Bear in mind that includes Maxing out Kiryu's final style over and over and over and over so it isn't something you're expected to do unless crazy.

Yeah. It's because it doesn't unlock new moves. It's a grid of bonuses (health, damage, heat etv) that applies to ALL styles and when you get them all it blanks out and levels up.

It goes to level 999. :v:

Splish!

I just finished the game, at 49:46 and 36% completion. The ending was a lot of fun (except the bits with pistol-shooting guys at the far end of hallways) and everything wrapped up quite nicely. I'm looking forward to Kiwami this summer. I usually never mess with clear saves, but I think I will play Premium Adventure Mode for a while to mop up some side stories, finish off some training and so on. I think I'll work on the real estate stuff and slot-car racing first...

What happens if you give the stop and search specialist an actual weapon? Does he just confiscate it?
Edit: Well if you're curious, I gave him some table salt since that's technically classified as a weapon and figured that'd be something I'm fine with parting with but the game would treat as a weapon. Sure enough, you simply talk your way out of it, convincing the cop he's living a sheltered life.

First time player of the series and I'm loving this so much. Way to much time spent cleaning out 4/5 of the Money kings, now on to blowing probably way more CP than I need to on getting a leg up on the pretty princess club (Yeah I'm probably reloading to only spend half that).

My love/Hate relationship with BEAST MODE continues.

Group of MiB chumps in a circle: I'll just... I'll... but I bought the 'don't stagger mid combo so fast' skill, come on guys :saddowns:

Meanwhile, in the next boss fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CediDrpOyeg

I've found that batting isn't obnoxiously bad if you just watch the bat waggle itself. At the moment you see him stop moving the bat, that's when you need to swing. It works for any pitch type.

Oh, for sure, but some balls are just straight-up mean (like going from a 160mph ball to a 60mph one in two shots) and in order to actually win any money at all (at least, in terms of the CP) you have to get six shots in a row without missing any.

IIRC, the batting cages all have their own sequence of shots. The second time you'll know when that 60mph ball is coming.

Dumb question: I've been playing up to what I think is the end of chapter 2. I have weapons in my inventory. I equipped a 'Master Ball' because hey, why not, might be entertaining.

How do I actually use them? Kiryu's still fistfighting same as always.

Push down on the d-pad. Be careful though, the master ball has very little durability and costs a lot to repair. It's part of the lovely weapon system that has always been in the Yakuza series. The heat action for it is worth seeing though.

If it's like the other games in the series, once you beat the game, you'll be prompted to make a Game Complete save. The game also unlocks a Premium Adventure mode, which will allow you to load up your Game Complete save and run around the open world to your hearts' content and unlock all the stuff you missed.

Doing Saejima's Dojo missions in 4 in his final mission suit was great. Felt like I was a real Yakuza underground fighting manager.

Man it really is weird that an apparently civilian and public dojo manages to advertise itself on its students winning tournaments in the secret underground fighting circuit that only super-cool fighters and also rich people know about.

I have not finished off the last two(?) races or the sidequests, but if you do the bullshit manual entry password quest in the suiggly alley, the guy Kiryu just walks away from turns out to sell a pretty nice engine.

He's not marked on the map or anything, and Kiryu just walking away not buying anything satisfied with the password at the end of the quest made me think they would just vanish into sidequest NPC limbo. But no, they stick around as a pretty nice shop. Realizing this, is how I also realized there was an unmarked Tiger and Dragon store branch that opens up in the north leg of that area too :downs:

EDIT: Other "Wish I knew earlier" lessons about car parts. I finally remembered to buy the cool looking car in the pawn shop, because I thought it looked cool. This also gives you a bumper plate part to help your balance stat I don't think you can get anywhere else.

It's the more vague stuff I wish I had more info on. "Okay, so these spiked tires are just worse grip stats compared to my soft tires... But I seem to do better with them on loop the loop + high bank tracks despite them talking about being good on grass? Or is that a coincidence?"

They list the PC Fighter race against his substory instead - substory 43 on http://www.khhsubs.com/rggzero/substories.html.

Even with the parts they list it's still complete bullshit because you're at the mercy of the physics engine and the recovery system. Eventually you'll get a run where you make it back onto the track a couple of times and at that point you're pretty much good to go.

Oh hey I looked that site up in passing once. I lost the race I was checking for (I think it was either the 3rd or 4th one?) did my own thing, and won clean :downs: I should take a closer look at the rest of that site.

I expect it was probably the "Mercy of the physics engine" stated, as doing the race I easily won again with the same car for some quick friendship bar resulted in a swift hurtling off the track just from driving normally that not even my entire battery could save me from.

What is the practical purpose of the turbo booster? Considering even gunning for a 99 Cornering and 99 balance with a high grip still means turbo sends you flying off the track unless you pray your battery can correct your sudden front flips.

I know about the bikini colors but it's a pain to kill five minutes on this thing and find out you got the wrong girl and stick through a few more minutes of dialogue before you can try again. Yet somehow this takes less time and effort than Hostess Clubs so thumbs up.
