was there one with actual save point? Because I only saw healing station and item box.No there was a safe station afair. It was a bit "hidden" or more difficult to find (well it's a side alley before the boss room)
It's strange not having a trophy incentive to get the completion list done. I only am forcing myself to do the Batting Centre to get some Cheerful points.
Second time completing the Battle Arena and my highest job is only level 29, with Job Exp buffs. The Kamuro Dungeon is stingy with regards to Exp so far, and is quite easy.
I've been using Kasuga with an item that increases Character Exp but halves MP for most of the game. Only downside is I can't use the Kiwami gained from the Business minigame. I will swap it out for the MP item you guys mentioned earlier.
The homeless guys? Yeah I saw them a few times in the Yokohama dungeon.The Kamurocho dungeon has a new second floor, there you can find the metal slime like enemies. Make sure you have Han Joon Gi on your party, his rapid shot will melt them.
Exactly, you can find a lot of them in there, the only problem is that you can't queue up enough food bonuses to reach them.The homeless guys? Yeah I saw them a few times in the Yokohama dungeon.
If you are feeling burned out by playing the first three, you'll feel the same after playing 4 more. There's really no need to rush through them anyway, taking your time with each is really the best approach as they are all very similar in design.Im feeling a little burned out of Yakuxa after Zero, kiwami/kiwami2, hopefully yakuza 3-4-5-6 wont be too bad so i can enjoy 7
*clap clap*Just finished the game. Nakaya puts in a phenomenal performance as Kasuga.
Just wow.
Yeah, any recommended party setups? I'm in the late 60s level wise but the final fight took forever, as I didn't really have any elemental offense. I'd imagine the post game is even tougher.*clap clap*
you are not completely done though ;) You have one last battle arena to beat !
I love the staff roll music (specially how it ends).

Only to level up once more, clear the dragon kart stuff and the post game and I have the Platinum. Only 62 hours on the clock so far.
I'm at the same point (well, just cleared chapter 10) and everyone is somewhere between 35-40. Your a bit under leveled, but to be fair up to now the game doesn't really demand anything from you.What's everyone's level at the end? I just hit chapter ten and I think I'm a little under levelled currently 25. Any good places to grind? The dungeon I guess?
I had Kasuga at level 67, with all other characters ranging from 60-65. Each character had their main job at max level (30).What's everyone's level at the end? I just hit chapter ten and I think I'm a little under levelled currently 25. Any good places to grind? The dungeon I guess?
Just beat the post game dungeon on my first try. Was expecting so much more of a challenge. Now to finish go karting for the Platinum trophy
How difficult is the platinum? Are there any chapter specific ones?
If it is easy, I might go back to the game and try to get it while leveling up some other job/class.
I didn't really feel there is that much grinding to this one to be honest. I'm way past 300 points at the moment and have a ton more missions to do, and 5 more chapters to do them in! I think most people can easily hit the number just by doing a few every chapter or so. Even the "beat 10 of each enemy" isn't all that tough closer to the end of the game when you get bigger mobs show up.The longest part is getting executive hero state 300 points. You have to do a bit of grinding for it.
Dungeon's are essentially this games long fights, they still take place in normal Yakuza related environments. But some can be revisited for XP. You still have 100% human enemies in these. Well, that's not 100% true, but you'll see what I mean ;) You don't fight demons or monsters or anything but if you've played previous Yakuza games you'll know what to expect. Really the only thing that changes is that there is a much wider variety of enemy design and attacks compared to previous games.Is this human enemies? People are saying dungeons and stuff but does that mean you just fight more humans?
Job classes is this like FFV?
This game sounds amazing. I like the other Yakuza games but I like jrpgs and turn based even more. How has the reception been critically?
When will this get a English localisation?
I guess English version will come out in August/September like always :)
Grinding is not needed at all if you use buffs and well your jobs to do some strategy fights. I did the chapter 10 boss fight even under level 23 for example. Game has a tons of options for replay imo.
Reception so far has been good to great. Some people would like to beat em up style back, but most people say that this one changes things up in a great way. For me it's really really fun, but I also love JRPGs so there is that too. It's funny to see Persona 5 Scramble being more action rpg like and Yakuza 7 being more turn based RPG...like both of them want to try something inbetween to mix things up which works great in both cases. I guess English version will come out in August/September like always :)
Not really. There's some characters from previous games that turn up, but I can tell you the first 11 chapters have basically 0 mentions to the past games at all. Granted some past characters do turn up, but from what I understand, its not really reliant on playing all 7 previous mainline games first.cool there is no way I'll finish Yakuza 1-6 by then (only best 0) hopefully this game doesn't rely on you having played the others ?

You mean 5 right? Because from a story or content perspective, 5 is larger and takes longer to finish whether you just mainline the plot or 100% it. 0 is the next longest no doubt, but I can clear 0 way quicker than 5 in the several runs I've done on both.
Completely new main character, you might miss some cameos but it's completely enjoyable withoutcool there is no way I'll finish Yakuza 1-6 by then (only best 0) hopefully this game doesn't rely on you having played the others ?
From my OP
Q: Where is Kiryu?
A: Play Yakuza 6. Ichi is the new main character at the moment. It's a fresh start for the series.
Certain things are from past games but they are not important and just a "Ahhh that is this dude" moments. You could finish 1-6 in under 100 hours (without doing any side activites or not many) so there is that too if you want to experience the past story which is great. 0 is by far the largest of those games.
You mean 5 right? Because from a story or content perspective, 5 is larger and takes longer to finish whether you just mainline the plot or 100% it. 0 is the next longest no doubt, but I can clear 0 way quicker than 5 in the several runs I've done on both.
I'm a bit ofa completionist so I wouldn't be able to help myself in getting most of the side stuff done or at least doing 50%. I have never platinumed these games however, beat FOTN recently and it was ok but definitely not as good as the Yakuza games. I was just a fan of the anime movie.
Currently playing Judgment and enjoying it but it's gonna be a long game. Only reached chapter 2 and chapter 1 was really long. I like it but it seems to have less RPG elements than even Yakuza. There's no equip screen for example. Combat seems alright but overly complicated with the wall running attacks.
The detective stuff is ok but a bit bland. It's solid for sure and looks very nice. Story doesn't really interest me a great deal so far thoifh
Strange, 5 always takes me way longer no matter how I play. Though I reckon that's down more to how I play (I tend to walk rather than run...) and 5 just had so much stuff to do even just in the main route.5 took me 10!! hours less than 0s story and I even did all of Harukas battles. :) 5 is really short imo if you just do the main stories. It's funny how howlongtobeat has 5 at the top with 41 which took me way less than that. Kiwami and Kiwami 2 are also 10 hour games for me for just the story, but I am also someone that reads quicker and skip to the next textbox immediately except for bigger cutscenes which I see the first time. Just wanting to say that streamlining them all (I did 0-6 in less than a month with only having two free weekends too) and I loved it. So it's definitly possible.
Well then don't even think about the old games and just play 7 when it releases because otherwise you won't ever get to 7 in the next year lol.
Apologies. I think you can get that substory when you finish all the romance ones!! But they require level up your attributes but I have no doubt you'll get that done as you are always more proactive with the completion list than me! HahaBah, stop teasing me Desmond . I really wanna read that spoiler but can't until I finish the game!

Then again I rarely do story runs, I tend to do 100% runs, which take... a while! Well, except the original Yakuza (not Kiwami) which I can 100% in less than 20 hours.
Im most of the way there on the attributes, its another one of those things that you'll nail if you play a completionist run on the game as the mini game completion stuff gives you tons of extra points for that stuff. Can't wait to get to the side story eventually! I'll hopefully get some serious playtime on the game over the weekend.Apologies.

Speaking of which, I've hit chapter 11, and about 2 chapters to late, we now have a difficulty increase for random encounters. Now I can actually use my good gear and summons a little more freely as some of these dudes actually pose a threat! Did another dungeon run to get Zhao/Cho up to a decent level, almost everyone is mid 40s lvl wise. I think I'll leave it there for now until I hit Sotenbori. Time to hit the casino and do a few more of the side stories...
