So the chronologically order is :

yakuza 1

Yakuza 2

yakuza 3

Yakuza 4

Yakuza 5

Yakuza 6

Yakuza 7

But do I play zero before one or does that take place after yakuza 1

Without mods

I accidentally created save slot 2 and it doesn’t ask me if I’d like to delete the save slot!

Have any of you tried Yakuza 7 yet?

Hi all, just wanted to let you know that my role as WM with Fandom is over 6th March. If there is anything I can do for this community beforehand, please reach out during this time.

Best of luck with the wiki and to its community in the future!

after Kiryu and Akiyama, who else is cheering to haruka in Konnan Janai? please i need the answer. i need this for a video

Woop woop! 2 weeks to go until Yakuza 4 Remastered is released!

In the meantime, to aid with efficient updating of the wiki, I'd like to suggest that people intending to record gameplay and/or edit articles for 4R communicate their intentions. It would be great to know what bases are covered for the release. Also, it will hopefully allow for people without access to the game to know where they can find information if they would like to contribute.

My plan is to record substories, hostess dialogue, mini-games, shop/restaurant/bar menus, and as much from the challenges as I can achieve. I'll be uploading everything to YouTube and probably mega.nz too. I also want to create substory articles but I'll know closer to the time if I'm actually able to.

Please consider over the next fortnight what you might want to do for 4R; with the influx of new content over the next few months, planning ahead will help us a lot. The more we get done with the digital releases the less pressure there will be in February when we get the influx of people who buy the physical collection and people looking for Y7 info.

Warm wishes to all,

Lammy.

To cut to the chase - in my eyes, the way we currently handle timelines (the Biography sections followed by headers for game recaps) isn't fit for purpose anymore. This is because of new information about past events revealed in later entries (most notably Ryu ga Gotoku Online) that don't fit neatly under any existing subheading.

I'll use Daigo Dojima as my example, but this applies to more than one character, or else I wouldn't bring it up. The information revealed about Daigo in RGGO (so far, at the time of writing) covers a 12 year span from 1995 to 2007. If I wrote it down, timeline-wise, that'd be Y0 to Y1/YK1 to Y2 to Y3.

So of course it follows that the information, while important, cannot fit comfortably under any single one of those headers, under the Biography section, or under its own RGGO section. In our current system, there's nowhere it can be placed without sacrificing clarity by changing the order of events /splitting information, or coming off as disingenuous by putting information under the header of a game where the events described don't match. Like if I wrote about the exact circumstances of how and why Daigo went to jail under his Y0 or Y2/YK2 headings even though those scenes are NOT present in Y0 or Y2/YK2 and in fact occur during the events of Y1/YK1.

So I have two potential changes to propose, one of which is major, but easily-implemented and addresses every issue I've brought up with the current system. The other easily-implemented at the cost of clarity.

The first, the one I favor, is doing away with game headers ENTIRELY for character and perhaps location pages. Replace them with years or ranges of years, like so:

To me, THIS is the best way to go forward without sacrificing clarity or quality. It has basis in how the games are covered on the official timeline and is simple to implement, as the series has a (surprisingly) solid timeline for most major events in any character's history. Each game also covers a very specific year or range of years, so for most characters it would be trivial to automate the process of converting the headings and correct anything that needs correction later. That's what we do, and as with any change I've ever proposed I'm willing to change every single page myself if I have to.

Headings and subheadings can be styled to be more prominent than they currently are so it's not easy to get lost while reading, and as for side games and spoilers I'm sure we can reach an agreement on those as well, but they're not a priority for me.

My other suggestion is simply to allow the use of subheadings and maybe treat headings as points in time rather than strictly game recaps. In that case, it'd look vaguely similar to this:

So... not much different from what we have going on. The main game headings don't need to be subheadings, they can still be just as they are now, just with subheadings for events that occur between games. The only thing that needs to happen is adding the subheadings and making it clear that while the events are not shown in-game on the console games, they still happened, and to use citations for that. Messy, but it'll still get the job done.

I look forward to hearing from everyone! In my opinion it's VERY important that we reach some kind of consensus on this soon, as it is proving to be a roadblock to necessary edits on high-traffic pages. In reality it might not seem like a difficult issue to resolve (it isn't), but I don't want to proceed without anyone's input. I thin one way or another, something needs to change.

Today, Sega officially announced Yakuza 7: Whereabouts of Light and Darkness, a game that in the West will be renamed Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

This is a new relaunch for the series as there will be a new protagonist (Ichiban Kasuga, already seen in Yakuza Online), a new location (Yokohama, three times larger than Kamurocho) and a completely revisited new combat system and style of the JRPG.

Yakuza 7 will be released on January 16th for PS4 in Japan and in 2020 in the West.

■ Introduction

The latest numbered entry in the Yakuza series for PlayStation 4, this is the story of new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga. In the new setting of Isezaki Ijincho in Yokohama, the story of the hot-blooded thugs stirred up by Ichiban Kasuga will begin.

If the protagonist changes, so does the gameplay. This is a new Yakuzaexperience!

New protagonist Ichiban Kasuga changes not only the story of the game, but also how you play.

■ Story

Protagonist Ichiban Kasuga makes his way up from the depths of despair. Depicted until the becoming of a new “Dragon,” this is the ultimate story of overcoming the higher ranked and rising to new heights. The future is in your hands!

January 1, 2001. The yakuza Ichiban Kasuga, who belongs to third generation family of the Tojo Clan—the Arakawa Family—was asked to take the fall for the crimes of wakagashira Jo Sawashiro by his boss Masumi Arakawa, which he agreed to do. For the family that he loves, for the respect of his boss… Kasuga served 18 years in a strict penitentiary, and in 2019, was finally released.

However, there was no one there to greet him upon his release.

With no one to welcome him, Kasuga returned to his hometown of Kamurocho. But the Kamurocho was not the Kamurocho that Kasuga once knew.

Thanks to a police policy known as the “Kamurocho 3K Operation,” the Tojo Clan had fallen. The police and the Omi Alliance of Kansai yakuza had completely taken over. And the one who created this new Kamurocho was none other than Masumi Arakawa.

“How could the boss do something like this!?”

In order to ascertain the truth for himself, Kasuga went to go see Masumi Arakawa.

After getting past obstacles like Omi Alliance members and his former superior Sawashiro, Kasuga manages to make his way to Masumi Arakawa.

“Boss!”

A reunion 18 years in the making with the “Boss” he loved like a father, the yakuza he admired—But what awaited him there was not the smiling face of a reunion, but rather the cold barrel of a gun.

“I’m sorry, Ichi… you need to die.”

The gunshot echoed. Kasuga’s vision dimmed—.

“Wha….!”

While wandering the depths of life or death, Kasuga somehow regained consciousness. But when he came to, he was at a dumpsite in homeless town lined with cardboard houses.

“…Where am I?”

Kasuga’s question is answered by a homeless man.

“Ijincho… Isezaki Ijincho. This is Yokohama. Got that? Yokohama.”

■ Battle

“Live command RPG battles” bring the fight of the “Dragon” to a new stage!

Yakuza 7 uses a “live command RPG battle” system that combines the series’ signature action with an RPG command system. It has evolved into a system in which anyone can easily enjoy exhilarating battles. In this completely new battle system, Ichiban Kasuga and his party will fight by selecting techniques with various effects such as attack, recovery, support, and more. Enjoy immersive and dynamic battles against all sorts of enemies.

■ Adventure

A new setting: Isezaki Ijincho in Yokohama!

Yakuza 7 is set in the huge new area of Isezaki Ijincho in Yokohama, which is more than three times the size of Kamurocho in Tokyo. In Yokohama, where every place has different faces, a grand story will unfold.

Since (spoilers) he faked his death

Hey fellow Yakuza fans, I think I just noticed something a bit off in the timeline, and I hope someone can clear it up. So, in the new game with Kasuga as the hero, he is released in 2018, but Kamurocho has been taken over by the Omi Alliance and the Tojo Clan has been expelled from there.

But in Judgement, the game explicit takes place in December of 2018, and the Tojo Clan is still in Kamurocho, and one of their subsidiaries, the Matsugane Family, even has a feud with another Kansai organization, the Kyorei Clan.

So, what's up? Is Judgement it's own canon, or does SRGG take place earlier in 2018, and by the time Judgement comes at the end of the year, the Tojo Clan is already back in Kamurocho? Or something else entirely?
