Now do it ALL over again through the Japanese version RyuGaGotoku

Fun fact, you don’t have to even play a match of poker, koi-koi, or even the arcade games Just hit start, exit the minigame and it still counts as you playing it

I platinumed Yakuza 0-4 and both Judgements and right now sit on 5th. When I first started this tradition at 0, I loved the game even when it drives me crazy with catfights and material shop in sotenbori. Because thanks to 100% I was pushed to try all the stuff game gives you - if I didn’t go for completion list, I’d skip lot of fun things. And usually after I get the platinum it just fills me with confidence and happiness, don’t know how to explain that further. Although I still don’t know why I did platinum in first borderlands - 8 hour arena grind solo is too much for anyone.

I think one good part of Gaiden is how it divorced Achievements and the Completion List. Achievements were less like chores in Gaiden compared to Lost Judgment Achievements "Obtain all equipment", "Obtain 50 pickups in Hama of the Dead", and the reason I stopped myself from trying... "Achieve 100% completion of TownGo" with by extension includes bullshit objectives like "fly the drone for a full hour", "Get 2 million points in Space Harrier", and "Defeat 3 Tigers in Dice & Cube". In fact, I specifically recall see some of the completion list in Gaiden and thinking "oh god, I am not doing that for Platinum" only to learn it was optional. And that's what caught my eye the most about Gaiden's completion list: It's worse than Lost Judgment, but isn't required for a genuine major achievement! To give an example, Lost Judgment and Gaiden both have Sonic the Fighters, and as such, have it in their completion lists... but not the same objectives. Lost Judgment merely asks you to defeat each playable character. This means you get all Sonic related completion list objectives in a single playthrough, and you don't even need to beat the Final or Bonus Bosses. Hop over to Gaiden, and there's less but more time consuming objectives. It asks you to win 20 matches total, which is two playthroughs. That's already double Lost Judgment... and that's not counting the objective that asks you to beat the mode as every character, which is 8x Lost Judgment's "beat every character". The bullshit of TownGo Master would be worse if Gaiden's completion list was there... but it isn't. There's not even an achievement for getting Akame Network to max level 30, stopping a full 10 levels earlier. Achievements in Gaiden feel like they want you to at least give everything a shot, but focus on the core of the game. Achievements in Lost Judgment are asking me to literally 100% the entire game within a single save file except for Legend difficulty. Lost Judgment is still my favorite RGG game though, missing 13 achievements after 140 hours isn't going to change that.

Having Haruka be sad that I couldn't wipe a table in poker and get a billion yen or not getting a single completion list item because I was forced to fight the bullshit Virtua Fighter AI over and over until I either get a brain hemorrhage or win every fight broke me spiritually and mentally. You really hit the nail on the head with Lost Judgment though, having to play as every Virtua Fighter 5 character and ESPECIALLY the Fighting Vipers shit really made my blood boil. If you are gonna make me play your old, coin hungry arcade games that have shit AI then at least make the completion of it not terrible.

I just want to do the bare minimum and get a bright shiny trophy for doing nothing to make me feel happy”

Maybe a hot take/unpopular opinion, but I love doing the Completion List for platinum. It makes the Yakuza games stand out to me, and without that requirement the platinums are far too easy.

Same. I'm actually waiting for Gaiden to go deep sale because it's so short compared to the others for the platinum. "Having to" spend 100 hours playing is part of the appeal, so being able to finish the lot in 25 is not a selling point for me.

While I do enjoy that they made the 100% for Gaiden a lot less tedious, I do think they may have pulled it down just a bit too far, and surely there could be some sort of middling ground between 'grind these side games until your head hurts' and 'open a minigame for half a second and closing it immediately'.

There was no achievement for eating at all the restaurants in this one (very sad, I always like getting that one), but I was relieved to see that the 100% was straightforward for once. This was also my first 100% for a Yakuza game, though I’m closing in on Lost Judgment as well.

The sync of the kick with the trumpet in Changing Seasons was great(and the other one with Changing Seasons Reload). I always love the care and attention you give to the music in these games, and especially in your videos. It goes a long way to adding a degree of depth and attention to detail. Good stuff.

I do really hope this isn't the standard moving forward. Yakuza platinums are very satisfying to get (i have all of them) but Gaiden felt like a spit in the face to those who do enjoy going for the platinum trophies in the rest of the series, which are who they should be tailored to. In an already bite size entry, they really should've given completionists something more substantial.

I think you equate easy with good going by the title. I haven't watched the video yet but I thought this games plat was WAY too easy. It tied all the side content together nicely and I like that you can finish the story and get the platinum together on a first playthrough, but there was no major challenge in this one and I played it on Profession as well.

There’s a trophy for the one shot challenge so def required. Was the most annoying trophy but not even that bad.

So far the only games I have 100% ed is Like a Dragon, and Yakuza Giaden, and I felt so much more satisfied finishing Like a Dragon, mainly because the final acheivement I did was the hardest series of fights in the game.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon was the first and currently only RGG game I've obtained all the achievements in. While I originally had no intention of 100% completion, I felt motivated to pursue it after realising that I only had 6 achievements left to unlock after beating the game. That being said, I really hope LAD8 doesn't have a mind numbingly boring grind just to even beat the first room in the dungeon. The most fun I've had in obtaining all the achievements in a game (and imo should be the gold standard for achievements) is Risk of Rain 2. While some are normally unlocked as you learn the game, most of the achievements generally revolve around specific challenges and discovering secrets within the levels, and completing them will either unlock a new character, or a new item that could allow for new creative builds. Both these rewards help keep the gameplay fresh while giving the player an incentive to unlock the achievements. Also, after spending 3 hours learning mahjong just so I could fight Shin Amon, I actually like the game now and no longer relate to the people who complain about it (I still suck ass at it though).

Spent like 2 months straight this year replaying Y3-5 on both PS3 and PS4 just to have the playing of both versions. Yes I’m insane, yes I also finished Gaiden’s completion regardless of necessity.

I've foundered on specific Completion List requirements on some Yakuza-games - either because there was some minigame I just could NOT get into, or because the grind wore me down - but in most cases, I've got every trophy *except* the 'Complete the Game on Legendary Difficulty' one. By the time I finished 100%ing everything, finishing the Completion List and all that, I'm *sick* of the game, and absolutely do not want to start a new playthrough! So I step away, going "Well, I can just jump back in when I feel like it... oh, what's this? A *new* Yakuza-game I haven't played yet? Don't mind if I do!"

They pussified the yakuza plats

The original Persona 5 that came out in 2017 had some really tough trophies, especially Futaba's navigation lines trophy, but then it got moved to an Ingame achievement list.

ahm, someone forgot LAD 7.

Only sort of completion i do in these games is whatever is needed to fight amon. After that, everything else acts as a bonus whenever I'm bored. Usually, getting to amon means you've seen the majority of the content the game has to a reasonable extent and got all the major rewards.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but i really liked Gaiden's game size. I mean, as an adult, i don't have that much time to play a game. A game that finishes under 20 hours is a good ride for me. Not only that, but story was a lot more direct. Sometimes i feel the story on Yakuza games take waaaaaaaaaaay too much turnarounds. One or 2 is great, but there are games that the bad guy is good, then bad, then good again, and then holy crap he's the final boss. And the Platinum was also such a good challenge for me. I didn't feel overwhelmed at all in the whole experience. Yakuza 0 in the other hand i specifically remember being stuck for 2 weeks trying to finish the last 3 trophies.... TLDR: I hope RGG start delivering these shorter experiences again. Maybe with other characters that didn't receive much love in recent years. Maybe keep the 'Gaiden' name since it's literally 'side story' in English and deliver us some good stories that didn't get too much explained in the mainline games.

The only platinum ive got so far is like a dragon but I havent played gaiden yet so possibly that'll be the next one, again only if I feel like it, which I probably won't. The only reason I platted 7 (almost twice now cause I frickin love the side content in 7 specifically) is because I just like grinding so it was (mostly) fun. Fuck part time hero though. Maybe when 8 comes out I'll plat it since I'll be grinding my balls off in that game too. It depends on the achievements you have to get for it. Throughout the years I've only got a few plat trophies anyway because it really depends on the game.

I wouldn't be offended if they kept the platinum viability to something of this level, because they still have all the in-game achievements in every game. It'd be pretty easy to make the platinum easier to get, but still give some type of reward for players that went to the trouble of 100% the game. I'm one of the psychos that actually enjoys 100% every LAD game, so I'm probably going to do it regardless, but it would be nice to not have to grind for specific trophies like the seals in Ishin. That was actual hell. Even the 100% list in Gaiden doesn't require you to do/collect everything, so there's still wiggle room in that aspect which was really nice.

See I got this brilliant idea for achievement hunting for the PC version and that being finishing the entire game on legend difficulty with Mouse and Keyboard and name the Achievement "You're not a Real Yakuza" . This way everyone will get the motivation and the pure experience of playing a yakuza game on PC.

100% agree with everything you said man. The Amon stuff in particular bothers me. Like in FF7 Remake specifically, you can use the Götterdämmerung for your hard mode playthrough, which significantly helps you but also rewards the players who did a very difficult challenge. And then later they added the additional challenge with Weiss, but you couldn’t use Götterdämmerung, so it added like another layer of challenge for everyone in a unique way which you could then also use in a hard mode playthrough if you wanted. And, ya know, you could fight those bosses again if you wanted to, unlike Amon lol.

I like doing the platinums because im poor and cant buy new games so this keeps me occupied til i get extra money to buy a new game lol

I have every platinum except for Yakuza 3. I got really burnt out from the minigame master trophy.

So far the only platinum I have for the series is from Like a Dragon. Took me around 70 hours according to the in-game counter. Thankfully it lacked all the stupid minigame completionist stuff from the log. No, I am not learning Mahjong well enough to win consistently in it just to get 100 % in Yakuza.

After platinuming 14 RGG titles, I can honestly say I would’ve preferred a 100% completion trophy. IMO it makes the journey so much more gratifying! However, I do acknowledge that it’s a huge undertaking. So I also wouldn’t mind them streamlining them to be more easier and smoother experience.

to summarize, it's Mahjong

Yakuza 6 was an easy platinum compared to the other Yakuz gams too. I look at the other Yakuza Platinums and am terrified. It felt good getting the Yakuza 6 Plat lol

Just Got The Platinum (My First Yakuza Plat) i Gotta say it's ez and doable it doesn't have the bullshit grind certain minigame (mahjong 🤬) type trophies and no missable ones. Hopefully they keep trophies more simple like this in future games.

the interesting thing about Persona 5 royal Is that they pretty much made the achievements in the game disgustingly easy compared to the original THE amount of nonsense you have to do in the first game is AGONIZING One of the ones I LOATHED getting was the passionate listener trophy. Trying to find out what lines you heard from Futaba was just.......well it WAS NOT FUN O_O They removed a lot of those type of achievements from Royal in large part because we already did this once before. NO need to torture us again

I have never platinum any of these games because i refuse to even look at Mahjong, let alone play it. (Glad to hear the experience isnt as miserable in Gaiden though )

LaD wasn't bad. Apart from a few achievements, it didn't feel like a chore at all.

You forget Yakuza 6 was such an easy platinum. You didn’t need close to 100% of the completion list unlike the previous game and legend difficulty unlocked after the ending and you could just change difficulty and beat the game again and get the legend trophy right away.

Like you I had an easy time doing the one shot challenge the first time. But then I went back to do it for the akame mission and just couldn't do it, that 3rd shot is absurd, seriously screw that pool mini game

Yakuza Like A Dragon's Legend difficulty literally does start every enemy at level 60 like you asked, it's just in terms of stats and not the actual number of their level lol

Based Miguel enjoyer

I remember having to play 15 hours worth of pure Koi Koi just to get the hang of how it works, and then 5 more hours trying to win in Yakuza 5, or the absurd AI in pool. Yakuza 5 genuinely sucked all energy out of me trying to 100% it. Compared to THAT, Gaiden's platinum is a gift from God himself.

Brother collab when?

Having platinum'd all the mainline games + both Judgments (first Judgment, 0, Kiwami 1/2, Y:LaD and Ishin Kiwami twice) I didn't really get burnt out of any of these games, and god forbid how grueling were 3 to 5 remastered... I guess I'm just at a level of nerdiness where I can tank all they have me to do and still enjoy it. I think it's not inherently bad to tie some trophies to minigames and completion lists, but then every minigame needs a cheat item and less grindy requirements (fuckin' baseball in 3 amirite...)

Honestly, I'm not a fan of how so many people are praising Gaiden's platinum for being attainable by everyone and not requiring you to complete everything. The whole thing about platinums was to be there for completionists essentially. There's no benefit to having or not having a platinum on any platform really, and the fact that the last few yakuza games have just nuked any rewards for actually interacting with the completion list, aswell as nuked the actual requirements for completion list things really hasn't helped matters. For me personally, if it hadn't been for the platinum and the completion list, I would never have learned how to play mahjong, shogi, koi koi, oichu kabu and so on. I would have just ignored them entirely. Having them be required was the only reason I touched them, and I've gone on to love playing several of them, to the point that the moment I see them in a new title, the rest of the game ceases to exist because its now just mahjong time. This effect isn't going to happen as much if they continue to insist on things like Akame Network / Part Time Hero, and how there's no benefit to filling them out.

The only thing i hated in gaidens 100% was pool, fuck normal pool puzzle. Should play Mahjong tho

did i just see a based miguel tekken main?

BRO WHY DID THEY MAKE THE PLATINUMS SO EASY

Its a shame completionism in these games isn't for you. Personally, the vast wealth of stuff in these games is the appeal for me. I love all of it, and in my eyes the best way to experience these games is to get immersed in everything they have to offer. For me, RGG doesn't have one single main gameplay style, and the combat is one of the many side dishes the game has to offer, just one required to see the story to its end. I personally can't fathom liking the games as much as you do without enjoying every piece of content in them, but you do you.

That being said, I'm usually someone who tries to finish the completion log as that appeals to me. I could understand Platinum trophies being more accessible like they are with Gaiden if the completion log still fits my needs.

Honestly I agree with the Amon part; Amon has always been either boring or extremely fucking annoying. I'm still pissed about restarting 20 thousand times in Judgment just so I could try to stop my phone from getting stolen. I think the only time I had an alright time with an Amon fight was Kiwami 1, for me it was just "How well can you Tiger Drop" since from what I remember he doesn't do his stupid healing or reduced damage shit. EIther way, I'm insane and 100%'ed every Yakuza/LaD game :)))))

I feel like my decision to platinum Yakuza 0 was a mistake. lol

I am one of those few that has the platinum to FOTNSLP. And yes, I do have PTSD from the experience

I almost have the yakuza 7 plat, but the true final tower one means 20+ hours of grinding hobos in the sewers for class exp and relearning a game i haven't played in like 3 years. Got judgements plat, ended up actually enjoying mahjong but getting absolutely 100% on everything is tedious and im struggling to get into lost judgement because of that. Ishins plat was a bit more fun because it forced a lot of combat, the rng stuff sucks ass, but I enjoyed the combat, so redoing missions for material was still somewhat enjoyable but still tedious.

The game at the very beginning is Final Fantasy XVI if that's the one you're referring to

The only Yakuza game I got platinum in is Yakuza 6. Because no Arcade or Japanese mini games are required to get it. Was relatively easy

Amon has an extra cutscene with Kiryu in the true final millenium tower in LAD. And you can rematch him and get a unique 2nd reward :) It's pretty cool
