Well chapter 3 had quite the intro. This game is weird as fuck and I like it a lot.

Phew, I got to the business part with Majima.
Started out doing the whole thing and suddenly five hours have passed.
What am I doing with my life?
Story Spoiler Majima (Chapter 6, I think)

I can't believe that one is managing my fast food, and the other is upgradnig it, lol.
There's NG+ and the legend difficulty.
Hey y'all, I have a weird question. I've never played a Yakuza game but have found myself all swept up in 0's hype. I tried Yakuza 3 at one point but didn't really dig it at the time. But 0's setting and 80's aesthetic seems super rad so I'm really wanting to pick it up. Thing is, I recently bought Sleeping Dogs on the cheap and started playing that. So, though y'all are for sur biased, I'm curious to know if I should finish Sleeping Dogs as I already have it, or rush right into Yakuza 0. I know they're completely different kinds of games but am curious to know what gaf thinks!
TLDR; should I finish the 3/4 of sleeping dogs I have left to play OR just rush in and get to Yakuza-ing?

If you guys didn't like evading the drunk dude, oh man, you are gonna hate the next 2 trainings.
I like Sleeping Dogs so it's worth finishing it. Yakuza 0 is a different kind of game, think as if it was Sleeping Dogs but on a much smaller neighborhood and a much bigger focus on hand to hand combat.
There is one, but it's on the last chapter and everyone usually says to get ready before any long sequence of events.
In this case, you can return later to do everything else.
Quick question: Is there someplace where i can learn to play mahjong and that other chess board (shoten I think?) ? I heard there was an anime about mahjong?
About the baseball mini-game, I never got it but is there something special if you hit the sign that is moving on top of the targets?
Does increasing health in a certain skills affect only when you use that fighting style or is it general?
I got all sort of stuff in my inventory, stuff I gain from the Sega booth and from the million$ vending machine, or like an umbrella, or I even saw a shop with super luxury clothes, does that have anything to do with quests or not?

I only did the drunk guy so far but that guy was so easy. All you have to do is run away from him in circles. You don't even need to dodge

God it feels so good to be back.
It's insane how much I miss or can't "guess" when playing the import versions. I love it, and i love supporting them, but there's nothing like being able to follow a Yakuza game's plot.
All the little narrative details, dialogue stuff. I fucking love this serious so much!

Up to chapter 7, 24 hours in. And just like in Y4, I'm completely hooked on the hostess club management. Anyone have any tips for the first rival battle? I never struggle with regular shifts so I assume I should just try to gather more fans.

I agree. Even the next two weren't difficult as I managed to do them in my first try. But I know a lot of guys were having problem with the drunk dude, so yeah, the next ones are gonna be brutal for themI only did the drunk guy so far but that guy was so easy.

But the reward more than made up for it though. Trouble Finder marks the side-stories on the map!

How far in are you?
Wuut, that's super useful. When does that quest unlock?? As far as chapter number.

I got it in chapter 6 but I think you can do it chapter 5 as well. It's tied to Kiryu's real estate activity. For me the quest unlocked after taking down the second billionaire.
Bless up. Not quite there yet, but will look out for it now.
I hope it is, and it could be why they're giving us Kiwami as well.
The biggest concern from fans was starting a ways into the series, but with 0 and Kiwami, this is the start of it, at least lore-wise.
Now, how they could gear up players for 6 is a difficult thing..right now, Yakuza 2 is probably the most dated mainline game, and outside of PS Now, is probably the hardest game to push fans to get.
I guess we can only hope for a Kiwami 2, and ports of 3, 4, and 5 to PS4 at 60fps, but that's not only asking a lot out of Sega, but asking a lot out of Sega to bring over...

Whoa, what
Luckily there's an accessory for helping find them.
I think it was part of the gift packs from the initial patch.
Thanks for your input! I really appreciate it. Still going to take the dive on Yakuza 0 but not counting Sleeping Dogs out at all. Cheers!
You can't lose or consume item quests so whatever you don't want you should store in your item box when you save the game. The more you progress more option will appear to make use of them either for profit gain, cosmetic or battle help.
The item description does state that all health ability are added regardless of stance.
Especially for someone like me that missed it on a different side quests
For Kiryu it's a CP reward
I agree. Even the next two weren't difficult as I managed to do them in my first try. But I know a lot of guys were having problem with the drunk dude, so yeah, the next ones are gonna be brutal for them
The last two were the easiest to me I passed them like nothing though third guy gave me headaches

When does the bowling special event start? I'm already in chapter 6 but I can't progress the side quest.

This isn't really an open world game, traditionally speaking. But what it lacks in size it definitely makes up for in detail and amount of content.
After you start the real estate mini game and have her friendship meter 80% full

Not sure if this was posted but anyone interested, here's a Yakuza 0 wiki.
It's Japanese but it's marginally useful if you use translate I guess.
Has maps and stuff - http://dswiipspwikips3.jp/yakuza0/

First time playing a Yakuza game (besides the Intro for 4) and really enjoying it. I'm at the start of chapter 3 but spent a while doing a bunch of side stuff, I'm diggin' the story a lot and the sub-stories are really fun and goofy thus far, which has been a nice contrast to the main story. Happy I picked this up.

yeah, if anyone went into this expecting something akin to a western-developed open world game, my efforts were for naught
I did that yesterday too. I think I actually lapped him on the 6th lap, so I passed him two more times after he stopped.
The whole "she's your girlfriend now" was played for maximum awkwardness. Great payoff tho.

Majima has a similar item as well.
The big guy? Yeah, he managed to land a couple of hits on me as well, but the ability to dodge out of his combo really saved the day for me.

Exactly, it's not like that at all. It's more of a hub world.
There will be chapters/times where you're restricted in where you can go. Honestly I've never felt the series is restrictive. There's a lot of open buildings too

lol Fucking love Majima. What is he in besides 0 and 4?

Pretty sure he's in all of them as a story/NPC character. He's an amazing character
Majima is sorta consistent enough in the series
