Gonna return yak0 and pick up Kiwami at the library on Monday. What do I need to know? I've read I should put it on easy due to bosses being damage sponges. Anything else to be aware of?

I did all but a few substories in 0 but skipped over half the friendships if they had minigames I didn't like, should I expect the same in Kiwami?

I played the most in beast mode on kiryu and rarely left it. More of the same?

Going from 0 to Kiwami made me really appreciate having the exact same map upon starting, that's really neat seeing the locations change ever so slightly

Even on easy majima kicked the crap out of me , his moveset is hilariously flashy

I'm glad I'm playing Kiwami on easy. Even early bosses like Shimano have a giant health bar and block nonstop and seem to spin no problem if I try to circle while they block

Also it's weird having majima being hard then easy. When does he show up in the original?

Chapter 5, and then once more in a later chapter.

And yeah, Kiwami boss fights tend to be huge slogs. The original game has much clunkier combat, but the fights are over a lot quicker.

Weird that he goes so easy on you in chapter 3 then. What do you even do about bosses turtling up?

The majima encounters are phenomenal. Kiryu is such a doofus in every one of them and its great.

Too bad most of the other sidequests weren't updated and are pretty boring

Kiwami 2: got the tongue twister scene with the three musketeers

Is there anything else cool coming up behind more tower defense? I don't much care for the minigame so if it's a slog of another hour or two for minimal payoff I'd rather not do it

Im playing 6 right after k2 and it's totally fine. It has recaps of 3-5 that are so complicated I kind of ignored them and just rolled with the one character I wasn't familiar with who was friends with Kiryu. I'm about halfway in and there's plenty of other call backs I recognize so I'm pretty pleased with this choice and not waiting another year or two to play it

What's with the "hold" prompts on karaoke in y6? On one of the backups and the final song you get in premium adventure, there's a ton of really short ones that I constantly get misses on. I have 100s on the two main Kiryu songs so I don't get why I'm unable to knock of this award of 90+ in 5 songs

Beat the game at about 83% completion (my highest of any since this is the first I've owned) and only took me 37 hours. I guess knowing the map really speeds things up because y0 was 70+ hrs with way less time in minigames.

Now it's time to grind another 50 clan missions, 45 levels of spearfishing , dozens baseball games to get 100 RBIs and then..mahjong. Which I've never played heh

I honestly really like waiting for them to come out on PS4, like I kinda hope they don't all drop at once. It's like waiting for the next film in a big action series, but a lot shorter. Plus they're fifty hours and I don't wanna get burnt out.

Though I do think I'll probably mainline Kiwami 2 and just do whatever substories I run into. I'm not interested in the Majima Construction stuff though I love seeing those wrestlers just using their real rear end names, though maybe I'll do the Cabaret stuff a bit, but building back up my perfect team from Yakuza 0 is a bummer. I did start the Majima saga stuff and that rules tho, I'll def do that. They got Takehito Koyasu to voice the prettyboy bad guy that Majima's probably gonna fight!

i can easily accept it because the Judge Eyes theme is already perfect

I honestly love this song, it's perfect for the daytime Japanese drama feel that Judge Eyes is going for. Like I want this to play after every 44 minutes of story
K2 has the best substories of any of the games I've played so it's absolutely worth doing them. And the cabaret club is just as good as in 0 if not better , but I wouldn't get heavily into it until near the finale since one of the people you'll want to use a lot only becomes available in chapter 11 or so

I ended up getting it shortly after my despairing post, happily. I actually thought I got hosed because I did Tsumo immediately after declaring Riichi and apparently that negates Ippatsu? But the very next game I got Ippatsu and that ends my time with Mahjong until they release Kiwami 2 on PC.

P.S - Hello to my future self re-reading this post while trying to remember how to play mahjong in Kiwami 2, and having no idea what any of the words I just wrote above mean anymore.

Isn't ippatsu where you get tsumo the draw after declaring richii

Ippatsu is when you win by either ron or tsumo in the first round of discards after declaring riichi. if the round gets interrupted by a discard call like pon/chii then you can't get ippatsu anymore

Yakuza 6 post game: Final Amon clan battle is kicking my rear end. Is there an ideal hierarchy and strike team I should use?

Daigo, date, Kiryu were usually my first 3 into battle, daigo triggering his ability once they're in. Then satsuki and a damage dealer (I liked Akiyama) finally that 20 cost healer who didn't matter in the fight much but I used to get the trophy for a max level dude.

Watch closely and as soon as a jo engages, muscle party on date. Try to save the second one from satsuki for the next batch but it's ok if you can't. I never tried but if you being multiple dates you can probably just keep perma party going

Relevant codes
atpercentdragon - SR Kiryu, 100 cost
0intheredakiyama - SR Akiyama - 90 cost
kiryusavemepleaz - SR daigo - 90 cost
datewithmako2018 - SR date - 90 cost
mystrymansatsuki - R satsuski - 80 cost

Daigos ability gives +150 deployment so you can get everyone in pretty fast then just start spamming guys with pistols. The other way is the dude who resurrects heros but I found that to be way less effective
