The Early Access period of Like a Dragon: Ishin begins today, February 17, which means you can start tackling the plethora of trophies that come with the game. Even if you had the original version of the title on the PlayStation 3 or the PlayStation 4, you can still unlock a new set of trophies with this iteration.
Like a Dragon: Ishin has 56 trophies, and like all the entries in the franchise, it’s going to take a significant amount of work and time to reach the Platinum achievement, Bakumatsu Boss. 11 of the 56 are hidden, but this list will give you all the requirements for every trophy in the game.

In Like a Dragon: Ishin, the Platinum trophies require you to do virtually everything it offers.
You’ll have to dip your toes into all of the minigames, complete every side quest, and finish the game at least once, perhaps twice. Further, you will also need to complete Like a Dragon: Ishin on Legendary difficulty, which you can do on the New Game+.
However, thankfully, you do not have to complete the game on the ultimate difficulty, “Ishin!”. Not all Yakuza games allow you to play the highest difficulties with Clear Data, but Like a Dragon: Ishin permits this. Here is the list of trophies that are present in the title:

Many of these trophies will not be exceptionally hard to unlock. A few of them are going to be very time consuming, though. In particular, Bring Down the Hammer requires you to enhance your gear 100 times as Ryoma Sakamoto.
The smithing system in Like a Dragon: Ishin can be very expensive, so this one’s going to take a bit of time to unlock. Depending on your skill, the Arena battles may be particularly challenging as you cannot heal during them.
You will also need to spend time in Like a Dragon: Ishin at your Second Home with Haruka Sawamura. If you want the World’s Greatest Uncle trophy, you will need a lot of money - 100 ryo to be exact. You can farm it with time and patience, but it all depends on how often you try to gather up the cash.
In general, though, most of these trophies are going to be easy to unlock. With that said, the sub-stories' trophies might be harder to get than usual. In Like a Dragon: Ishin, you do not have a trouble-finder or other way to track down your sub-stories. You’re going to either know where they are already or research them. That, or simply explore until you find them.
All of the franchise's games require a deep time commitment to unlock the Platinum trophy, and Like a Dragon: Ishin is no different.
