating the hand so it's not as front facing and maybe adjusting the mouth a little
@@Janfon1 the snarl looked good enough by my judgment but it could always be made better yeah
Hehe "Judgement"
This is crazy good
Still unsure if it's a genuine article or an elaborate shipost (well, series of shitposts).
Either way, looks great. Characters definitely got a lot more animated.
How bout you animate a father into my life
It continues
The picture change got me 😭
I would PAY A FULL GAME PRICE for a mod that would include all of your memes throughout the whole game 😂
Love it
Engine graphics still going strong to this day
Do you have a patreon or kofi or whatever where I could support you? I seriously need this project in my life
"I used the 10 billion to buy Balenciaga."
Are you still working on this project? It looks great, I would love to use a mod like this
Third one is perfect
That photo..
The reanimated that make kiyru is more ready to fight all of that bastards😎😎😎
I want to get used to seeing this more, but I’ve just come so conditioned to seeing kiryu be completely emotionless most of the time, but i could get used to this
1:17
I think this change is unnecessary
That scene with Majima’s intro could use some work (when he’s beating that guy with the umbrella).
Yo, if you have the dragon style animation files, could you please lmk because im struggling on the workflow rn. And also the model for kiryu + textures
You'll have better chances in the Yakuza modding server. discord.gg/rb7J9Dvu Keep in mind they use a bot to detect alt accounts, which means you have to show it the Steam account.
@@Janfon1 thanks dawg
so, is the project dead?
The photo lmao
This is so good, how is the development going? Keep up the good work.
I have done nothing for this project since the release of this video, simply went on to do other things. I was in touch with two volunteers, but they didn't write to me in a long while
I really wish someone would do this for Kiwami 2 too. Many cutscenes have the exact same issues.
I'd say Kiwami 2 is even worse, at least when it comes to the lip sync. It's more noticeably off in that game compared to Kiwami 1.
even compared to some yakuza 3 cutscenes it falls short
when he gets in his dragon of dojima fighting pose, his arm (elbow) flaps like a chicken wing in the last scene unlike all the other scenes, needs some polishing imo but overall good work 👍
coded so good that he even hacked into the rgg studios archive to get the pre-rendered cutscene files
When "My dad works at RGG Studio" is real
Wasn't this cutscene pre-rendered only on the original PS2?
would you ever make one for kiwami 2?
yes yes yes!!!
Fucking lmao the balenciaga flashback
1:04
where'd you find this video
The picture man... I'm dying.. I was like "Hold on what was that? *goes back 5 seconds and looks at image* DTGHNJDGHNBSFH" dumbest but best thing ever done
Me: short giggle, likes the idea, keeps it as a small easter egg
Audience: puking their lungs out laughing
@@Janfon1 WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ONLY HAD A SHORT GIGGLE?!? THAT IS THE BEST IMAGE OF KIRYU IN HISTORY!
0:20 sega explain us
Love the subtle changes, can't be easy working with a game in another language
the ending made me a loser (remastered 2022)
its such a good song
Man I wish I could do facial animation too so I could maybe contribute, I just started learning Blender
Keep practising! Your results will get better over time, you just need to acknowledge criticism and always find something to improve. In my case it was odd posing, odd pacing, fixing texture issues etc, one by one I reached one milestone after another. It's going to be an endurance run, good luck on your journey!
how did you mod the animations?
Man I love watching videos of people reanimating facial expressions for Kiwami 1. They all look so... Emotionless it's jarring? Og yakuza 1 had no such issues.
Ten billion in balenciaga wtf
I think this video is a good idea but at certain turns reminded me of the facial animations from like a PS1 tekken when the guy drops his dad off the cliff. They definitely could have done better with the facial tech of today though
Keep on doing it! The original cutscenes look low budget in comparison
It’s crazy how much better it looks
1:04 where can i find this
omg, kiwami but good
Big improvment!!!!!!
I like how its a bit more cartoony sometimes
Nice work. Do you mind some critique? In my opinion, the last scene looks unnatural. His fist looks weird.
I agree, it should be twisted more towards his face and not to the outside. If I ever return to this it'd be one of the first tweaks I make
1:04 does anyone know the song used in the promo?
Receive You Reborn
@@SF_Foundation thanks
i wanna know the background music at the end of the video
Yakuza 3 Loser, a.k.a. the Japanese intro for the game
@@Janfon1 thanks
@@Janfon1 thanks
So, what happened with this mod?
Finally Kiwami 1 isn't shit
I used the ten billion to buy Balenciaga 💀
coding is so wide spread now that modders can do what only was possible by development staff
Wonder how's it goinf
Truth be told the idea got abandoned, I was working on it when my interest in the series was at an all time peak and I wanted to try out sth with modding cutscene animation. No one else seemed to have tried that before in the community and my work got the most traction. Since then I haven't touched it once :/ sorry
Doesn't help that I just don't like Kiwami lol so yeah. I may return to this one day, people are free to contribute to this as well, all up in the air by now
@@Janfon1thanks for the work regardless. At least you cared more than sega did. Yakuza restored is at least a good alternative. Kiwami games are strange.
@@Janfon1 many such cases
Really kiwami needed to be re animated? great job but I loved kiwami 1's overall body language and facial animations was the best out of the games I played(0, kiwami, kiwami 2, 3)
your edits are amazing, last one is one of the few that i felt lacking (the original not yours)
REaL
You're making a Ramen noodle budget mediocre remake look less & less like a Ramen noodle budget mediocre remake.
I think it's funny (and kinda sad) that a remake of a PS2 game, released 11 years later has lower quality animations, despite all of them being ported straight from the original with minor tweaks, so they work with newer models. Especially the facial animations are really weak in Kiwami. I don't really like this game, but I 100% respect the work you put into this. One of the most important parts of storytelling is how you show it and your tweaks really sell the scenes better. I hope you have a nice day :))
Have a reanimated mod
>Kiryu Smiling as replacement photo Low QUALITY
Not gonna lie, Kinda ruins the scenes when Kiryu shows so much emotion.
