Useful Tips

• Don’t only chase the main story: In an RPG, side activities are worth your time. Substories work similarly to the “substory” style found in games like Yakuza: you send Kenshiro on short detours that are enjoyable while earning EXP (Destiny Points), cash, and items. Cash and items are always useful, but Destiny Points are your preferred currency because they help you upgrade Ken’s abilities.
• Some substories require extra activities: To unlock certain substories, you may need to take part in additional diversions and challenges, such as managing a Hostess Bar, working as a bartender elsewhere, hunting bounties, and even becoming a top-tier race car driver. Taking care of the bar—and leaning into bounty hunting (minus the stereotypes)—tends to pay off with some of the best rewards.
• Upgrade everything: In RPG-style progression, upgrades matter—so keep investing in improvements as you go.
