![]() You control control Kazuma Kiryu as he kicks seven shades of sake out of the Japanese criminal underworld. Kiwami is a retelling/remake/remaster of the first Yakuza game, with all the gameplay updates brought in with 0. If you’re yet to experience the world of Yakuza, 0 is one of two perfect jumping on points. The decision to set 0 before the events of every other game allowed the franchise to get out from under the weight of its own history, and cater to new fans by offering a standalone adventure. Then you’ve got the odd zombie game thrown in for good measure, but let’s not talk about Dead Souls, eh?ĭespite Yakuza having 8 games in the series released in the West, it feels like the franchise has only begun to get mainstream recognition in the West with the release of Yakuza 0. Yakuza at its heart has always been an RPG beat ‘em up that just so happens to be a crime story. Sure, it’s about criminals and there’s free roam elements, but that’s missing the point entirely. When it was first released on the PS2, people mistakenly referred to the game as GTA meets Japan. The main hero of the Yakuza series, Kiryu has been cracking skulls and clotheslining criminals on the streets of Kamurocho for over a decade, but Yakuza itself has largely flown under the radar over here. ![]() The large monitors in The Florist's surveillance room in the original Yakuza game are branded "Kabuki," a reference to Kamurocho's real-life equivalent Kabukicho.If you were to ever compile a list of protagonists that rate highly on the “getting shit done” index, Kazuma Kiryu would be approaching top three.He says that like the biblical myth, it is situated underneath West Park, which was like a heaven for the homeless, and above a group of gambling rooms for the rich that they considered hell. In Yakuza 3, a homeless man reveals to Kiryu where the term "purgatory" comes from.The Florist requests Akiyama to protect the district from a swarm of incoming zombies, and in return gives the characters information as to the cause of the zombie outbreak. Characters access the district from a manhole cover in Children's Park and must travel through a zombie-infested sewer and disused subway line to reach it. The Florist has decided to make Purgatory a refuge for those seeking shelter from zombies. This smells so bad it might come in handy in a fight. Hell, the boss used to swing a mean umbrella. Like this Black Umbrella? You could probably use it for a weapon. Staminan X slightly charges up your HEAT and recovers health. There is a General Store run by the Suspicious Man stood near the Kamurocho Hills entrance. Kiryu and Taiga Saejima are able to open these with brute force, whereas Shun Akiyama and Masayoshi Tanimura must use a special tool. ![]() While Purgatory is in his care, Majima starts to redevelop West Park into Kamurocho Hills.Ĭonstruction of Kamurocho Hills necessitated the demolition of the old subway station entrance, so now characters must open a manhole cover located in the Shichifuku Street Parking lot to access it. In Yakuza 2 and Yakuza Kiwami 2, the Florist leaves Purgatory in the care of Goro Majima after choosing to rejoin the police, and he monitors the city from an office in the Millennium Tower until he eventually chooses to return to Purgatory. The Florist then agrees to give him the information in exchange for winning three fights in the Coliseum. The Florist initially says that Kiryu will not be able to afford his services, but Date implores him to cut a deal. Kiryu is accompanied by Makoto Date, and The Florist comments about how it was Date who got him kicked out of the force for taking bribes for information. Kazuma Kiryu first meets The Florist here to try and find out about Mizuki. ![]() In this game, Purgatory is accessed from a street entrance to the old subway station in West Park. He uses these to gather intelligence for his underground information network. Underneath the Florist's office, there is a bank of monitors linked to hidden cameras strategically positioned throughout Kamurocho. It is designed to resemble a traditional Japanese pleasure district. Purgatory is home to brothels, a casino, and an illegal fighting arena. It is based in an old subway station on a disused line. Purgatory was opened by the former police detective turned private information dealer known only as The Florist of Sai at some point between 19.

“OK Ian”, you cry, “but surely human behaviour is more complex than The Iceberg Model of Consciousness?” Well, yes of course it is. Secondly, they provide after the event validation that what we did was ‘right’ or not. Firstly, they provide us with upfront motivation. Suddenly what was important to me in my life changed.Īccording to David Shephard of the Performance Partnership, our values do two important things. My own values changed on the day I became a father. Again, they can (and do) change over time as we live our lives. You might rarely question your beliefs because they are deep in your iceberg.įinally, and strongly linked to beliefs, are your values. While a belief might not be true, you will probably act as if they are. What if I had not shaken that one off? (Don’t go there!!!). For example, there was a time when I believe when I was eight years old. In fact, if I had held on to some of my beliefs they would have actually made me less resourceful. Speaking personally for a moment, many of my beliefs have changed over time so maybe they are not, in and of themselves, true. The problem was that I took what she said to be true and they had a limiting effect on me. She also told me not to expect too much out of life so I didn’t and sure enough, I didn’t. ![]() As a young boy, I remember my Mum telling me that I would not like certain foods – and sure enough I didn’t. Many of the beliefs people hold to be true were put there by well-meaning folks called parents. We have borrowed Tony Robbins‘ definition of a belief as being ‘a meaning of certainty’ about something religion, society, politics, money, relationships and much more besides. At a deeper, more unconscious level lie your beliefs and values. So, what lies below your thinking in your iceberg? Well, for me this is where it gets really interesting. Might this have an effect on the way you are feeling? Of course.īy the way, folks, while you are arguing whether the glass is full or empty, someone just might sneak in and drink it! ![]() Would this shape the way that you felt? We believe it would.Īt the other extreme, of course, you might have a more glass half empty, pessimistic pattern of thinking. So, at one extreme you may have a predominantly optimistic way of thinking. So, what drives your feelings? Well, using ‘The Iceberg Model of Consciousness’ we would argue that it’s probably your thoughts or thinking patterns. If you are feeling ‘down’, do you think it might just show in your behaviour? Oh yes! These obviously affect what you do and can change very quickly depending on the circumstances you find yourself in. Just below the waterline lie your immediate, minute-by-minute feelings. The drivers or roots of your behaviour lurk unseen below the waterline. If you like, this is the ‘external’ you that is visible to everybody else. The 10% of the iceberg that is above the waterline is your behaviour what you do and say – and how you do and say it. The deeper drivers of our behaviours – the other 90% – lie submerged in our subconscious or unconscious mind. The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water. Freud contested that our conscious behaviour is only the visible 10% of our psyche – the tip of the iceberg if you like. Iceberg Model of ConsciousnessĪpparently, the idea of the iceberg model comes from Sigmund Freud‘s Iceberg Model of Consciousness. Have YOU ever done something and thought how stupid or crazy you were for doing it? Well, whatever they or you did, the behaviour that was exhibited had roots. Have you ever seen anyone do something that in your opinion was crazy or stupid and thought to yourself “Why on earth did that do that?” Of course, you have we all have!īut, consider this. We also love how it explains in fairly simple terms the complexity of human behaviour. We have used Ron’s Iceberg in our training for over 20 years now and delegates have loved it because, we believe, it really helps to understand people better. We call the model ‘Ron’s Iceberg’ because it uses the analogy of an iceberg to explain the roots of a person’s behaviour and the guy who told us about it many years ago was a guy called Ron! ![]() Well, it got me thinking about a model called ‘The Iceberg Model of Consciousness’ that my colleagues at Eagle Training and I use in many of our leadership and management programmes to explain why people do the things they do. Recently I wrote a weekly tip about the rise of the ‘ Covidiot‘ and posed the question of why some people can do such bad, negative, anti-social (insert your own adjective here) things.
