Yes...? I believe everything is available to do. I think someone mentioned you could earlier in the thread.
Yes you can
There's Premium Adventure mode, which IIRC lets you wander around town picking off Substories. Usually also New Game plus of some kind to allow you go through time sensitive events too.

It certainly has the most wince inducing heat moves
Same here. I complained to Amazon and got £5 Amazon credit. You could try that. It won't make the game appear but a free gift is always something.
Yes. There's premium adventure which lets you roam free without having to worry about the story (opens only after finishing the story) and there's points in the story where there isn't too much urgency so you can enjoy those side activities.
Pick this up and you will be welcomed into YakuzaGAF
You need an item for that which isn't so simple to get,

Fuck. This game is already out of stock everywhere here.
Are there supply issues? Anyone else having trouble buying it?

I'm really glad someone made this localisation happen , I can't imagine it won't grow in the west now,it's just something truest unique.

Every Yakuza game I tell myself that I'll finally figure out shogi, only to lose immediately against the lowest level opponent.
Mahjong is stupidly addictive, though. Among my favorite side activities.
Sony helped localize Yakuza 5, but 0, Kiwami and 6 are 100% SEGA/Atlus.

Played the first couple hours last night and am loving it so far. It's my first Yakuza game though, and I have the distinct feeling I'm absolutely terrible at the combat. I lost three times to the first story boss fight last night before I had to call it (though to be fair the first time I reached him I was at like 10% health).
Can't wait to pick it back up after work!

Oh wow, there is so much to do in this game, it's amazing!
Can you see if there are any side quests left before you go into the next chapter or do you have to find them?

Edmonton (Canada)
Best Buy and Amazon are both sold out online and nothing in local Best Buy stores
I haven't tried EB Games yet.

US supply seems fine, but I've heard that it was hard to find in the UK. Maybe Canada is the same.
Picked up my preorder at Best Buy over lunch, and now begins the agonizing wait for work to end, and the wife and kid to go to sleep so I can finally dig into my first Yakuza game. The open world gameplay, combat, and insnane amount of side activities is exactly the type of game I'm in the mood for. I really hope the story is as engaging as I've heard it is.
I am so fucking pumped!

Sega probably didnt allocate a large shipment for the west

Just look up one of Barticles excellent Mah Jong guides for the Yakuza series on Gamefaqs, he helped me learn Mah Jong to a competent level that I can actually convincingly win matches now. Once it clicks though beware, you will lose countless hours to the mini game! Its probably my favourite activity in the series outside of the arcade and fighting arena.
Just be very careful when selling stuff. Some valuable items can also be used for modding weapons in this series, and you'll be kicking yourself if you sold an ultra rare item for some yen (especially in 0) that prevents you from modding yourself an awesome lightsaber, or marlin staff etc.
Okay, so around 6 hours of play time. Went pretty much like every other Yakuza game. I do the first chapter (which was fucking awesome, especially that boss fight) and then proceed to go on misadventures as I play every mini-game to completion.
On that note, I am so happy they changed up the completion requirements for mini-games. The money aspect as well as simple checklists makes life so much easier. It definitely more grindy in nature but a fucking relief over the last gen entries. Also, the big focus of money was a little off putting at first but I kind of like it. Another small change I like is the new way of having dialogue play out. In that cinematic still style. It is way better than the ugly text boxes during more important scenes.
So far I have knocked off Darts. I fucking knew that SOB was trying to hustle me and get me hammered enough to fuck up. I showed him though! 3 Trip 60's overkill.
I am having one problem so far but I think that's because I didn't check my expectations. I was hoping I would come into the game was a young Kazuma who was super head strong and rash. It seems like he is a little too composed like he is in the later games. If there was ever the time to have Kazuma to divert from the stoic badass we always see, this was it. Hopefully he breaks into it more later. With that in mind, I really enjoyed the flashback in Chapter 1

(outside Sunshine with Kazama/Fuma). Seeing Kazuma cry was kind of amazing.

Played this for about 2 hours. I like it so far. Great setting and dialogues.
Quick question-
Right before a certain event, there will be an option for you to "get ready/prepared"
What do you guys do to "get ready"?

What is supposed to be the average playthrough time for the main story?
make sure you're stocked on staminan drinks
Check if health is full
Get drunk
Save
Proceed
I went into one end chapter without any staminan drinks and it was a rush, completing it with no health items.
Dang, I had hoped to see the Kiryu that NPC's talk big about in the other games, but I guess that isn't the case. This was that opportunity to show a real different side prior to what happened to him during the opening of Y1. A bit of a shame.

Buy health items.

That OT, picking this up with my GCU tomorrow!
Think of those warnings like you are about to go into a JRPG dungeon. Health is your friend so stock up. Heat items are nice but usually you will be getting enough to get through just by combos.

Thanks, should I worry about missing substories whilst I don't have that item or are they not so missable/hard to find in this game?

I've been wanting to restart this series after stopping midway through the first installment on PS2. My leisure money has been tight for the month, but the preorder incentives and the desire to help push a second breath for the brawler got the best of me.
After "Gravity Rush 2," the streets of Japan and the criminals that wander them are on my list!
