precision posted:Not for nothing, but I think what makes Akiyama the best Yakuza protag is that he actually, no kidding, has no ties to the Yakuza at all in 4 and in 5 he's like "hey, sure Kiryu, I'll keep your daughter safe". I love how he keeps his shirt on for his final battle in 4. He has no need for your manly stripping bullshit, he's going to whup your rear end and still look sharp as gently caress.

How on earth does saving work in premium adventure? I can save in it, but I can't load the saves. Whatever is going on here is going way over my head.

Is the real estate stuff time gated or something? I unlocked the real estate mini game and I'm in chapter 6 but I've run out of purchasable properties and I only own like 46 % of the Leisure King district.

"Yeah, I'll do your request as long as it's reasonable." "Would you mind joining that cult for me?" The translation in this game is seriously top notch.

Infidel Castro posted:Which style are you using on them? Generally I've got beast style setup, so I can grab something. If its a few guys, then brawler, or if someone has a gun, then rush style. The problem is that Kiryu gets interrupted so easily that I'm lucky to get more then a hit or two before being stunned. Hopefully I'll start getting the money train rolling in on the property stuff so I can afford to upgrade skills.

Oh nope, looks like I need to befriend the sushi chef at Sushi Gin before I can buy it. I didn't even realize buying business you can use was possible.

There are 2 properties you need to befriend the proprietors to get Are you investing in the shops to upgrade them? 46% is like 8 D grade shops and 1 C grade shop. You need every property in the district to be A or B grade in order to take over.

If you don't want to fish, the password shop sells fish that he will accept for really weird sushi. As long as you befriend the proprietor, once you're allowed into that district, the next time you talk to them you can buy the property. Hope you're good at Outrun. Evil Eagle posted:Nah I did 100% of the Real Estate stuff in Chapter 6. I hope I can finish up the Cabaret Club in Chapter 7, still 2 clubs to go. It's kind of a pain in Chapter 7 because you can't do the Club Moon challenge if your story objective involves the Grand. Of course once you actually unlock it, the next story challenge is to unlock the Grand. But you should be able to finish it after that or just wait until Chapter 8.

It's something like D grade is 5%, C is 6%, B is 8%, A is 10%, and S is 12% So you can get by not owning 1 or 2 properties of you get everything to S grade. When you upgrade them, you get that 1% or 2% delta incremented in your total share.

Haha, I'm wrapping up some Kiryu sidequests and I just got the one where you have to hang out with tiny dirtbag Daigo. He's so tiny! And a dirtbag! But he's so cool later! Truly, Kamurocho is a land of contrasts.

RandallODim posted:Not disagreeing about cool guy Shun Akiyama deserving his own game and being the best, but the thing that brings him into the plot in 4 is that he's lent a bunch of money to a yakuza organization, and is super invested personally in Arai so I don't think you can say he's got no connections. It's the same laid-back charm and general good-heartedness as keeping an eye on Haruka that elevates him above that. Akiyama just wants to believe in people's potential! His intro in 5 is great. "Aw man, you guys busted up my new printer! ....oh, wait, you're seriously trying to shake me down for protection money? HAHAHA, OK, time for sweet air juggles".

My memory of 2 is that no one thought Daigo would be a good chairman (including himself), just that he was the only one left alive with a clear claim to it that wouldn't immediately lead to infighting. Basically the same problem as trying to find a new king of a country when the current king when a whole bunch of their family was suddenly killed or whatever. The rest of the series is him trying to grow into that role without running back to uncle Kiryu.

It's been awhile since I played it, but wasn't Dead Souls the only Yakuza game where the villain outright says that Kiryu always coming back just screws everything up, leaves things in a greater mess than when he started, and if he actually cared about the Tojo Clan then he'd actually step up as Chairman? Kind of weird that the non-canon spinoff would be the only one to outright say it.

I had so much hope for Daigo at the end of 2, then he spent 3 in a coma, in 4 he was a bad guy somehow (aren't the yakuza supposed to steal money???), and in 5 he just ditched everyone for baseball reasons.

Daigo's a bad guy in 4 because he crumples to the Ueno Seiwa and Munakata's pressure, instead of being a tough guy, because he thinks he's making the right choice for saving the Tojo and being strong like Kiryu. Then Kiryu beats him up and he realizes he's actually just been a big wimp.
