PS2 yakuza 1

[Burzuru]

i just finished it. credits song was amazing grace which i thought was kinda weird. combat was pretty serviceable. plot was interesting. game has a trust system with haruka that i didn't discover until near the end of the game. its a really cool game though. i give it an arbitrary numerical value of 8/10.

OG English dub, Undub or Kiwami remake?

it was undub. i did actually play the kiwami version before but i didn't like how they balanced the game after bringing the style switching over from 0. i never finished that version.

i'm thinking of going into yakuza 2 as my next game.

That's fair. I've only ever played the PS2 version with its wild English dub, but never in the original Japanese. I have played Kiwami a couple of times though.

Nice! hope you enjoy the franchise! and if not, then that's fine too!

OG Yakuza 1 is a nice game. the vibe of the original PS2 titles are phenomenal. the combat is also good for the first game of the series but OG Y2 combat is way more better.

although some people are uncomfortable with Kiwami 1 combat, for me it was a better and more advanced version of 0's combat. while 0 combat was really great, the legend style was underwhelming; but the Kiwami 1 made a improvement to both Dragon style and style switching
