In addition, many new attempts have been made, such as changing the battle system from an action to a command-based RPG.

⇒There are also new characters that can be called up with "Delivery Help" and new enemies that stand in your way! New information about PS4's "Yakuza7: Whereabouts of Light and Darkness" has been released!

What was disclosed this time is how to earn "gold" and a new character, Mr. Jiei.

■How to earn "gold" in the early stages of the story
In the beginning of the story, the main character starts with nothing. Therefore, he has to earn money steadily by fishing for vending machines and picking up empty cans.

Earning by fishing for vending machines
When you search near vending machines, you can pick up items and money. Since Kasuga is left in Yokohama penniless and without any equipment, it is difficult for him to win battles. In the early stages of the game, it is important to collect money steadily by scavenging vending machines. If you are lucky, you may be able to get 500 yen, which is a lot of money in the early stages of the game.

Survival Can Picking
Survival Can Picking" is a game in which players are introduced to can-picking jobs. The game is completed when you reach the goal by collecting more than your quota of empty cans within the time limit. However, be careful not to collide with garbage trucks, other homeless people, or drums, as you will lose a large number of empty cans.

Also, if you pick up and use a nutritional drink found in the city, you will be able to run faster for a few seconds in a "boosted" state. Use the boost to run away from other homeless people or to make it to the finish line in time to get a high score. Collected cans are converted into "eco-points," which can be redeemed for a variety of items. Eco-points can also be exchanged for cash, so they will be useful as a money-saving measure during the early stages of homelessness.

Earn money through part-time job quests.
Byte Quest is a new element that can be started by registering as a member of "ByteHero.com," a service that the main character came to know about through a certain event. By completing the quests that appear on the quest list, the player can obtain rewards such as money and items. The quests range from exterminating thugs to finding cats.

When a player accumulates a certain number of "member points," which can be obtained by completing quests, his or her "member rank" will be increased. When your rank goes up, you will receive more powerful items and more difficult quests will come your way.

■About Delivery Help

In addition, the details of "Delivery Help," which allows players to call for powerful helpers during battles, were disclosed. The "Delivery Help" is a function that allows players to call for powerful helpers during battles by paying money.

The "Delivery Help" screen displays the characteristics of the character and the amount of money that can be spent to summon the character.

The number of characters that can be summoned increases as you complete sub-stories and other activities. Each character has a different effect and price, so try them out when you become able to summon them. Naturally, the more expensive the character is, the higher the effect you can expect. Earn lots of money and summon powerful characters.
