Hidden and Cut Content in Yakuza Games (7, 0, K1, K2)

I started having a look at the Like a Dragon files and found some interesting stuff. So, I thought I’d do the rest of the games I owned on PC :) I used QuickBMS to extract all of the files into the file browser so I could view them as images. They were all DDS files, so I used an intel plugin with Photoshop in order to view and edit some of the ones that I couldn't see with just the default Windows photo viewer and then would save them as PNGs to put into Premier.

Every single thing in this video has been clarified in the comments so you do not need to comment. Thank you to those that did, though :).

Thanks for coming down here. Firstly, I tried to optimise the text as much as possible so you hopefully shouldn’t have to pause all too much. If you feel like I didn’t give you enough time to look at something it was most likely because it’s not all too interesting. I tried to make it that all the text could be read without pausing so try not to pause all too much because then you won’t enjoy the video. If it’s still too fast for you then lol RIP sorry but if I gave everyone more time to look at everything the video woulda been WAY longer. Could have done commentary, yeah, but then the video woulda been way, way worse. Trust me.

For clarification, Like a Dragon didn’t have all too much so I instead used its section to basically demonstrate what we’re looking at here. I didn’t delve into models much but that’s because normally they’re just obvious test files or things you actually see in game. I didn’t look at textures either because for the most part they literally had nothing on them besides what you actually see as well. Couldn’t look at source code ‘cause I didn’t really know how. I also purposefully didn’t show things that were already on the Cutting Room Floor pages for the respective games (except for maybe 1 thing). The pages on the games are super baron, but they at least have some things lol.
