Yakuza KIWAMI |OT| Translator's Note: "KIWAMI" means "EXTREME"

I hope not. It's not like a Final Fantasy game or some sci-fi setting, the series loses a part of it's identity with a dub even if it's incredibly well done.
I kinda have to agree with you. I know there is a subset of people who don't like reading subtitles, but I just can't imagine a dub for this series (maybe the first game harmed my opinion of that option...) but to me I could never imagine playing the games without the proper voice actors for each character. It'd be like watching Simpsons in another language for me...

I wouldn't mind a dub as long as we still get the option to play the game with JP voices. I think a dub can help the series reach a wider audience in western markets. Like, do you think Nier or Persona 5 would've sold as much as they did if they only had JP voices?

Exactly, that's why it'd make sense in theory. But I'd not be happy if they don't do dual audio options I'd be very sad indeed :(
 
where can i get the goddess of children amulet? thanks :D

You get it from a sidequest that can be done pretty early on. I did it in chapter 7, yesterday. I forget which sidequest it is but it's a simple and short one. Just clear the quests on your map and you'll get it eventually.

So I won all tournaments in the underground colosseum but I got no trophy for it. I can't level up anymore, so I suppose there are no more tournaments and I did all the available ones, is this a bug?
 
Any there any new sidequests post game. Done all available sidequests based on tracker including both hostess and only have 3 still remaining.

Are you sure all of them are unlocked and that all of them have at least 1 victory count? You can check it during choosing a tournament.

Yes I checked, all one victory, and I did some of them multiple times, like 15, in order to get points to unlock the images.

huh, that's weird, try looking again if it didn't pop, mine popped 20 seconds or even longer after actually finishing the last tournament.
 
Oh, Yuya wants to hang out with me and show me his stripper girlfriend...yeah, I guess I have time for some fun diversion before I go back to the main plot.

Oh shit...and those were some main-story production values for a mere substory. That was great.

I'm in chapter 7 now. Really liked chapter 6.
Most of it was filled with personal drama more than anything connected to the main plot (Date and his daughter.) but it was good, engaging stuff.

I also liked all boss fights so far, save for chapter 3

. Chapter 3 as a whole was kinda poor tbh.

Also, I'm still not sure how to trigger the quest at Debolah. There's a marker in front of it, but nothing is happening. Neither inside nor outside.
 
I played through it for the first time not that long ago. But it was just after finishing Y1 and Y2.

It felt like a next generation moment, getting to walk around the city in 3D, felt super impressive lol.

Yeah, I remember playing it back in the day on release and the graphics blew me away back then, what with the full 3D camera and all. 6 manages to make me feel exactly the same way - between the graphical jump once again, the greater level of freedom, the lack of loading etc.

There should be a woman standing around by the dance floor in Debolah.

Couple of questions:

Is the Majima maxed S rank fight any different than the usual? How should I prepapre?

What is the best way to make money in this game and are there any guides? I'm at 800k for now which may be enough but I'm afraid I'll need to buy weapons or pocket racer equipment that is very expensive.

Thanks.

How do I get
Komaki
to let me fight him again, I've got all his pictures from the Coliseum and have beat him 4 times already, but he just says he's preparing, and as been for a couple chapters now.


Edit: nevermind, needed
Majima
to be about.

Casino is the best place to get cash. Save before starting one of the games, when you get a big win quit out of the mini game when possible and trade the points to platinum plates. Trade platinum plates with the pawn shop for tons of yen. Repeat as required.
 
So after the final final Showdown with Majima, does he still pop up?

Yes, I faced him so many times in premium adventure mode... I think in the end I dropped the difficulty and just tiger dropped the heck out of him to get the fights over with as quickly and easily as possible!

On chapter 8 with a ton of money and a lot of side quests done, but is there a guide on what each of your gear and accessories do ?

And what are the best gear and accessories to use that you can buy/receive from side quests ?

Mine is
Gear: Lucky Binding
Accessories : Leech Gloves, black belt.

Also ( spolider for chapter 8)
fuck me the akai brothers where tough since I didn't stock up on heat or health items
 
Just spent like 5 hours straight today doing loads of the subquests and a tiny bit of the story quests too - really glad that I got the Trouble Finder equipped, makes finding the subquests a dawdle now, was shocked how many I had stocked up to do, literally just walked around from corner to corner getting into one after another after another. There's always a subquest off a perv of some kind, ha. "Avert thine eyes". Even did one subquest today which actually had cutscenes especially for it, which was nice.

I know others have said it (Welcome To Late Game Yakuza), but since I had only played 0 before....


TiiiiiiiIIIIIIGER DRRRRRROOOOOOOP

Man... this and having 90% of Dragon Form unlocked is making combat fun again. Need to screw around with the heat sink boosts like The Flash that Sparda has posted as well.

Try do some more fights in the tornament. I just got a delayed trophy now too. I upgraded all skills for the 3 mains fighting styles and did not got any trophy. Then i kept playing and like 30 minutes later when i opened the Abilities menu again the trophy poped up.

The revelations in Yakuza 3 are still so much fun :)

This mechanic was such a great surprise. Nobody talks about them so it was one of the few Yakuza things I had no idea about back when I played 3 and I couldn't believe what was happening on screen with that granny haha.

Do these come back in 6? I appreciated that they kinda adapted them in a different way in 0, but it still wasn't the same...

No, they've been gone since 5? I think (at least I don't remember them being in Ishin either).

How long does Pocket Racing take with a guide? I *think* I can get all the substories finished tonight - just worried about that and the Mesuking one...
 
Cheers for that

Haven't played Y1 before and loved Y0

I'm actually okay with there being less content. Plenty of stuff to play atm! Good to know this won't take as long as Y0, I'll pick it up asap now!
Yeah definitely check out 0, I didn't catch in your post that you didn't play that yet. If you like Kiwami then 0 is gonna be a sweet ride

Lmao.

I haven't done the Komaki training so I'm going Godspeed on his ass atm. The fights are fun, but after getting SSS rank, it's kinda annoying to get surprised attack by him when you are trying to do something else.

Just drop it down to Easy. Makes fights super quick and we won't tell anyone you did :)

The hardest part about Mesuking is getting all the cards. The actual game is pretty easy. Stratergy works like this.

All character cards have a scisors/paper/Rock icon on them, and then you can pick ability cards in each of those 3 categories. Your opponant will always be strong at one category (Scissors/Paper/Rock ect)

Lets assume your opponant is a paper card with its strongest attatck being a Rock move. You want to select the Scissors or Paper hero with the highest HP, and then put 2 strong attack moves on Rock (the same as your opponants strength) and Paper (will beat opponants strongest move)

Then just spam those 2 moves. You have now removed your opponants strongest move from the board. When you use the same move your hero type advantage will allow you to win via chip damage and you will occasionally get a category win.

Note this is for the hardest battles. Your opponants have tells in earlier battles that make them easy to predict.

Edit: assuming you dont have all the gear but do have the required cash, pocket racing might take about 30 minutes to an hour with a guide.
 
Okay, i'm missing Two key and Four cards, can't find them at all, visited every bar, restaurent, mini-game places, and so on, even with the radar

already bought the ones sold in every shop, including the weapon shop in west park

You get some cards via the questline so if you havent done it yet, they are probably what you are missing.
