![]() ![]() ![]() When Sega was promoting the All-Star Cast featured in the English dub through interviews with the voice actors, Michael Madsen expressed that he wanted his character Futoshi Shimano to return in the sequel in an important role, perhaps joking the game would be called "The Revenge of Shimano" considering the character is killed late in the game.In 6, her running away is a major driving force of the game's plot, where her beloved father figure Kiryu chooses to disappear from her life by Faking the Dead after the game's events to protect her, though his reasons are not exactly connected to her running away. ![]() In her dying moments, Yumi tells Haruka to not run away, because her happiness will slip away.Ham and Cheese: Though the script is rough and there are issues with the direction, Mark Hamill as Goro Majima really did the best he could with the role, and is considered a fun and over-the-top performance that stands out as probably the best overall performance in the games English cast.Since HEAT was slightly harder to build up and drained more quickly in the early games, this was particularly welcome. Good Bad Bugs: Finishing the last enemy in a group with a HEAT action ends the round before the HEAT bar gets drained, meaning you could get an extra HEAT action.This sort of enemy continues to appear in later games, but they're no longer invincible when attacking and are overall easier to deal with. They may have low health, but they're skilled enough to dodge Kiryu's attack, and their attacks are quick, unpredictable, and tend to have invincibility frames making them a pain to deal with. Goddamned Bats: The generic "boxer" type enemies that can be identified by their short, slender builds and the way their idle stance has them guard their faces and bounce on their feet.But his Ax-Crazy personality that borders on Crazy Is Cool and Mark Hamill's performance in the divisive English dub were what made him so popular that he became a Breakout Character in the sequel onwards. Ensemble Dark Horse: Latecomers to the franchise would be surprised that Goro Majima in the first game started off merely as a minor obstacle to Kiryu with no major significant role in the main story.Kiwami would fuel this further by having Majima's weapon (the Demonfire Dagger) available for Kiryu to use after completing Majima Everywhere, allowing you to finish Shimano with the very weapon Majima's eye was gouged out with. If you've played Yakuza 0 (and to a lesser extent, Yakuza 4) before this or Kiwami, then it's definitely quite satisfying to put Shimano down for all the things he put Majima and Makoto through in 0. Catharsis Factor: Retroactively speaking.Interestingly Mercer does provide the voice for Luke Skywalker in at least one other game. Many English voice actors from the first game returned to reprise their characters, although Matthew Mercer ended up taking on the Goro Majima role. Judgment was released with both English and Japanese voice acting, and was well received enough for Yakuza: Like a Dragon to receive the same treatment.While this move was praised by many fans who expressed the English dub took away from the intended Japanese feel of the game, there are fans who enjoyed the English voiceovers and want to be able to play the games with spoken English dialogue again, or at least hear Mark Hamill voice Goro Majima again. Judgment, being a spinoff, also features english dubbing, which it is even better. Broken Base: The English voice acting for the first game, despite having an All-Star Cast, wasn't at all well received and was quickly dropped from the sequel onward note although it was more likely due to budget and time constraints instead of Pandering to the Base.Breather Boss: Nishiki is no pushover, but most fans agree that he's much easier than the fight against Jingu immediately beforehand.Considering the time and effort one would put into doing this, a better reward is expected. Completing all missions in the Battle Record with S-Ranks rewards the player with the "Master of Fighting" option for the main campaign, allowing Kiryu to use HEAT actions without having to fill the bar.She also goes through a ton of stuff that would leave anyone else traumatized for life relatively unaffected. Angst? What Angst?: Haruka is barely shocked when she learns of the possibility of her mother being dead. ![]()
