PIctured above is Fantasy Zone for arcades, a franchise of scrolling shooter games similar to Gradius. The Yakuza franchise has routinely offered Sega games as playable within Yakuza titles, and Yakuza Zero will continue that tradition. Gematsu writes that Fantasy Zone, car racer Outrun, rail shooter Space Harrier, and motorcycle racer Super Hang-On will be featured as playable extras within Yakuza Zero’s Game Center. Taking advantage of the PS4-Vita crossplay features, these games will also be playable on the Vita through a special app, just like Yakuza Ishin.
In other news, Yakuza Zero will feature a new leveling-up system where money is used to enhance characters instead of experience points. There are a variety of mini-games through which money can be earned in Yakuza Zero, such as a Batting Cage minigame. However, players can also earn money by executing flashy attacks in battle. Beyond that, both of the playable characters have special money-earning systems unique to their scenarios.
Kazuma Kiryu’s system is “Kamurocho Money Island”, where players use money and relationships to apparently either increase stake in or outright own various businesses and making money off of renting property to them. It seems that, if players wish to make full use of this system, it’s possible to consolidate and monopolize businesses conditions and the public order, which must be challenging to accomplish. Goro Majima’s story will feature the “Soutenbori Night Life Trade Island”, where players operate a cabaret club with the goal of eventually becoming the best one in the region. There are 30 hostesses to choose from who will be integral to achieving this goal
