Look, I ain't learning Mahjong or Shogi... so anything locked behind those is the hardest trophy

As an American, learning Majong is like attempting to learn computer programming taught by someone who doesn’t speak english

As soon as the Kiwami 1 segment started and I saw the highway, I instantly knew exactly what horrible gaming tragedy was about to be discussed

For the XP in 6, the gym sells amazing XP items that make getting XP insanly easy it costs a lot of one but it's faster than restaurants

The hardest part about the Yakuza 4 Platinum is having to contain the killing urges after globe-trotting across Kamurocho just to avoid the police, twice, for three different playthroughs.

I have 100% on Zero, Kiwami, and Kiwami 2, and I’ve lost all my friends in real life.

kiwami 2's mahjong tournaments hurt

At least you didn't fully complete almost every single thing in Yakuza 5 then realize at some point you somehow discarded a crafting item only available ONCE to Saejima and never again so your almost fully complete Y5 file is ruined forever and CANNOT be finished... That one REALLY broke me and I am still so bitter about it, even THINKING about redoing pool, pachinko, eating all food, all the side stories... It all makes me sick to my stomach. Honestly ridiculous they never patched this and I don't think I'll ever be over it.

I've platted every mainline game in the series and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the hardest thing I did out of every game was expert pool in 3. The slightest touch on the stick was enough to mess up my shot. I spent literal days slaving over trying to get it. I cried actual tears of joy when I finally finished it. Still love Yakuza 3 though lol

The True Final Millennium Tower was hands down one of THE most excruciating things I've ever completed in a game, especially since I only took the time to fully level up one job for all of the characters. Took me well over 20 tries. But as soon as I beat it, I have never had a moment where I was more satisfied, proud, and relieved.

This was a very fun video to look at, I love seeing people being so passionate about the Yakuza series, great work and I hope you eventually do one about the Judgement games and other spin-offs

Not a throphy/achievement but doing all Haruka's requests in Y3 is painful, including near perfect bowling and near the pin golf.

I really enjoyed this video, it was very well made!!! Yakuza is my favorite gaming series since I started with Yakuza 0 in 2020, and I only have 3 Platinum trophies (Yakuza 6, Yakuza LAD PS4 & PS5). I'm close to getting Platinum in some of the others, but it's a pain. My PS4 died a year ago, and my Kiwami 2 and Yakuza 5 save files went with it sadly. If I ever decide to replay those games, I'm going to have to do it from scratch, which sucks. Anyway, great video, and you earned yourself a sub!

One of the hardest trophies for me was the mahjong one for Yakuza 4, the 7 pairs. And if I remember right you have to get stumo instead of Ron.

loved the video keep it up!

Yea this is going to sound masochistic but I plan on Platinuming EVERY single Yakuza game and by that I mean EVERY version. All 36 games. All in completely different languages and control schemes. I adore this series and I really cant get enough of it. Should be an interesting time for sure.

Amazing video! Please do more yakuza related trophies! They are fun to talk about! I know this isnt a trophy and its the 100% for kiwami but,the completion to get every weapon and gear,is one of the worst things i ever done in a yakuza game,and i have the yakuza 0,3,4,6 and like a dragon plats,too much grind for no reason. I feel like like a dragon has a the perfect platinum trophy,it is kinda grindy but atleast the final dungeon is reallyyyy fun so its worth to grind.

Yakuza Like a Dragon was my first game in the series and I absolutely adored it! I got the platinum and everything, and part of me wants to platinum through the whole series before Y8 comes around, but this list is making me second guess myself 😅

I actually didn't have much trouble with the car section in Kiwami. For me, the hardest part of getting 100% in that game was the Pool minigame for Haruka SSS. The ai in that match is quite literally perfect, and if you don't go first, you cannot win.

Sorry the algorithm is really pushing me into your channel now. I *LOVE* some of these completion points. I can't believe that you haven't ranked the Climax Battles from the ones in the series that have it. IMO I'd rather beat the game on Legend a few times than have to play through some of these Climax battles again. Loved 0, Kiwami etc, but man....some of those challenges are rough!

Having plat Y0 to Y7, I have to say Yakuza 3 probably had the most difficult mini games from Darts, Mahjong 50k in one game, and Baseball. Y4 is the longest

9:13 THIS. THIS PART IN THE STORY. the sheer amount of times in my legend run for me to get away from the car segment. the amount of snake triads i had to defeat. awful. p

Wining the 1vs100 fight in the colosseum with Akiyama in Y5 was such a pain in the ass.

Great picks, Id have pretty much chosen the same exact trophies for each (having done the Haruka SSS trust in 1HD, I was glad to see that mentioned, it took many a try to finally perfect!) Though its a spinoff and lacks trophies, Id be curious to see what pick you'd have gone for Kenzan's completion list? Because that has a few insanely tough challenges - the poem cards, the Shogi mini game needing actual Shogi skill to win (or a computer program!) and other mini games requiring basically perfection to complete. Its definitely the hardest 100% to get, in my experience at least. Guess we should be thankful mini game master in 3 remaster dropped Answer X Answer though, as that'd have made it even harder!

Having got the platinum on all ps4 titles (including both judgment games) I knew which ones you mentioned straight away. The hardest and most time consuming for me had to be the millennium tower dungeon in 7. Just grinding the same kamurocho dungeon time and time again to level up jobs were a pain. I must’ve maxed out at least 5 or 6 jobs for each character before finally being able to beat it. I sure hope there isn’t anything like this next time.

I’m glad to say that I platinumed all the games including both judgments

Fire content

I jokingly decided to enter the true final millenium tower with a friend in the party. I say it was a joke because I actually wanted to grind more before doing it (I only had the elemental attacks and level 99 on the main jobs, as well as unmaxxed weapons) After some hours of pain, I was actually about to go through the transition just before kiryu but my controller is hot garbage (dualshock moment) and I accidentally selected the option to LEAVE the tower. My friend laughed his ass off. Then I just went back in and somehow beat Amon first try. Fight literally took over an hour, i was deliberating every turn for even minutes at a time, using my rarest items. After I took out the ads (putting it lightly) and did more damage to Amon, out came the orbital. It wiped EVERYONE, and Ichiban only survived because of the skill that lets him survive a killing blow. Amon used his instakill right after but Ichi survived, I knew I had the accessory that prevents it. I managed to get everyone back into the fight and win. I was really happy because I'd just beat him first try and had just saved myself probably 15 more hours of grinding. The funniest part about this is that I basically did it on a whim, which means that I didn't actually have the instakill protect on ichi. I really could have lost right at the end. TL;DR I beat the True Final Millenium tower on a whim because a friend told me to edit: not as hard as honk-honk

I agree with you in Yakuza 5 and Kiwami 1. Yakuza 5 I finished with 116 hours and it took me like a few months to end the game itself. As for Kiwami 1 the hardest part I can agree with the chapter 9 but THE POOL HARUKA REQUEST give me nightmares for how unforgiving it is. It took me 2 hours of try and error.

One achievement I remember hurting me was the Climax Battles in 4. That time limit made it way harder than any other Yakuza because at least in those I could cheat with health recharge.

Goddamn congrats on getting every single platinum

I've completed Kiwami on legend, defeated amon in 6 and even went through true final millennium tower. I didn't have to to any of that but I did purely just to say "I did that" 😂

I have played all current gen yakuza games 0-7 as well as the judgment games. and i havent platinumed any except for Yakuza 7. It was INSANELY rewarding to beat that dungeon. but as someone who considers themselves a massive yakuza fan. I think not only was it satisfying to beat, but it really helped me be okay with Kiriyu taking the backseat. the extra story content at the end of this dungeon was so satisfying, i wont spoil it but the trophy was probably the least rewarding aspect of beating the True Final Millennium Tower.

I've got every achievement for almost every Yakuza game on Steam with the exception of 3 (and for some reason I bothered to platnium Dead Souls). I do believe there is some logic to the catfights in 0 of what moves certain characters are likely to use, someone compiled their experience online and it was similar to mine but it really does just come down to RNG all the way. I went 4 hours with no wins then got 6 in 2 hours. The worst part though are the misleading QTEs that the game literally cheats to win no matter how quick you are. The Kiwami one is accurate, failed 4 or 5 times before I finally got it. I would also say the Mahjong full straight requirement took me an absurdly longer time than it should have. Kiwami 2 the bouncer missions are perhaps the most tedious thing I've ever went through in any of these games. Runner up being 30 mahjong wins that broke my brain enough to the point where I came to enjoy the minigame. Yakuza 3... I saw golf, I saw how many substories there were, how slow the hostess thing was, how difficult the Kanda fight was on normal and just said no. Yakuza 4 was easy enough but good god, Akiyama's hostess minigame is insanely boring and has a missable achievement. The worst part is that it's apparently 'improved' from Y3. Yakuza 5... yeah there's so much content. It's admirable how much stuff is in the game but damn, did they need to make all of it mandatory for the completion list? Beating the collesium with Akiyama is the chokepoint, if you can win all the tournaments with him then you're probably good to go but pool makes me want to tear my hair out. Y6 pretty easy. Y7 easy but time consuming. Dead Souls is ok but if you want the platnium efficiently, you need to beat the game at least 3 times on different difficulties. There's a turret section on Dead Souls (legend) difficulty that is even worse than the Kiwami section. There's also the tunnels to get to Amon where you need to make your way through 50 floors and if you die it's back to square one. It takes like an hour and a half to actually get to him and the fight is over in less than a minute. Apologises for the stupidly long comment but I had to vent, I could feel my blood pressure rise as I was reliving these clips. Nice video mate.

I can get every achievement so long as mahjong isn't involved in anyway

Climax battles in yakuza zero are pretty hard too

I’m platinum kiwami and like a dragon, going to Zero now, nice vídeo

Quick question about Cat Scratch Fever: in order to get the trophy you have to win ten tournaments in a row?

You should do a similar video like hardest items to obtain in each game

I'll be that guy. Otometal is not hard to get 950 points on. At all.

I started the series on XBox back around June and have been slowly making my way through them in between other games. So far have 0, Kiwami 1 and 2 done and started 3 yesterday. The huge difficulty spikes for random things or tedium definitely sucks.

Great video! Certain minigames and haruka requests still give me ptsd (the grindy minigames too). Honestly Mahjong isn't that bad after you learn it. (even if some lists require extremely lucky high point hands or specific hands) still fucking despise pool with all my heart though. 100% the main games was fun. but now that judgment is on pc i will have to do em both. (as a fake yakoozer pc player i cant comment on the car chase since it's piss easy on the keyboard but it did give me bad memories from 100% the dmc hd collection (the final boss for dmc 1 also had a shitty fucking space harrier mechanic like bayonetta)

The True Final Millennium tower is crazy. That Orbital laser being used against you, damn. lol

kiwami 1's chapter 9 was a complete nightmare

Minigame master still haunts me to this day. First Yakuza Plat and probably my last for now.

I Have already Platinumed 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2. All I need are 5 more and I've done it. And Yakuza 5's platinum trophy is....probably the worst thing I've ever done. It feels endless and I fear the idea of missing one thing making me unable to finish it. Plan to do the same with the judgment games. Wish me luck. I did it......189 hours and an accidental overrided save file on legend difficulty and I have Finally Platinumed yakuza 5. Yakuza 3 is next.

underrated video

Haruka's bullshit made me forget that nightmare of a highway section

I had already plat zero, kiwami 1 and kiwami 2. Now I’m going for yakuza 3 remastered

I played through the pool mini-game in 3 for 6 straight hours without knowing about the pen trick to get completion - but that wasn't that bad because I fell into a certain rythm with it. I can't deciede berween the JCC trophy or the Legend Trophy for Kiwami 1 for the most difficult. That's a battle between pure RNG and mastering of a completly different mechanic from the main game that did not need to scale it's difficulty with the overall difficutly at all. (Thanks for the shout out btw)

Oh God that car chase In kiwami one on legend had lau's theme burned into my mind to this day and I still had to switch controls to beat it

I'm interested for a video on the hard spin-off game trophies

Do you have the platinum for all the spinoffs as well? I've been playing the Japanese Ishin (before it was even announced it was getting remastered), and I've been really loving it and playing it with friends and such. The platinum is so tedious with the language barrier. You wouldn't wanna divulge your secrets would you? :p

Puyo Puyo mean bean machine challenge made me drop the Judgement Platinum after having completed everything else. Edit: As for people struggling with the remastered version of Yakuza 3 pool. I found a method that involves tying your right Analog stick with a rubber band then around, between the touch pad and options button. Yes, it looks dumb, but it actually stablises your shot. As long as you dont pull too hard. But then again a gentle flick is all that is required to win against Seiji Fucking Nakazato. Fuck that dude for reals.

fun fact, true final millennium tower was originally a dlc in the japanese release. …..so thank the devs for making it free and apart of the base game when it got localized.

I started the series from 0 and going in order 5 years ago. I just finished 3 and really struggled with it as I wouldn't let myself move on unless I platinum it. But after watching your video, no way in hell am I going through 100% completion trophy in 4 and 5. It was already tedious enough doing it in 0.

Got all yakuza platinum and i m proud to had it all since its my top 1 favourite franchise.

Right now i am replaying yakuza 0(My favorite game btw) and trying to Platinum is really hard and frustrating sometimes (arcade games and mahjong) but it's really Fun and satisfying and i won't give up

I've done 0, kiwami, 4 and 5 for platinum. Currently doing 3 after 1.5 years ago finishing it, even tho it's not my favorite. 0 was the first platinum and imo the hardest thing was the space harrier and fantasy zone minigames. I literally kept an 8 month break because I couldn't beat it. (Note the pc version has it much harder than the console). The second thing that comes to mind is that Majima climax battle in the sewer, took me days. Kiwami, I remember screaming at the pocket racing a lot, but the legend car chase was the most memorable. I knew it what it was going to be and felt like giving up the whole thing, but then I took the mentality of patiently grinding it and I definitely remember my hands shaking when I finally beat it and it felt amazing. 4, might be the 2nd best after 0 imo. Remember doing a 7 hour speedrun for the normal difficulty, which was fun. Also the summer memories, which is still giving me some flashbacks, because I started trying that somewhere around 7 pm nonstop and got it at 2 am on my last try before going to sleep. The most difficult thing probably was (or at least the most memorable) the saejima's 4th pupil in the fighting school. I don't get along with many people, so you can imagine how infuriating that character was, and even more how stupid and useless he was in fights. I think that took me days to beat also, but when I finally did, I almost felt proud in a weird way. I don't remember was this even necessary for the trophies, but I did 100% anyway for the completion list. 5, I disagree with the amount of stuff being too much, I liked that there was much to do. I don't recall anything exceptionally difficult, tho maybe the coliseum with akiyama and shinada. And the akiyama's hostess after the first visit made never want to return there, I hate when people lie just to look good. Pretty sure there was also some climax battles I struggled with and other stuff I don't remember atm.

Lucky me, the Xbox version of Yakuza 3 doesn't have the broken stick issue with Pool and Darts, so they weren't nearly as bad. Pool was still an absolute pain, though.

I think I lucked out immensely with the Cat Scratch Fever trophy. It wasn't THAT bad for me (always pick Jennifer or the Brazilian girl). Learning Mahjong from scratch took much more time and energy than that. Now the shooting section for Kiwami actually made me think I wouldn't get the platinum. I think I had to redo the whole Chinese restaurant and Lau Ka Long's boss fight at least eight times. It was hell.

When I worked service industry there was a customer who'd come in to show me his Yakuza platinums as he got them. He told me he got really good at Mahjong to the point he had started playing it casually

I just platinumed Y7 true final dungeon was so hard but worth it , i love how when Amon summoned guard order Kiru just stand there until you kill one of them

Currently grinding for the True Final Millennium Tower. Good video

Hardest achievment in the yakuza series : anything involving mahjong

I'm going for platinum on yakuza 5 at the moment, I've done 0 through 4 and my hardest moments so far was yakuza 0 cat club BS, kiwami 1 shooting section, yakuza 3 mahjong and recently yakuza 5 pachinko

Serious commitment to plat all of them, not only tough but very time consuming. I'm hoping I might manage to do Y6 but have put it on hold for God of War Ragnarok 🤣 The baseball stuff drives me mad in all the games though. The only aspect of the games I've NEVER really got to grips with One thing though: I've seen other vids showing action from the 'cat fights' and they seem fine. There isn't any true nudity, just implied.

Found this Video in my recommended and it’s gonna take a while to complete all of them, but it should be simple enough with guide and practice. I’m almost done with Yakuza 0 just a few more achievements left before I’m done with it.

I may not adore Yakuza 3 Remastered...but I certainly enjoyed getting the platinum (currently working on getting the Platinum for Like a Dragon)

Pachinko was an absolute nightmare for me in yakuza 5, the rng was never on my side, so much so that I probably spent 7 to 9 hours in this minigame alone.

Lol. Thanks for this video as i now know which Yakuza series to "avoid" first then to concentrate first. My first RGGS game was actually Judgment, followed by FOTNS:LP then Lost Judgment. My FIRST Yakuza game was then Y0 (which i already plat it) For me in Y0, the car chase segment and JCC trophy is not that hard (well for me anyways). Some of the frustrating part in Y0 for me was actually completing Outrun & Fantasy Zone. Followed by the Poker then some battles in Climax. For YK1, i admit that car chase segment on legend is quite a bit annoying. But the most frustrating part is Haruka request on Rotation Pool Expert & definitely Climax Battle Melee ground 10 (where you need to fight through Tojo HQ) I am starting YK2 tomorrow, so yeah. Maybe after that, i will moved on to 4, 6, then 7. I will only start 3 and 5 once the rest had been plat.

I'm trying to platinum all the Yakuza games right now so this is like homework for it

While JCC is def mostly RNG I will say that it's actually not "as" bad because if you pay attention to the bottom of the screen before you choose your fighter then it'll say their moods which will let you know if they're more likely to activate their ability and more likely to get rainbow attacks. And exiting and entering will reset the moods. Also pretty much always choose the option that will lose to their weakest option so if you lose you'll be getting the least amount of damage (so choose rock everytime if their paper is 2 stars and the other 2 are 4 stars). Lastly I've been mainly choosing in between Jennifer (overall "strongest" fighter and can get some guaranteed damage in at the beginning), Francisca (overall strong and comeback ability), Momoko (overall strong and regen ability), and lastly Maria (weak but come back ability and the added plus if you win you get a lot more money). This is just what I've learned (and also coming from someone who has won the billion yen challenge by predicting each match outcome several times). Hope this helps for anyone struggling!

I actually got the platinum for 7 just last weekend. Been grinding both job levels and boost items for almost a month, just to raise my survival rate on the true final millennium tower, but was worthy!

As someone who did 100% on Zero and Kiwami, I can say that the most nightmarish part is the torture of extended grinding at the mercy of RNG, like mahjong win conditions (or 90% of minigames in general) and absurd tasks like climax battles.

im on yakuza 5, have been for year now I play on and off but im playing every game in order for the first time as I never experienced yakuza on ps2 although I've always seen it; its gunna be nice platinuming all 7 games

Maybe I just got lucky, but for the car chase in Kiwami, I only struggled until I realized the car you are in is meant to be a shield from incoming damage. I had just been brute-forcing it up until that point by tanking all damage myself, but once I started taking cover when I wasn't going to take out an enemy in time, I actually beat it first try. For my initial playthroughs of 0 and Kiwami I never did that, but that was because I didn't need to. For Legend in Kiwami, this is a mechanic you must take advantage of, as the car can sustain way more damage than you can. But like I said, maybe I got lucky doing it first try.

as someone who has te cat scratch fever but not the platinum for yakuza zero i see this as an absolute win 😂 i had a blast doing jcc for a reason back when i played the game wich brought me to getting this .

Really curious before doing JCC I looked up how to go about that trophy and read some things online and went through various posts about what people did to make it easy on themselves and I have to say I got that achievement very easily on Xbox One

I ran through 0-7 this year, I only got my platinum in 6-7, I’m set up to go back and do the others at any time, but man it’s rough. I think I’m under 50% on the remasters also. 😩

When I was 10, I completed all 70 something of the bouncer tasks, and I breezed through it.

I love these games so much, my psn name is a reference and I have majima and kiryu tattooed on my arm, but getting the platinum for the games is probably not gonna happen, I don’t want my opinion to sour on the games from tedious stuff, so I play the games for the sub stories and defeat Amon that’s usually my stopping point. The one game I could probably platinum is 6 as I only am missing the legend difficulty trophy which won’t be too bad, next time I play through the series I think for that one I’ll crank the difficulty up and try and get at least one of the games platinum

An hour ago I got the Hall of Famer achievement of Y5, It was an experience lmao (I even got it before finishing the story)

Finally received platinum in Yakuza 5 Remaster. It was the hardest for me. I've also get 0-4 Yakuza platinum. Planning to relax on Yakuza 6

literally the achievement of yakuza 7 is the most brutal trophy I had to do to platinum a game

13:10 Thanks to K2 I started listening to SiM and it was 100% worth. Hadn’t even heard of them before playing it but now I love their music

I got the 100% completion achievement, but didn't get all of the achievements in Yakuza 0, however, I did get the JCC achievement and my god, getting that one was a nightmare

The fact that I first try the car chase scene in kiwami 1 on legend mode

Man I did 0-4, 7, and the judgment games platinums. I reinstalled 5 and saw what was left waiting for me and I just said NO WAY. It saddened me but I do not have the patience for that long haul after the previous games lol.

Do one for the judgment series (kinda small since there are only 2 games but maybe do a top 3 of each game)

Is the car chase really that bad? I found it really easy, the hardest part was probably Shimano for me

It took me 3 years to learn Mahjong now I'm a pro.

Haven't watched the full video since I've only played and platinumed 0 and Kiwami so far, but fuck the Catfight/Mesuking minigame. I hope they are not in any of the later games. Also, for anyone planning to plat Kiwami,make sure to fill your inventory with shotguns before fighting the Snake Flower Triad on legend difficulty. It makes getting past them much faster if you keep failing the car chase.

In yakuza 5 I started to do the hard achievement in the complition list in PA mode I spent a week to only find out that I missed achievement and I must play it in NG+ but the problem is that if you enter PA mode you can't play NG+ and everything I did it was for nothing

I learned about the True Millennium Tower one the hard way, walked into the first fight at lv 85 and took 1200 damage, its the last achievement i need, im currently grinding the levels

I did the you're not welcome trophy last night it legit took me around 5 hours to beat them all, those last 3 missions can get in the bin

I have the platinums for Kiwami 1 and Like a Dragon. Games are really enjoyable however it stopped being fun when I had to learn how to play Mahjong because I felt like I had to learn to get the trophy instead or learning because the gane looks interesting. Everything else is fine, is a 1 player game so you can eventually get all things done. For Like a Dragon doing the tower was pretty much luck I think. Equip sacrifice stones to each character, put lightning protection for Amon satellite attack and use Mr. Masochist one turn before Amon uses the satellite, I think it's when his life at 25% left.

9:54 I mean you could save before the car scene in 0.. but there’s a fight immediately after where you have to protect Makoto and if you fail that…. You restart the whole car chase again

Nice presentation. I agree with some trophies especially with those from Yakuza Kiwami, 3 and 5. But IMO, trophies from Kiwami 2, 6 and 7 are easy. They're also the "easier" platinums in the entire series.
