Here it is, if you've guessed that my previous project teaser was a Yakuza 6 fanmade intro, you guessed right. With the help of many friends who helped me shape this into what it currently is, here's my take on a Yakuza 6 intro. I started this project since around September of last year using the Japanese version of the game to get the cutscenes, and a mix of the English trailer(s) as well as the Japanese game for some of the gameplay footage. I tried to take lessons from the intros that are made in the Yakuza games to deliver something of a similar nature for Yakuza 6 seeing as it does not have its own intro.

I've tried taking several things into account when making it, such as making sure the flow of the music as well as the scenes chosen go hand in hand to provide a more pleasant visual and auditory experience, as well as what is and what isn't a blatant spoiler. Normally even by official intro standards, there are teasing scenes that are somewhat spoilers but the fact that you don't know the context for any of the scenes shown doesn't entirely make what you see spoilers, I tried to do the same thing for this intro where you'll see some scenes that tell you something, but not the full story behind it. Naturally, using the whole soundtrack would've made the intro a little too long, so I tried to shorten it to a degree that would be acceptable to use in an intro, and i'm quite happy with how it turned out. I couldn't heavily alter and edit the scenes more than I already have to retain that same feel the intros usually have; as you may know, the intros in other games don't have any fancy editing or anything like that.

I also tried to captivate certain themes in the intro, mainly the two themes of "Family" and "Disaster", seeing as 6 is a game that has a lot of emotional impact especially the more Yakuza games you played and depending on how much you cherish the series and how much the characters have grown on you. Me personally, I started with the very first Yakuza game on the PS2, and so playing even just the Japanese version of the game and watching the cutscenes had more impact on me than any other Yakuza game, which is why I was even more excited to play this game in English and see what it's all about.

I hope you like my take on the intro and most importantly thank you all again for sticking with me until this far, I know it's probably cliche to say seeing as you've most likely heard tons of other channels saying something of a similar nature but I never imagined i'd come close to having 10,000 dedicated followers who also share my passion for this wonderful franchise but here we are today with that very occurrence before us. Seriously, thank you all for always stopping by and sharing your thoughts which is one of my best parts about this whole channel thing, I love reading your comments whether they're funny or even just honest appreciation, I appreciate it all. Boy, this has to be like the longest description I've ever made but if you're still reading this then thank you, LOL. Anyways, with that said, I hope you like this sub special!
