thefourfoldroot Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 @TomoTakino Just finished the plat for Yakuza 6. What a great end to the series and Kiryu’s story (perhaps). Im going to have to go back to Judgment now as I’m most of the way through the plat but, despite so much being the same, the Yakuza games, and Kiryu and the gang, are just far more engaging. Not much to say about the plat. Apart from my wasting hours finding and feeding cats because I figured it was needed for the “all minigames” trophy, whereas in fact I just completely forgot to play Mahjong, lol. I prefer the plat challenges from the previous games, but as this is the 7th I’ve played, I’m ok skipping it for something simpler this time. So, once I finish Judgment (yawn) I’ll be giving North Star a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFATMA Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I just got the plat for Yakuza: Like a Dragon on PS5 as my first ever in the series. I immediately started playing it again to get the plat on the PS4 version, because I loved the game that much! I have most of the rest of the Yakuza games in my backlog and have for a while, I just had never started any of them. If the other games in the series are even slightly as good as this one was, I'm definitely going to start playing the rest of them one by one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoTakino Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Hey guys, please bear with me. I made your tiles but imgur is down ATM so I will edit this post with updates when I can upload the tiles. EDIT: Imgur is back up. Here are your tiles guys!

You only really have a couple more to go before you're in Majima's Finest! That sounds so irritating btw but at least you found out why you didn't get the trophy. Reminds me of back in the day when I played Lego Indy 2 and I only needed to beat freeplay for the plat (which would have been my first) but despite beating it twice (and again in one sitting) the trophy didn't pop so I shelved it. Loaded it up 6 years later and got it in 10 minutes lol. I'm sorry you aren't enjoying Judgment. I just picked it up for PS5 so I'm not sure which version I want to play yet but I hope it picks up for you. But awesome job! Here's your tile @thefourfoldroot!

I've got the Platinum for Yakuza 0, Kiwami, Kiwami 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Judgment on PS4 + Yakuza 3 on PS3 ATM. Still need to finish LAD and then I'll do FotNS sometime and the rest of the English PS3 games (4, 5 and Dead Souls).

thefourfoldroot Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) @TomoTakino Thanks for that man, but don’t worry about the tiles for me, I don’t even know where I’d use them! I do appreciate your commitment to this thread though, and everyone’s help and encouragement. I’m sad I’ve finished the Yakuza Kiryu series. But looking forward to 7. Judgment is OK, I’m just not enamoured of the characters or combat. I like it enough to go for the plat though, and have already done the Puyo Puyo and drone challenges, which most say are the hardest parts. I doubt I’ll get all the plats unless some remasters happen really, as I’ve retired my PS3 permanently I think. I also don’t think I’ll get the PS5 version of judgment as I planned because, well, I just don’t like it enough to replay. Hope you enjoy it more though. Most seem to think it’s great.

Unfortunately there is a caveat that came to my attention while updating your list. Have you finished Yakuza: Dead Souls? I can't seem to find it on your profile and it is required for Majima's Finest. I know I had you on it previously, which I sincerely apologize for the mistake, but it is required at this time for Majima's Finest. Still, your completions are majorly impressive.

I got my PS5 before starting to go for the Yakuza plats and had already done that, and then decided to go through my backlog before buying anything new. I’m honestly not burnt out on them. 4 was a bit of a slog but that’s just because it was my worst in the series story wise.

Funnily enough, I think this is actualy the first time I've achieved the Majima's Finest rank. I could have gotten it much sooner if I skipped over Yakuza 1, 2, and Ishin since they're not required, but I felt like I wouldn't have truly completed the series without them. Oh, and I think you forgot to add my name to the Majima's Finest list btw. ? As for Village, yeah, I'm perfectly content waiting to play that one. Not only because I want to play it on the PS5 (I don't have the console yet), but also because it's getting DLC, and I usually only start a game when it's "complete" so I don't have to come back to it later. I did start The Darkside Chronicles recently though just to get my Resident Evil fix. ? 13 hours ago, ShadyWARcotix said: Awesome job!!! I still need the Plat in Yakuza Like A Dragon and FOTNS.

I was never bored of any RGG game but the grind in FoTNS is boring af -.- but I always take my time and will come back any time soon! Thanks! Well, Ishin was actually a launch game for the PS4 in Japan, so you don't need a PS3 to play it. You might be thinking of Kenzan which was a PS3-only game that never got trophy support unfortuantly. If you were interested in importing Ishin though, KHHsubs has a really great guide for English speakers that I relied on heavily to get the plat. With that being said though, there have been some new developments recently regarding western releases of Kenzan and Ishin. Following the success of Ghost of Tsushima, one of the Yakuza producers said he wanted to remake/remaster Kenzan and Ishin for the western audience, and I think it's pretty likely to happen at this point given how popular the series is over here now. No mention of Dead Souls though, so it's possible that'll remain stranded on the PS3 which is unfortuante, because despite a few flaws, it was actually a really fun game. Yeah, the grind in Lost Paradise is quite tedious, but I guess just count yourself lucky that they changed the requirements for the western release. You actually need 100% of the in-game achievements in the Japanese version, but it was lowered to only 50% for the west. The plat is much more of a cakewalk in comparison to that. ?

TomoTakino Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 So this has come up a lot and I wanted to ask you guys to see what your opinions are. Dead Souls is PS3 exclusive and there seem to be no signs of remastering it. With every other game in the series on PS4/PS5 and PS3 becoming harder to find, should we remove Dead Souls from Majima's Finest? I was personally thinking of creating a new category along the lines of "Dragons of Dojima" and including the Japanese titles as a special title for those who go above and beyond and if you guys would like, we could move Dead Souls into this category and open up Majima's Finest to those who never had a PS3. But I'd like to hear your guys thoughts on this first before I make the change. Please let me know your thoughts and if you guys like this idea or if you prefer to keep Majima's Finest exclusive to holding platinums for every translated game. 12 hours ago, ShadyWARcotix said: Awesome job!!!

Very true, I have been exploring PS5 a bit more lately. You have been very dedicated to the series though and that's awesome. I think a big thing too though is that my wife loves the stories of Yakuza but she isn't interested in playing them herself (aside from the crane games and the card games, which I let her play usually). So when I play without her, she tends to be disappointed and prefers if I wait for her. And with us working opposite shifts now it's hard to coordinate times. But lately I've been thinking of keeping our save and going on without her and just having a separate save when we can play together. I am glad to hear you aren't burnt out on them. Also thank you very much for all your kind words! And Yakuza definitely does deserve a wider audience. That's why I'm glad Sega has been putting them on PC and Xbox lately and being on game pass is awesome so more people can play them. 2 hours ago, bogaards1997 said: @TomoTakino Never had a ps3 I'm very sorry.

And you are quite right, I realized it when I went to bed last night but I was already falling asleep so I figured I would fix it in the morning. This should be fixed now though. But best of luck with Darkside Chronicles! I enjoyed Village myself (you can tell from the engine that they are definitely working on RE4 remake) but it's worth waiting for the DLC as well. Also, that's interesting about Lost Judgment. Definitely not complaining though ha ha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my buddy @Redgrave was a bit disappointed that he couldn't achieve the Majima's Finest rank since he doesn't have access to a PS3 despite getting the plat in every translated Yakuza game on the PS4 including the spin-offs. I'm sure there are a lot of people who feel like that too. So I'm all for the idea, it just comes down to what the exact requirements for Majima's Finest will be. Like if you're removing Yakuza: Dead Souls as a requirement, does it still make sense to have Fist of the North Star on there? Like yeah, it's available on PS4, but it's connection to the Yakuza series isn't as obvious when compared to the other spin-offs. I'm of the opinion that Fist of the North Star should only be a requirement for the Dragons of Dojima rank instead as I feel like that fits the definition of going "above an beyond". Also, when Kenzan and Ishin get remastered/remade (which I do believe they will at this point), presumably they'll get added as requirements for the Majima's Finest rank, so the only difference between that rank and Dragons of Dojima would be Yakuza 1, Yakuza 2, and Yakuza: Dead Souls. Making Fist of the North Star a requirement only for the Dragons of Dojima rank would help differentiate them a bit more. So just to make it clear, this is what my suggestion is.

I haven't quite played FotNS but Undead Wolf, your explanation makes sense and I could see how it would have less ties to the Ryu Ga Gotoku universe (besides sharing devs and gameplay traits). I really do like your idea too, thanks for the detailed response! That would help make Majima's Finest more open and would reward and encourage players (such as yourself) who have gone above and beyond in exploring the series.

thefourfoldroot Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 @TomoTakino I personally feel that you should keep the ranking for those who have all games available in the west (which will sadly mean I can’t get it unless I dig out my PS3 and get Dead Souls). I don’t see the point in splitting by console when it’s meant to be a thread about a series. My wife isn’t interested in watching me play Yakuza. She’s usually on her switch or a mobile game while I’m playing, so I can pretty much play at my own pace (well, within the confines of being married and not an arsehole anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer we remove it from Majima's finest and start a separate category with it included? I would preffer that majima's finest be only connected to the main games set in Kamurocho, while every other game adds to a separate title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Ishin was actually a launch game for the PS4 in Japan, so you don't need a PS3 to play it. You might be thinking of Kenzan which was a PS3-only game that never got trophy support unfortuantly. If you were interested in importing Ishin though, KHHsubs has a really great guide for English speakers that I relied on heavily to get the plat. With that being said though, there have been some new developments recently regarding western releases of Kenzan and Ishin. Following the success of Ghost of Tsushima, one of the Yakuza producers said he wanted to remake/remaster Kenzan and Ishin for the western audience, and I think it's pretty likely to happen at this point given how popular the series is over here now. No mention of Dead Souls though, so it's possible that'll remain stranded on the PS3 which is unfortuante, because despite a few flaws, it was actually a really fun game. Yeah, the grind in Lost Paradise is quite tedious, but I guess just count yourself lucky that they changed the requirements for the western release. You actually need 100% of the in-game achievements in the Japanese version, but it was lowered to only 50% for the west. The plat is much more of a cakewalk in comparison to that. Thanks for the long and accurate response. Yeah I got those games mixed up, my mistake. Yes this is what I'm hoping for idk if this is true but hey I still have a lot of games in my backlog + Lost Judgment is coming!! oh sh... yeah I know that too and Idk if I would do it because I didn't enjoy FoTNS as much I enjoyed the Yakuza series. The fighting was nice, the story and substories too of course but the rest. It feels like they really wanted to fill the blank world with tedious tasks if you know what I mean. Did you platinumed the japanese version too? 17 hours ago, TomoTakino said: Awesome job yourself and welcome! Ishin got a PS4 version (as Undead Wolf kindly pointed out) but I would love a Kenzan/Ishin dual remaster that makes it overseas. Best of luck with FoTNS though! Are you planning on hopping into Yakuza Like a Dragon next? Here are your tiles btw! @ShadyWARcotix Reveal hidden contents Thank you! Me too! I started it few month ago but I was very busy with other stuff and games so I dropped it in my backlog and yes I will come back to Yakuza Like a Dragon when I have finished FoTNS Edited June 20, 2021 by ShadyWARcotix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearElemental Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 It's a real shame how underappreciated this series is. After playing 0-6 (kiwami's) and Judgment, I pretty much recommend them to everyone. I do plan to add Like a Dragon to my platinum collection soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you platinumed the japanese version too? You're welcome. ? I can definitely relate to what you're saying about Fist of the North Star. It definitely outstayed its welcome a bit when going for the plat, but I still thought it was a really good game despite all that, even as someone who's not familiar with the manga/anime (it got me interested in checking those out which was a nice bonus). I didn't plat the Japanese version myself, I'm just going off the horror stories I've heard about it. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoTakino Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hey everyone! So there seems to be a loud consensus with the straw poll. As of this current writing, the vote is 8-1 in favor of making a new category and easing the Majima's Finest requirements! I really want to thank everyone who has voted and voiced their opinion on this matter and urge anyone who has not yet voted or has something to say to please do so now. Otherwise, I will likely implement the changes on Sunday so long as things remain the same.

I don’t see the point in splitting by console when it’s meant to be a thread about a series. My wife isn’t interested in watching me play Yakuza. She’s usually on her switch or a mobile game while I’m playing, so I can pretty much play at my own pace (well, within the confines of being married and not an arsehole anyway). Thanks for your opinion! You do have a point regarding console vs series and I can definitely see where you're coming from. This is a thread about exploring the series and you're absolutely right about that though I do hope to encourage people to explore outside the games available to the west despite the language barrier. But the new title "Dragons of Dojima" would be more of a "all encompassing series" title while the new Majima's Finest will be more about finishing the main series. I hope this doesn't discourage you.

I do like this idea a lot. Perhaps Majima's Finest could be for platinuming the main series while Dragons of Dojima could encompass the side games? I don't want to overload the community with so many proposals but this could be a good implementation to discuss in the future.
