Post: [US/EU] (CUSA10634) Yakuza Kiwami 2 Super Starter Save V1
08-28-2018, 03:18 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, this one's a quick one for those who don't like starting over every single time in each Yakuza title. I for one love the new Dragon Engine, but I DESPISE to death the whole '5 types of EXP' and such... so here's a NEAR maxed starter save with some fun hacks/modifications thrown in.

Features:

Max money (ok, I spent a bit :P)
Max EXP
All stats maxed and Limit broken (S rank)
Almost all moves and Heat actions gained
All Combat Manuals/Primers read/learnt
All Lifestyle upgrades obtained
Best Gear/Equipment (War God Talisman+Parry Talisman+Four Gods Beads) equipped x2 sets
All Locker keys obtained x90
All Casino/Gambling cheat items obtained x99
Best Weapons (Dragon-SP gun, Photon Blade RG, Rocket Launcher, etc) in Inventory
9999x Majima Construction tickets

Ok, now there's a few things to note:

1) Stats are maxed as far as possible in the beginning area where you are still looking for Daigo. The game is saved inside the Mahjong parlor on Tenkaichi St. Beyond all the Combat Manuals/Primers/Secret Books upgrades being applied, the rest of the upgrades/moves/etc are Story gated and you have to progress the story to get the rest. Everything that can be gotten has been gotten, including the Ultimate Essence which normally requires you to beat Jo Amon first and take his combat manual.

2) All locker keys have been obtained and you have 90 of each... but naturally you can only open each locker once per playthrough. The 90x keys simply means you can play through repeatedly and keep opening them each play without having to re-find them all again. If you do find some, well, it'll add to the count. Likewise with the gambling cheat items you have 99 of each. I tried to make them infinite usage but eh, that didn't work :/

3) There are two sets of the 'best equipment' ie the War God Talisman, Parry Talisman and the Four Gods Beads in this save... this is legitimately impossible to achieve. One set is equipped on Kiryu and the other set is in the Item box storage. The 2nd set is hopefully usable on Majima when you eventually switch to him. I was TRYING to put the 2nd set in his inventory, but couldn't work out how.

Aside from the above, the save is as 'maxed' as you're probably going to get without being in New Game Plus/Premium New Game and is saved on Hard.

The save was made on the EU PSN version... For some reason the save folder ID is CUSA10634 which is the same as the US one so I'm going to assume its all one version. If it doesn't work on the US game then welp... remember this was made on the EU version.

UPDATE: Sorry, the original 'starter' save is gone... So I've uploaded a Premium Adventure save that you can use to start New Game+ with all of the above features intact and more. All abilities have been obtained and fully maxed... There pretty much is nothing left to do... But eh, this'll make some of you happy :P

@ks212, great work! been using your info to edit my save file myself. question though about the weapons. you mention not to mix up the gear w/ the weapons and vice versa and that the weapon section is first. i see in your file a bunch of items in what looks like the gear section w/ permanence is -1. i put some of the weapons from the weapons section in my file and i did get the Dragon-SP gun but the other weapons were just a salt shaker, gary holmes ball and a tempest katana. how did you even work out what item ids were what weapon? im specifically looking for the Rocket Launcher. thanks!


How did I work out ID's? A lot of trial and error and save breaking... Go and buy a weapon in the game to give you a random weapon ID for example and then increment +1 in another slot, then +1 again, etc to see what you get. If your save breaks, well clearly its not a weapon or you've gotten into another 'range' of numbers.

The fact that the game save is in plain text makes it easy to experiment like this. It just takes a lot of patience...

Permeneance -1 = infinite uses. However the game will revert it back to what it should be after one use... I was hoping to make some actual infinite use items but it looks like it isn't possible :/

The rocket launcher actually should be in my save too... I remember putting it in there...

Shit... Forgot about this when I was doing cleaning... I no longer have the 'starter' so I'll have to upload a New Game+ one.

I'm guessing that'll make some ppl happy :P
