Whoa finished chapter 8 yesterday.
I didn't expect Lee and Sagawa to be killed and a new mysterious character appearing. I feel the Majima's story will not have a happy end.
Not far. Chapter 2 I think it becomes available. I seem to remember having basically all the CP's related to Mahjong complete by chapter 4 so I know you get access to it and the rest of the mini games really early on.How far do I need to play to get access to the Mahjong minigame?
I apparently suck at disco dancing. There's a substory series where you have to beat three people at disco dancing. Managed to beat to first two quite easily but the last one seems impossible for me. I play the song on easy and she still beats me 3700:7000. I need a break now lol.

I tried the extra steps thing but then I more often than not fail to reach the input in time or I think I have to act quickly now and then press X too early. It probably comes down to training but this mini game just isn't fun enough to do that. Kinda sucks since I don't have any problems with the timing when I do karaoke for example. Thanks for the tips, though. Appreciated.The trick to get a high score is to make as many steps possible before having to go to the input.
For example, if the next input is a X on the other side of the floor, the best way to get points is to pick the longest path to it (up to 9 steps) then pressing X in the correct place.
You need to know it's impossible to do it for every input. Sometimes the timing is strict and you have to go straight to it, but most of them you can manage 3-4 steps before pressing.
Hope hat helps.
Good to know I'm not the only one failing at this.I gave up on that substory, lol, and for the same reason.
I even tried different controllers to see if I could input commands faster, even my arcade stick, but to no avail

Disco is my Yakuza Achilles heel. I had to grind out media king for like an hour to beat him >.<I tried the extra steps thing but then I more often than not fail to reach the input in time or I think I have to act quickly now and then press X too early.

Cool, thanks. I can't wait to learn the game.Not far. Chapter 2 I think it becomes available. I seem to remember having basically all the CP's related to Mahjong complete by chapter 4 so I know you get access to it and the rest of the mini games really early on.
The LOD mod now fixes the draw distance, so objects aren't popping in like crazy. Seems the vanilla game was using default console settings for them, instead of properly scaling with the graphics settings.
(It's b7 that fixes it specifically, you'll find a link on the last page of that topic).
Whew, just finished the game today, what a ride. I started playing at around 1:30pm on CH 14, thinking I'd be done in maybe 2-3 hours. Looked at the clock when I got the end screen and it was 9pm :|. I think that's the longest I've gamed for consecutively in my whole life and I didn't even feel it.
Loved the story, the theme, the aesthetics, the sub stories so so, but overall I loved it, I'll now try and play the rest of the games in the series if they all do come out on PC.
I enjoyed both characters a lot, but I feel majimas story was a bit more emotional and bittersweet that I'd give it the edge over kiryus. Great stuff.
When makoto finds the clock in the empty lot. Also I thought makoto was going to run after majima on that scene with the doctor :(
Side story finder items can be gotten for each character. Kiryu's is gotten in chapter 5 (or there abouts) once you get far enough in his real estate quest. You'll do a "tax lady" side story and the reward is the side story finder. For Majima, you can get it almost immediately by completing the cook friendship quest for the seafood place south of the Sotenbori river (its the only place you can eat in the south side of the map, but beware you need a fishing rod to catch an eel, tortoise etc.)I'm playing the PS4 version but thought I would ask here since it's more active. I'm only in Chapter 2, but can you find most of the sidequests by just roaming randomly throughout the city? I'm thinking about whether I should use a guide or something to find them all.
Thanks so much, I'm really loving this so far!Side story finder items can be gotten for each character.

No side stories are missable and most are easily triggered, but do bare in mind some are done via mini games (pocket racing is a big one) so make sure you check everything out.
This was my first one and I think you can just jump right in -- the one thing I'll say is, as Kiryu, try to prioritize the "Mr. Shakedown's Deep Pockets" upgrade at the Shrine since that's far and away the best way to make obscene amounts of money once your real estate business starts rolling.I just installed this but haven't started it yet, you guys got any tips for a beginner? This will be my first time playing a Yakuza game.

(And speaking of real estate, just pull up a map online of where the businesses you can purchase are -- the game gives you the names, but the signs are almost all in Japanese, so it'll save you from walking up to every single building looking for a prompt.)
lol you won't be halted in the story for combat reasonsThanks for the info. Any tips for the combat? I don't want my story progress to be halted because I can't win fights.
New beta patch "coming soon that addresses a lot of bugs".

Combat is pretty simple and you can trivialize it by stocking up on health items since there's no penalty for using them mid fight.Thanks for the info. Any tips for the combat? I don't want my story progress to be halted because I can't win fights.

Try drinking one at a time. I noticed that happened to me only when ordering multiples.What's up with restaurants and bars occasionally charging me for alcohol but not actually checking it off or the character drink it? Bug?
Heat moves for all stances are unlocked through training and the upgrade menu's. For rush you get some fantastic counter moves, and a couple of great ones for brass knuckles as well (so make sure to buy some for Kiryu when you can!)I like Rush mode, but the lack of Heat Moves are a bit of a bummer.
Granted I am still in the beginning, does Kiryu get more Heat Moves for Rush mode? Also I don't get that taunt move you can unlock early. It says you can use it with the 3rd bar to charge up Heat. Uhm... I already have 3 bars at this moment?
I beat the game. Amazing. 11/10. Give me Kiwami right NOW.
Random stupid thing I noticed:
Just finished the game. When I entered Chapter 13 I didnt stop until I reached the end. What a marvelous story that was.
Still, it feels such a change in the character, that ending sequence was completely off-character for me.Majima is a tragic character for me in this... From what I've seen in the past from GIFs, videos, etc of Yakuza, he always seemed like a crazy guy, he never gave of that vibe in Yakuza 0... And now I understand why.

So I finished Yakuza 0 and I want more. What should I expect for Kiwami? I know it's shorter and I'm fine with that but will it be a big downgrade in terms of combat and/or side activities if Zero is the only Yakuza game I've played?
Hmm what does the blue number on items mean?
Swords and pistols and stuff are just passive bonuses right? So it can't b e number of uses.
Ohhh so I have to actively use them? I did not figure out how yet, or maybe I can't yet?
