Yakuza: Like a Dragon<\/em><\/a> is a fresh addition to the series as it mixes up the normal format by introducing RPG gameplay<\/a>. While Xbox fans are already enjoying this title, PlayStation 5 players have to wait\u00a0until March to get their hands on it.\u00a0As a result of the change in genre, even long time Yakuza<\/em><\/a> players found much of the game to be a new experience with additional features to learn.<\/p>\n

Whether players were new to the franchise or not, there are a number of mistakes that everyone made during their first playthrough of Like a Dragon<\/em>. Check out the list below for a compilation of the top ten.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>They Fail to Look Both Ways<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Undoubtedly, everyone who has played Yakuza: Like a Dragon<\/em> got hit by this, literally. Players who don’t look both ways before crossing the road in Like a Dragon<\/em> often find themselves getting hit by a car, which deals a whopping 100 damage each time.<\/p>\n

One minute players are looking to the convenience store across the street, the next minute they’re getting knocked to the ground. There’s even a trophy\/achievement related\u00a0to this called “Fight on the sidewalk!”, which is earned by having someone hit by a car during battle.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>They\u00a0Don’t Save Often<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The golden rule of any RPG is to keep more than one save file so that if you miss something, you can backtrack to an earlier save without having to replay everything again. In fact, even with the earlier Yakuza<\/em> titles that weren’t proper RPGs, this was beneficial too, as there were plenty of missable trophies\/achievements and content.<\/p>\n

While there doesn’t seem to be any\u00a0missable accolades for Like a Dragon<\/em>\u00a0and sub-stories don’t appear to lockout either, saving regularly is still useful to correct any mistakes without losing a lot of progress. For example,\u00a0players may want to\u00a0reload after forfeiting a small fortune due to losing\u00a0a battle<\/a> when carrying a lot of cash, or wanting a second chance at a test without paying again.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>They Don’t Use ATMs<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Speaking of players forfeiting their hard-earned cash when losing in battle, there’s another mistake related to this that people make \u2014 they don’t use\u00a0ATMs. When players\u00a0are defeated in battle,\u00a0they automatically lose half of their money.<\/p>\n

This could mean that players are losing millions of yen at a time, and while\u00a0players can reload an earlier save to recoup their losses,\u00a0they could also just keep the majority of their money safe in an ATM. There are plenty of ATM machines around the map to ensure players have easy access to their funds.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>They Don’t Collect Items<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A lot of players can’t be bothered to keep stopping to collect items, whether it’s interacting with bugs, glowing\u00a0orbs on the floor for crafting materials, or even treasure hunting in bins and underneath machines. However, players are doing themselves a disservice in the long run by not collecting these.<\/p>\n

Not only are these items used in the crafting and upgrading of weapons, but many of them are used in Part-Time Hero requests, which result in some good rewards and are an easy way to earn some yen.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>They Don’t Utilize Romance Workshop<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Romance Workshop can be accessed from the beginning of chapter five and is a place where\u00a0players can craft and upgrade their weapons and equipment. All too many players neglect this place and instead opt to spend their yen on weapons and gear from stores.<\/p>\n

However, the gear available from Romance Workshop is so much better than any store-bought item. Additionally, many players forget to upgrade Romance Workshop by\u00a0investing some cash into the place, which unlocks even more crafting recipes and upgrade options<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>They Neglect Personality Stats<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There are six personality stats in Like a Dragon<\/em>; Passion, Confidence, Charisma, Kindness, Intellect, and Style. Players can raise their personality stats in various ways, such as by taking tests at\u00a0Ounabara Vocational School, playing certain mini-games, completing sub-stories, dialogue choices, and more.<\/p>\n

Most players don’t bother to go out of their way to increase Ichiban’s stats, not realizing what they are missing out on. This does more than decide whether Ichiban is cool or not, increased personality stats unlock more jobs, allows\u00a0players to progress in romances with NPCs, boosts status resistances, and can even unlock certain secret areas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>They Don’t Raise Bond Levels<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Players are able to raise their bond levels\u00a0with their party members<\/a>\u00a0by having a Drink Link conversation with them in Survive Bar each time their bond bars have been\u00a0maxed out. These meters are filled by completing battles,\u00a0sharing meals, going to the movie theatre together, and other various activities.<\/p>\n

It’s worth raising each companion’s bond level to the max (level 5), as in doing so that particular companion will unlock more job opportunities, as well as gain new special moves that they can use in battle.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>They Don’t Mix Up Their Party<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

All too often players don’t mix up their party set-up, this goes for both party composition in terms of party members, as well as the job role of each companion<\/a> too. As with any RPG, a more efficient party set-up involves a healer, a tank, and two DPS roles, so this would be a good system to have in place in Like a Dragon<\/em> too.<\/p>\n

Some party members are better at certain roles than others,\u00a0and having a mix of damage types is also beneficial to be able to maximize the weaknesses of enemies. Players should mix their companions in and out and try different job roles with each one to find a party setup that suits them.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>They Don’t Complete Substories<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Substories are the\u00a0Yakuza <\/em>franchise’s term for sidequests and there are plenty of them dotted all around the city just waiting to be found. While many players might just dismiss these as additional story content, completing substories has a wealth of worthwhile rewards on offer, so they are something that players really shouldn’t neglect.<\/p>\n

Completing certain substories results in new Poundmates to summon, more employees for the Property Management mini-game<\/a>, weapons, equipment, money, and of course, hilarious little storylines that could only be found in the crazy world of the Yakuza<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>They Use Techincal Books When Low Level<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There are various technical books that\u00a0players can find or purchase throughout their playthrough of Like a Dragon<\/em>, and these special manuals can increase specific job ranks<\/a> for one character when used. For example, the Justice Manual item\u00a0increases the job\u00a0rank Detective by 1.<\/p>\n

However, players often make a real faux pas with these items, as they use them way too soon when their characters are still relatively low in level. As characters level up in job ranks, it requires all the more exp until they can rank up again, so players should be saving these manuals for those higher, harder to reach rank levels.<\/p>\n
