Yakuza 3 Licensed Music Patch

With Kiwami 3, SEGA did not renew their licenses with Z+Music to keep Eikichi Yazawa's songs in the game, unfortunately meaning that it had to be cut.

In turn, RGG Studios instead collaborated with the band ROTTENGRAFFTY to compose Ikizama .

As such, this patch restores Jikan yo tomare in a specific late chapter cutscene, and Omoi ga afuretara in the staffroll.

Furthermore, due to the staffroll being extended in Kiwami 3, LOSER now takes place as the second song in the staffroll. Furthermore, LOSER also replaces the final long battle version of Ikizama, and also replaces the music player version of Ikizama.

This mod currently only supports the Japanese dub. Staffroll to reflect new song credits is currently English text language only.

The LOSER replacement in the final long battle will be an additional download. A patch for Classic Music will also be available.

This mod and its' addons are to be installed with Shin Ryu Mod Manager.

Mod Compatibility: Average

Mods that replace battle themes may clash for the Loser battle replacement, but other features should remain functional. Be sure to download the compatibility patch for Classic Music mod if you wish to hear LOSER in place of Clay Doll on the Cradle.
