I took the Yakuza 1 Reminiscience recap video from Yakuza 3 & 4 and made a shot-for-shot recreation of it with footage from Yakuza 1's remake, Yakuza Kiwami. Any visual faults are based on the same issues in the original.
Some interesting things I learned while working on this:
*The close-up of Haruka when she's Lau's hostage originally panned down from her head to her chest, then zoomed in to emphasise the pendant being missing. In Kiwami, this shot is now static.
*Some shots differ in timing and speed, such as Shimano smoking and Kiryu falling from the Tojo HQ window. This could just be from the recap and not the actual game; I've not checked.
*The shot of Millenium Tower is ridiculous. There are three establishing shots of the tower to my knowledge: Reina telling Kiryu about it, Kiryu and Haruka approaching it for the first time, Kiryu and Haruka setting off for the twoer for the finale. It seems that, rather than using one of those shots, the editor of the video chose to take a screenshot of the tower from the instant before the bomb goes off, zoomed in and set it to pan vertically. It's fucking madness!
*Haruka is way more adorable in Kiwami than the original.
