I'm currently trying to 100% the game and I have one Mahjong-related CP to win. It's the "go out with Mangan 5 times" one and for the life of me can't figure out how to do it. I already did it once by accident but have no idea how to do it again. Can one of you guys tell me what to do in order to be done with that?

Surprisingly I've been more compelled in the last couple of days to dick around in Yakuza even though I already beat it than play Zelda. Working on my businesses!



I know there is no chance in hell but can you imagine if we got a trailer at Sony's E3? Would be great for the series.

Its not impossible to imagine we might get a short trailer for it, but its more likely we see it as part of the montage of upcoming games like 5 and 0 did in years past. But more media presence is always good, so fingers crossed it gets some sort of representation :)

Riichi is an option you can declare when you are one tile (including ones you draw/or steal) away from having a winning hand, and it locks your hand so you're stuck with it. Ippatsu is if you get that winning tile immediately the turn after you declared Riichi. Mangan is a 5 point hand, Haneman is a 6 point hand, I'm no expert but basically...

If you ONLY need those, you build up points with things like:

  • Riichi (+1)
  • Iipatsu (+1)
  • Having Fully Concealed Hand (+1) (You don't steal so your pair isn't revealed)
  • Having triplets of Dragons (+1)
  • Having a combination with the Dora tile (+? pts) (the tile shown in the middle +1, meaning if it shows 1 of dots, you have a hand like 2-3-4 of dots, I believe it gives you as many as you have Dora tiles, so Triplet of 2 of dots in this case might give you +3?)
  • More points are given for rarer hand combinations:
    • Having 3 triplets in a winning hand
    • All pairs of two
    • Flush
    • Other shit I don't know and are probably better seen in the hands/rules ingame

This whole time I've been wondering why the fights are so much harder in Kiryu's chapters and now I have finally figured it out; it was the fucking "Charismatic Autograph" I had equipped. The description says "those who see it are likely to attack you", which I thought meant that there would be a higher encounter rate when running through the city. Instead it just makes enemies in fights ultra aggressive to the point where fighting a bigger groups seems borderline impossible. You are always getting attacked from multiple directions at once and almost every hit knocks you down. That's why I complained a couple of days ago that "it almost feels like there is nothing I can do and it's getting a bit frustrating".

Why would they give you such an item so early in the game without making clear what it actually does? Anyway, it's such a relief that the fights feel normal again now that it's unequipped. Now back to enjoying the game.

We should really have a head count for Charismatic.

I want to share my joy, because I finally had "Full straight" in Mahjong. My tip for all of you who are struggling with it is to start the Ranked match and if your hand is not that great - just quit it immediately and start over. With this tactic I was able to have Full straight in less than hour.

The only thing, which is left for me is riichi ippatsu.

This is based on an extreme luck, first, you need riichi and then you have to win within the first go-around.

off topic - I'm better in Mahjong than I was ever before, so maybe I will try it again in Yakuza Ishin.

So I finished it over the weekend. So happy. I had to take a month off because of school/work/sick twins. I was right at the end at least, saved where I could get things done before the final battle. I did terribly in terms of finishing sub quests and things like that. Didn't get to finish either real estate or cabaret, didn't get to max out my fighting ability <never saw this dragon of dojima fighting style or mad dog or whatever> didn't get to do a lot. It was bad. The ending was great though. I will go back and play through again in anticipation of Kiwami. Fortunately I expect that to be just a stroll since I've finished Y1 many times over.

iicr, headquarters or whatever type areas in Yakuza games where you change costumes are probably where you do so, so like Real Estate/Cabaret savepoints I think?

So.... I have Zelda BOTW sitting right here (came in the mail yesterday) or Yakuza 0 (chapter 2).... got 2 hours of game time after the kiddies go to bed... worst/best problem ever.

Why buy two major games so close to each other, lol.
Just keep going with Yakuza. You already started it and playing Zelda with both hurt the flow and how you play the game.

Played some casino games with Majima last night. I was hoping they would have higher production value than they did, something a bit more like the poker scene in Casino Royale. I guess they all can't be Cat Fighting Club.

Amon as Kiryu today. Saw a location on the Taxi map called bullfighting and didn't know/forgot what it was so I took the taxi there. I hadn't saved in a while, so good thing I was stocked up on items. Never fought an Amon before in any game, so that Black Hole vaporizer laser gun thing was insane. Had no clue how crazy of a fight it would be. I eventually beat him spamming heat moves.

Super cool

How to change costumes in the office? There are side missions I still haven't done and I'm at the end of the game, could I still do side missions I've missed?

You can continue all the side content after you finish the main story in a new mode called Premium Adventure. PA is the only place you can use the costumes.

That's probably part of the problem. I got to 4.9 million points 3 separate times and finally gave up on it. It would probably bother me less if they didn't push certain mini games on you as part of the real estate stuff. As much as I'm enjoying this game I have to say that I haven't really enjoyed most of the mini games, other than Karaoke but that was more because of the spectacle than anything else.

It's continue game+. It's freeroaming after story completion without story restrictions including world time/day night and costumes and stuff, allowing you to take some npcs out with you at will and finish side content. The game has an actual NG+ function but you can't NG+ into the hardest difficulty. Legend difficulty requires clean start.

Damn, Kiryu's legend style doesn't have the Komaki moves. They're by far his best moves in the other games too. Looks like I'm sticking with brawler style after I get the CP for legend kills.

Fuck my life,
Majima is chilling at the cage ready to kick some ass
and my work life is keeping me away from the game. I need to just power through this home stretch and beat the game.

This right here. When you figure it out, it's super easy. You're not watching for the ball, you're literally just watching Kiryu tense up.

I love how much detail there is in every square foot of the city. I did find a level error though -- the potted plant in front of Club Sunshine (2nd one on the left) is raised off the ground.

Speaking of Club Sunshine, these Platinum training conversations are always weird. I just did one with Saki where
she asked if I thought she should work every day. I said no, but the "correct" answer was to be an asshole and tell her to never take a day off.
I didn't go back and replay it to get a perfect score, but it's just odd that so often the hostess questions are focused on telling the hostesses what they want to hear instead of being a good manager.

p.s. (without any spoilers) can you still run the club after beating the Five Stars?

Many of the questions reference things they say in previous sessions and are pretty easy, but there are also plenty that are just there to fuck with you it seems.

Unrelated Chapter 11~12 stuff:

This Sotenbori Pleasure Cruise stuff is just bananas. How would that even work.

Eh, I don't know that that question is supposed to fuck with you. The correct answer makes a certain amount of sense, assuming you remember how they introduce Saki to you.

That's why I said that the answers are often about what the hostess wants to hear, often encouraging their bad behavior/habits (
like when Ai said that she wants make lots of money so she can be better than her bullies, and the right answer is to encourage her in this outlook
). But as a manager, it shouldn't be the "correct" answer for
Majima to tell Saki she should work every day, even if she likes working. Especially when Japan has suicides related to overwork.

It would've been better had the hostess conversations just been conversations for the sake of RP'ing, instead of trying to gameify them.

Oh, sure, I agree. I think it's weird partially because it's clearly just the hostess minigame lifted wholesale from previous Yakuza titles (or at least Yakuza 5, I didn't mess with the system much in 4 except for the train-a-hostess one), but the manager-employee angle makes it a bit awkward. But also, you're pretending to be a customer in all the training sessions, not actively trying to manage them. In that context, I think it's more acceptable.

I go back and forth between "it's probably the best they could do with the system" and "yeah maybe they shouldn't have graded them at all."

That's true, although the conversations often veer back to manager-hostess. I mean I've never been to a hostess club so maybe I'm wrong, but I assumed they usually tried to keep the conversation on the customer and their interests, how great they are, etc. instead of the hostess talking about their personal life. Unless maybe it's a regular. But obviously for this game it works better the way they did it.

This is my first Yakuza so I wrongly assumed the hostess club business was created just for Y0. I guess I should prepare for some recycling with Kiwami and 6.

p.s. Sega missed out by not selling DLC outfits for the Platinum hostesses.
