Chapter 9:
For once the boss wasn't too bad, though it had the usual annoying schtick of breaking your moves mid-combo and having perfect tracking but that's expected by now i guess...i failed the car chase once but it wasn't too bad.
Onto Chapter 10...

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

What cards are you missing?
 
Question: I'm in chapter 6
and Majima has stopped showing up (I maxed out my C rank) and he's over by the park, smoking. It said I need to advance either the main story or a side story. Anyone know which of the two it is?
 

bnx

welp i'm stupid i should have written them! haha

i'll check tomorrow

Ya I have all of them.

Card #19 may be tricky to get. Talk to the professor and select "Battle with Someone". Choose any opponent you like and continuously beat them about 10+ times or so. You can beat the same opponent multiple times if you choose. Eventually, Professor will give you #19.
 
So I've been having a bit of trouble with the Majima Everywhere mechanic. It may just be because I'm in Chapter 6 and
Majima just got stabbed a little while ago
and maybe that's why he's not appearing at the moment.

Majima will not appear during certain parts of the story. If you've gotten him to a certain level before parts of the story you will also get a message that says you can no longer feel his presence. This is the games way of telling you to move the fuck on already.

You should have received a text message from Nishida telling you Majima will be resting for a while. He'll notify you when he's back as well.

Just crossed the 20 hour mark. Loving the game so far, but not sure if I like this or 0 better. 0 definitely had more stuff to do but I like not having to switch between 2 people and keeping track of 2 inventories, etc.

I spent the first ten hours or so doing very little other than the main story. After you beat the Nishki
Sgt. boss guy with the two guns that took me an eternity and seemed to just straight up input read (beat him in one try but it took me like 20+ minutes)
I figured I needed to beef up.

So I spent the next 10 hours doing nothing but substories. Maxed out all my skills. Also bumped up my Majima Everywhere rank from B to SS. I was enjoying Majima Everywhere for a while but once I got to Rank S it just starts to become a chore as he becomes a fist sponge and it feels like forever to beat him. I'm on SS now and I can beat him pretty easily by just maxing out my heat and spamming the standard Beast Mode combo over and over. But it's not really fun anymore. And it also makes the Majima
main story confrontations feel like not a big deal when you've already beat the shit out of him literally 50 times.

I also still haven't found the wooden sword the old guy who trains you wants. Where is that?

And I'm assuming there's nothing else to do with XP after you've maxed out all your skills? I wish they would've just put a high XP price on some of the Dragon skills. It seems to be similar to 0 in that by the time your Dragon style is actually useful, the game is basically over. Kind of a waste.

I'm missing quest #4, The Yakuza's Wife I think, I did the previous quest for it #6 and still can't get it.

This one:
https://youtu.be/axS7fn1eEqE

The last side quest that I need, dunno why I can't get it.

Try a different time of day, run around the city a bit, Florist should call you and tell you to come to him. It's also possible that he did call you and you simply forgot about it or missed it, so you can go to him to make sure.

I think you can get the wooden sword from Don Quijote.

Bansai
I tried to go to him but nothing, I'll try to change the time, thanks!

When you are fed up with Majima's bullshit and activate your inner Flash.

how do you pull off the guard move where you get behind the enemy?

about 10 times and still no card, hope it will come soon!

Also i'm missing card 19. 35, 55, 59

and missing key G2 and C5
 
As much as I love this series, the philosophy towards boss design is cheap bullshit. Moves with super armour, immune to stun locking, evading out of combos, unthrowable, unlimited blocking with counter attacks for extra fun.

Edit: Forgot to add, attacks tracking perfectly. It's why the tracking on Kiryu's combos has always been frustrating because it's clearly not that the fighting engine is incapable of doing so.

Agreed it's fucking garbage tbh I just wish they someday stop caring about making shit challenging. That has never been a strong suit of theirs. Just focus on making shit fun.
Their difficulty design is just cheapness all around sometimes to the point I question if anyone over there playtest this shit you have to do for plats and higher difficulties. Like there's no way you can go away from that and think it's fun.

Or they pull the jay wilson and and just 2.5 x the difficulty of what their best playtesters can manage. Which fucking made inferno diablo the most retarded designed garbage ever.

Most of the bosses in the other titles feel way better to fight.

Also some level of hyper armour seems necessary.

Yeah Kiwami is the biggest offender to shit boss design. It's probably the only game in the serie where i'm never looking forward to the next boss just because of that.

I lost two hours of data thanks to an error poppin up ;_;. I was just doing cabert and last of majima abilities so I dididn't lose THAT much. Still sucks tho.

if you did everything, he should give you a call after a while... maybe only in the last chapter?

Looks like you're missing these

Looks like the weird western release opening is actually a song from the soundtrack that shows up somewhere in the game? That'd explain why it's so off lol.

Edit: Haha it played in game right after I posted that.
Can't believe they made the battle theme from the most infamous boss in the game the opening music hahaha.
I kinda like it now.
 
Are some of the substories in this new? Did the
bad boy DILF
one exist in the original

Yeah, some stories are new - all the ones attached to mini games are basically all new (bar a couple) as almost no mini games were included in Yakuza 1. Plus there are a couple of Haruka specific new side stories and one new side story focusing on a martial artist.

Just finished the game with all side missions except the mini games.

Enjoyed it a lot, I prefer 0 easily but it was so good.

Ok anyone know how to unlock the last stand reborn skill from the majima fights, the requirements say i should be rank D and defeat breaker majima, but i'm already rank SSS and i've fought breaker majima a bunch, but that move is still locked and i got no clue what to do

It says "in town", which means you have to beat breaker Majima in a random encounter, so none of the scripted ones count.

As for how to make those spawn... I dunno, we're in the same spot.

Edit: Ugh I had Majima wearing
his 24 hour Cinderella outfit
spawn near the bikini bar right after posting this, but some annoying yakuza got me and he disappeared. I'm 100% sure it was a breaker encounter.

Edit 2: Scratch that, I beat breaker Majima just now and I remember doing so before too and still don't have the ability unlocked...

Just got it, theres no point on fighting majima if hes with other outfits, only regular majima unlocks it
 
I just beat the game, major spoilers.
Legitimately shocked at how many major charecters died after playing 0. Kazama, Nishikiyama, Reina, Yumi, Shinji, Shimano, Sera...
Really wasn't expecting that but it just makes me more curious to see where the series goes from here.

Got SSS in Majima, is there a "final" fight?

I fought him when he was
wearing that mask
, I think there's something more?

Also, sometimes I don't feel fighting him, in SSS his HP is too high.

Yeah I remembered shortly after. The one I fought popped out of a trash can though lmao. I think those don't count either, only the ones walking around town.

A tip for when you unlock the second to last dragon style move from the master. Use it. The triangle parry does an insane amount of damage and makes Majima fights quick once you get the timing down.

Quick question. Where is the Majima fight
where he's wearing the mask? I'm at the coliseum but I don't see him in the tournament stuff
 

BADMAN

Member
Nevermind my question he's
In the last coliseum stage

Where am I supposed to find the wooden sword so I can
start training with the old guy in the park
?

It's at the pawn shop. The weapons seller in the east side of the park might have it too.
