20hrs in start of chapter 5, level 18 with everyone.. there’s so much do in this game!

While Kiryu is my favorite as a long-time fan since PS2, Ichiban is much easier to relate to as he's doing his best with what he has and has experiences similar to all of us when it comes to friends and loved ones. This game is incredible and I'm super excited that they announced they'll keep running with Ichiban. The Yakuza universe can go on forever and I love it for that reason because you NEVER know what to expect with the story and the substories that sometimes beautifully betrays the games' serious tone as a break from the sad moments. Thank you Ryu Ga Gotoku ❤️

All yakuza games are masterpieces 👍

1st Yakuza game for me and i love the turn based strategy games so this is a perfect pick for me.

That taxi thing really annoyed me. I thought I unlocked the waypoint when I saw the interactable so I just walked past and continued on my business.

I'm fully immersed in the business management minigame thanks to your tips while still being in chapter 7.

Just bought the game and these tips are really well! Great video!

Oh man thanks so much for this! I had no idea about the demolitionist passive, and I'm already in chapter 8. I hope I didnt miss too much that, or at least nothing I cant revisit during the main playthrough.

Only played 30 minutes yet I’m already loving this game

Taxi smartphone tip and the job change for the walls in the dungeon were super helpful, thank you!

Best Beginners Guide out here 👍 so much things said no others seemed to care about for a beginners Guide.

Just started this game yesterday after playing 0, kiwami, kiwami 2, yakuza 4, 6 and just finished Judgement. I'm already looking up guides and builds because I'm really excited to get into this game. Planning end game team, hero, hitman, idol and night queen 😍😍

I love this game so much more than I expected to - and this video has been SUPER useful. Thanks!

Cant wait to play this game. I got some other stuff on my catalogue right now but i can see myself enjoying game very much

Thanks man. Very informative vid. Im currently waiting on the game to download and can't wait to get started

Good videos like this make me excited to play the game. I'm only on chapter 3 but loving it!

Loving your yakuza content! Subscribed! Thanks for the videos

I just bought the game on steam and it's currently downloading. Thanks for the useful tips! I'm a big Persona fan and this will be my first Yakuza game.

nearly every dialogue inside the bar made me smile

Just finished the other yakuza games and excited to jump into this one.

I am 35 hours in on chapter 10 at level 33 for Ichiban and level 31-32 for all of my other party members. The difficulty has spiked like crazy. I guess I should have grinded more. I am loving this game though. I can't believe I like this game. I prefer the button-mashing combat of the other Yakuza games, but this is one of the only games I've ever played with turn-based combat that is enjoyable.

I look for a few things when I decide to subscribe to a creator on here - mainly having informative content, brevity, and a good aesthetic/voice/music. You got all 3 in this video. Keep up the good work.

Love how funny the combat is in this game. Can't wait to see a few more QoL improvements in the next game,

Good job bro, nailed it.👍🏿

I finally get the game today, great video!

good job you do on your channel. subbed

Thanks for the info here’s a sub

Holy shit man you saved me so much time with the eri tip, God you are so great 👍 🙌 🙏 ❤ have a great day Mr youtuber

Usually, after about 10 hours of play, a video like this has nothing for me. But this one definitely did, a lot of good advice. Thank you. Consider your plug-in a success lol

Clear and to the point. Ty

First time I've watched a clickbait "TOP TIPS" video and actually gotten top tips out of it. Good stuff.

me fully completing this game when it first came out. IO will say that this is a well put together video for anyone who seems lost

I’m getting closer to end game and am trying to craft the best weapons for each of my party members, I’m just having a hard time hunting down each of the base weapons to upgrade, could you do a vid on all the ultimate weapons for each job and the requirements for upgrading them?

Oh I didn't know that you unlocked new taxi locations by actually interacting with the taxis. I thought it might have something to do with story progression like where the game think you're ready to go. So that's useful I guess even though I already played alot and used enough taxis all over the place to unlock a fair amount of fast travel points it definitely doesn't hurt to have even more that might get me closer to where I want to go. But yeah I would recommend people to not sleep on the "upgrade weapon" tab and skip crafting new weapons because I pretty much ignored it for the longest time thinking that you craft or buy the weapons with the best stats but upgradeable weapons found or bought truly have the best potential because regardless of how bad they are from the start you're often able to upgrade them a ton of times and eventually they'll outshine anything that have high stats from the start. It's kinda deceiving honestly lol but crafting new weapons are pretty useless compared to some upgradeable trash out in the world if you just explore how much you can improve them. Other than that I would suggest that you don't search every nook and cranny of the map thoroughly until your progression allow you to find cats, kappas, breakable barriers, loot, safes, social spots and tojo crests all at once so you don't waste too much time and energy on something you'll redo again and again anyway.

Great tips

would you make video with tips for Shogi, Mahjong and other games in yakuza? there are tutorials with rules, but its kinda hard for me to understand without seeing how I should play the things.....

I didn't know about Demolition job omg!!

Great tips.

Its not a bad idea to grind up at chap 5 those extra items and level/ job levels will help alot.

Decided to start watching some Yakuza 7 videos while I'm still on chapter 14 Didn't realize I was able to recruit Eri during the period that Nanba is gone. Had a real f(rustrating)un time with the story boss at Geomijul

Love the vids - helped me choose the primary classes for most of my party. Any chance you will do a job showcase on the DLC classes? They seem really, really strong.

Thanks for the video, this is a masterpiece of a game. Also love the jrpg element, so refreshing.

Only turn based i ever played and enjoyed was south park lol. Hopefully i like this one as much as the other yakuza games

Thanks for the video! Just pick it up for my series x and was wondering when do you get the ability to switch jobs?

I beat the game without figuring out the taxi thing…welp core memory unlocked for future playthroughs

Perfect top tips

Contains a minor spoiler: Ngl the demolitionist job tip is severely underrated I just passed the whole bloody dungeon of chapter 6 and I just realized how much I probably left behind to not having changed him to that :(

Just bought all the yakuza games but imma start my summer with this one....thanks for the video

Already in chapter 9 and just saw this video. Now I know I missed a lot because I ignored the demolitionist job :(

chapter 7 Joon-Gi Han boss is hard any help be nice thanks what i need to wear i upgraded my bet all the way up till i need a pearl

I got recommended this a few hours after finishing the game lmao

Hey i have a question. Is there a way to download a save file from someone who played the game before and copy it so i can start ng+ without playing the whole story? I hate playing those story games again after finishing them, but i want to change costumes outside battles and play a higher difficulty.

I’m so excited for like a dragon 2. One month away 🎉

Considering how important this management minigame apparently is, are you considering making a guide for it? Because I'm just confused by how it's supposed to work.

I'm 78 hours in and I'm FINALLY on the final chapter. What a thrill man. 😊

Top Tip number 1: Prepare for an unexpected wall of difficulty to hit you at the end of Chapter 12 😂

I have gotten so far in the game and finding levelling up has slowed right down And trying to defeat bosses I feel like my team are way behind level 34 where the bosses are level 40 and 50 so it’s a real grind learning the new systems are still very confusing. Compared to the old Yakuza systems

Thanks for the demolitionist tip

Big tip for anyone playing on PC using a Switch pro controller - the X and Y buttons are swapped. Sounds obvious (and you'll probably get the hang of timed attacks) but that includes Perfect Guard - you don't have terrible timing, you're just pressing the wrong button.

Will you do a more in depth guide for the business minigame?

could use a video about how to propperly run the busiines

I hate jrpg but i was bored and gave it a shot. Looks like ill finish it. Much fun than i expected. Sub stories are funny

@2:59 Note that the name of the job is Foreman and not a Demolitionist.

I bought this game because it was 80+% sale on steam.. my first yakuza game, now I can't wait to buy like a dragon: infinite wealth as soon as I finish this game!!

I can't get enough armor and accessories to get out of Chapter 4. Anybody have any tips?

Turned on my PS5 today ans this game was on there downloaded, not sure if they gave it free sometime with pass, but I am hyped , gonna start playing it.

Didnt want to give this game a chance, but i was so bored and saw it cheap so i took the plunge. Absolutely blown away, and loved it as soon as i got to ijincho. Still think poker is way better for money since its actually fun.

Just started yesterday and now at nearly 4 hours. Holy shit, that play time is filled with ups and downs that I'm surprised that it's only 4 hours. If I have about 26 hours more of this, I'll be happy.

Starting and got to the can ride part with doctor. Money is really hard to get. Forget Taxi.

thanks alot

This game is so fun and nostalgic

Kinda wished I watched this video earlier into my blind run. I'm 41 hours in on Chapter 9 and everything's now starting to kick my ass. Thankfully I have a save that I can load and explore the world more before my lock into story, thanks for the tips!

I hit a difficulty spike in level 8 where some enemies are way harder to defeat. What’s your method for leveling up to make it easier?

Will you be doing overview videos for the two DLC jobs? I really liked your other job showcases.

Baldurs gate 3 and Yakuza 7 made me realize I love turn based games

Any advice for the part they won't let you into seiryu yakuza headquarters?

I can’t believe how much I love this game. I’m not really a fan of turn based games, so I was a but hesitant to pick this game up. I ended up picking up this game ‘for the story’. I gotta say the 1st maybe 5 chapters are a bit slow. I almost gave up. But after that, damn it really opens up. I even fell in love with the turn based combat symtem, and actually now prefer it over the button mashing. I just wish the map is a bit more dense so that I don’t have to walk so far.

Oof I didn't get eri when I should have as I was stuck with 3 party members still made it through though

How do you switch back to your fists

I fear that I’ve put myself into a wall. I threw all my crafting into Ichiban’s Bat. Now I can’t craft the toughest armor or anything

Wow I had to turn my volume all the way up

I'm having trouble winning the management minigame.

I was told that some battle tower was the best thing for cash. I'm 65 hours in at chapter 12 so I guess I'll get back to the management sim

Getting romance workshop level 4 requires about 23 million yen, so the minigame management is best as at rank 1 you get 3 million yen, every shareholder meeting, at first it was a little tough, but eventually I just took off with it wondering why was it so hard, but the truth is it was only hard because it requires time invested in it, and planning, and, when you can easily pay off bank loans every repayment... Use it to build up and improve, if you just need a few million, under the bank, get no more than 2 million yen, useful to boost wellbeing of the workers for really motivated

Been following your tips... but what is a demolitionist.....I don't see that option. Foreman looks like it's the closest. Thanks

I actually like this game more than persona, partly since the characters actually fight themselves and the moves can be hilarious but dam they can hit hard

I just started Persona 5 Royal on PS5. I loved Yakuza. Which of these two do you prefer?

What does the Dexterity stat effect? Is it critical hit rates?

For some reason I read "Don't Ignore Friendship" as "Don't Ichinore Friendship"

Anyone know where muscle soda resides

Does the management mini game appear through story or do i have to find it?

So here's my issue with the friends mechanic...how do I know they when they want to talk to me? I'm on chapter 4...I think and I have had one conversation with the nurse and one with the ex-cop in the bar. The game told me to look out for conversations but I haven't seen any appear on the streets. I have done every sub story I have seen except one as I haven't made it to it yet. Whatever it is it's in the upper right corner of the map.

When is the next yakuza coming out. And can anybody tell me other games like yakuza. Not judgement tho thanks

Does anyone know where i find cockroaches ?

Would you say it’s viable to just go through with each party member in their base classes?

Just got this on sale today, day ichi steelbook edition

Yakuza Dragon Soul Game: Where Can I Find Daunt Gas Ball?

I never played a yakuza game before anyone have suggest for me on plying this game ? Sorry for bad english

Hey man what does MP and HP stand for? I am so confused, I might of missed something earlier on in the game. Sorry for the noob comment, if anybody else could help that would be great...

Somebody help me out! I stuck at bond level 0 and I’m at chapter 7. Is this a glitch?
