As someone who's never played any Yakuza game, what even is this series? Are you not playing as a Japanese gangster or something? Why are you now an actual pirate?
Yakuza is a very japanese game.
It is has a serious narrative about crime, politics, family issues, corruption and honor. And in the next scene you're spending thousands of dollars (yens?) on a custom toy car to win a slot car championship or building your own go kart and race against other gangster.
Let's just say that this is not too out of the ordinary.
