Once you select a New Game, you'll select your difficulty. Pick whichever one floats your boat. The game will also search your data to find other games you have on your system. If you have any other Yakuza game on your system, you'll get an Ukiyo Bell, an accessory that gives you a little bit of protection. If you have Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise data or Judgment data, you'll get a Gold Plate for each of the two you have, which you can sell for some nice cash.

The opening cutscenes take place in 2009 and show us two things. The first is that our dear protagonist Kazuma Kiryu is now living a life of peace on the sunny beaches of Okinawa. Having assumed responsibility over the "Morning Glory Orphanage", Kiryu is living with his adopted daughter, Haruka, and the other members of the orphanage. A family dinner is interrupted by a local friend, Rikiya, arriving and informing Kiryu that Nakahara has been shot. As Kiryu arrives at the hospital, he discovers that a little girl, Saki, has drawn a sketch of the perpetrator. Kiryu's eyes bug out of his skull as he realizes that the shooter looks exactly like Shintaro Kazama, Kiryu's foster father, who has been dead for four years.

The other thing we learn is about Daigo Dojima, the Sixth Chairman of the Tojo Clan. He is adamant in his refusal of a deal with a mysterious party regarding property in Okinawa, property that Kiryu, the retired Fourth Chairman, now occupies. He does so despite the monetary troubles of the Tojo Clan. As he arrives at Tojo Clan HQ, he's confronted by the man bearing Shintaro Kazama's face, who notes that they already acquired the deed to Kiryu's land without his help. Daigo is then shot by the man.

But forget all that, because we've traveled back to 2007, shortly after the events of Yakuza 2. Kiryu and Haruka are visiting a series of graves, and they are joined by Kaoru Sayama, a policewoman with whom Kiryu got very close in the previous game. Get a good look at Sayama now, because she's about to leave the series forever as she is transferred to America. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Feel free to observe each of the four graves to get a little backstory, then speak to Sayama.

While the two of you say your goodbyes, Makoto Date and Junichi Sudo, detectives on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, are observing the event. Seems the cops ended up with egg on their face after the last game, so they're going to leave things to Kiryu. Kiryu tells Sayama he's leaving the Tojo Clan in Daigo's hands, but Daigo will need someone supporting him. Someone like a certain Goro Majima.
