Nice progress, hope you keep it up. You will see at least one significant character from the latest video again (besides Kiryu of course).

Part 21 - Komaki's Training At long last, I see my old master again. Emphasis on old, like he was pretty old even in Yakuza 0. A bit bummed that not only did meeting him and doing his training not count as a substory, but Komaki himself didn't do much. He just tossed a bunch of weak-rear end punks at me. Even his top student was literally just a generic NPC thrown into the substory. Though getting Tiger Drop back is pretty great, especially since it seems to once again be stupidly powerful. I'm going to guess that in order to receive further training, all I have to do is level up more and get more abilities, right? Aside from that, I don't have much to say. The two dodge-y substories were a cinch thanks to that one move, and the cat one was mildly annoying thank's to my own stupidity. Also, any tips on bowling? I'm trying to set up all the minigame substories between videos and need to get a score of 200 in bowling to start that one. For the life of me I just can't get that poo poo down, and the advice from other sites I've looked into haven't helped much.

Sorry, I sucked at bowling. Or I did about as well as you, sounds like.  Thank God for YouTube videos to watch substories you can’t complete yourself.Oh, and scroll down below Tech Abilities on the menu to find more moves. You missed a shiny in the dead tree at Children’s Park. Look at it in first person. achtungnight fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Dec 12, 2019 |

I'm gonna miss a ton of shinies, I'm not realing aiming to get them all. Part 22 - Baseball Is The Worst Finally, I get to upload again. That baseball substory held back this upload for well over a week and I loving despise it. I sincerely can't think of a mission or sidequest or whatever in a game I've played recently I've loathed more than this. It feels like you have to be near-perfect or else you just won't win it and I loving hate stuff like that. Irrational anger aside, the dart game was surprisingly pretty drat easy and got that on my first try which I'm happy for. The Peeping Tom substory was pretty entertaining as well. Aside from that, next video will be me wrapping up the non-Cabaret substories for the chapter and I can finally move on with the main story.

And by Yakuza business I naturally mean bowling a dude with an afro. It took such a ridiculously long time for me to even get the substory started with no worthwhile reward save for the check on my substories list. In an odd way I'm almost annoyed at how easily I beat the guy, with what felt must have been at least fifty attempts to get the substory underway just to get it done in about ten minutes. It's baffling how setting up the substory was ten times more frustrating than actually doing it and it leaves an oddly sour taste in my mouth. At least it's done and, aside from cabaret business and things that are on pause, I'm all done with side stuff and can finally move on with the main story. That Japanese Doc Brown was...not what I was expecting. Granted, I'm not sure what it was I did expect, but a brain-scanning chair that let me have rematches with old bosses wasn't on the list. I'll go back there in the future, but probably not until the next chapter starts.

It's definitely worth it to go through all of Doc Brown's boss fight rematches, especially the last one. The moves you get are great. Fun fact- there were more substories involving transexuals in the original version of this game. But some of them were cut, and considering the events were highly phobic, it's a good thing.

Part 24 - Meeting with Kashiwagi Finally back into the main story and poo poo just hits the fan right away. Was not expecting Kashiwagi to be taken out so suddenly and so brutally. Though I guess with all the people that died in the two Kiwami games especially, I should've seen someone dying before too long. My only regret is Kashiwagi never told us where he got that scar. It was nice to get properly introduced to the three Yakuza Captains introduced what felt like months ago. I feel like Mine is far more powerful, and possibly more antagonistic, than he lets on. The other two seem pretty surface-level, Kanda especially. Sadly, I have to go right back to halting the story and doing substories for several episodes straight again. Really wish these chapters were longer so I didn't have to do this...

Kiryu's reaction to Kashiwagi's death is unusually subdued despite Kashiwagi being Kiryu's big brother figure. No Oscar Bait performance like when Kazama died in Yakuza 1.

poo poo, yeah, I hardly even noticed but Kiryu kind of brushed it over, huh? I wanna say he had to escape before the police got up there or something, but he at least had time for an anguished cry... Part 25 - Stuck in Substory Purgatory What's almost worse about having to do all these substories is that not all of them are really worth talking about. Like the one where I ran away was kind of amusing, but that's all there is to say really. The only other one really of note was the movie one which I found kind of interesting, even if I hosed up a few times. The reaction to the staff in finding out Kiryu is a Yakuza was pretty amusing and I like how it gets a fully-voiced cutscene right out of nowhere. Really odd how some, not even always substantial substories, will have that happen. It's always a treat though, so I'm not complaining.

Part 26 - Stalking the Stalker More substories, and most of them are still not worth mentioning. Really, only the stalker one stood out along with the dine and dash one. The stalker one was pretty amusing with a twist I really felt I should've seen coming. I also love how dramatic the dine and dasher is, trying to sound cool and mysterious about his awful habits. On a positive note, the substories are really going by fast and none of them are causing even half the problems that several of the ones in Chapter 5 did. I don't think there are as many new substories in this chapter either, so I think that maybe I can at least get the chapter wrapped up quicker than last time. Of course, I still have to deal with some cabaret girls, and I imagine they'll take up entire videos on their own just like the last couple.

Told you the dine and dasher would show up again.  Revelation moments should always be available. Just gotta unlock them. Not sure what you did wrong for the Asia pole dancing one. You may want to do the cabaret girls before picking up Rikiyu. I can’t recall if he locks you out of dating or not.

achtungnight posted:Told you the dine and dasher would show up again. Yeah, I'll look into it later on I guess. Thanks for the advice, I'll just get the two cabaret substories I was gonna do this chapter over with then. Part 27 - Ranko Yazuki Back to dating cabaret girls. Honestly, they all blend together to me and I just care so little about them once their stories are done. I try not to be this dismissive but for these types of substories I just can't help it. I genuinely forgot just about everything about the other girls except that one had a dog I had to find. As for Ranko...she was a bit extroverted. Overly so. Her being such an annoying friend oddly ticked me off more than it probably should have, but I guess it doesn't really matter now that it's all done. I can also move on to Jewel. A little change in scenery could be nice.

Part 28 - Miyu Shiraboshi I sure feel stupid for misreading a lot of the stuff that goes on with Miyu's story. It lead to bombarding her with insults of being a poor mother when I didn't realize that her son had other family members keeping watch over him while she was at work. Of course, I only do it to help pass the time and keep myself entertained, I don't really care too much and I would've found something else to pick on her over anyway. Miyu was at least less annoying than Ranko was, so that was a plus as well. In any case, cabaret stuff is over for now, and thankfully there's not much of it left. Only one girl left in Kamurocho, who'll I'll deal with in the next chapter, and then what I have left to do in Okinawa.

Two girls in Kamurocho if I recall correctly. May be just one left in Okinawa or maybe two. Don’t forget you also have a cabaret club to manage in Okinawa. You should get another Doc Brown opponent after each chapter boss. The last opponent is unlocked after you unlock all the previous ones. I think there are six or seven altogether. I don’t recall a cabaret girl in the series who made me jump through as many hoops as that one.

For some reason I had this notion that I had another fight unlocked, or at least should, and I don't know why. That waiting period sure was a pain in the rear end, that was for sure. At least I managed to get an extra substory done, though. Part 29 - Meeting Up With Rikiya The main story continues...at least for a little bit near the end. Thankfully, the substories I cleared before going to meet with Rikiya were relatively short aside from the Stardust one. I don't know what the deal with the second bouncer substory is though. I tried Googling, and I saw someone claim the second part of it unlocked in the next chapter so I'm a bit at a loss. In any case, the revelation that Kanda apparently kidnaps women for the sole purpose of giving them massages was kind of funny. Still creepy, sure, but amusing all the same. Not to mention that the diaper-wearing Yakuza from Kiwami 2 was far more horrifying. Thankfully, not many substories left to go for this chapter. Another five or so, maybe? I looked ahead and the next chapter doesn't have quite as many substories as this one did which is another plus.

Part 30 - Kiryu vs. Kanda Finally, the clash between Kiryu and Kanda begins...and Kanda was kind of a wuss. For all that poo poo he talked and being so high ranked in the Tojo Clan, I thought he'd be tougher. Granted, I got my butt knocked around a bunch but that was just more me opting for my usual method of blindly charging at my opponent until they fall down. Him ripping those giant stone things off the wall was pretty cool though. The whole love hotel bit was kind of annoying with having to keep switching floors over and over while checking every room until Kanda decided to show his face. It was amusing at first, but it got stale fast and by the end of it I was just ready for the boss fight to begin already. Still, it's nice to finally take one of the three captains down, so that's a big plus. I have the feeling that Hamazaki might actually be responsible for Kashiwagi's death. As I said in the video, Mine just doesn't seem the type to do something so bombastic and drastic, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Rikiya's viper thing being optional is kind of odd too. I recall saying I'd think it'd be part of a substory, but it's still kind of unusual that it's optional since it's something so important to him.

Well, Rikiya is just a side character, so based on that, he's not too important. Still, it's good to see a substory with importance to a character besides Kiryu. The love hotel is one of the two major battle sequences I always smile at recalling when I think about this game. Poor couples indulging in their love, Kiryu bursts into their room screaming "KAN-DA!!!" It's just so awkward for all involved. I think the Hitman Missions start becoming available in Chapter 7, so you will have more to do than all the stuff you're planning.

Kiryu and Kanda having their...passionate moments in the love hotel was pretty great too. That finishing move was not something I was expecting going in... As it turns out, they start this chapter. Part 31 - Hometown Girl Hey look, Rikiya's got another sidestory almost all to himself. Ain't that nice? Boy did he have to suffer for a lot of it though, the poor guy. It's always nice when substories get their little HD cutscenes, but sometimes the substories they pick are weird. Like the one with the accidental incest pairing back in Okinawa, or one in this episode where Kiryu was tricked into being seen as an escort. Granted that scene would've looked super awkward and filled with expressionless faces if it wasn't a full cutscene so for that I'm grateful. The Hitman stuff seems interesting, and the targets all have their little backstories and stuff so it seems unique enough for me to go ahead and do all of them at some point. In any case, all the substories of his chapter are done, finally. Now watch as the rest of this chapter consists of a cutscene or two and I'm back in substory purgatory.

Yokozuna is indeed the highest rank of sumo champion. And that guy has a long way to go. The escort substory is probably the funniest one in the game. Scammers in Japan really need to learn to recognize Kiryu. The Hitman stuff started sooner than I thought. It has indeed been a while since I played this game. Remember the musician Hideki as you go after the Hitmen, he's more important than they say. If Ibuki can't help you find a Hitman, Hideki can, but they don't always remind you he exists. And yeah, the Hitmen all count as Bosses for some reason. If you get to the end of the Hitman Missions, you'll see a familiar face.

That's kind of annoying. Let me guess, an Amon? Part 32 - Majima The Traitor...? I was really expecting there to be at least one cutscene before Chapter 6 ended. I don't recall a chapter ending in such an abrupt fashion like that, there's always been a cutscene of some sort as far as I remember. Back to substory purgatory for me. Luckily there's really not too many in this chapter, and as I said in the video, all of them are available right away so I can quickly get them over with. Except for the bouncer missions, which I just have to kind of wait on and hope the guy gets to me at some point. I'm pretty drat surprised that Majima is working for a guy like Hamazaki, it's just so unlike him. I do like to hear that his construction company is still up and running, even if the minigames associated with it brings back back memories. I mean clearly he's got something on the Mad Dog, some sort of blackmail, or else this would never happen. Also apparently Majima is a key suspect in Daigo's attempted murder for some reason. Actually, remind me, do people outside of Kiryu and his little group know that it was someone who looks just like Kazama? Weird how I always forget his name when it's literally one letter away from Kazuma...

Not Amon, but someone almost as annoying. That’s all the hint you get. Oh, and Amon is in the game too. Finishing Hitman Missions is just one of many things you must do to trigger him. Finishing Doc Brown and substories are also on the list. I actually never fought this game’s Amon... I was at max level or close to it by endgame when I played. No need to drink and sober up like you describe. So maybe patience over panic, you have lots of game to go. Then again I’ve never had much issue with constantly curbstomping random enemies. Or getting all the cabaret girls and other optional stuff I could. Majima’s involvement is largely an excuse for him to fight Kiryu again. At least that’s my guess.

I just want to get all the abilities and such that I can. The random street thugs just aren't enough for grinding really. Now, now. Since when has Majima ever needed an excuse? Part 33 - Balloons and Tuna Investments Of course in the chapter with such a few amount of nice short substories do I find a catch. More on that later, though. The new moves by Komaki were all pretty cool, and it seems his role in this game is now over. I was taken by surprise at the twist of the virtual Kanda fight. A bunch of Kanda clones made of stone rising out of the hot tub one at a time. Never a sequence I thought I'd have to witness. Aside from that, nothing too terribly noteworthy except for another substory I can't complete until I go back to Okinawa. I kind of see what they're doing here, taking advantage of the two locations, but it's still kind of annoying. Especially since I'll have to go back and look up what substories I can finish up once I go back to Okinawa. That is, unless they're marked on the map or something. Then there's the glitch. These bouncer missions really like to be a pain in my rear end, don't they? Thankfully, I reloaded my save from the last video and managed to fix things. I tried playing the substories in a different order, and I'm not sure if that was the problem, but either way it all got fixed. I got the proper text from the casino guy and hopefully the substory will play out smoothly. It really freaked me out because I didn't want something this stupid to prevent me from completing all the substories...

You’re using CyricZ’s guide on GameFAQs, right? I used ThePatrick’s back when I played, CyricZ may not have posted his back then. ThePatrick mentioned that for Bouncer Mission 4, you need to talk to the guard standing inside the Asia club before speaking to the bouncer to trigger things. If you already solved it, great. Never mind. I guess we’ll see it next video. ThePatrick also mentions you need to keep watching the show in Asia until a pole dancer comes on, then exit the club, to get the Pole Dancer Mack Revelation. So that’s probably why it hasn’t triggered yet. Kanda’s Doc Brown fight is indeed weird. Fortunately I think it’s the only one like that. Looking back at ThePatrick’s guide, he also mentioned the Silent Shoes (which stop random encounters) were a reward for completing the cut transphobic substories chain. Pity they didn’t stick those somewhere other than the all locker keys reward. Oh well, the stories were really bad, so it’s no great loss.

It really just doesn't seem worth the trouble now, so I'll have to deal with it I guess. Part 34 - Shiori Nagamori Another cabaret girl done. I swear these girls are either kind of dull or are just really obnoxious. Like several of them I would hate to even be friends with because of annoying personality traits they display or talk about. Shiori is definitely one of them. I think so far my favorite has been Miyu once I realized I read things wrong and she wasn't leaving her four year-old at home for hours at a time all alone. I almost hated her before figuring out my mix-up. In any case, only one more girl to go and then I gotta wait until Chapter 10 until I can really do any more cabaret stuff. It'll be a nice break, at least. Also really glad the Fourth Bouncer substory worked out all neat and tidy for me. I dunno how I fixed that glitch, but I'm glad I did.

Sometimes you need to have random encounters, like in this video. Hope the last cabaret girl isn't as expensive or annoying. Oh, I remembered something- look around the middle of the street above the Millennium Tower (Jewel is at the east end) for a shop called MEB. This Men's Entertainment Bureau can give you info on all the cabaret girls and even escort you to the clubs for a discount at the door (discount at the club, MEB service is free). I think it only works once per club though. Oh, and if you are wondering about annoyed responses, you can always go back and replay the cabaret girl conversations after finishing their substory quest. Just gotta pay money again.

Part 35 - Yui Hatano As I said above: Super expensive and super annoying. 300,000 yen down the drain at the end of the substory alone and it's entirely unavoidable. What a massive pain in my rear end. Like I said before, it'd be a lot more tolerable if these cabaret girls were more pleasant people. A lot of them are just kind of nasty. It's one thing to deal with some punk during other substories because those are so, so much shorter, and he gets beaten up or something. With these I just gotta kind of sit there and watch it for forty minutes which makes it a lot worse. At the very least, I can't do anything cabaret-related until Chapter 10, so that'll be a nice break. Also I looked into Yui Hatano as she is in Kiwami. One thing is I forgot she based off a pornstar of the real name, for those interested. Also, her substory didn't really stand out, so it's no wonder I didn't even remember her.

Geez, Yui has some nerve costing you all that money. You’ll need more before resuming the dates. Cash in your tuna shares, sell craft materials, play the cabaret manager mini game- that should be enough. I think she was at Shine in Kiwami, not Jewel.

Part 36 - Kiryu vs. Majima Got some Revelations and took care of some Hitman stuff. I do believe that the pole dancing revelation is a nighttime only thing. The few videos I found showing it off all took place during the night. Kind of a pain, and made worse that neither the guide I'm using or ThePatrick's mentions this. Oh well, just gotta wait. More importantly, I got to finally move onward with the main story. It's always nice to fight Majima, but it didn't feel quite so...big as they usually are. Like the one in Yakuza 1/Kiwami where Majima outright punched a floor so hard that it collapsed, stuff like that. Still, it was nice to have some time with that crazy ol' cyclops. Didn't expect the Snake Flower Triad to appear again, and in fact I kind of forgot about those guys. Which I think is fair because outside of a substory in Kiwami 2, I haven't dealt with them for a long loving time.

What, a cage match with thousands in the audience isn’t enough for you? I doubt any Majima fights could equal Kiwami, really. I wasn’t expecting Lau to come back either, first time I played this game. His return is a little out of left field, it feels like they’re padding the villain roster a bit. Note on the Hitmen- Kotaro is the only one who shows up in the HLA on screen after you beat him. The rest of the building is just for atmosphere, though it does feel like they should do more with it they don’t. Still lots of hitmen to fight, though.The pole dancer only showing up at night makes sense, although I did not know that was the case. Hope you’re able to get him next time you try.

He didn't really effect that much, aside from drawing in a certain character. Aw, that stinks. At least it'll prevent me from looking around for them in the building. Hopefully it just becomes night at some point. I looked into it, and you can only freely switch in the New Game+, so if it doesn't naturally become night during one of the future chapters, I'm boned. Part 37 - Kiryu vs. Lau Ka Long Well, the Snake Flower Triad's little "invasion" of the city was more lackluster than I expected. Aside from Kiryu and Rikiya, no one really got directly effected by it. I'm kind of glad I skipped so many of the mooks, because it would've probably taken me at least another five-to-ten minutes to take them all out. Those guns certainly helped too. The fight with Lau was pretty cool, and I really wasn't expecting him to be killed off like that. At least that means the Snake Flower Triad won't be coming back, I suppose. And I was totally right, this Kazama is the real Kazama's evil twin. I was mostly joking with that theory, but it seems it was right. Though I guess the only other options were Kazama faking his death, which would make no sense, or someone else having extreme plastic surgery to look just like Kazama...which would also make no sense. Wonder why he speaks English, though. Wasn't expecting Kanda to die off, especially in such a brutal manner. I also thought that Mine would wait a bit longer before showing off he's almost certainly the final boss. Him if not the Kazama twin. And there's no way Hamazaki is really gone or dead, not before he and Kiryu can have a proper clash. I'm not buying it. I looked into it, and apparently the later tournaments of the Colosseum give a ton of experience at once, so I'll probably go and do them. I don't know if I'll show it all onscreen, I'm not sure if it'd all be interesting enough.

Oh, the Snake Flower Triad can and will show up again, just not their leader.  And they have gotten names in previous games, just as they do in future ones. Not sure why this game is any different.Why is Kanda's head in a briefcase? So they can make a reference to a stupid movie starring Kevin Spacey and Brad Pitt. And because his part in the story was over and done. You can judge if the Colosseum is interesting enough to show off. I recommend you do as much side stuff as you can before returning to Okinawa, especially the rest of the Hitmen available before you head back. You also should have unlocked two more Doc Brown fights. [checks FAQ] It will definitely be night in later chapters, though day-only stuff does get locked out at a certain point. I think that only covers the golf, and you already did that. Just be alert for more stuff that might be daytime only. Hamazaki… best I not say anything more about him. You'll see that poor bastard again soon enough.

achtungnight posted:Oh, the Snake Flower Triad can and will show up again, just not their leader. Didn't realize it was a reference, that makes more sense. And usually characters don't just get brutally killed after their part in the story is over, at least not in Yakuza. Especially since Kiryu had already beaten him and left him behind. Oh well, I won't lose sleep over it... I probably won't show off much more of the Colosseum, if any at all. Doesn't seem all too fantastical. And I'll definitely do all I can before going back to Okinawa, yeah. Good to know. I'll still make sure to do all substories right when they're available. Poor, huh? He must be going through some nasty poo poo for someone like him to get that kind of adjective... Part 38 - Mars Fighters Remember the Mars Fighters? I sure did. Totally. I was totally pretending to forget about them. Really though, I honestly never expected to see those two bozos again. Mainly because I sincerely entirely forgot about their existence. Despite that, I do like how a few characters from past substories get a chance to come back, like that...uh...couple back in Okinawa. Granted I can't really recognize these people on sight but still. Aside from that, not much worth noting happened here except finishing up the Bouncer stuff which is a relief. That and the ninja stuff was pretty amusing. All I really have left to do this chapter is see what Mack wants, do the Japanese Doc Brown stuff, and then Hitmen fights. Next chapter is gonna really suck, so it's nice how relaxed things are at the moment. Thinking of it, I'm just assuming I can go back to Kamurocho when I want to next chapter, so I may not even be able to wrap up all the cabaret stuff in Chapter 10. I don't know if that's better or worse...

Yeah, I don’t think you can freely travel between cities at night until the last chapter and I was done with Okinawa by then anyway. Really annoying you can’t solve the cafe murder till then. I recall hating that back when I played this. You can travel between cities for a short while at the start of chapter 10, but once you go to the orphanage it locks you in Okinawa till Chapter 12. I think that’s what the FAQs I just checked are telling me anyway. I’ll let you confirm that if you want. The Okinawa monorail has the option to swap cities for 30k yen, they say. You may want to check on the legendary cabaret girl of Kamurocho now if you want to get her done- ThePatrick’s FAQ says she unlocks when you complete the other 6 girls in Kamurocho and you’ve done that, nothing about Okinawa being necessary. If you can do it now, that’s one less thing. The Mars Fighters are fun recurring characters. Their appearance in Dead Souls is probably my favorite substory in that game. Funny how you enjoy knocking people over. I think Yakuza 4 actually gives a trophy for doing that a lot. achtungnight fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Feb 21, 2020 |

Weird, because the FAQ I'm using says the opposite, that ALL the girls need to be done beforehand. And I of course forgot to check in this latest video. I'll make sure to check at some point before Chapter 10... Fun seems like a strong word... It's the absolute best thing, and I'm for sure gonna get that trophy. Part 39 - Chasing Mack Unfortunately there isn't much to say here. I just chase Mack a few times to get some power-ups, fight some virtual projections, and take out a bunch of Hitmen. Really the Hitman plotline doesn't interest me at all and I'd probably skip over it if it wasn't a requirement for the Amon fight. At least I get a ton of yen out of it, so that's a positive. I'll check either between videos or during the next video whether or not that special cabaret girl is unlocked in Kamurocho or not. If she is, I'll stop and deal with her before moving on with the main story. The endgame is fast approaching and I can almost taste it. Gonna feel good to wrap up some of those substories that have been stuck in an incomplete state like that manga one and especially the cabaret manager one.

Some of the Hitmen are tough. That arms dealer murdered me three times before I got him. The waves of goons beforehand definitely didn’t help. I think you can actually do the Mack Training in an earlier chapter. It definitely makes Chase Battles easier. The trophy you got was for training with all available masters (Komaki, the weapons guy in Okinawa who I think may still have some training available, and Mack).

At least I got it done now. And yeah, I checked the trophy description later on. Part 40 - Reimi Hanayama Well, it looks like you and your guide were right achtungnight. I only needed to deal with the cabaret club girls in Kamurocho to unlock Reimi, not all of them like my guide suggested. Frankly, for a girl that had to be unlocked from dealing with six other cabaret girls...it wasn't really worth it. Her knowing a bit about Kiryu was kind cool, but it almost immediately stopped being mentioned so it didn't really mean much. Aside from that, I think she gave the most experience out of any girl when her substory was done. I was expecting more, really. What that "more" was, exactly, I don't know. I guess I just don't get why she had to be unlocked like that but oh well.
