I actually found the timing to be not so bad, the hard part was trying to figure out the right responses because so many are practically generic grunts, and the sequence is long enough I could never remember which I guessed wrong or right. After failing to improve 6 times in a row I just went ahead and used the numbered list you get from googling it.

Yeah, for the aizuchis you have to figure out which one was the generic aizuchi and the one that was basically the "honmaka" choice. But once you figured that out, it gets a lot easier.

Just cashed out 120 Platinum Plates, enough to craft the most expensive weapon from each category three times over. I swear to God, that fucker at Ebisuya must have more capital backing his operation than Akiyama. If Jingu had just laundered his money through the pawn shop things would have turned out very differently.

my favourite thing i did in yakuza 1 was to go to the casino in purgatory and win 10 billion yen worth of chips, then ferry plates to the pawn shop to get it all in cash. at some point i gave up but just knowing that i had enough in the bank to solve the tojo clan's money issues made the story go from "oh poo poo i gotta figure this out" to "no dude ill fuckin front you the cash"

He was homeless for years and has a certain fondness for the lifestyle and the people. Also he's just kind of inherently lazy, which is why he's always eating takeout and microwave poo poo while napping on the couch. It's not that he can't afford it, it's just that would mean going outside and doing something.

As quote Ogawa in Zero: "100,000 Yen for a Fugu kaiseki course, 10,000 yen for 100 grams of Matsutake beef. I had it so often that the 80 yen stewed daikon feels like a luxury."

Not to the degree Eastern idols get. There was a famous scandal involving one of the members of AKB48, where one of the members was seen coming out of a house of a guy. She shaved her hair off and begged for forgiveness on YouTube under the official AKB48 The video has over 6 million views.

A bit telling, don't you think?

The hair shaving was on her part to kiss and make up with everybody for being dishonest, being sent to the boonies of entertainment industry isn't unfortunately and when your career is measured in months its a death sentence.

That said, since we are talking about Kansai and idols. Sashi did the same thing and didn't apologized for it and managed to stay on top long enough to secure the top position for last year's company popularity elections against the two most traditional idols. So there is that wonderful double standard in entertainment.

using gambling items gives you completion, but i ended saejima's chapter with almost 2 million after going on like 4 long hunts to do all his side story stuff. You can send items to the box from the mountain so just grab the golden gun, repair the huts and go hog wild

Well, the best possible thing to do is beat the game, then go into Premium Adventure, where you can get a TON of gambling items from Naomi's Palace in Kamurocho, then rake in a fortune in minutes. Gambling with cheat items is pretty much the way to go.

I'm 70% sure they took the ping pong player model and slapped Haruka's head on it just for her tits to jiggle, although her hand animations are awkward for the paddle though

Sinking the 9-ball at any time by ricocheting the current ball into it is the easiest way to win. If you aren't lined up to do so for your first turn, just quit and try again and save yourself the headache.

I think Shinada's training is extra bad because it highlights how little respect for your time the minigames have if you don't just do them in small doses when you feel like it, like you're expected to.

You can also use my master strategy of "luck into a Break Ace immediately and move on with your life"

now let me introduce you to my pile of oil drums. Use long-casts with Shrimp at night for Marlins but be prepared to clean up the entire ocean first.

currently on 5-1, which roughly translates to "Probably spending the next like 7 hours beating the piss out of everything to get everyone's levels up". You'd think they'd learn from the mountain-sized pile of corpses but no, it's time to challenge this giant dude who uses people as nunchaku.

I just komaki tiger dropped him to death. You can try the parry if you suck at tiger drop but that will be much slower. Only try to fight him when he is blue. If he is red then run away until he isn't, if he is red and spawned umbrellas, use your dragon spirit to avoid the umbrellas and then turn it off and run away. I've also read that you can loop him with a throw, pick him up from the head so he is stunned, attack his back with square x4, triangle, circle combo which puts him on the ground again, repeat. Obviously bring tons of healing items as well.
