Fun fact: Because of the way the Japanese enunciate, all four renditions of the theme are pronounced the same way, making the names for every remix of For Faith some form of wordplay. The Japanese fuckin' _love_ wordplay.
Nah, no trick to it; they pronounce both "faith" and "face" very similarly to how we pronounce "face", because there's no "th" sound in their language, so it comes out similarly to an "s" sound, and because the tracks' names are in English, they wouldn't use their word for "four" either, so "for" and "four" would be pronounced the same as each other, too. The whole thing is undoubtedly intentional because of how well it all comes together. The Japanese are remarkably, subtly clever with this kind of thing.
I never expected the FINAL final boss to be played as Tanimura, but honestly it was fitting. And he was my favorite part of the game honestly, I'd love for him to return one day.
These badasses are gods! No, literally, each are based on one of the Four Gods of China: Kiryu - Seiryū (The Azure Dragon, representing Spring and Wood) Akiyama - Suzaku (The Vermillion Bird, representing Summer and Fire) Saejima - Byakko (The White Tiger, representing Autumn and Metal) Tanimura - Genbu (The Black Turtle, representing Winter and Water)
Tanimura's perfect for being the Black Tortoise due to his defensive style involving counters and calculated strikes. The part where he does submission holds really symbolizes the Snake part of the Black Tortoise. His jacket is like symbolism for his "shell"
+Swordswoman I went into this fight super unprepared, only had a couple Staminan XXs. I didn't think Tanimura's final boss was going to be that... fuck. It's cool to take on a bunch of police officers and the deputy commissioner, but not while one is shooting at you and the rest have weapons to keep you stunlocked if you try anything.
@@anatoliasmercenary. No it isn't. No discernible melody and the instrumentals sound too raucous. I prefer this game's by a wide margin. Battle for the dream isn't even a top 10 soundtrack in its own game
This mix is beautiful. This really fits if used for a final boss fight with 3 phases with Kiryu vs Daigo theme being the final cutscenes of the main character slaying the boss once and for all.
Four Face (0:00) Defeat Arai! "Bring it on!" Four Faith (3:51) Defeat Kido! "This is merely a test, kid." For Face (9:04) Take Daigo to school! "How can you hope to lead the clan?” For Faith (Instruments) (6:08) Settle the score with Munakata and his men! "Time you’ve answered for your crimes!"
I fucking love the epic finale! All four of them wearing suits and marching towards Millenium Tower ready to kick some ass! The very definition of BADASS!
0:00 "Let's go." "Bring it! AKIYAMAAAA!" --- 3:50 "Now's my time." "Yeah? Then I'll be the one to test ya!" --- 9:04 "The Tojo Clan is a heavy burden to bear. I'll show you just how heavy." "Get ready, Kiryu!" --- 6:07 "Now... how about I refresh your memory on how things work in the streets of Kamurocho?" "Wh-What are you waiting for!? Kill him!" "Your ambitions end here. You're mine!"
Ferdinand Andre I agree. Then again, the last boss from Tanimura is the most annoying boss, mostly because he keeps shooting at you. ._. So i don't really mind him being the last, but still, the order was almost correct though. xD
Luffy Senpai it kinda makes sense why Tanimura was last because Yakuza 4’s story was not about Kiryu and it’s most likely not his story on this game it’s mostly about the cops being corrupt on power and the mystery behind Tanimura’s Father and how it connects to the murders of 18 men.
TheCheesenator42 Thank you for letting me know of this amazing feature :D I want to play Yakuza 0 so badly, hopefully Sony will help localizing it just like Yakuza 5.
I’ve been playing the remastered version and just WOW. I can’t believe I missed out on the Yakuza series all these years. I’m on 5 now and can’t wait to play Song of Life afterwards. The story in each Yakuza game just gets you emotionally and it’s such a wild ride.
One of the coolest soundtracks in gaming. Good music to listen to during a round of spirited driving or something else where you need to remain clear-headed and grounded but still stay pumped up. My other favorite game soundtracks are many tracks from Final Fantasy 7 too numerous to list, a few from FFX like 'People of the North' and 'Wandering Flame'. Japanese games oftentimes commission the work of composers whose music, brings out genuine emotion and feeling even though it's 'just for a game'. Some soundtracks from Western games is good too. Some songs from the Crysis series are surprisingly good like too, like 'What are you Prepared to Sacrifice?' from Crysis 2.
Even if the fight against Munakata kinda sucks... The music is phenominal. It hypes up how this is the end of a multi-game arc, with Munakata's influence going back ti YAKUZA 1. And you're finally taking on the man who inevitably led to Jingu's plan, the man who's actions inadvertently led to Nishiki dying, and the man who caused so much trouble for the Tojo Clan. And you fight him as Tanimura, the antithesis by the books lawman who will do what's good, compared to Munakata's corrupt cop who will do whatever it takes to get his way, even if many die.
TheCheesenator42 He's too lazy really, he'smore the shadow behind the leader. Giving money and favors behind the scenes to manipulate things in a better direction. Akiyama wouldn't do well in a stressful position. He'dcrack the same way Daigo cracked.
Yakuza 4‘s Ending really felt different to the other games. it feels like you‘re picking a conspiracy apart at every possible level, which kiryuu hasn‘t really been able to do alone.
Just finished the story mode. HOLY SHIT. Not many games anymore in which you can play the story mode for almost 100 hours and not even complete 50% of the game. And it's so rewarding cause the characters are so memorable. A work of genius.
I assumed that too but Kiryu's is the last section in this mix. Tanimura vs Munakata is the third section, it also plays in the intro movie. I guess it's in the wrong order because the chill piano Daigo thing works better as an ending!
I get Yakuza 4 has it's issues, but I think it's still a fantastic game. But this entire end boss gauntlet sequence is like, all of the best ingredients of Yakuza's hype moments combined. I know people hate the final boss rush of this game, but it's actually one of my favorites in the series and getting proficient at Tanimura and flowing through all these dirty cops and beating the fuck out of them was really satisfying.
The only thing i dislike about this fight is how retarded the plan was, like if any of the antagonists decided to peace out they could've. But with a lot in Yakuza the dumb and silly cannot ruin the emotional and fantastic moments. I love this fight.
I mean Yakuza 4 is lowkey one of my favorites. I think it has the best pacing in the series personally. But I also adore all of the games for their own reasons. Especially Dead Souls.
I love every Yakuza game. Thankful and privileged that in my lifetime, I got to play all of them. Looking forward to The Man Who Erased His Name and Like A Dragon 8.
@@TRDEWH its also underrated to have a thing where a game has a movie built into it to explain what happened in the prior games because of how deep and intricate relationships can get at points. Like at best usually games may offer something to explain what happened in a prior game, especially if the prior wasn't received well. When I saw 4 (as it was the game I was introduced to) and that movie I knew it was like okay, I need to go back and play these others.
you see this!? this game seris right here?! THIS is how you make a story with good character development! may yakuza's legacy continue for a long time!
I couldn't possibly figure out why but tanimura was my favourite. If I had to guess it was his unique fighting style. It was full of by-the-book ju-jitsu moves with a dash of goofy and effective. Playing as him for the final boss, even though said boss sucked, was a whole load of fun
i started with yakuza 3. now playing yakuza 4 and i'm almost at the end. fucking love this series! if heard rumors though that yakuza 5 ain't gonna be released outside japan. that would be my worst nightmare.
00:01 Suzaku of the Shippu (Akanami) 03: 51 The White Tiger of Shigeaki (Shiwa) 06: 07 Genbu of the Iron Wall (Green North) 09: 04 Legendary Blue Dragon (Blue Eastern) ...... Potential possibility of succeeding If you can suitably compare the four highs with the four large primary colors and the four sacred beasts that protect the east and west north and south, it is like this
You could be right since all four characters are symbolized as the four Chinese/Japanese Sacred Beasts, Kiryu being the Azure Dragon (Well Rounded in all areas), Saejima being the White Tiger (Greatest Strength), Akiyama being the Vermilion Bird (Greatest Speed), and Tanimura being the Black Tortoise (Greatest Defense). All I can say is though they all kick a whole lot of ass.
Not at all. In fact the devs did it designed these characters with them in mind. Kiryu - Dragon tattoo, strongest and wisest, the dragon is represented by the element "Wood" in fengshui (fitting that theres a "木" in his name.), the most potent symbol of protection. His heat color is blue (I know... everyone's heat is blue, but Kiryu started it.). The dragon is also a symbol of emperors (leader of the group). Akiyama - "Sky" Finance, his bird-based nickname in the coliseum, red jacket, high flying kicking style, an icon of success, respect, rebirth and endless possibilities (reflecting the nature behind his money lending business). Among the its Seven Mansions (Chinese constellations basically) is "Star" (Akiyama's theme "Speed Star"), "Maids In Waiting" (Hana and the Cabaret) and "Celestial Wolf" (for some reason, Wolf is part of his SSR title in Yakuza Online). Saejima - His name, tiger tattoo, Kiryu's equal, represented by the element "Metal" and regarded as a God of War (kinda in line with the unique ability to use Extra Heavy objects as weapons), symbolism varies but the common theme is "Power" and "Strength", his camo-patterned pants reflecting a tigers natural habitat. The Tiger's associated direction is "West" matching Saejima's Kansai origins. Tanimura - His thick coat, symbolizes long life, stability and support (reflecting him supporting the immigrant orphans), is known as a "Black Warrior" in East Asian Mythology which could be reflecting his "black"mailing of brothels. The black turtle shares the same name as the taoist god "Xuanwu" and revered by martial artists (Tanimura being the only guy with a martial arts background). Xuanwu is also worshipped in Thailand (Tanimura's half nationality). I could be stretching it with some of them but the similarities are there nonetheless.
@@lackusshock the dragon in his back is more like the "unbettable dragon god" than a strong and wise person, he has a strong sense of justice but i wouldn't say he's wise
I finished Yakuza 3 in 45 hours with almost everything complete, now I recently started Yakuza 4 and loving it to death, my question is, is it a longer game then part 3 was? I really hope it'l last me at least 60-100hrs. Now Yakuza 5 is coming out, March hopefully, CAN"T WAIT! :D
You've probably played it since it's been six fuckin years but my good god Yakuza 5 is a long game. My play through clocked in at like 160 hours, and that's without finishing all of the side content.
I finished all games with story, side stories, and substories completed: 3 with almost 60 hours, 4 with a little more than 40 (I didn't do Kiryu or Saejima's side story), and 5 with a bit more than 70. In comparison, 0 took me 100 hours (although I also did weapon upgrades and it was my first game so it took me longer to get a hang of it).
Two thumbs up, this game is amazingly environmental and has a soul. Something video games have been missing for many years :( Yakuza 3 is great as well, but 4 is just an improvement in all ways, especially combat
Woah i posted this 11 years ago, since then I've played yakuza 6, yakuza zero, kiwami 2, and got half my body tattooed with japanese style tattoos. Time flys!
I feel like the Yakuza 4 protagonists could all be mapped to different bending styles. Akiyama gets Air, Saejima gets Earth, Tanimura gets Water, and Kiryu's the Avatar, a native Firebender.
I think they are already based on different 4 legendary Gods. Akiyama as Vermilion Bird, Tanimura as Black Turtle, Saejima as White Tiger and Kiryu... simply as *Dragon*. Also, Ryuji Goda is the Yellow Dragon of the Center and how Kiryu able to beat them all, make a name for himself and rising to the top as A Legendary Dragon, proved that just by staying true to yourself, you can overcome any obstacles and that what it's *Like* to be *A Dragon*. Kiryu is just AWESOME (:
If we go by their godly counterparts: Akiyama would get fire; Tanimura would get earth; Saejima would get water; Kiryu would get air All things considered, it's better off to have these guys together rather than an all-controlling Avatar, they're much more dangerous as well
I’ve been listening to this song for about a year because it’s amazing, I started playing the Yakuza series when Yakuza 0 was added to xbox gamepass, i wasn’t expecting anything much but Yakuza 0 is one of my favorite games ever! After that I played Kiwami, Kiwami 2 and Like a Dragon and loved them also, then I was kinda sad because I couldn’t play the rest and would have to wait a while until i got a playstation. But thank goodness they ported the rest of the games to Xbox and PC! I loved 3, Mine and Fly, and the rest of the soundtrack/game was awesome. Over the last couple of days I’ve been playing tons of 4 and I’ve gotten to the finale, I’ve loved my journey with these 4 characters and can’t wait to play the finale and finally listen to this song while playing the finale and listening to it the way it was meant to be listened! I’m so excited, I’ve loved this song for like a year and soon I’ll actually be able to experience it like it’s meant to be! Let’s go!!!
Kiryu - Matt McMuscles. Akiyama - Angriest Pat Saejima - Woolie (especially with the green garb) Tanimura - Liam We didn't know what we really had until you guys were gone. Thanks for everything, Super Best Friends. I hope you guys find friendship again.
I played 0 when it came to Game Pass as a way to dip into the series, expecting it to kill a few minutes. I ended up getting hooked on the story and characters. Just finished 4 last night. I can't get enough.
The chorus is freaking epic! Its the part where piano comes in! OMFG. I was also sad at first that i had to play as other characters because no way they hold a candle to the dragon of dojima but the storyline was epic great it really absorb you into the characters even though its true no one can kick kiryu. LvL6 Kiryuu had to face off against tanimuralvl11 and kiryama lvl 14.( I really went out and explore with them) and still won easy. Didnt even visit komaki for the damage powerups.
Thai Corralo Vigo Nah, not yet. It's a guide a dude made that translates everything in the game to English. It's not a localization, but it will at least tell you what the hell you're doing. KHHSubs also translated all the cutscenes, but Sega pulls them off UA-cam. They're on Dailymotion, I think.
Sega does that !?!? I'm speechless . Dont they have enough denying us the chance of playing it, they even take away the vids ?? So I download that guide on paper and read along the playthrough ? Well not confortable but at least I'll be able to play it. Thanks 4 the info mate !! PS: Have you tried it already ? Is it as good as it seems ?
It's web pages, but I'm pretty sure you could make a PDF of it, if there isn't already. The cutscene guy has a channel on UA-cam: CaptainEpic3. He did a full guide for Ishin/Restoration, but no cutscenes yet. He did everything for Kenzan, though. Check those out! I have Y5, but haven't played it yet. Working on Ishin, which is itself tremendously fun. There's even "Battle Dungeon Mode," which is basically just "fight through a bunch of chumps in a procedurally generated dungeon, collect rare upgrade materials, then fight the mini-boss." I love that mode to death.
I can imagine Kiryu sitting at his Yakuza headquarters thinking. "Haruka hasn't called in a while... Should I check on her? Nah, what could POSSIBLY happen? I should probably read this taped together ransom note I just got... But I ALSO really want some bbq beef... hmm... I'll read it later."

+MiaowGaiGar Oh, something like Forfeit-ForFaith-FourFaces-FourFates ? You got my curiosity running now.
Nah, no trick to it; they pronounce both "faith" and "face" very similarly to how we pronounce "face", because there's no "th" sound in their language, so it comes out similarly to an "s" sound, and because the tracks' names are in English, they wouldn't use their word for "four" either, so "for" and "four" would be pronounced the same as each other, too.
The whole thing is undoubtedly intentional because of how well it all comes together. The Japanese are remarkably, subtly clever with this kind of thing.

And you fight him as Tanimura, the antithesis by the books lawman who will do what's good, compared to Munakata's corrupt cop who will do whatever it takes to get his way, even if many die.

I mean Yakuza 4 is lowkey one of my favorites. I think it has the best pacing in the series personally. But I also adore all of the games for their own reasons. Especially Dead Souls.
I love every Yakuza game. Thankful and privileged that in my lifetime, I got to play all of them. Looking forward to The Man Who Erased His Name and Like A Dragon 8.
@@TRDEWH its also underrated to have a thing where a game has a movie built into it to explain what happened in the prior games because of how deep and intricate relationships can get at points. Like at best usually games may offer something to explain what happened in a prior game, especially if the prior wasn't received well. When I saw 4 (as it was the game I was introduced to) and that movie I knew it was like okay, I need to go back and play these others.
Fun Fact: The Chief fighting with 20 men on his side against one Tanimura is a nod to the fact that the police dont understand the concept of honor

YAKUZA KIWAMI HYPE
That sad version of "fly" fighting daigo is amazing
kiryu kazuma is a badass !

you see this!? this game seris right here?! THIS is how you make a story with good character development! may yakuza's legacy continue for a long time!
Yes, indeed.
@@runecrush376 LOL. Might have over exaggerated a bit, but still Yakuza is awesome!
@@spellgalen808 i agree, yakuza will be one of my favorite franchises ever..
@@spellgalen808 Wow 10 years. Do you love it even more than back then?
@@sheevpalps3846 Yes. I apriciate it even more as i grow older
I couldn't possibly figure out why but tanimura was my favourite. If I had to guess it was his unique fighting style. It was full of by-the-book ju-jitsu moves with a dash of goofy and effective. Playing as him for the final boss, even though said boss sucked, was a whole load of fun
My jam
Hands down still my favorite game track of all times.
i started with yakuza 3. now playing yakuza 4 and i'm almost at the end. fucking love this series! if heard rumors though that yakuza 5 ain't gonna be released outside japan. that would be my worst nightmare.
i wonder what this guy is doing now
@@supersoupy4709 Not much. Just living life 🙂
00:01 Suzaku of the Shippu (Akanami) 03: 51 The White Tiger of Shigeaki (Shiwa) 06: 07 Genbu of the Iron Wall (Green North) 09: 04 Legendary Blue Dragon (Blue Eastern) ...... Potential possibility of succeeding If you can suitably compare the four highs with the four large primary colors and the four sacred beasts that protect the east and west north and south, it is like this
detective character with blue jacket has FUNNEST fighting style he can PARRY attacks!!!!!!! ^.^
You could be right since all four characters are symbolized as the four Chinese/Japanese Sacred Beasts, Kiryu being the Azure Dragon (Well Rounded in all areas), Saejima being the White Tiger (Greatest Strength), Akiyama being the Vermilion Bird (Greatest Speed), and Tanimura being the Black Tortoise (Greatest Defense). All I can say is though they all kick a whole lot of ass.
It really does dude! Really want to visit Japan after playing them all! I really hope Y5 gets released in UK/NA! Looks awesome as always
Seiryu-Kiryu
Suzaku-Akiyama
Byakko-Saejima
Genbu-Tanimura
Am I right with these comparisons?
Perfect. The Four Gods.
Not at all. In fact the devs did it designed these characters with them in mind.
Kiryu - Dragon tattoo, strongest and wisest, the dragon is represented by the element "Wood" in fengshui (fitting that theres a "木" in his name.), the most potent symbol of protection. His heat color is blue (I know... everyone's heat is blue, but Kiryu started it.). The dragon is also a symbol of emperors (leader of the group).
Akiyama - "Sky" Finance, his bird-based nickname in the coliseum, red jacket, high flying kicking style, an icon of success, respect, rebirth and endless possibilities (reflecting the nature behind his money lending business). Among the its Seven Mansions (Chinese constellations basically) is "Star" (Akiyama's theme "Speed Star"), "Maids In Waiting" (Hana and the Cabaret) and "Celestial Wolf" (for some reason, Wolf is part of his SSR title in Yakuza Online).
Saejima - His name, tiger tattoo, Kiryu's equal, represented by the element "Metal" and regarded as a God of War (kinda in line with the unique ability to use Extra Heavy objects as weapons), symbolism varies but the common theme is "Power" and "Strength", his camo-patterned pants reflecting a tigers natural habitat. The Tiger's associated direction is "West" matching Saejima's Kansai origins.
Tanimura - His thick coat, symbolizes long life, stability and support (reflecting him supporting the immigrant orphans), is known as a "Black Warrior" in East Asian Mythology which could be reflecting his "black"mailing of brothels. The black turtle shares the same name as the taoist god "Xuanwu" and revered by martial artists (Tanimura being the only guy with a martial arts background). Xuanwu is also worshipped in Thailand (Tanimura's half nationality).
I could be stretching it with some of them but the similarities are there nonetheless.
@@lackusshock the dragon in his back is more like the "unbettable dragon god" than a strong and wise person, he has a strong sense of justice but i wouldn't say he's wise
The 4 Gods in human form
I finished Yakuza 3 in 45 hours with almost everything complete, now I recently started Yakuza 4 and loving it to death, my question is, is it a longer game then part 3 was? I really hope it'l last me at least 60-100hrs.
Now Yakuza 5 is coming out, March hopefully, CAN"T WAIT! :D
You've probably played it since it's been six fuckin years but my good god Yakuza 5 is a long game. My play through clocked in at like 160 hours, and that's without finishing all of the side content.
Dalton S good god man what in the hell did you do the entire time??
Finished 4 a few hours ago, downloading 5 now :D
@@professortree9387 He probably played Mahjong or something
I finished all games with story, side stories, and substories completed: 3 with almost 60 hours, 4 with a little more than 40 (I didn't do Kiryu or Saejima's side story), and 5 with a bit more than 70. In comparison, 0 took me 100 hours (although I also did weapon upgrades and it was my first game so it took me longer to get a hang of it).
Two thumbs up, this game is amazingly environmental and has a soul. Something video games have been missing for many years :( Yakuza 3 is great as well, but 4 is just an improvement in all ways, especially combat
True
Woah i posted this 11 years ago, since then I've played yakuza 6, yakuza zero, kiwami 2, and got half my body tattooed with japanese style tattoos. Time flys!
I’m waiting for the remastered collection to come to Xbox, i love the Yakuza games I’ve played so far!
Have fun boi. 3 4 5 are the first yakuza games I played on the ps3. Love all of 'em
Dragon of Dojima i loved 3, I’m playing 4 at the moment and it’s great. They did a good job with the new protagonist.
@@Randompancakes12345 right? 6 released on xbox yesterday. Now you can complete the whole saga
6:08 - 9:00 - Tanimura's version has to be my favourite. :D
we are the Yakuza 4
What a freaking masterpiece, sounds like Yuzo Koshiro's Streets of rage ost in 2011
谷村のラストバトルでこのイントロかかったとき相棒よぎった
Good To Know Some Games Still Have Stories Worth Playing, YAKUZA DEAD SOULS FTW!!
I feel like the Yakuza 4 protagonists could all be mapped to different bending styles. Akiyama gets Air, Saejima gets Earth, Tanimura gets Water, and Kiryu's the Avatar, a native Firebender.
I think they are already based on different 4 legendary Gods. Akiyama as Vermilion Bird, Tanimura as Black Turtle, Saejima as White Tiger and Kiryu... simply as *Dragon*. Also, Ryuji Goda is the Yellow Dragon of the Center and how Kiryu able to beat them all, make a name for himself and rising to the top as A Legendary Dragon, proved that just by staying true to yourself, you can overcome any obstacles and that what it's *Like* to be *A Dragon*. Kiryu is just AWESOME (:
Blake Snowe Actually Kiryu is the Azure Dragon :)
If we go by their godly counterparts: Akiyama would get fire; Tanimura would get earth; Saejima would get water; Kiryu would get air
All things considered, it's better off to have these guys together rather than an all-controlling Avatar, they're much more dangerous as well
Kiryu also has some earth in him
@@ima4248 nah cus kiryu
Thank you Sega for the beautiful Remastered Collection
I’ve been listening to this song for about a year because it’s amazing, I started playing the Yakuza series when Yakuza 0 was added to xbox gamepass, i wasn’t expecting anything much but Yakuza 0 is one of my favorite games ever! After that I played Kiwami, Kiwami 2 and Like a Dragon and loved them also, then I was kinda sad because I couldn’t play the rest and would have to wait a while until i got a playstation. But thank goodness they ported the rest of the games to Xbox and PC! I loved 3, Mine and Fly, and the rest of the soundtrack/game was awesome. Over the last couple of days I’ve been playing tons of 4 and I’ve gotten to the finale, I’ve loved my journey with these 4 characters and can’t wait to play the finale and finally listen to this song while playing the finale and listening to it the way it was meant to be listened! I’m so excited, I’ve loved this song for like a year and soon I’ll actually be able to experience it like it’s meant to be! Let’s go!!!
Yakuza 5 here we go GUYS!! One of my favourite franchises of all time!
screw GTA V! i want yakuza 5!
Ummmmmmm yes
Chris Daughtry I have 6 it's fucking awesome
@Chris Daughtry it was pretty good
Wow 6 years ago, fuck man.
Screw Gta VI! I WANT YAKUZA 7!
That's one nice mix.
HOT DAMN this game is too good, probably the best finale in gaming history
Ahhhhh this slaps so hard
Kiryu - Matt McMuscles.
Akiyama - Angriest Pat
Saejima - Woolie (especially with the green garb)
Tanimura - Liam
We didn't know what we really had until you guys were gone. Thanks for everything, Super Best Friends. I hope you guys find friendship again.
Homosexual post
And like liam, Tanimura left first
This game has a SOUL and who is waiting YAKUZA 5!!!!!!
I played 0 when it came to Game Pass as a way to dip into the series, expecting it to kill a few minutes. I ended up getting hooked on the story and characters. Just finished 4 last night. I can't get enough.

I bought this game when I was a kid in 2010 Maybe it was a very long time ago I still have the disk and it works fine too
The seflish deed... IS NOT FREEDOM!
CAN'T JUSTIFEEEEEEEEEE
The chorus is freaking epic! Its the part where piano comes in! OMFG. I was also sad at first that i had to play as other characters because no way they hold a candle to the dragon of dojima but the storyline was epic great it really absorb you into the characters even though its true no one can kick kiryu. LvL6 Kiryuu had to face off against tanimuralvl11 and kiryama lvl 14.( I really went out and explore with them) and still won easy. Didnt even visit komaki for the damage powerups.

We are the yakuza 4!
Fucking badass music game and protagonists, AWESOME !!
BRING US Yakuza 5 at once SEGA !!
I just imported it. There's a translation guide. Just buy it off Play-Asia.
You mean I can play it in english somehow ? Is that possible ??
Thai Corralo Vigo
Nah, not yet. It's a guide a dude made that translates everything in the game to English. It's not a localization, but it will at least tell you what the hell you're doing.
KHHSubs also translated all the cutscenes, but Sega pulls them off UA-cam. They're on Dailymotion, I think.
Sega does that !?!?
I'm speechless . Dont they have enough denying us the chance of playing it, they even take away the vids ??
So I download that guide on paper and read along the playthrough ?
Well not confortable but at least I'll be able to play it.
Thanks 4 the info mate !!
PS: Have you tried it already ? Is it as good as it seems ?
It's web pages, but I'm pretty sure you could make a PDF of it, if there isn't already.
The cutscene guy has a channel on UA-cam: CaptainEpic3.
He did a full guide for Ishin/Restoration, but no cutscenes yet.
He did everything for Kenzan, though.
Check those out!
I have Y5, but haven't played it yet. Working on Ishin, which is itself tremendously fun.
There's even "Battle Dungeon Mode," which is basically just "fight through a bunch of chumps in a procedurally generated dungeon, collect rare upgrade materials, then fight the mini-boss." I love that mode to death.
For Yasuko...
来いやー!! 城戸ぉぉお!!
I STILL GOT THE GAME!! CAN'T WAIT TILL YAKUZA 5 COMES TO THE US!!
I can imagine Kiryu sitting at his Yakuza headquarters thinking. "Haruka hasn't called in a while... Should I check on her? Nah, what could POSSIBLY happen? I should probably read this taped together ransom note I just got... But I ALSO really want some bbq beef... hmm... I'll read it later."
for four face and faith
I have Kabukicho as my desktop background. Love Yakuza.
I didn't realise how good is this track and now I can't stop listening to it.
thanks
Super nice song!
最高に格好いいわ
i can' stop listenin to this
