So on the recommendation of a few posters in this thread, I decided life was too short and just watched a supercut of all Kiwami's cutscenes on YouTube. Wow, I'm glad I did because man, the story was incredibly disappointing, so I'm glad I only spent a few hours watching it compared to the 15-20 it would have taken to play through the whole thing. Also, I was pretty damn surprised how many story beats/scenarios in Kiwami were seemingly also reused in Yakuza 0, for example:
In any case, now that that's over with, tomorrow I am very excited to start my playthrough of Kiwami 2!
- Takes place near Christmas time
- Kiryu takes the fall for a crime he didn't commit, and is kicked out of the Dojima family
- Main villain's goal is to become Tojo Clan Chairman
- Tojo Clan infighting, with the Omi Alliance secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes
- Kazama foreseeing everything and settings events in motion
- Battle inside and on the grounds of Tojo HQ
- Car chase battle
- Battle on a boat where Kashiwagi shows up to help
- Battle on a terrace at the top of an office building with a helipad
- Guy who was secretly helping Kazama the whole time becomes the new Tojo Clan Chairman
In any case, now that that's over with, tomorrow I am very excited to start my playthrough of Kiwami 2!
