Majima is best Yakuza.

Bought Yakuza 3 after playing a demo. Loved it so much, but I foolishly gave up on it after one fight with a dude wearing a red suit in a office. If I can beat him, I'll finish the game and buy the other games that I'm missing out on.
Wow, I can't believe how little attention this video got. Is it because it's nearly 52 minutes long?
Anyway, I started the series a few weeks ago and I already love it to death. Unfortunately, I started it with 4, since it's on PSN and only $20, so I was pretty lost on most of the Yakuza lore. Going back through the older games is tougher now that I've seen how much better it gets.
On that note, Yakuza 5 can't come soon enough. It looks like a massive step up from 4, what with the new engine improved combat, and new environments. I'm desperately hoping for Ishin and Zero to make it overseas eventually.

Probably not since the series has always been Sony exclusive as far as I recall.
I always dreamed of doing a long ass concentrated video talking about my favourite video game franchise but I can't believe someone actually managed to do it.
Is there any way of getting the games with the original Japanese audio? I have nothing against English dubs but these games in particular seem like they work better with the original audio.
The only one with a dub is Yakuza 1, and I don't think there's an option for Japanese audio in anything other than the original Japanese release.

Is 1 good enough to play bearing that in mind or could I just look up a plot summary and go straight into 2?

The first one is great.
Personally the voice acting even began to grow on me a little after a certain ball gag.
Yakuza 2 is the overall weakest in the series imo, but it's still very good.
