Ah okay, would you have any idea why the trophies wont sync then?
I've never had it on a game I've received early before.

No. it's closer to Shenmue. There's no stealing cars or killing pedestrians.

I don't know what Shenmue is either
Do you have the time? If so then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkN9oru-qCQ
Watch at least from 0:02:50 where he talks about GTA comparisons.
I think SEGA is jumping on the Yakuza train big time after Y0's critical acclaim, man am I glad for YakuzaGAF going all out in trying to spread awareness, I hope we contributed at least a little to the current turn of events, and what a beautiful turn it is, oh boy.
So... let's send them barrage of tweets regarding Ishin release huh?
It's something usual when you unlock trophies a few days ahead of release date, they are still not visible but you will have them there once the trophy list is unlocked. Happened to me with FF XV as well
I honestly wouldn't compare Yakuza to Shenmue to be honest. They are very different games especially at their core and does both series a disservice tbh.
Yep, would be awesome if the ball started rolling. Some merchandise would be neat too (and maybe a physical collection which includes 0-6 +- outliers

Could someone Yakuza up my avatar?

I played the demo for 3 back in the day but other than that I have not really touched or looked into the series. But part of me has always had an interest for it.
So I preordered Yakuza 0 yesterday. With the remake of the original just around the corner, and 6 next year, it just seemed like the perfect time. I can't wait.
It definitely does feel like there is more interest towards the series right now, which is great.

The past few weekends my brother and I have been working our way through 5 to finish it in time for Tuesday.
Just completed all sub stories with the exception of the very last one and just the last chapter of the finale to complete. Looking set to finish it tomorrow.
I was lucky enough to win 5 in the OT when it came out thanks to my cat Kazuma.

Just got my copy at a Frys Electronics in the Bay Area. They had some out on display in the new release section and scanned with no problem.

Yes yes yes. I really want to play Ishin in English, hope Sega consider to localize it
Yes, and in his best role.
Lol that's solid
ZoominGames just recently made "a 10 things that will make you love the Yakuza series" video and it's getting a lot of views so far:

I am so happy that so many big YouTubers are finally hyping the Yakuza series with the release of 0.

i continue to insist sony/sega missed an opportunity in not localizing ishin in 2014 when ps4 had a software dryspell
I went ahead and ordered Ishin. I would love for them to bring out Kenzan and Ishin to the west on the PS4. Playing thru Kenzan now on PS3, the game totally holds up. The graphics are beautiful (for a 2008 game) and art direction as per all Yakuza games is spot on.
I think if people want to go the extra mile and support the series, they should also buy these games too, if they're not concerned about it being in Japanese. If Zero sells well like 100-200k and some of that translates like (5%) to Kenzan, Ishin sales, Sega will get quite a shock!
When I made the thread, I didn't think we'd get past 10 pages at best. I wonder what the other Yakuza old timers think? But there have been lots of posts here from long time Yakuza fans that either skipped a game or two or haven't posted about Yakuza in a while and suddenly everyone feel like they need to jump back in. Combined that with the excellent job Sega and Atlus have done to get the word out with prominent youtubers and streamers and large gaming media outlets, new people are joining in. And its not just getting the word out, but many reviewers seem to 'get' Yakuza now and are reviewing from that frame of mind. I didn't read any reviews that had that sort of 'alienation' where the game wasn't for them because it was not what they were expecting. Whereas before it really was just thrown into the Japanese GTA genre basket.
Also I think some part of it also is the fact that a great number of old franchises have come and gone like Halo, COD, GTA, AC, GOW, WOW, FF and maybe people want something different. That might be why Yakuza didn't get a look in other times because everybody just wanted Halo/COD and now Yakuza is still around, Zero has been reviewed as one of the best entries and its January, a good time for a new game to release (another brilliant move by Sega to get ahead before other big hitters in 2017 arrive). The numbers for those games obviously pale into comparison, but there seems to be some portion of the gaming market, looking for something new to play.
Man I really hope Yakuza 6 keeps the same release day for next year, because it worked for Zero.
The best thing is that sometimes Neogaf does give a shit and put their money where their mouth is, and that's the best Neogaf.
That was a lot better than I expected (pretty much on point for everything, just had some hilariously poor Japanese pronunciations). It's great to see just how much exposure Zero is getting.
No, all side/mini games are in. The intro theme song Bubble is missing from the English version.
The SEGA arcade games are Space Harrier, Outrun, Fantasy Zone and Hang-On. And the arcade claw machine (pretty sure that's in there).

Assuming there's a possiblity that Ishin/Kenzan gets localised...
Should it be:
a. Treated like a new IP. Give it a different brand name "Like a Dragon" or whatever, but sell it as a pre-modern Japan take on the Yakuza IP.
b. Give it a name like "Yakuza Origins/Restoration/Yakuza 1605" or whatever, basically tie it back to the Yakuza brand name despite it not being as flexible and reflective of the spin-off's stories.

I am gonna play so much Outrun I might never finish the main story.
Somehow, I own every Yakuza published in the USA, but I've only sunk significant time into 1 and 3. I managed to play 75% of 1 twice, a few years apart. I bought 5 day one to support the series but had been holding off in the hopes that the HD versions of 1 & 2 made it over.
So I'll be starting in on 0 on Tuesday and if the arcade doesn't derail me, it'll be the first Yakuza I finish. Stoked.

forget about kenzan. it won't happen ever. they're not going to localize a PS3 game and they're not going to port it to PS4 just for a western release.
Good good good. While it's disappointing the intro song is missing I'll let it slide. I remember Y3 had a lot of missing content like hostess game so I skipped it and after playing Y4 I made the right choice, playing and running the hostess club was great!
No, the only similarities is a sandbox to play in and even then it's nowhere near the same. This series is best described as a story driven action RPG, where you punch guys and earn experience to punch guys harder, with a lot of different side missions and extra content to enjoy.
There is but it is part of a side quest reward that's multiple choice, and if you're me I made the wrong choice. None of the side quests are chapter specific this time around so you can always play through them later.
No content missing aside from the song. The SEGA games are present, those two need to be unlocked through 'Friendship' missions.

I would imagine. Most retail PSN games do.
