One thing I also realized is the difference between real world development date, release date and in came chronology.
So Chronological vs North America release date wise, Kiwami is a remaster of an original and chronologically earlier than the first Yakuza games released in NA. But in Japan it was released before the games that showed up in North America.
I got confused by this too. For a while I was confused why the Kamurocho map was so much smaller and seemed so bare bones vs games that were translated and released in North America earlier than Kiwami. Until my friend explained that although it was one of the latest Yakuza releases in North America, it was one of the first in the whole series in Japan.
