So I've just finished the
funeral
and it's been amazing so far, but I also spotted someone selling Yakuza 0 on Amazon for ~$40 after shipping.

It arrives next week... now to see if I can hold off from playing Kiwami. It's so good!

I'm glad that you are enjoying the game and even more glad that you've found Zero!

yes i did everything of that, you can't level up your rank if you don't by the way

Hmm... then I can't think of anything else. Apparently it really is random.

I'm afraid that you probably just have to go in and out of the
club
over and over again until it triggers. Just remember, if it gave you an option to pick between
Rina and random
, then it means that Goromi won't show up, so you should just get out of the
club
and save your time and money.

I think the safest way to get Goromi "quickly" is saving outside of Shine, and reloading your save until you get her after getting a hostess once inside. There's no indicator you're going to get her specifically and it's completely random.

Loving the hell out of the Majima Everywhere system by the way. I get how it can mess with the story for some, but as a huge Majima fan and someone who already played the original Y1, I'm having a great time with it.

I actually got it the first time I tried to go for it after I reached A rank.

I'm currently Rank F in Majima Everywhere, my gauge is full and I received a text talking about Majima
"hiding in plain site"
- Anyone have a clue where I go next?

Do you get a special message or anything when you enter Shine and Goromi is there? I've tried multiple times after I got the text message and it's always just Rina.

Would the sensor react outside of Shine?
Click to expand...

The sensor absolutely chimes when he's available in there. I'd tried a few times and got Rina, gave up, was walking past and it made the noise and bingo.

Anyone else from UK ordered and received their steel book version?

I ordered from Zavvi months ago and didn't get it. Emailed them and they said "we haven't received stock from supplier, as soon as we do we'll send it". Wondering if there's some shortage or something, or maybe I'm just being fobbed off?

Look for
oversized traffic cones around the city. Some of them will have him inside lol.

Huh, that's weird, it didn't react for me. In fact, it hasn't in other occasions where he was inside some building either, so I assumed it only works for when he's hiding in the city to attack you by surprise maybe it was a coincidence because there was an encounter with him nearby?

I ran into a similar issue with Amazon UK, they weren't going to deliver it until September 15th so I cancelled my order and went to GAME (the things I do for Yakuza and that dope steelbook) and they had plenty in stock.

Did you order from Best Buy originally? The same thing happened to me with a Best Buy order of FFXII HD steelbook. And they didn't have any replacement copies at the store, so I had to do a mail return for cash refund. Really bad experience with them.

Fortunately, Amazon got me Kiwami in excellent condition.

Can they not ship me a replacement if they dont have any in stock (though I am monitoring my selected store's stock)? I mean, I'll take a refund if worst comes to worst but I can't imagine it should be too difficult.

They said they would have, but had no replacement stock to send of the steelbook edition. So it will depend how well stocked they are on Kiwami steelbook.

In other words, it's because he's a Kiryu fanboy.

I can accept that.

I feel it's more like he thinks Kiryu is the closest to anyone who might understand him and his fighting spirit other than Saejima, but yeah, that works he sort of is Kiryu's #1 fan.

Does Kiwami not include arcade games? Worst Yakuza confirmed.

There's one, sort of. The rock/paper/scissors female pro-wrestling mini-game is now one hell of a bizarre collectible card/arcade game with beetles.

Nope it's done that for other buildings he's been in for me (darts/bowling/Poppo)

Well, damn, guess I was wrong then. How does it work for the bowling center? I got the alert near it once but I didn't trigger an event inside even after trying to play.

Still waiting on a dispatch from Amazon UK for a pre-order I made in April. Checking the product page, they say that they're out of stock until September 15th.

Still not heard a thing from them but I'm a spitefully patient person.

Damn I need to wrap up 0 soon. I think Im close to the end and got caught up doing side-quest stuff. Especially with Kiwami 2 being announced, I really want to go back and play 1/2 since I started on 3 and never played them before. Glad to see Yakuza getting its well deserved reception!

If you are talking about one of the

, then sorry man, I haven't reached that part yet. I'm still in Chapter 5.

Don't know about this specific thing, but there are a lot of basic stuff about that style that you have to unlock with Majima Everywhere system.

Damn, mine was dented also but no where near as bad. Why do shipping companies continue to use bubble wrap envelopes, almost always get a damaged product if they do.

You will meet a weapons merchant in a bit who lets you change up Majima's weapons but the bat stays the same in that fighting style.

And yes, there are a lot of chapters.

Oh my god, there's Dead Souls love and it's incredible haha. This game is out of this world.

There's a Dragon Style ability I've been trying to unlock that says "You can unleash Heat actions when using Dragon of Dojima style" that requires that you reach rank E and beat slugger Majima in town to unlock it, that's probably it. Haven't had any luck with slugger encounters though...

Edit: Oh never mind, the ability to actually gain heat is locked behind a Majima Everywhere sub story.

Dont worry man, someone stepped on my case whilst dielivering

Its annoying cause the steelbook looks amazing


Also ive just got to chapter 4 and spent the last few hours doing side stories and stuff

The main campaign has me hyped up the same as 0 did, but the sidequests arnt as meaty but thats to be expected.

Games fantastic so far

Anyone know if Kiwami's legend difficulty is like 0's? I don't wanna have to do all minigames and Majima stuff twice. I'll just play story only on the first run if so.

Could someone re explain the tutorial from the early game
jail fight
? Can't seem to remember that.

Also what should I be doing when the bosses hunch over with a glow? Just hit them a bunch?

Passed over some things to fast haha.

Don't remember that tutorial, but what you are describing is Kiwami Heat actions. When bosses start to glow, you have to match your style with their color (pink = rush, blue = brawler, etc) and have enough heat to do a Kiwami heat move.

Of course, first you have to buy those moves form upgrade menu, otherwise you can't use them. IIRC they are part of the Body upgrade sphere.

Oh I just meant that playing the entire series without skipping titles is incredibly rewarding haha. And well, I think remasters are a possibility, but I wouldn't count on that happening until at least 2019, so you have time at least.

Yeah, but can't play 2. And It was suggested not to watch the recap videos of it in the 3rd game.
