Man I missed on playing original Yakuza on the PS2 and got most of my story from the Yakuza 4 recap. This game looks incredible
Only just played past the prologue but wow, the story just pulls you in, even better start than 0 which I loved.
Yes it is, maybe the best steelbook art i've seen.

Get Zero. It's overall a better game as Kiwanis is still great but Sero is amazing. Zero is also a better sta ting point for the storyline.

Played Zero for awhile, got to chapter 2. I would talk about it more in the Zero OT, but its kinda dead.
Where can you sell stuff?
Also, what does the minimap mean when it glows and makes a noise?

Minimap flashes and makes a sound when the marked objective becomes visible on your map, if that's what you're talking about.
Ebisu Pawn shop, near one of the shrines in Kamurocho.
And it makes a sound when you're inside your objective's perimeter in the map.

IIRC,
you need to trigger an event first by carrying a gun or just weapon in general, around the millenium tower

Is there anything you can screw up or miss? Can I just open lockers as I get keys?

yeah that part is tough
Yeah, I pretty much maxed out my inventory with healing items after the stardust fight lol.
Might turn the difficulty down to normal the

Woah, just did that. Jeeeez
Yeah, they are pretty great. A few nods I've seen to later stuff in the series as well. The more I play, the more irrationally angry I get with a friend who is adamant on playing this first THEN Zero lol.
It's pretty damn cool and fun trying to remember all the story beats and how some stuff has changed or was added.

I'm in chapter 8 and Majima hasn't been showing up at all for a while which sucks cause I'm super behind on the dragon style. the last hint on his whereabouts is he's at shine but I can't get him to appear only Rina(~20 tries).
I did once with Rina and then the next time he was there. Aren't you always requesting Rina at Shine ? IIRC there's a option to pick a random girl.

I'm 4 chapters in and it basically just opened up the city and I'm finding substories (the callbacks so far have been fun). I miss the look and feel of 0, but that's just because the setting was oozing out of it as opposed to relatively modern day. I miss some of that music too, but I'm finding that some of Kiwami's track's have been pretty good. I'm probably gonna take my time with this one.
Are you in the beginning of chapter 8? Because
in Chapter 7 he's taking a break by the entrance to the park before Purgatory and there's no encounters with him. Even if the Rina stuff hasn't been done doesn't mean that you wont encounter him otherwise. If you haven't encountered him at the bar for darts or bowling you can try there as well. I ran into him a ton near the pawn shop and along the top of the map. Don't forget that Komaki is also part of the Dragon Style training.
Could someone run this kiwami finisher system past me real quick? Because right now I can't get it to work for the life of me.
So you need to first purchase the kiwami heat gauge, then a finisher.... then use the right finisher? Which you totally guess for? Would it be like, beast finisher for big guys? IM SO CONFUSED

Pretty sure I spent a solid 20 minutes wacking that boss in rush style. It was like shooting a tank with peanuts
The finisher you need to use is determined by the color that the enemy is glowing. Purple = Rush, Blue = Brawler, Yellow = Beast, and Red = Dragon.

The guy says the option exist by paying more but never allows me to trigger it. He just automatically tells me "So you're requesting Rina?"
Yes I'm at the start of 8 the part where I have to smash gangs. Guess I'll progress a bit more then.
In this option, you're paying more so that you can request a specific hostess. You want to pick a random one.

I'm in Ch.5 and I got so disheartened when I saw how small the Sega arcade was compared to Y5 and just from how much I miss having 'Machine Gun Kiss' on the karaoke.
The story is really grabbing me though, and figuring out which fighting style works in certain situations is pretty fun.

Again as of now there is nothing to pick despite him mentioning it as an option. I can say yes or no to staying nothing more.
I thought of something just now. I don't think Majima stays always in one single place, so there's no guarantee that this event in currently "on".
If you have that skill to detect Majima and he's close to Shine, then it's possible that triggers the event.
Since you said that you didn't do much, try doing his other events. You don't have to do them in order.

I was sad when I didn't hear Receive You during the intro. Other than that, I'm loving this remake. Hope that song is somewhere in the game.
No I do not but I want to give this series a good shake since everyone seems to enjoy it.

There are no other events. The host club mail is the only thing I received before that I could meet him on the streets but I think after chapter 4 he kinda vanished.
I think MYeager is right with his point about him taking a break that's why I can't meet him.

Zero is a better starting point.
It's a tighter, higher budget game, with more content. I'd say it would give a better first impression
Good to know, thanks!

Make sure to develop your skill tree and train under 3 different masters, combat system really shines in 0 if you put some time into it.

My copy apparently got damaged during delivery so I have to wait until Thursday for my replacement order to arrive. ;_;

When I came back to my PS4 I saw that the download paused due to connectivity issues just minutes after I had put the console in Rest Mode.
Not cool.

I know it's kinda covered in the OT but what are people's opinions on the playing order in regards to this and 0. Obviously 0 came later so it was designed to be played after 1 but now they're both out on PS4, I was wondering if I should just play 0 then 1.
