Stranger Than Heaven: The Most Important Events in Its 5 Eras Explained

A key strength of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series is its uniquely Japanese viewpoint – even when the games take place outside of Japan, they’re always presented through a Japanese cultural lens.

Knowing about these periods could give us clues about the story and atmosphere of the game, even though it will likely take some creative freedoms.
