TheElecPlay Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Game design difference. When you get to Chapter 4 in the original Yakuza 2, there are certain aspects of this chapter where you'll have to 'think outside the box' especially when you have to talk to the Mahjong Informant. Remember, always talk to Kurokawa (the purple suited thug that kisses up to Kiryu) so you won't have to pay a dime to the Informant when he asks for 300 grand : Edited September 7, 2018 by noahez92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElecPlay Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Tip: Visit the acupuncture clinic in Soutenbori to gain skills Kiryu learned from Kiwami 1. You'll need to frequently visit the clinic from time to time upon completing substories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElecPlay Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Minor game design difference: When Kiryu and Sayama enter the Millennium Tower to meet with The Florist of Sai, there is a cutscene in the original Yakuza 2 that was removed in Kiwami 2. Edited September 18, 2018 by noahez92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElecPlay Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Game design difference: In Chapter 10, Kiryu, Sayama and Date have a discussion about Bessho and Kawara. In the original Yakuza 2, the cutscene takes place at the docks where Kiryu fought against the Shimano Family where he learned the truth about his parents. In Kiwami 2, the cutscene takes place at the rooftops right above Serena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElecPlay Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Scenario difference: During the sweet montage where Kiryu and Sayama spend some quality time together in Soutenbori, there's a segment in the original Yakuza 2 that's missing in Kiwami 2. In the original, Kiryu and Sayama are at the pachislots. Kiryu loses his chance at the slot machines but Sayama gets all Lucky 7's. This scene is missing in Kiwami 2.

TheElecPlay Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 I've been told that the US/EU versions of Kiwami 2 have adjusted the LEGENDS difficulty. I wouldn't know since I only own the Japanese version of the game.
