I couldn't help but to try it out just a little while ago myself, and man, even just the first few minutes is one of the best openings in the series. From the first cutscene, all the way to meeting Nishiki, it's all aces.

Also, seeing the opening credits... holy shit, how did it pass me by that Tetsuya Watari, the freakin' Tokyo Drifter himself, is in this game?
People make a big deal about how Takeshi Kitano is gonna be in Yakuza 6, but to me personally, I think it's an even bigger deal that Tetsuya Watari and Riki Takeuchi -- a friggin' double shot of legendary yakuza actors -- are both in this.
Reminds me, I still need to go finish watching the Outlaw: Gangster VIP series sometime soon. Lotsa stabbing and manly tears.

I know! Yakuza series is basically a who's who in the Japanese gangster movie genre nowadays featuring all of the legends from the Yakuza films over the years. Watari was actually the actor playing Fuma/Kazama since the PS2 era just now they've actually featured his likeness planted over Fuma/Kazama.
I'll spoil these just in case you didn't know or want to get spoiled over it:
After getting into Chapter 2, this is very much more in the style of Yakuza of old, more of an actual crime thriller or Yakuza film style of old rather than "oh I guess I will have to do one last job" (an outsider looking in) which is honestly refreshing after Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 all featured Kazuma being roped back in to the lifestyle, here he's right in the dead centre of it all and in a right mess. Definitely gives me vibes of the Yakuza 1 and 2 style, which I've greatly missed from the series.

edit: scratch that I actually finished Yakuza 2 back in the day. But not 1. Or 3 or 4 or Kenzan and Ishin even though ive owned and played all of them.OL wrote:^^I think they had some of Fukuoka in Yakuza 5 actually, though I'm sure it's only a representation of a tiny little part (probably not the scale you'd be hoping for).

Oh wow really? Now I have to check it out eventually.
