Pretty happy with my party by chapter 11, except I wish I could change out Kasuga, because bodyguard is just shit in the long run and I don't wanna restart with another jab.  :goty

They level up really fast once you get later in the game plus you get skills and stat bonuses that stay even after you change again.

I hit the 50 substories done in 3, with 80 total, and I like to at least do all the substories in these games even if I'm not going to platty (which I've only done on Kiwami 2), but I'm at the stage where you just have to keep wandering around hoping to trigger a new story and I'm not really sure I want to do that instead of just moving on to 4.

GameFAQs has really good kuzer guides for finding everything.

But wandering around aimlessly hoping to trigger a quest is a good thing to some people LUL

Speaking of dumbshit mechanics, Judgment has this stupid shit where enemies can "break" your health and you have to waste time and go heal it (kind of like how some RPGs have a mechanic where you die, you permanently lose HP until you go to a clinic of some sort)

I think I'm about to go Game Over in that economy minigame :rogan

Yup, practically broke now :rogan No new funds from Nick(?) after the second boss was a death sentence. Whatever, I hope lv 3 friendship with the economy woman is good enough to keep her in my party, plus I got several million Yen out of it.

You could change your focus to the Mario Kart storyline, but that shit is pretty wack so far gameplaywise. :larry The developers of F-Zero GX made this...

The lack of substory and key locators are some real QOL stuff I miss in 3 and presumably 4-5 as well.

5 has really good sub story tracking on the map. 4 I think is identical to 3.

If you're broke just take out a loan.  :trumps
Only invest in employees that have strong base stats. There are a ton of shitty employees that are pointless to have. Also make sure you have the max amount of businesses and upgrade them until their stats are in the blue before training employees.  It becomes a cakewalk once you start having a decent profit every day and once you've got it done you have a money printer for all the other stuff in the game.

Yeah I was in a similar state of thinking I had totally fucked the management minigame but when I sold off everything besides the property you start off with and just spent my money on improving that one until I started making a profit it became really easy.

I havent played this one yet but from what I've seen and read, it's pretty separate to be its own story. I'm sure the game will be littered with references to past games - either via story or side content.

Don't equip the item called charismatic biography because it raises the encounter rate and the item description is kind of unclear about it doing so if I remember correctly. Other than that just jump in blind.

You wont need to grind encounters, all Yakuza games are easy and Yakuza 0 uses cash money to level up with, and there are many methods of getting cash in that game

There's also this fix for some of the arcade games not working- can't believe Sega hasn't fixed this stuff yet.

Finished Judgment tonight

Not sure where the praise for this one came from just like Yakuza 0

- story was blah
- combat sucks
- stupid ass gimmicks (Keihin Gang; HP loss)
+ minigames were cool (Paradise VR Dice, Kamuro of the Dead HOTD throwback)
+ the only game I beat Amon in (on Easy LUL) (bonus: his theme slaps)
+ Pretty easy to get Platinum, I didnt bother though

I'd rank this one on the lower half of the scale

Now that I have spent the year of our lord 2020 playing every Yakuza game up to 7 (started Y0 in February, finished Judgment in December), I present the DEFINITIVE tier list of Yakuza games

Feel free to reference this in the history books

4 > 6 > K1 > 0 > K2 > Judgment > Dead Souls > 5 > 3

K1 was more focused as a game

6's story was good, Dragon Engine is great, Spear Fishing rules, they finally cut most of the bullshit fat from the games (a huge problem in Y0)

5 just dragged more than the zombies in Dead Souls. Even the tedium of Dead Souls back and forth was better than Yakuza 5's Haruka shit and Saejima's adventures in Beartown

How long will it take to mainline? Might as well do it between finishing off 7 this weekend and cyberpunk next week if its do-able in 15-20 hours.

I did the management sim tonight. If you wait until you've done a lot of side stories, it gets really easy, because the side stories give you some OP employees to wreck face with. I never lost a board meeting.
