Kazuma Kiryu.
Ten years later...
Fate brings this man back to Kamurocho. What awaited him there was a
dangerous trap, set up by the members of the yakuza family that had a
grudge against him. Mysterious incidents occur and drive Kazuma into a
situation that he cannot escape.
STORY

ADVENTURE MODE
In Adventure Mode, the player will move towards the destination or gather information. Also, various events unfold, such as getting involved in an
incident or accepting requests.
To move around in the area, use the left analog stick. Depending on the amount you push
the left analog stick, the player will either walk
or run. You may not, however, run inside the
shops.
Press the
R button to close the camera in on the character, enlarging
the view. Also, during situations where the camera movement becomes
free such as inside a shop, press the
W button to bring the camera
viewpoint to the direction the player is facing. In places where this is not
possible, an icon will be displayed at the bottom right of the screen to
indicate such.
When a green marker appears over a specific
character on the screen, you can talk to
him/her (or in some cases, listen to what people are saying).
Approach the person until the
Action Display for TALK or HEAR is displayed, then press the
S button.
Certain places in the town can be checked.
When an Action Display for CHECK is displayed, press the
S button. You can either pick

There are various shops, such as restaurants, a drugstore, a pawn shop,
amusement facilities, and a hidden armory in Kamurocho. Some of these
shops will be explained here.
The bar Serena can be used as your hideout. By
spending time here, you can gradually recover
your HP gauge. While in the hideout, the following actions can be taken:
To transfer items to or from the Item Box,
select an item (or open space) from both item
lists displayed on the screen. If an item is
selected in both lists, they will replace each
other. Note that weapons can be transferred
only to the top row of your list, and other
items to the remaining rows. Please also see
ITEMS, under PAUSEMENU, on p.30.
Like Transfer Items at Hideout, you can
store items. You can exchange items you
stored at Hideout or through item boxes any
time.
You can save your game progress at
telephone boxes located throughout
the town, or telephones inside buildings. It's a good idea to save often,
once you find a telephone.
There are many restaurants throughout the town. You can regain HP gauge
by eating, so you should stop by if you have taken any damage from battles.
Restaurants are eat-in only — no take-out service is available.
A fast food chain, specializing in Beef Bowl. The
stores are always packed with people, located on the
ever-crowded Tenkaichi St., and on Taihei Blvd. which
crosses through the heart of Kamurocho. Though
they only sell Beef Bowl, it comes in three sizes:
Regular, Large, and Extra Large.
A coffee shop located on Nakamichi St. Though they
sell mostly drinks, they also have "Mille Crepe Cake,"
a cake with several layers of fresh cream and thin
pancakes. Our recommendation: "Coffee of the Day."
You can enjoy several kinds of house-blended coffee
which is changed on daily basis for ¥400.
An ice cream parlor located on Tenkaichi St.; very
popular among young ladies. They sell single scoops
of three different flavors (vanilla, strawberry, and
chocolate), and a triple that includes all three. At
¥430, a triple is very economical compared to single
which sells for ¥280.
A fast food shop located on Nakamichi St. that sells
hamburgers. The prices are very reasonable with various food on the menu. They also have combos,
which are more economical then ordering one-byone.
A noodle shop that sells ramen, located on Pink Alley.
Despite their bad reputation for taste, they are always
crowded. They have three kinds of ramen, and each
is quite filling. Rumor has it that people sometimes
come with unusual requests.
