Only "grind" on Substories and Part-Time Hero requests. Get the job xp increasing items as they become available. https://www.reddit.com/r/yakuzagames/comments/jwgxwl/job_exp_boost_items_and_where_to_find_them_yakuza/ Try to get any shop/exchange items before doing a substory as that will allow you to get 2 of them for that job.

I'm not sure what triggers the refill however - I'm fairly sure it's not chapter-based, so I would guess either time, XP or number of quests polished off. Possibly fights ?

PhoenixFlaccus posted:Anyone have any ideas on how to unlock the True Final Tower? It seems bugged on PC unless I'm missing something. I've beaten the post game tower twice, once at lvl 99. Also, how leveled were you when you beat the True tower? True Final Tower is really bugged right now. Even if you unlocked it and made it to the final boss, it may bug out and just kick you out. Assuming the threads are to be believed on the steam forums, there's a chance your save can also become corrupted. I made it to the True Final Tower boss with everyone at level 99 with their main job at 99 and a healthy amount of levels in most other classes.

So I liked the ending, but it was very frustrating that Kasuga never told Masumi about his real father. I kept expecting that bomb to drop and it just... didn't. The stabbing was devastating, though, and Adachi's final revenge was fantastic. Overall, it's a solid seven and a half out of ten, which puts it right around 4 in my personal rankings and I hope to god they don't go back to turn based combat.

I do think I know why so many folks had Saeko on slot #3, tho. You initially have 1Ichiban, 2Nanba, 3Adachi, 4Saeko Eventually you'll swap 3Adachi for 3Eri Nanba leaves, forcing 1Ichiban, 2Eri, 3Saeko, 4Adachi You get Joon-Gi Han and probably swap 4Adachi for him. Either way, by not taking Saeko off the party or moving her at any point, she'll naturally be spot #3

They're already cribbing a ton from Dragon Quest so I think they should double down on it. Instead of movement being a mechanic (I would hate this tbh) they should improve pathing through obstacles, drop interceptions, and make aoe attacks automatically target everyone.

It's worth noting if, for some reason you're hard up for cash, it's cheaper to buy the individual flowers/trees and get the Survive Bartender to craft them into bouquets/bonsais than it is to just buy them pre-crafted.

A Sometimes Food posted:So uh I'm starting to want to grind stuff, can someone please list the various 'get more job exp' gear and where to get them? I'm wary of spoilers. well, mahjong is a bit rich/complex but there are plenty of "guides" out there because it's a very popular game. koi-koi tips : if you want to make any money at all, only play expert, 12 rounds, 200 tags per point. Everything else is penny ante bullshit. You're here to win big, you're save scumming anyway. First, understanding the deck itself : a hanafuda deck is the orthogonal of our "normal" playing cards. We have 4 suits of 13 cards each, a hanafuda deck is 12 suits of 4 cards each. Each suit has 2 chaff cards, one ribbon card (that in a few suits is replaced with a weak variety card) and a face card. Of those, 6 of the ribbons are "high ribbons" (those with writing on them) and 5 of the faces are "lights" (2 flower bunches, the Moon, the Heron and the Rain Main which is the "poo poo light"). The exceptions are November (leaves going downwards) which has the Rain Main as the face, but both a ribbon and a variety to compensate ; and December (purple flowers with little petals, not to be confused with May which is a purple iris) which only has a face card and 3 chaff cards. The goal of koi-koi is to make combinations that mostly involve the ribbons and faces cards : the chaff cards are there to make pairs *with* but they're worth poo poo on their own. Scoring is relatively straightforward : Moon Viewing and Cherry Blossom Viewing are worth 5 points ; Seasons is 4 points ; combinations of lights are worth 5 points for 3, 6 for 4 and 7 for all 5 ; red/blue scrolls and boar-deer-butterfly is 5 ; everything else is 1. If you score 7 points or more, your points get doubled. Each time you make a point-scoring combination you get the koi/not koi choice : koi means "keep going", non-koi means "end it and score what points I have". Koi is always a risk : not only can the opponent undercut you if they score a point scoring combination themselves ; but if you can't make at least 1 more point yourself after calling koi the points you've already made don't get scored. Every turn you can make up to two pairs : first you play a card from your hand which, if it matches suits with a card on the board, lets you take both cards ; then you draw a card from the deck and put it on the board and if *that* makes a pair you take it too. From this, understand that any card that is sitting on the board is always likely to get randomly paired with the card from the deck ; so you can make pairs unexpectedly through sheer luck (but of course, so can your opponent). Being the dealer is a HUGE advantage, because he plays first (thus can snipe the most valuable cards on the initial board) and can play all 8 of his cards, which grants you some leeway to make points down to the last card, whereas the other player must call it at his 7th since he likely won't have an 8th turn (it's extremely rare to not have *some* point-making combination on turn 8 so the dealer will just win by default on Junk or something). This means that if you're not the dealer, you never want to call koi unless you have an ironcast reason to (like you're going to make all the points next turn). End the game ASAP with 1 point if it means you're getting that dealer marker back. There's a tiny advantage to being the not_dealer, which is that after you play your 8th card and rip a card from the deck as usual, you get to draw a second time if you haven't already scored anything. This is a very tiny advantage and not worth putting any faith into because as I said, it's *very* unlikely the dealer won't have at least junk or ribbons by the time they play their own last card. *When* you make a pair is important : if a pair of a given suit is already gone and you have a third of that suit in hand, and the fourth rips from the deck that pair is "safe" (the opponent can't ever make that pair) so you can leave it on the table as long as you want (if it's a point-scoring pair you should, even ; because that lets you end the game whenever you choose and your opponent doesn't know you have that possibility). In which case you should make other, more contested pairs first. Try to prioritize taking points away from the board over making points from your hand, since it denies more to your opponent (and hides what points you have in hand, although I don't know if the AI is coded to play with that info at all). Always look out for the sake card (that's the high card of the camelia suit, red/orange flower with a purple... thing next to it). If you have it in hand score it ASAP, and you want to keep a cherry blossom (bunch of pink flowers) and/or the season that has moon in it (grey half-circle on the bottom) in your hand as long as possible so you can immediately snipe the Moon or Sakura cards should they rip from the deck. The combo of sake+moon and sake+sakura are worth 5 points each, that's the biggest bang for the fewest buck (and both together are already 20 points right there). If you *don't* have it in hand, it's either in the deck or in your opponent's hand. In either case you don't want to let a camelia sit on the table at all because they'd be able to nab it and put you down the hole. If it's on the table and you can take it, don't even think, do it. It's the most valuable card in the game, you can't give the opponent any opportunity to snag it. If the opponent gets it, your mission is now to deny them sakura and moon : don't let cards from those suits sit on the board. The next thing to look out for are the 3-card combos : the poetry ribbons with writing (blue and red), boar-deer-butterfly, and the light cards. If you have 2 figures of such combos in your hand, you want to look up which suit corresponds to the 3rd, so you can check if you have a card of that suit in your hand . In which case, keep it so you can snipe the missing card if it rips from the deck. After a while you'll just know which high cards are in which suit, but it takes a little while to learn all 12 suits by heart if like me you have never seen a hanafuda deck before. Oh, also always look which season is the "trump" this game (the card displayed on the right of the board), if you get both pairs of that suit that's 4 points so make those pairs aggressively. If you don't have easy access to moon viewing/cherry blossom viewing, season or a 3 card combo, well, things get sucky and you have to make a decision early : you're not going to make a lot of points except through sheer luck, so you want to tap out ASAP. Whether the fastest way to do that is with 5 ribbons, 5 high cards ("variety") or junk (any ten non-face cards) depends on your hand but you have to pursue it aggressively. Don't bother collecting ribbons, figures or lights if all you want is fast junk to get out of an unfavourable draw ASAP, it'll just slow you down and you'll be better served just making chaff pairs. When you have to discard a card, pitch stuff that likely won't give your opponent points over stuff that might let you make a pair next turn (unless it's "safe" as explained above). It's ok to pitch a non-writing ribbon, or a figure of a combo that can't be made any more over a pure chaff card if the high card of that chaff card's suit hasn't been scored yet : the opponent might have it in hand and be looking for an opportunity to gently caress you over. It's ok to pitch ribbons if your opponent is collecting varieties and vice versa. It's almost always ok to pitch the rain man, he's only worth anything if you already have 3+ lights and even then he's not worth much more points. Finally, there's the koi decision : so you have a point scoring combo. Do you end the game right now ? Well, that's where the gambling begins. First, look at your opponent's revealed cards : are they close to a scoring combo themselves, and if so how many cards could give them a point ? If they're missing one specific card they only have 1 in 52 chances to get it every turn, that's an ok gamble to make (even moreso if the first pair of that suit is already gone). If they're missing "any pair of chaff" or "any ribbon" otoh that's much more likely to happen. Then look at what cards are left on the board & in your hand : are you sure you can make another point scoring combo with that, and if so, how fast ? One or two turns, call koi for sure. More than that ? You're probably better off scoring right now instead of risking getting sniped. If you have Moon Viewing and have a cherry blossom in hand it might be worth it to wait for the Sakura (and vice versa) because that's lotsa points of course buuuut you'll hate yourself if you get sniped. Similarly, if your opponent has called koi, your priority has now shifted from "making a lot of points" to "making a point, any point, as soon as possible and cut him from scoring".

Maxed all of Eri's jobs and the equivalent amount for the guys and I can now kinda fight the True Final Millennium tower, I got like a third in past the first boss before getting rinsed by some random enemy encounter because of some less than spectacular luck. Progress, but still not great. I thought to try and buy some Premium First Aid Kits for easier revival but they're only earnable from the pachislot machines, seemingly? Along with Health/Attack Boosters which would prove pretty useful to me right now. I hope the cheat tokens are genuinely effective because this is all starting to feel like a lot to ask just to clear one dungeon.
