Turns out this release is indeed fully DRM free, and its executable also works with an English version! Well, almost, and to get what's the catch you need to watch with sound on.

I hope it's patchable, as DRM free exes > no-CD exes all the way I may have jumped the gun a little, it seems more broken than it seemed at first.

SilentPatch for The Definitive Editions? Let's see:
* Take-Two/Rockstar took down mods, in hindsight almost definitely seeing them as a "threat" to those releases
* re3/reVC lawsuit hasn't even properly started yet
* Original games are gone
* There's been 0 information on...(1/4) * ...those releases pre-release, and looking at the current gameplays this almost seems deliberate.

Now an absolute banger - Virtua Fighter 5 in Yakuza 6 and Yakuza LAD appears to be FULL CONSOLE VERSION 😱 By default, it can only boot to Arcade Mode or VS Mode directly, but boot it to mode 0 and this happens. Netplay/leaderboards/achievements obviously don't work... (1/2) ...and the in-game pause menu is a bit broken because of a forced Yakuza pause menu, but other than that it seems to be a functional port of the Xbox 360 version! That is insane and increases the appeal of running this game standalone from Yakuzas by a tenfold. (2/2}
