Yakuza is the first game in the long-running series and the only mainline entry, until 2020's Yakuza: Like a Dragon, to have an English dub.

To do: Tools: CVM Tool to help with converting CVMs to ISO for easier extracting. It's commandline. cvm_tool.exe -p qi2o@9a! split OGRE2.CVM OGRE2.iso OGRE2.hdr (replace name of CVM with the one you want to convert to an ISO and then extract its contents with something like 7-Zip or WinRAR. This also works on Yakuza 2 as well. Add: References to test movies - Test_movie_monkey, test_movie_256, test_movie_pocky Unused audio Regional Differences

Unused Models

playerX.dat

playerX.dat

There is an early model of Kiryu leftover in OGRE.CVM/Player/playerX.dat. It is quite different from the final model, the haircut and suit being completely different.

Debugging Leftovers

There are a few leftovers within the game. The first of these is in main.bin, which appears to be a debug menu of sorts:

PLAYER RESET
PLAYER RESET_CAMERA_TRG
PLAYER COLBALL
ENEMY ERASE
CAMERA CHANGE
LIGHT EDITOR BOOT
YACT PLAY
YACT LIST
CAMERA DATA OUTPUT

ITEM EDITOR
SITEM EDITOR
SCENARIOSTATE EDITOR
TEX VIEWER
PLAYER POS OUTPUT
PLAYER HP MAX
PLAYER HP 1
PAD RUMBLE ON/OFF

Another is a configuration file used for development versions, which is stuffed away in one of the cvm files. This does not appear to be active or recognized in the final game.

Missions

My Lover is a showgirl

During the cutscene that plays after defeating the Tojo Clan members, two subtitles will be in Spanish, when playing in Italian.

Casino Royale

Near the end of the mission, when playing in Italian, the word "quei" (meaning "those"), is misspelled as "quesi".

Regional Differences

• Some character names were changed and/or shortened.
  Shintaro Kazama became Shintaro Fuma, Akira Nishikiyama was shortened to Akira Nishiki, Futoshi Shimano became Futo Shimano, Makoto Date was shortened to Mako Date and Sai no Hanaya/Florist of Sai became Kage.
  These name changes persisted up until the English release of Yakuza 4, where they were restored to their Japanese equivalents (except for Kage who became "Kage the Florist" before finally being properly named "The Florist of Sai" from Yakuza Kiwami onward.)
• The European and Australian versions feature localized English subtitles and menu text. Despite this, pre-rendered main screen text remains in American English, with subtitles contradicting on-screen text occasionally.
