In a way that's kinda telling of the stories timeline in-game seeing as how in 0 the real estate business was during the bubble era and ichiban confections business is as mentioned in-game a bit behind the times of progressive innovation during Kasuga's time. Long story short: i agree with what you are saying.
@@usermanager8942 the game’s pretty honest in telling you that you need millions to make millions. It’s all just random chance that Ichiban ran into that millionaire dude.
It really helps doing major side content before progressing further in the story. Eri being an extra party member in parts of story really helped when the level gaps are noticeable.
tbh, if you have the management mode dlc, you can literally complete the entire business for top 1, after that, you will have at least 15-20 millions in your pocket. You can then use this money to upgrade your weapons by A VAST amount. For Example, in my gameplay during chapter 5, I could already get Ichiban a Legendary Hero's bat which is the best weapon for his Hero job. The same can be done for his teammates. Then, you can literally go to any 3-star or higher regions to slaughter everyone despite the level gaps to farm exp. You can also use the money to upgrade your gear for defense to compensate for the level gaps. Around some early chapters, the level gaps literally turn into a joke when you get all the best gears and weapons, unless the enemies are like 10 levels ahead of your team.
I actually just got to rank 1 myself earlier today, so if there's any tips I can give, is that: 1. During shareholder battles, think of the colors like pokemon: red beats green, blue beats red, green beats blue, but even if say, one member is blue, they could have a green shield, so you need to use red to break their shield, then green for their hp. A bit confusing, I know, lol. Also, I generally would suggest keeping the first two, the grandma and omlette, with you in the battles, because they're the cheapest out of basically everyone. Speaking of, make sure you keep an eye on your total counter for your employees to use in the battle, so you don't run out. 2. As soon as you unlock the minigame, leaving and doing the nearby sidequest with the baseball player gets you the best guy to put first for all stats, especially since it's third, when maxed, is nearly the highest if not the highest of of all employees. 3. Regardless of stats, different properties need different stats per place. The first slot is always for all three employee stats, but the next could focus on passion, or another product, so focus on employees who excel at those. 4. As a final heads up, as you find out, you only get paid when beating the stockholders meetings. Even at #1, you only get 3 million per battle. Hope this helps along with the video, and have fun playing the game!
@@psycho_ocelot yeah that's the main thing. In the 5-7 cycles, it's the 4 business sessions and stockholder battle. You need to raise it to the max rank in your current section, and then when you're one away, you'll get a special message saying the next stockholder battle will have someone serious to overcome. As you beat them and he gives you more money per section beat, you can use that money to buy better properties to make more money, and so forth.
@@sbfh014 though he only give you money for the first two sections or so, afterwards no more money, I would use a loan, it only 10 days you be making less cause of it but it will help in the long run to get the better properties.
@@Gamemaster-64 yeah, I only really used loans myself if I spent all my money upgrading and wanted to either upgrade more, or heal my employees before the battle for the boost, either way loans can help
@@psycho_ocelot it doesn't really matter if you don't pass his conditions first time round tbh its just a100 thousand yen fine which in the grand scheme of things in the minigame its chump change
I feel likle it was a speed hump in the gam,e that turned alot of people off. I come home from work and i dont wanna learn how to run a candy shop in yakuza.
I beat the minigame by just powering through it one evening. It is sooo useful for the rest of your playthrough (you will easily be able to buy all the gear/items you want and fully upgrade the weapon crafting shop for example) I really recommend doing it as soon as it unlocks. It helps immensely to have the DLC with the UR staff members of course and it also pays off to do a good bunch of sub stories if you don't have the DLC. After being confused for the first few rounds and wondering if I was making shitty business decisions and playing extremely carefully, I relized that it was easier to hit the goals that Nick sets for you than I anticipated. Shuffling the staff around when you get the more expensive properties and want to level those up all the way is a bit challenging at times but fun. I actually used the bank and took out some loans now and then to speed up the process and buy certain properties earlier on and it was fine, you just have to keep in mind that you will be in debt for a few rounds or until you can pay them back in full. I never went for the other loan options. Also Eri is one of my favorite party members right now(I'm still on chapter 9), I got her the Matriarch job and I'm having so much fun with her in the squad.
Yep. I pulled out a 5 mil loan on top of nick’s initial investment and while the first two periods were rough it allowed me to deck out the confectionary and another property to demolish the rest of the game.
@@Nirroir It's absolutely not impossible to beat without cheating. I don't even know what sort of glitches or bugs you could use here. I initally first beat it with the DLC bonus characters, they make that game a lot easier. And afterwards when I played through the game on another console and had no DLCs I just had to hire the right people, recruit random characters on the street as the story progresses(there's some substories that unlock characters for the business mini game, too) and so on. If you need any more tips, check out CyricZ guides on gamefaqs, he's got a great guide on this mini game, too.
I fucking LOVED this mini game. It’s my favorite next to the cabaret club and kiryu’s business management in 0. I played the entire minigame from start to number 1 in one sitting. Was totally engrossed in it.
i fucking love you man. been struggling for hours trying to understand this mini game. My mistake was hiring some of the dlc characters at the beginning. much love!
Thanks for making this guide! Even I had some confusion as to how this worked when I was watching gameplay of it. This'll definitely make it a lot easier when I actually get to this minigame myself!
This minigame is overwhelming at first especially when I worry about Nick's promises but once I figured it out, time to consistently get those green profits to restructure the business and got to rank 100 already just in time before the promised deadline is such a satisfying experience. Atleast I have a more stable way to settle my debts due to Ichiban Confections upgrades along with promoting employees. Good thing I'm used to the shareholder meetings already which is basically rock paper scissors and the RPG style of exploiting weaknesses on that.
Thanks dude a lot of other guides were specifically how to get the best results. But I just wanted an explanation so I could enjoy the minigame and not have it "solved" for me!
Some tips. 1.) You can use Tomoko to man Ichiban conffections by levelling her to at least lvl 20. This will allow you to keep costs low as lower costs means more profit from the business. Do not be fooled into thinking higher stats in a property mean more business. if you can reach the bare minimum for a business then do so. the higher the rarity, the higher the labor costs will be for the business. 2.) I recommend the DLC for the management minigame. it's honestly really good and will help you power through the business management guide. if you don't want to do that, the best employees to have will be employees who have an average speech cost of around 5 to 8. The higher the speech cost the more you eat through your meter in shareholder meetings. Also the level of your employees matter in shareholder battles as Senior Directors give you more meter for your Speech bar than Part time workers. 3.) If you struggle with the color system, don't go looking for the color and instead focus on finding the the weak symbol. the weak symbol is much faster to find and is an obvious clue that you can take advantage off since memorizing the color that beats the other color is much harder. 4.) Your end game Shareholder battle team should be characters you can spam their abilities to. The best characters that do this are from the DLC and they are Majima, Yuki and Aoki. They cover your 3 main colors and all have costs of 4-5. They should always be in your employee lineup and will serve you very well. Especially with running Dianthus, one of the best locations to earn money in the management game and you only need a max lvl Yuki, Aoki and Omelette.
@@muchluck7981 not worth it imo. If they had 1 more mission where we go against nick then maybe but for only ur cards when the mini game is doable with vanilla content then is not
Even though I don't really know how the f*** this minigame works I atleast managed to unlock Eri in about an hour of playing Management so I guess that's a good start,but yes this guide definitely helped me. Thank You
Wow thanks so much for explaining this, i figured out how to master the shareholder meetings but i didn’t realize that 2nd member and 3rd member assignments only affect the service and notability bar, made all the difference.
Some tips: I don't have the dlc on the PC version ( so I didn't test the UR ones, will have to use my PS copy for that) , but for those that don't there are some very good SSRs : - the masked fighter: 800 damage, red attack, 8 cost. Easily one if the best red damage source - Gonzaemon: 800+ damage, blue attack, 8 cost. Same, but blue attack Fully upgraded grandma can fully service Ichiban confections at max. So you don't need any more people for it Some properties to take in consideration by rank: - 50-21: cat's servant -20-11: Waipu productions ( you can maintain it until rank #1) - 10-1 : Dianthus, Media Barter ( you can maintain those 2 forever) - Ichi rank: Mirai tower, jinnmai stadium, red park
I just got to this point on PC today cause I like to take my time with both my RPGs and Yakuza games, so I'm gonna make good use of this. Thanks for the guide, dude.
I'm like 1m yen in debt and i have no idea what the hell i'm even doing, all my employees are tired and so am i. The video explained a ton of stuff the game *should* have done
First let me say thank you! Amazing video full of details I’ve missed. You did a great job explaining everything in detail and I really appreciate you.
Thank you so much for the video. I've managed to deduce some of the things you mention before, but there were others that basically, I kept banging my head to the wall trying to understand what am I doing wrong. Really helpfull and self-explanatory (I'm not sure about the last world, sometimes my english gets a little rusted, even if i have no issues at all)
personally i needed the loans to make the nessecary upgrades needed to boost sales in the property during the first part of it and level employees. i just made sure i used the loan to only spend enough that my profit outweight the expenditure on property upgrade and employees then pay the loan debt back asap while my overall money in the company had enough to pay it back in one transaction.
Do you know why expected sales turn out way less than actual? It seems to happen more on the big yield yeal estate (expected should already factor in costs I think)
Honestly, the DLC characters make this SUPER easy. It's the only DLC that's really worth it! Go for it! completing this mini game early and having millions of yen for weapons and gear and upgrades and ressources is just phenomenal
I completed the whole business story the other night, and if I'm being honest, I still barely understand how shareholder battles worked by the end. I just had a bunch of Ultra Rare characters due to pre order bonuses and Yuki seemed to do a bunch of damage no matter the colour. And considering she only costs 4 per attack I just threw her at everyone and won
My tip is, have all 3 colours represented as your workers, if you select a shareholder who has a green text balloon, select your employee who has a red icon next to their name, since red beat green, it will also say "weak" under the text in the balloon Then when you have to do the timing battle, look at what colour does extra damage, and spam the employee who has that color
from what I see, just keep the rating high like 100%, as long as you get rid of the shield(the text bubble), you are fine not attacking anymore after if you are low on energy. You don't need everyone in hearts to win. Stats, Charisma is your atk and stamina is your hp. really if you always on the attack and remove the shield every time, you don't need to care for stamina at all. Energy cost is how much each attack cost. At best have the highest attack of each color and have them also have the low cost. Early on, it best to just have 3 colors with low cost and one with the highest charisma . use the color that is strong against on the shields then strongest against on the shareholder themselves to raise the multiplier, and when you felt it high enough(I just do it when it at 1.50x, so two hits) then use the heavy hitter.
I didn't know that the Shareholders could sometimes have a Shield Speech Bubble that was different from their own element. Now I know I can reck them easier!
You're correct; what you stated in the video about not needing to take out any loans throughout the duration of the minigame is absolutely right, as it's completely uncessary. However, I unfortunately found myself in a situation where it IS necessary. See, when I first played this minigame, I wasn't exactly sure how I was supposed to manage the business properly. This was primarily due to some convoluted misunderstandings about the purchasing of property and the reselling of said property. So, if you ever happen to come across this comment and have time on your hands, please explain: If I'm below a million dollars on the second term, can I somehow come back from that? Any help would be appreciated Edit: Nevermind, got into the top 100 and got the additional investment. Thanks for the guide, helped me with quotas.
Thanks for the guide. What about investments? I figured commercial deals were always good to take, but you also get random investment proposals quite frequently (even Eri sometimes comments on how shady they are): do you avoid those?
A guide this game needs but no one ever makes even today... Where to get the Best NPC hirelings and what to do to get em.. Have to READ a guide for that..
Not really, some of the characters like Ikari (The YOU'RE WELCOME guy) and the chicken are pretty strong characters to put in to your business. The SRs are still worth it if you don't buy the DLC units.
I beat it. What did it cost you might ask? My sanity. The end game of this minigame is just so goddamn boring. All you do is open for the day, heal your workers, repeat until stockholder battle. Doesn't help the stockholder battles are mind numbingly easy when you have the right workers (the chicken and the grandma are the best).
didn't realise how the shareholder meeting worked at all untill watching this, no idea how I managed to get to around rank 50 before learning that I shouldn't just rely solely on omelette to save me lol
I stopped playing when i came to the business side, for a month, im back now but man, it just annoys the fuck out of me .. I just wanna do Yakuza things i am bussy and can only play 2 hours a day i hate trying to learn this shit TBH when i could be making real money in real life.
I stupidly got to many loans not knowing what I was doing and now I can't rank up because I only have enough money to pay back the debt even each time I am screwed
does anyone know what the icon the employees have that can match the properties mean? Doesn't seem to affect expected profit. Also once you are in the blue for the property I assume raising it further is pointless?
If you fail the first one, he takes ¥40,000 or ¥50,000 out of your company bank account if I remember right. After that the mini game continues as normal until you past his first condition.
My company ran like shit at first, getting loans and stuff. I owed to the first two and the turning point was when I paid of the one with the most intrest. Never lost money again lol
@@teddysaures9540 i wasn't talking about the share holders meeting. i have a chicken and a dog to handle that. but the whole deadline thing is giving me an anxiety lol
@@psycho_ocelot It still easy. Just buy one of the cheaper property, max it then sell it once able. Then repeat while upgrading your starting property and keeping employees happy which needs to be done every 2 turns. Outside of that, remember to upgrade employees, fire unnecessary ones, save some money for advertising so you can get double money.
My only doubt is which characters are the best for shareholder battles and business management in case you don't had to rely on Pre-order or DLC characters.
I hit number one using only the random employees that pop up, the grandma and omelette. Omelette is your key to success as his cheap 5 command cost can be used to spam on shareholders.
If you know what you're doing, you can turn nothing into something. I nearly lost it at the 100-50 mark, but after a bank loan, good employees and high grossing businesses, I balanced it and I was able to pay back the bank in full and made more than I expected. I've finally hit Rank 1 and I am trying to attain all the highest paying businesses at one go, so I got one last small step to go haha!
long time no see Leon i have 2 questions about the minigame 1:how you can get Ichiban's avatar driving a car while opening for bussines and 2:Shareholders meeting(colour weakkneses to be exact i mean which coulour is strong against another)
Think of the colors like pokemon. Fire (red) beats grass (green.) Water (blue) beats fire (red). Grass (Green) beats water (blue.) So whatever color they throw up in shareholders meeting, use an appropriate color to knock the shield off. You can then damage them with other colors normally. Also as far as I've seen, Ichiban is only in the car when you have a commercial active.
imagine playing yakuza and learned how to run businesses in an hour.
I'd say that's rad
Holy shit!
step 1: find nearby mr. shakedown
step 2: beat him up until he vomits money
step 3: realize we're no longer in the bubble era anymore

I want to understand how this works but none of this makes sense to me and I just can’t figure it out.
Its stupidly annoying
One day, I'll will achieve
*GROOVY* Ichiban
Thank you for the amazing content as always, been your fan since 2016.
I'm like 1m yen in debt and i have no idea what the hell i'm even doing, all my employees are tired and so am i. The video explained a ton of stuff the game *should* have done
It does, but to be fair most of it is just trial an error
The first pop up doesn't explain much
First let me say thank you! Amazing video full of details I’ve missed. You did a great job explaining everything in detail and I really appreciate you.
Thank you so much for the video. I've managed to deduce some of the things you mention before, but there were others that basically, I kept banging my head to the wall trying to understand what am I doing wrong.
Really helpfull and self-explanatory (I'm not sure about the last world, sometimes my english gets a little rusted, even if i have no issues at all)
Oh! My God!! This video make me understand that Shared Meeting is Rock Paper Scissor Game. And how to destroy shield. Thank You so much!
personally i needed the loans to make the nessecary upgrades needed to boost sales in the property during the first part of it and level employees. i just made sure i used the loan to only spend enough that my profit outweight the expenditure on property upgrade and employees then pay the loan debt back asap while my overall money in the company had enough to pay it back in one transaction.
Finally someone who can explain this shit ass minigame for me. I've watched ten other tutorials and understood absolutely nothing
Straight up cash flow is what usually raises your share price right? (exception being board meetings I think)
This is really useful, I didn't notice the "auto care" feature in the menu, thanks for the guide
Good thing I didn't waste my money taking economics or business management classes.
Finally a guide that I could understand! thank you
Thanks leon I really needed some help with this. Keep it up!
thanks, this minigame is so damn tedious
You are the only video that confirmed the system maxes or at 3 mil. 💙🙏
thanks a lot, I did not know what I am doing in shareholders meeting, but I failed just once :D now it is gonna be more interesting
Do you know why expected sales turn out way less than actual? It seems to happen more on the big yield yeal estate (expected should already factor in costs I think)
It took me until I was top 100 to figure out how to profit..jesus
Tried everything and still stuck at the begining of this mini game. 3rd share holder meeting and still aint got jack.
Honestly, the DLC characters make this SUPER easy. It's the only DLC that's really worth it! Go for it! completing this mini game early and having millions of yen for weapons and gear and upgrades and ressources is just phenomenal
@Actual name The Management Mode Set!
Thank You Leon, I needed this.
The best guide I’ve found!
The ending is just like an anime ending
I completed the whole business story the other night, and if I'm being honest, I still barely understand how shareholder battles worked by the end.
I just had a bunch of Ultra Rare characters due to pre order bonuses and Yuki seemed to do a bunch of damage no matter the colour. And considering she only costs 4 per attack I just threw her at everyone and won
My tip is, have all 3 colours represented as your workers, if you select a shareholder who has a green text balloon, select your employee who has a red icon next to their name, since red beat green, it will also say "weak" under the text in the balloon
Then when you have to do the timing battle, look at what colour does extra damage, and spam the employee who has that color
from what I see, just keep the rating high like 100%, as long as you get rid of the shield(the text bubble), you are fine not attacking anymore after if you are low on energy. You don't need everyone in hearts to win. Stats, Charisma is your atk and stamina is your hp. really if you always on the attack and remove the shield every time, you don't need to care for stamina at all. Energy cost is how much each attack cost. At best have the highest attack of each color and have them also have the low cost. Early on, it best to just have 3 colors with low cost and one with the highest charisma . use the color that is strong against on the shields then strongest against on the shareholder themselves to raise the multiplier, and when you felt it high enough(I just do it when it at 1.50x, so two hits) then use the heavy hitter.
@@Gamemaster-64 I mean, I've already gotten to rank 1 and can easily stay there, so I didn't really need tips. But I'll keep it in mind
I didn't know that the Shareholders could sometimes have a Shield Speech Bubble that was different from their own element. Now I know I can reck them easier!
You're correct; what you stated in the video about not needing to take out any loans throughout the duration of the minigame is absolutely right, as it's completely uncessary. However, I unfortunately found myself in a situation where it IS necessary. See, when I first played this minigame, I wasn't exactly sure how I was supposed to manage the business properly. This was primarily due to some convoluted misunderstandings about the purchasing of property and the reselling of said property. So, if you ever happen to come across this comment and have time on your hands, please explain: If I'm below a million dollars on the second term, can I somehow come back from that? Any help would be appreciated
Edit: Nevermind, got into the top 100 and got the additional investment. Thanks for the guide, helped me with quotas.
Thanks for the guide. What about investments? I figured commercial deals were always good to take, but you also get random investment proposals quite frequently (even Eri sometimes comments on how shady they are): do you avoid those?
According to online sources, avoid them like the plague!
Great Guide! Bravo sir
I am still confused.
But, I will put everything I got!
Thanks for the guide!
Nice guide thanks!
A guide this game needs but no one ever makes even today... Where to get the Best NPC hirelings and what to do to get em..
Have to READ a guide for that..
No one seems to say weather you get this automatically in the story or you got to go somewhere
I have the DLC with the legacy characters as managers and I went to nearly top 10 before realising all my managers were stuck at level 10
Yep I've reached the point of no return. Ggs
Do i really need to buy dlc units to play this mini game efficiently?
Great video btw.
Not really, some of the characters like Ikari (The YOU'RE WELCOME guy) and the chicken are pretty strong characters to put in to your business.
The SRs are still worth it if you don't buy the DLC units.
If you dont have the dlc bring omelet and clara for the shareholders meeting
great guide! i have 1 question, what can i do if the expected profit is red? ich have all my people happy, where is the problem, what can i do?
I beat it. What did it cost you might ask? My sanity. The end game of this minigame is just so goddamn boring. All you do is open for the day, heal your workers, repeat until stockholder battle. Doesn't help the stockholder battles are mind numbingly easy when you have the right workers (the chicken and the grandma are the best).
didn't realise how the shareholder meeting worked at all untill watching this, no idea how I managed to get to around rank 50 before learning that I shouldn't just rely solely on omelette to save me lol
No way I didn't know about 'auto recovery' 😭 I manually gave each employee a bonus... well now I'm already number #1 so it doesn't matter anymore xc
I suck at this minigame lol.
It’s rough at the beginning since it’s trial and error but it gets easier mid way through
I find it good to have a set of cheap shield breakers and a striker.
I stopped playing when i came to the business side, for a month, im back now but man, it just annoys the fuck out of me .. I just wanna do Yakuza things i am bussy and can only play 2 hours a day i hate trying to learn this shit TBH when i could be making real money in real life.
I stupidly got to many loans not knowing what I was doing and now I can't rank up because I only have enough money to pay back the debt even each time I am screwed
I think I fucked up. I put myself in a huge hole I don't know if I can climb out of it.
Any tips when you are just starting after the 1st shareholders meeting to get up to rank 100?
does anyone know what the icon the employees have that can match the properties mean? Doesn't seem to affect expected profit. Also once you are in the blue for the property I assume raising it further is pointless?
to further clarify it's the icon left of their happiness icon.
Thank you so much
So what actually happens if you fail Nick's conditions?
If you fail the first one, he takes ¥40,000 or ¥50,000 out of your company bank account if I remember right. After that the mini game continues as normal until you past his first condition.
My company ran like shit at first, getting loans and stuff. I owed to the first two and the turning point was when I paid of the one with the most intrest. Never lost money again lol
I came just to see which properties gave the most money
bruh this game's business is so difficult, i feel that if you master it you would be able to manage a real business
Its atcually pretty easy. Its just a rock paper scissor game with the share holder. Just pick employees that have low cost and high persuasivness.
@@teddysaures9540 i wasn't talking about the share holders meeting. i have a chicken and a dog to handle that. but the whole deadline thing is giving me an anxiety lol
@@psycho_ocelot It still easy. Just buy one of the cheaper property, max it then sell it once able. Then repeat while upgrading your starting property and keeping employees happy which needs to be done every 2 turns.
Outside of that, remember to upgrade employees, fire unnecessary ones, save some money for advertising so you can get double money.
Also, is there any secret reward for reaching Rank 1 similar to the 4th fighting styles in Yakuza 0?
Yes. You get a laser special move that attacks everyone in the field and it's very powerful.
It stupid op and stuns everyone. Costs 200mp tho
Ok dumb noob question... Can I start over fresh with this company thing? Lol cuz I failed it miserably
My only doubt is which characters are the best for shareholder battles and business management in case you don't had to rely on Pre-order or DLC characters.
I hit number one using only the random employees that pop up, the grandma and omelette. Omelette is your key to success as his cheap 5 command cost can be used to spam on shareholders.
@@jprec5174 all hail the chicken!
@@Pkblazer099 Omeletto gang gang.
Thank you! :)
Thank you!!!
Anyone got a link to the menu music? Cant find it anywhere
If I take a while to get good at this do I risk reaching a point of no return? Will I run out of money and fail?
If you know what you're doing, you can turn nothing into something. I nearly lost it at the 100-50 mark, but after a bank loan, good employees and high grossing businesses, I balanced it and I was able to pay back the bank in full and made more than I expected. I've finally hit Rank 1 and I am trying to attain all the highest paying businesses at one go, so I got one last small step to go haha!
long time no see Leon i have 2 questions about the minigame 1:how you can get Ichiban's avatar driving a car while opening for bussines and 2:Shareholders meeting(colour weakkneses to be exact i mean which coulour is strong against another)
Think of the colors like pokemon.
Fire (red) beats grass (green.)
Water (blue) beats fire (red).
Grass (Green) beats water (blue.)
So whatever color they throw up in shareholders meeting, use an appropriate color to knock the shield off. You can then damage them with other colors normally.
Also as far as I've seen, Ichiban is only in the car when you have a commercial active.
Hello I like your videos of this saga.
Can you do a video about how to get materials?
I've watched a million guides and none make me understand it I can make profit but it's really fuck all and I'm never making it to 100.
from zero to CEO
I need help guys, I didnt pay attention during the opening and then drove my business into the ground. Any help on recovering?
did you need an actual business course to play this mini game lol jk im still stumped
Thanks this helpt me a lot
The board meeting is easy. The rest of the management is what I don't understand
