totally out of order
I played for Yakuza, I stayed for Majima
Yeah, I'm not following what order that poster is putting the games in... it's not chronological nor is it by release. Nearly all of the games do have some info from the past but still.. and 6 isn't a remaster of anything, 6 was only released once and was the first game in the series to use the Dragon Engine.

The order of the story is the order of the titles: 0 happened first, 6 happened, and then (I believe) Judgment, Like a Dragon, and Lost Judgment. The Kiwami games are just remakes of the original 1 and 2. Dead Souls isn't really canon and honestly was nothing more than to cash in on the zombie craze of the time.

As for what order to play them in, that's a hard question to answer. All of the games that don't use the Dragon Engine (Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2) simply feel... archaic. Like they're not bad games by any means but the games just feel like they're a generation or two behind in terms of presentation (loan load times, slow/cumbersome menus, clunky movement/camera, etc.).

I played the original series (Kiryu's) on their original releases (and the Kiwamis too) so I can't speak on Judgment/Like a Dragon but if you do play them chronologically... you're in for a somewhat up/down ride in terms of how game presentation. Yakuza 0 is arguably the best overall game in the series given it's so content rich (and has the best side-missions in caberet club/real estate) but still felt like the presentation was bad. Yakuza 6 with the Dragon Engine (which was also used in Kiwami 2) was the first Yakuza game to actually feel and play like a modern game and was honestly, my personal favorite. I'd honestly re-buy 0 if they re-made that using the Dragon Engine.

I'd probably just play them in chronological order (0, Kiwami 1, Kiwami 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) just because these are story driven games.

All of these are fantastic games, especially Yakuza 0. Took me about 60 hours to finish 0 main story. Yakuza Kiwanis 1 and 2, are less than 20 hours or so. I am wrapping up Kiwani 2 today. Jumped on it, when news came out it was leaving game pass.

Should these be played in any particular order? I was just thinking of getting Yakuza 0, but wasn't sure if there would be a lot of story callbacks I would miss for not playing the other two.

Quote from MOO7 :
I think the chronic induced order is;
Yakuza 0
Yakuza 2(1080p remastered on 🐉 engine)
Yakuza 1
Yakuza 3 (1080p remaster with PS3 Case)
Yakuza 6 (1080p remaster in 🐉 engine)
Yakuza 5 (1080p remaster)
Yakuza Kiwami 1
Yakuza 4 (1080p remaster with PS3 Case)
Yakuza Kiwami 2
Yakuza Lost Judgement
Yakuza Like a Dragon
Yakuza Judgement

But please compare to the Yakuza wiki timeline as some of them maybe off. Great MQS in all of these btw my gateway was Yakuza Like a Dragon for the DQ references and still on it but collecting the rest now 👌🏾

Re-read OP, that order was chronic induced, not chrono.

Start with 0. That is where the whole timeline starts, and is the best of all the games too.
