Do the two stories connect or are they meant to be separate?

ignore this, just got prompted to download a tiny patch. It just adds 4 misc content items that i assume you redeem from the clown guy at the shrines. Patch notes don't mention any bug-fixes or the like. 5mb in size

Ahhh I will need to reinstall Ishin! Did you need to have your save file present? Or did it go by you trophies? I made a separate JPN PSN account for playing Ishin
If its like Yakuza games in the past, I'm assuming they'll join up towards the end of the game.
Another question: Does the 'Rush' combat style prevent you from grabbing opponents? Because when I hit 'O', Kiryu is kicking instead of performing a grab.
imo 3 is the worst mainline Yakuza game.
I'm on chapter 1X and I've been letting secondary missions for later on as pretty early the game told me that I would be able to swap between characters at some point in the story. Been pushing through to get that before I start to do secondary missions but I fear I'm approaching the end of the game and still dont have the option.
I wouldn't worry too much, as in the post game you'll be able to play Premium Adventure which will allow you to catch up on the side quests you missed.
I'd try and hit most of them during the normal game though, the rewards are generally pretty worth it.
Typically considered one of the weaker entries. I think it is mostly because the story pacing can drag for some (in comparison to the two stories preceding it).
Haven't played 0 but from what I gather it is one of the best ones so that promises a lot.
0 is a better game than 3 definitely. It's brilliant and a fantastic starting point. 3 tends to split fans I find, oneida for example feels it's the worst whilst it's one of my favourites after 2 and 0 (4 is personally my least favourite mainline entry).
However that's not really a 'dislike' situation for myself, I love them all it just some more than others
I did the same thing and not gonna lie I got stuck on the first boss for a while.
This was basically me for half an hour:

I did my first [very raw] mini-montage! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCga5zO65Mc
The second clip shows some AMAZING hitboxes that are implemented, I literally dogded an attack that would've hit my head just by going into charge mode!

Back to just before the fight that killed you, as far as I can see.
Yes, you cannot grab oponents (or items) while in Rush mode
Really, even with bosses and such?
Sounds perfect, actually. Even hard stuff rarely gets that frustrating if you can retry immediately. Continuously being out of healing items might end up being a problem though.

Wait, is the punching guy actually face-modeled in the game? Am I crazy?

Holy shit, he is similar! But that's probably a coincidence, lol.

Yakuza series is known for capturing likeness and voiceacting of popular yakuza movie actors like Riki Takeuchi and Takeshi Kitano.
That is Hitoshi Ozawa.

Same guy it looks like.
Yup, I (shamefully) died once on the Kuze boss encounter, and was put back to the beginning of the fight

Those 3 antagonists in particular all look pretty much like their actors. Though modelled slightly younger looking in some cases.
Also the interview vid with all 5 of them, but its not subtitled and only in Japanese.

Actually all 3 Dojima lieutenants are played by and modeled after famous actors.
(Hitoshi Ozawa, Riki Takeuchi and Hideo Nakano respectively)
EDIT: ok parakeetman got a better pic^
I have a quick question, sorry if this has been answered already but does this have a day 1 patch? I should be getting it later but my internet has been off for 2 days, so I'm unable to download one. I am so looking forward to playing but don't wanna play an unpatched version.

Woot, cheers mate, thought I was going crazy or something.
It does, but it's so tiny I didn't even notice it on my Australian backwards tin-can string connection (we're talking seconds on a 6Mb/s connection, at best). Judging from its size then, I wouldn't worry too much about missing too much by playing the 'unpatched' version.

If I don't have at least 10 healing items in my inventory I'm not even going near him, but if I do, well then... I'm gonna get rich tonight!

I had him down to almost no health but I always underestimate how super hard he hits
Yes, but it (appears) to just add a few content packs.

A lot of the time the cast of real actors used were also in popular / famous Yakuza related films too.
I took him down before using Rush style. Wait until he starts his attack animation, dash to one side to avoid it, punch him 3-4 times and immediately establish some distance by dashing away twice or thrice. Rinse and repeat for some delicious money
This. Yakuza isn't just a love letter gaming, it's a love letter to the Yakuza film genre as well.
On a related note. I'm always floored by the studio mo-cap technology.
Thanks for the answers, but luckily it's now irrelevant as my internet is working again.

Sounds like I'm in for a treat then as I've been really enjoying 3. Might wait for the remake later in the year rather than playing through my ps2 copy.

Me too, man, me too. This is my first Yakuza but I am so hyped for it.

Really nice to see so many people getting into the franchise.
My first yakuza game. Anyone have any tips for the fighting? It feels a bit...i don't know if janky the word but it doesn't feel smooth or easily intuitive. I'm very early on in the game (less than 2 hours) and i've just been going around the streets beating up random groups hoping to get a better handle on the fighting.
I find the camera zoomed in where its hard to keep track of multiple enemies sometimes. The camera doesn't stay behind you so that makes it diifficult to deal with multiple enemies as well. Are the different fight styles meant to be used on different type of enemies or are they more just for personal preference?

the dancing mini game is actually so good

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
YUSS !!
I am new to the series, and I get the complaint, especially coming from more contemporary brawlers or action combat games.
I'd suggest using Rush mode, as it feels more......current......in terms of dodge mechanics, also make use of lock on, as this should mitigate the camera issue somewhat, also, try not to button mash, although this is a legitimate tactic, you'll flow much better in combat if you don't.
