The pre-order bonus of the Legends costume set - a collection of outfits reminiscent of Kazuma Kiryu, Goro Majima, Taiga Saejima, Haruka Sawamura, Ryuji Goda, Daigo Dojima, Makoto Date and Kaoru Sayama - is available in all three versions for those who got their copies before they were released. We'll break down the main differences between the two premium editions and help you decide if the extra money is worth it.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon Hero Edition (69,99 $)
The first is the Hero Edition with a $ 10 increase over the base offering. The most important inclusion here is the Job Set, which adds two jobs to the game that characters can use. The stylish Devil Rocker and Matriarch become available through this enhanced edition. As with the other jobs in the game, both additions are gender related. The Devil Rocker can be assigned to male crew members, while the Matriarch is compatible with female teammates. Being able to expand the team to new role variations is likely going to stand out as the determining factor in upgrading to the Hero Edition.
The other component of the Hero Edition is the management mode set. This supplement is linked to the business simulation mini-game called Management Mode. After a certain point in the story, Ichiban will be able to run a business and attempt to elevate his success to Yokohama. The Hero Edition makes the business a little easier by serving a multitude of top-level employees to get things done. The hard-working people who are willing to complete the staff are former characters from the show, such as Daigo Dojima and Yuki. Of course, Kiryu and Majima are also included to lend a hand.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon Legendary Hero Edition (89,99 $)
The Legendary Hero Edition is where the price jumps more noticeably. This version is billed as the all-inclusive choice for Like a Dragon, and it's likely to appeal to longtime fans the most. In addition to the Hero Edition content, the Legendary Hero Edition builds nostalgia with the ultimate costume set. An outfit once worn by Kiryu, Akiyama, Majima, Date and Saejima is provided, giving the new gang a classic look.
The karaoke kit keeps the atmosphere nostalgic. The long-running minigame receives gems from the past, allowing players to indulge in some of the classics once sung by former protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu. The pack is made up of old tracks, one of which even dates back to Yakuza: Dead Souls, as well as some brand new jams. If you've been a fan of the karaoke mini-game, it might be worth investing in the Legendary Hero Edition to complete the tracklist.
The rest of the Legendary Hero Edition includes handy items and time savers. The Stat Boost Set and the Crafting Set are exactly as they sound. The former offers immediate increases in Ichiban's core attributes (passion, confidence, charisma, cuteness, intelligence, and style) in addition to male and female jobs. A small package of healing items and combat boosters is also provided. The Crafting Set offers a long list of Common, Unusual, and Rare crafting materials.
While the last two sets of items can be useful, the real draw for this edition for many will likely come from reminders from previous installments. For those who have been on this wacky adventure for the past decade and a half, the $ 30 bounty may be easy to justify to fit more into the glory of Yakuza's most memorable characters and moments.
Whichever version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon you choose, there's no wrong way to experience the game. The DLCs in the more expensive editions are the glitter on top, but they don't. no case the sundae. Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a great game, with or without a Kiryu costume.
