-* Every time you see a new cab, go up to it and interact with it. You don't need to go anywhere, but the act of interacting with it adds it to your list of fast travel locations. Otherwise, unlike previous Yakuza games, new cab locations are never added.
+* Ichiban falling in battle is an instant game over, so make his survivability your number one priority.
-* Gear is a huge, huge boost to your defense and attack, especially early game. Saving up to buy shoes is the difference between taking damage and chip damage early on. Be aware the second dungeon in the game will not let you enter it until Ichiban has armor on his head, body, and feet in case you plan to blow your money everywhere.
+* Make sure to interact with each taxi to add it to your list of fast travel locations.
-* The story gate keeps your ability to change jobs until chapter 4 when it makes you learn you can do it/how it works. After that point, if you want to swap jobs you need to physically go back to Hello Work and talk with Ririka, not the director.
+* Gear makes a huge difference, especially early on where just buying shoes greatly reduces the damage you take. Note that you can't enter the second dungeon without Ichiban wearing armor on his head, body, and feet in case you plan on an early spending spree.
-* When you go to a restaurant you may notice there are special combo meals that give perks. The easiest way to find out what they are is to order 1 of everything at the restaurant in question which will unlock all of them at once.
+* The Job change system is unlocked in Chapter 4, after which swapping Jobs is done by physically visiting Hello Work and talking with Ririka (not the director). Once available, it's a good idea to make Ichiban a Foreman to unlock a convenient map traversal skill.
-* You gain no more bond XP with your party members once you've hit their lock until you do the dialog at the bar to progress those conversations, so always be going back to the bar to do their drink link once its ready.
+* Chapter 5 is when you've unlocked most relevant things like Job change and the major side activities, making it a good time to focus more on side content.
-* Kasuga is a load-bearing protagonist. If at any point he dies, it does not matter how many people in your party can revive or how close you were to winning the fight, you instantly game over. So take more care to make him tanky than you necessarily would for another character, because eating a couple crits in a dungeon will fuck you out of a bunch of work unavoidably.
+* Bond XP with your party members is eventually locked until you progress their Drink Links at the Survive Bar, something worth doing whenever you hit a lock.
-* Once you get the ability to change jobs, change Ichiban's job to Foreman. This immediately unlocks an optional but very nice-to-have map traversal skill you can't get otherwise.
+* Every Job has at least two "character skills" which have a red icon even before they're unlocked. Once unlocked, the character can use that skill with any Job.
+* Most area attacks like Pyro Breath work best when set as a shortcut and used right at the start of an encounter, when enemies tend to be close together. Afterwards hitting multiple enemies relies mostly on things like them lining up for Adachi's Reckless Charge targeting whoever's the furthest back.
+* Special combo meals in restaurants can give perks. The easiest method to find them out is ordering one of everything in the given restaurant.
 * Even if you don't care for the management minigame, be sure to play it through the first milestone to unlock the 5th party member.
 * In the managment minigame, Tome Kamataki (the un-fireable grandma) can run a fully upgraded Ichiban Confections by herself around level 20.
-* Every job has at least two "character skills" which have a red icon even before they're unlocked. Character skills can be used no matter what job you're in; once Nanba learns Pyro Breath at Homeless Guy rank 10, he can use it in any other class.
-* Speaking of Pyro Breath, its multi-target effectiveness, like most area attacks, is best when set as a shortcut and used it right at the start of an encounter. Once the bad guys start to spread out, the only really good way to hit more than one is to to wait for a couple dudes to lined up and have Adachi use Reckless Charge on the farthest one.
-* I wouldn't recommend doing too much side content until chapter 5. You'll recruit your fourth party member, get the ability to change jobs, and unlock the major side activities including your main source of money.
