(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 )
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

do you know how to mod majima construction tickets?

holy crap, you have the war gods talisman unlocked, but i'm on chapter 5 on my own save and spent ages on cabaret too, but i really want this stuff!, very nice save!, btw does the all lockers trophy pop on your save? thx.



do you know how to unlock inf durability on all weapons? this save just shows how contempt save wizard really are.

oh btw can you still access the trainers and their sub stories with your save even though you have the primers and stuff unlocked? i'm thinking of finishing off the cabaret grand prix first and then using your save after, but yeah can you get all the stat trophies still from your save.

All substories etc are doable. Remember NG+ lets you keep everything so there's no reason why stuff will stop working if they're unlocked.

The all lockers trophy will pop after you actually open them.

EDIT: if you want the WGT and Parry talisman on your own save, use the item ID's 1358 and 1359 and edit your own save in SW, using Advanced mode. Just scroll down about halfway to find the equipment section (search for m_equip). Its split into sections so don't go putting the talismans in the Weapons section. Weapons are first (you can tell by the number of uses in the m_permanence) then Gear is next, Gear always has 0 m_permanence. Just play around a bit and you'll work it out, its not hard. For infinite durability on weapons, set the m_permanence to -1.

Note this doesn't always work as after using the weapon it quite often resets Once you get the Weaponomicon manual, weapon durability no longer matters as it gives you an ability that refreshes the durability each time you put it away and pull it out.

would anyone be able to edit majima tickets for me please. ive tried myself but just end up corrupting the save

@ks212 is there an item id list available anywhere?

I'm confused, so since there is no eu version for yakuza kiwami 2. You can use the NA version?

That's what I meant by I think this is universal/one region only. But seeing as I am in the EU region, its safer for me to say this is an EU save.

You can try resigning it for US and most likely it will work because the CUSA number is the same.

Majima tickets are inventory items so don't go putting it in the Weapon or Gear section. Search for "carry_item", this is the start of the Inventory. Look for an unused slot (m_item_id is 0) and put in 2288 for the m_item_id, then in m_count before it put 9999. Done.

thanks mate. managed to do it. can anything be done with the cabaret girls levels?
