The Significance and Differences of Like a Dragon: Ishin!

Considering that everyone and their mum has been saying "play this game" I don't think I need to convince you to play it. However, there's a fair bit of behind the scenes history involved with this game, as well as MANY differences between it and the original version of this game.

This video contains as many of the differences that I could observe that range from obvious ones to subtle ones you wouldn't know if you didn't play the original. I didn't think to mention (but that's not because it's unimportant) all of the new accessibility features added into that game. It also has a new title screen and a lot of UI changes I didn't mention. So yeah it's got those.

UPDATE: The Rhapsody of Chivalry (任侠狂詩曲) from the original game has been replaced in the story by Town Bully from Yakuza 6. However, it's still in the game and can be heard in a lot of the climax battles or ultimate challenges or whatever they're called.

UPDATE 2: Ultrawide and uncapped frame rates have been FIXED thanks to this mod that works perfectly https://github.com/Lyall/IshinFix

UPDATE 3: Ayo the Ultrawide UI problem and the horrendous stuttering have both been completely fixed by the devs. Woohoo!
