So do you get to switch freely between characters a little ways in or is it only at the very end of the game like 5?
Like 5.

edit: wait actually no, you can't switch until Premium Adventure I think.

I just did the Miracle Johnson substory and he is amazing. I chose the black box -- what is in the white?

You will get some more quests in that line. Always choose black until you get the Encounter Finder, it's invaluable for making money because it shows you where Mr. Shakedown is.

I wish I could remember where I got it because the Trouble Finder is top tier equipment.

Like what? Like in general?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakuza#Structure

In the Yakuza games, Kiryu belonged to the Dojima Clan, a subsidiary of the larger Tojo Clan. The rivaling clans to Tojo are the Omi Alliance and Ueno Seiwa and each group have many different clans under them that make up their ranks with their own clan patriarch and under them their Captain which is 2nd in command and the lieutenants.

The beginning of Chapter 2 is precisely when everything opens up, including the arcades.

It's 1988 though so there's no Virtua Fighter. You initially get Outrun and Space Harrier and crane games.

I've been taking plenty of screenshots with no issue. They have a slightly annoying Sega watermark in the bottom corner, but yeah, I've got screenshots of gameplay, cutscenes, and boss fights, no problem.

I have one too but when I got the PS4 Pro I wanted to set it to output in 4K and my device doesn't support that. So, I'm back to dealing with Japan's weird recording restrictions. Gravity Daze 2 doesn't have them though so it's okay.

You can access it in the game's page in the homescreen on the PS4 itself. It's a super long link to type out.

I take it Rush Mode isn't that great against bosses, since it didn't work very well against the first one for me.

It depends. If you're good at bobbing and weaving it's amazing against bosses but it's probably the most effort to payoff.

The real challenge will be to time a screenshot perfectly so that the SEGA watermark covers something in a funny way.

I think Rush Mode would be extremely useful against a boss if you don't want to or can't take any hits. It requires the most patience, like ImpAtom says up there.

in the brawl leading up to the first boss fight there's some dude who keeps coming back after you knock him out, the last time he comes back with a knife and does these big lunges, i used Rush Mode to deal with that guy

If you want to dizzy don't ever use the finishing blows, just mash square

It seems to take about 1.5 full square combos but if you knock them down it resets.

I've discovered Rush is actually good for earning cash early in the game since the stunned heat move can get you the double KO bonus if you whittle down all the guys' health beforehand.

At the same time, the boss fight in the sewer I was able to beat entirely by spamming the Square attack in rush mode at full Heat. I was going so fast, the boss only had time to hit me once the whole time.

You get it from doing the sidequest with the tax lady, which starts automatically after you defeat the computer king. So as early as chapter 5 if you focus on business stuff.
