Do you ever get something in Kiwami akin to 0's Cash Confetti to let you avoid random fights? I know you won't get that specific ability because it was tied to the financial boom in the 80s but man, jeez, the random fights are so constant and getting really boring now

Yeah, just remember its remaking the first game. If you come from 0 it might seem sparse. Also play on easy cause the bosses are sponges.

Other than the combat (bosses being sponges as mentioned above and you get knocked down WAY more) I like it almost as much as 0. You’ll dig it.

Kiwami isn't "hard" in a difficult way but rather hard in a bosses take way too much punishment way and due to how the bosses work you may find yourself getting knocked down way more. That said, outside of one particular boss early on I never had any trouble between all the heat moves and stuff you get, so I'd just keep it at default unless that first major boss really annoys you. Everyone either isn't as bad or by the time you fight them you have to much power it's not a problem.

People overstate it. For me there are two bosses that are legitimately far too spongy (one of them being the early boss everyone complains about and the much worse offender being the final boss). And thats it. The rest of the game is fine, and those bosses arent hard, just have twice as much health as would be reasonable.

It seemed to me more then other games bosses were only suseptable to certain combos. So it was more repetition then the other games. Maybe I just unlocked things badly?

Just seemed annoying to keep spamming a move over a huge health bar.

I can’t remember but if you can switch difficulty on the fly in Kiwami then play normal and switch to easy on the bosses.

One exception is the final boss. I didn’t have tiger drop and it went on kinda long but it kinda felt more epic that way.

Pretty sure I switched during a boss. And just never went back. If there one thing that brings me out of my Kiryu-chan power fantasy it's getting stunlocked by some drunks on the street.

Actually the one thing you should probably be aware of, KD, is that mini-bosses and regular bosses in Kiwami have replenishing health. Which is a gigantic pain in the rear end. How are you doing with 0, anyways?

It is possible that I was just using things they were susceptible to so didnt notice them being overly spongy. I know for the first one (Shimao at the funeral) I had unlocked the Kiwami Heat move (that a lot of people dont realise you need to unlock to use because it gives you a tutorial for the mechanic before you unlock it, which is a bit of a head scratcher. I do think they should have been unlocked by default) which helped a bit. Apart from that, playing through on normal, I dont remember being particularly irritated by any other fight in the game until the final boss who is absolute 100% indefensible bullshit. Kicked his rear end eventually with the help of a few litres of energy drink and a bunch of weapons I'd never got round to using in the course of the game, but he should have had about a half the health he had and some limits on his loving bodyguard minions. In hindsight I wish I'd dropped the difficulty for that fight, but if someone doesnt hate the combat in Yakuza I'd recommend starting on normal at least to give the fights some semblance of challenge.

Kiwami 2 is so very nearly out and I am loving hype. Gonna polish off Shadow of War this weekend (it never did grab me like the first one did, there are a load of design decisions that I just dont like, many of them minor, and they add up to a game I'm just not engaged with) and aside from quick runs of Enter the Gungeon (the new update hugely improves an already very good game by the way) that leaves the decks clear to start Kiwami 2 as soon as it hits my doormat.

I was gonna say, it's the second to last boss that's a bunch of bullshit, the final boss isn't bad if you have all the moves unlocked and have gotten used to fighting Majima...everywhere.

I'd have to check but I think I played it all on Normal without much annoyance, but I also generally had 15 energy drinks in my pockets at any given moment so...yeah.
