I think most people have Yakuza 0 as the best in the series.
So a new Yakuza game starring Majima is a great idea. And the pirate concept looks fun. Maybe it'll even be one of the best pirate games ever.

Only one potential issue:

Translators are at it again, 'romanticizing' the language when no such thing is present in the original Japanese version.

He said "Yosha!" (ようしゃ) which basically just means "Alright!"
But the translators turned it into "Avast ye, scallywags! Hoist the colors!"

If it doesn't occur often then I guess it won't be an issue adding some pirate flare here and there.
I plan to make a separate thread on this in the future though, because it's been happening in quite a few games in recent times. Unicorn Overlord being a prime example where I as an English speaker had no idea what I was reading a lot of the time. While the Japanese version had normal language.
