      Wasn't this game released a year before yakuza 0 though? He's already done all of the voice acting and mocap work needed.

    • @GrunglerFL
      @GrunglerFL Год назад +16

      @@sauceinmyface9302 because the original Ishin came out before 0, it used actors from Yakuzas 1-5. people like Takeuchi, Ozawa, etc. first came onto the series with 0. a large chunk of the characters in this version of the game are having different actors portray them; for instance, Kanryusai was originally portrayed by Shun Sugata, who played Hayashi prior in the series, but now he's been replaced by Takeuchi's voice and likeness. hope that clears it up.

    I remember first trying to get into yakuza and I just couldn’t get the hype. Then after trying for hours years later the gameplay loop finally hit me harder than the dragon of dojima lol. What an amazing franchise. I’ve beat yakuza LAD, 0,k1,k2 and just beat 3. I still have 4,5,6 and the 2 judgement games after. Each game has bought me 100+ hours of gameplay especially when chasing achievements.
