Hey everyone!

This is what is happening with "Yakuza Fridays".

It all started with our BGCA fundraiser for the holiday season 2023, the community unlocked me trying the Yakuza franchise and community goals since then unlocked me playing the rest of the main franchise of them. Now I'm hooked!

I am playing through the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise main games from 0 through current releases. Only on Fridays (except 1 exception so far when we only had a couple hours left of Yakuza 5 last year so I beat it on one of my Saturday streams.) I don't stream every Friday no matter what because life has gotten in the way. During this time frame I've traveled, gotten married, had 5 deaths that mattered to me happen, taken time off to help family, moved myself and dealt with loved ones' estates, traveled for several conventions, and more. Some of that has taken me away for several Fridays over the time since we started Yakuza Fridays haha.

I don't own all of the Yakuza titles yet - the first half I played on Game Pass before they were removed last year (which caused its own lapse in Yakuza Fridays while I got that sorted out haha) so I can't revisit those, and I don't own titles like Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii, Judgment + Lost Judgment, etc. yet so we're not gonna worry about those until we get there.

How I've been playing so far:

• Yakuza 0
  - My first Yakuza/Like A Dragon title! Started January 5th (2024) and beaten in March
• Yakuza Kiwami
  - Started March and beaten in April 
• Yakuza Kiwami 2
  - Started May and beaten in September
• Yakuza 3 Remastered
  - Started September and beaten in November
• Yakuza 4 Remastered
  - Started in November and beaten on January 3rd (2025)
• Yakuza 5 Remastered
  - Started January 12th and beaten July 19th
• Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
  - Started on July 25th and beat it on October 3rd.
• Yakuza: Like A Dragon
  - Started on October 10th and beaten on April 17th 2026

Next will be:

• Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
  - Because it is concurrent to Yakuza: Like A Dragon

Then we'll move on to:

• Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
• Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
  - Hopefully 🤞🏻 
  - It's supposed to take place following the events of Infinite Wealth so we're not in a rush to get there until we get through TMWEHN and Infinite Wealth anyway.

I'm considering doing depending on availability when we get done with everything above:

• Judgement
• Lost Judgement
• The other side content that has been made. I'd even love to try the Streets of Kamurocho freeware if I can get my hands on it somewhere still.

Thanks for coming along for this ride!

For anybody looking for my deep dive timelime and lore notes, that I have to fill out a bunch more: This lives here!
