This is a requested NGU repost, as part of my project to preserve saves. Credits to ks212 from NGU.
Overview:
Save Wizard finally added support for this after a week so here's my last contribution for this entire Remastered collection. Save is at the very first save point inside the taxi office right after you gain control of Kiryu. I am so glad in this game there is literally a save point RIGHT where you start! As mentioned in my Yakuza 4 starter save thread, Yakuza 5 works basically like 4 which means 5 characters, 5 individual inventories and stash boxes that eventually come together at the very end into one. This is annoying, yes, but nothing can be done about it, it is what it is.
Save features:
* All characters Level 19 with 1 exp to go to ding 20, just gain any exp at all to hit max level.
* All Weapons, Armor and Accessories in the Storage Boxes (separated amongst the characters, READ below!)
* All Weapon Skills mastered & 99 Soul Orbs for all characters
In addition every character has a small selection of what I consider 'essential' or otherwise very good items, basically everyone has the War God Talisman, the Hercules Gloves (ESSENTIAL in this game!) and a bunch of things that they can use to make their sections easier. Kiryu has all the Armor, Saejima has all the Guns/Firearms, Akiyama has all the Accessories and fun items like 99 of all the Gambling cheat items and Shinada has all the Melee Weapons. Like with my Yakuza 4 save, Akiyama is the one holding all the Silver/Gold/Platinum plates this time as I found giving him Max Money was kind of annoying, easier to give him all the plates instead as items DO stack in the Storage Box this time round. If you need money, go sell those. All the other characters can mooch off ya boi Akiyama when the inventories merge :P
This also is to kind of maintain the correct feel in the game as Kiryu is pretty poor, Saejima frigging goes to jail and Shinada's a total washout, none of these guys have money :P Haruka's inventory contains stuff that is unique to her only. Her inventory actually does not merge with the others despite her section being shared with Akiyama, so she's only been given things she can actually use, which isn't much.
One last thing is that the save does NOT contain all the miscellaneous items. I really could not be bothered putting every single damn item in. I only put in all the useful stuff. There may be a few of the useless items scattered here and there as I used an autorepeater sort of method to create this save so some may have snuck in. It is not my intent to provide ALL items, only Weapons, Armor and Accessories, so don't complain there's all the missing misc stuff.
Oh and since some people are probably going to complain... This save MAY or MAY NOT trigger Trophies, it MAY or MAY NOT also lock out some Trophies. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I do not give a single flying remote fuck for Trophies. I couldn't give the tiniest fuck if they do not pop for you. If this is a problem DO NOT USE MY SAVE. End of discussion. This save is NOT for Trophy collecting. Someone else can and probably will make a save set somewhere down the line for that.
