Amazon Prime is both a blessing and a curse since I'll definitely get it release day but no chance of getting it earlier.

It's always safe to assume that you need to manual save with all Japanese games.

anyone got a clue about that?

There no preorder you have to wait until it's actually out.

It's been out for two years in Japan so there wasn't likely to be a new patch at launch unless they caught a big gently caress up in the localisation too late. There's always an install on PS4 games but I guess it's quick enough to not be noticeable.

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.

Is there some trick to dizzying people with it since it seems to happen so rarely at the moment, they're usually dead before it happens.

I started the real estate thinking it didn't pay out nearly as much as it should and then 20 minutes later I own almost all of the first district and money is pouring in.

Where does the money go when you invest in yourself, do you just swallow it all?

It goes to paying hobos to punch you

Speaking of is there a decent guide anywhere for Kenzan aimed at people who know no Japanese? I bought it on a trip there ages ago, but my attempts to play it never met with any great success.

Even if you somehow thought that was true, I'm pretty sure the critically-and-commerically hailed Dark Souls/Bloodborne games would count as the 'proof that Japanese game developers can do well" before Yakuza would.

It's not fatal unless you see someone die in a cutscene. Much like how Batman can snap a guys arms and legs then throw him off a building or drive a tank around the city centre but never actually kills anyone.

In Body there are skills that give a blanket boost to your damage in all styles, the first two are three point unlocks too.
There's virtually zero chance of getting both before Shimano though so I'm hoping he's just a one off.

Can you miss substories in Kiwami, or can you just do them at your own pace?

precision posted:

Kiwami, being an older game, has a lot more substories dependent on what time of day it is and whether Haruka is with you or not. So there are times you'll be able to "miss" something, I believe, if you can't trigger the right conditions.

As far as I'm aware, while it's possible to miss some during the main game because of this, all conditions and quests are available in Premium Adventure after you finish the game.

Like a lot of things Yakuza, Majima Everywhere would be a lot better if it was just the scripted fights/encounters and not literally running into him every five minutes.

Sakurazuka

It feels like you start out a lot weaker in Kiwami, which works well for the 'you've gotten old and rusty in jail' feel but you get the old Kiryu back pretty quickly.

Sensor just makes him show up on the mini map if he's moving, if he's hiding he won't show up on it.

Did you get another message before that? Sometimes you can have a rank up event and a 'you did ~thing~ certain amount of times' event going at the same time and one will kind of take precedence over the other.

No that's it, you have to say you're not going to let them go when you get a choice at the end. You can also get it from the second quest with the guy who wants to be Kiryu's minion

Just a heads up, the requirements for Komaki's fourth skill is wrong on the 'Abilities' screen, he wants the Cat image not Kamitachi.

I'm an idiot and didn't realise that there were more than five skills and the next one was to the side...
