While doing the fishing sidestory for Nozomi I wound up snagging a ¥500k tuna and two ¥100k axolotls, do I need them for anything or can I go ahead and just sell them?

Since this is the game series where half the game are untranslated, and half of us are playing them anyway, are there any recommended phone apps to help you define kanji by writing it out or taking a picture of it?

I'll give it a try, but I was under the impression that Google Translate stuff was really terrible for Asian languages. I thought there might just be a nice comprehensive kanji dictionary app, where you could input an image or write your own kanji, and it would recognize it and bring up the proper info. If the GT app can do that and offer reliable info, then that's great.

Freaksaus posted:I've only used it for one Majima substory and to get a bunch of Zap guns to farm Shakedown. The weapon crafting has always felt kind of unnecessary to me in this series. it's kinda useful right before endgame where you have tons of money to burn and the agents will just straight-up bring back top-tier stuff mostly good for armor, kiryu could really use some good bullet resistance for the finale. also helps him survive Amon's initial bullshit rush until you hit the super easy phase 2 of that fight. also Majima can cheese the second stage of his amon fight with knives real easily, just block his combo with Slugger(which gets him to 2nd bar), then pull out the knife and do the surprise-knife heat action, repeat E: I actually found Mad Dog more useful than Dragon though, mad dog at least has fantastic crowd-control while dragon suffers against multiple enemies dragon seems kinda mediocre overall actually, though maybe i'm just used to yakuza 5 kiryu who has 0 attack delay and can start fights by instakilling 4 dudes like a dbz character Yinlock fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Mar 7, 2017 |

Perhaps I'm stupid as hell (actually a fact) but some of the pacing of the main plot is crazy in certain chapters. You advance it two steps and are drawn into a super long sequence and that is all she wrote. With that said, game is epic. Just the writing and expressions on Kiryu's face are comedy gold. Grinding out real estate now.

The google translate app won't do a terrible job if you get a clear shot of the text. The translation will get you in the ballpark, and it seems way better than it used to be. Like others have said very stylized kanji might throw it off but it's decent at picking up what kanji are in front of it. Then you just copy paste them into a dictionary app like Jsho. There are translation projects out there for games like Ishin that may never get translated (though SEGAs definitely surprised us before) http://www.khhsubs.com/projectsrggishin.html

Just last December they implemented a neural net-backed translation engine that can provide much better translations when there's some context.

Floating around in chapter 9. Finally finished the real estate and pocket race challenges. Christ, I'll never bitch about doing my taxes or getting a cavity filled ever again. Good story though, enjoying the game. I know the disco poo poo is going to piss me off. I'm terrible at the few times I've done it.

I missed a card on the bridge as Majima while escaping with the blind girl and then the game switched back to mister angry pants. Is the card gone permanently or will I be able to go back and grab it when it switches back to Majima's POV?

I enjoy sharing the finer nuances of the game, from the porno mag story to the training of the dominatrix along with the soft core porn viewing with my wife just to see the reaction. But the one that really got her to spit bile was the JCC. Funny thing is after about two matches she was telling me what to pick and did quite well. I have a feeling she'll be doing that part of the game. I'll probably hatch the phone club on her tonight and see how that goes over.

The phone club minigame is honestly a pretty decent facsimile of what it's like to use Tinder, please add smartphone dating to Yakuza 7 Sega

IIRC the Pocket Race place doesn't even show up on the map until Kiryu walks past it once and gets accosted by a random dude, might be why so many people miss it.

The only reason I found it was because I had the substory finder item equipped. I don't usually go to that area in these games unless I'm explicitly told, so I'm glad I found that thing.

Yeah, I only found it because I was walking past and thought "Hey, I wonder what Saejima's dojo looked like in the '80s", so that was a neat surprise.

Finding the Pocket Circuit stadium was pretty much the first thing that happened to me after the opening sequence. Doesn't the proper open-world part of the game start you off right outside the joint?

Hexenritter posted:Sharing stories from this game with the gf has been great, the looks of incredulity and amusement make my excited ravings worth it Yeah. The whole thing is one incredulous journey. Who would have known running around collecting cards would lead you to a guy that jizzes in his pants constantly? While this is my first Yakuza game (always kept my eye on them since I was a Shenmue fan back in the day with the Dreamcast) I never had a PS to play them...right now this is a blast. Weird one for me is substory 1 for Kiryu. Doesn't exist for me right now, reading a guide says to complete something in Majima's area first. Is this normal? It is the fortune teller one. She isn't showing up in chapter 9 and guide says show up at night. Yet perhaps need to do more Majimi stuff. Who knows.

bubbapook posted:Plot/tone talking point from Chapter 13: so I get how Kiryu is all about not killing people (Hi Kuze, let's fight for the 78th time), but then in the car chase when he gets given the pistol he literally murders like 200 people. What's up with that? Why do something like that that setpiece but spend the rest of the entire game stressing how he doesn't kill people? Part of RGG is that you could seperate the over the top scenes and it will still be a great movie game. The over the top moments just makes everything feel like a game vs an exploration adventure

I just finished Chapter 6 and hahahahaha hoooooooooly gently caress I love this series motherfucking Kuze coming at me on a motorcycle with a katana in hand fuckin lol and then I clowned on his rear end in Rush Style without even taking a single hit I'M THE DRAGON OF DOJIMA It's like they realized 4 and 5 didn't have nearly enough balls out insanity like 2 did so they're like "let's fix this, and then some". e: oh also the scene with Nishiki about to whack Kiryu in the woods and Kiryu being all like "Do it then! Use my head to climb to the top! NEVER GIVE UP NISHIKI-KUN!!!" and then Nishiki breaks down and cries and oh my god I love this series
