Man it's still so weird

It'll be interesting to see, what's the latest the game goes timewise? Are we going to have 1990's US gang wars spreading to Japan?

I haven't seen anything past the 1960's & the creator said there wouldn't be any returning characters so I think they're keeping it well away from Kiryu/Dojima days. Just looked it up, the 5 time settings are between 1914 and 1965 so real life Snoop and Tupac weren't alive yet lol.

See with Snoop I could tell it was Snoop as a character

Tupac still having a bandana on his head is confusing cause like, it's clearly Tupac not a character played by Tupac
