Yakuza Kiwami 2 - Prepare to Die Edition

Prepare to Die Edition Change Log:

General Changes:

- Improved Hard and Legend difficulties.

- Readjusted gear properties and values (gear is now more unique, split into tiers and sets have more impact, also there are more set combinations and even a hidden set).

- Guns are dangerous, always carry gun resistance armor with you.

- Readjusted food/medicine cost and recovery values to be more appealing.

- Readjusted sodas buffs potency and duration. Weak sodas last longer, powerful sodas don't last long (but there are food items at Poppo that cost a lot and offer an increased duration, though you can only carry a few at a time).

- Most Story Bosses and some mini-bosses have more hp and damage.

- Kuranosuke Hattori uses Yagami's Crane and Tiger moves.

- Golden Samurai has better spear moves.

- Pro boxer enemies (coliseum Knockout Fujiki, Max Yonamine etc) have some extra moves.

- Sango Amon no longer uses the Rocket Launcher (even tho he still has it) and now uses a combination of Joon-gi Han, Someya and Masuzoe's moves.

- Jiro Amon no longer uses the SMG (even tho he still has it) and now uses a moveset similar to Yakuza 6 Jo Amon (minus the drones and exploding robots).

- Increased exp gained from street fights and encounters have up to 7 goons.

- Increased exp gained from karaoke.

- Readjusted skill/stats exp requirements, readjusted description and prerequisite skills for Style Switching.

- Increased Extreme Heat activation cost and drain (extreme heat mode is not longer the "get out of jail" card used to prevent death).

- Start with less attack, defense, health and heat, which means less stats by the end of the game (also reduced attack cap). This makes sets more relevant to the overall game as they will balance out survivability and offensive capability.

- Cabaret Tycoons are no longer guaranteed to extend the sessions, but Requests still have a high chance to extend, while generating a bit less than Tycoons.

- Yuki has full S rank in all categories and improved stats, true to her diamond status.
