    Something I want to make clear about the video is that there could be more that these stats influence than what is listed in the video, but I did not want to include them if I could not guarantee the validity of the claim. The reason it is difficult to be sure is because many of the other possible mechanics that the stats could influence are not determined by just one stat, but appear to be influenced by potentially multiple stats and factors. Furthermore, with the limited testing abilities in the game, some mechanics of the game are difficult to efficiently test. I spent countless hours testing all kinds of effects that the stats could have and this video showcases what I was able to determine with relative certainty. I figured I would also share that I have seen some claim that Dexterity affects the chance of applying status effects, the chance of resisting status effects, accuracy and crit rate (both of which I mentioned in the video but the correlation was rather weak). For the most part, this comment combined with what I talked about in the video cover all of the possible effects that I have seen people claim the stats have, but I would only be sure of the ones I mentioned in the video. I just wanted to mention this info so that you all knew of the possibilities and if you so desire you can test them for yourself. As always, thank you all for the support! Wishing you all the best!

      It is not. This is a lie. I ran the sotenbori marathon enough to get Ichis agility to 2k and everyone else has like 400-700. Guess who always goes last? Ichiban. The one with literal 3x agility. The “testing” this guys done is most likely just went to the characters and looked at who had the most agility (for him) and just went with it. To actually prove/disprove this would to actually improve the stats and see what changes, which for me, nothing changed. Agility literally seems to do absolutely nothing. I also have 2.5k dex and I haven’t noticed any significant dodging. But I came to this video hoping it wouldn’t just be a regurgitation of what redditors have already assumed. Sad that that is the case. Still have no clue what dex/agility does.

      @@beastness501 Thanks for taking your time to try and dispel any confusion that there is in the Yakuza Like A Dragon community on the topic of what the stats mean! I appreciate that and that is exactly what I was trying to do with this video. However, I do not appreciate your assumptions that you made and your lack of asking any questions before arriving at your conclusions. Opposed to what you thought, I did not go to Reddit and take what was said there and repost it here; in fact I hardly ever use Reddit and when I do it usually is not for gaming related purposes. My results were derived from the very same testing you state that I should have used, which was I took a character, tested a specific mechanic of the game, then raised a given stat, tested the mechanic again, and then compared the numbers to see any correlations. To determine what mechanics I should test, I used my knowledge of previous RPGs I have played and my knowledge of this game, to hypothesize what facets of the game were most likely affected by a stat and then I did testing to see if that was the case. You assuming that I just copied info from Reddit and, as you put it, "regurgitated" it here is not only incorrect, but it also attempts to discredit the many hours of time I spent testing in game mechanics and creating spreadsheets to catalog the data and determine correlations. Furthermore, I even said in the video that "you should note that there is more at play when it comes to these effects of the Agility stat as the enemies you encounter will change how they work" which is me attempting to explain, as I have elsewhere in the comments, that testing some of these mechanics and getting results that are certain is difficult for a myriad of factors; and that many of these mechanics are most likely not determined solely by a single stat. As for the info you have provided about your Ichiban having 2k agility and still always going last, I will trust that you are telling the truth, but I find that very odd as I have never had Ichiban go last in turn order as far as I can remember. Assuming your info is accurate and true, my best guess is that there is such a discrepancy in Ichiban's stats compared to his teammates that the game is "glitching" or, as I have mentioned, one of the other factors that affect turn order is at play. As for you bringing up dexterity and dodging, I am not sure if you think that I said they are correlated, but I have never said such a thing. Before ending this comment, I would like to say that of course I could be wrong about some of the things I said in the video, but that would not be as a result of copying what others have said or the result of being too lazy to do proper testing, rather it would be because of my limited ability to perfectly test how specific stats affect particular game mechanics. I did the best I could with what I had and I was willing to put large sums of my time in to make it happen. If you can do better and get definite answers to what each of the stats do, I would truly be interested in seeing what you find, but I think the only way this can happen is by looking at the game code and determining it that way. Moreover, I apologize for any mistakes I might have made as my goal is to help players out and provide them with accurate information. In the future, all I ask is that before making accusations about me, it would make more sense to ask me questions first. I hope I cleared up any misconceptions and if you choose to stick around, I would love to see you around the channel. Take care and I wish you all the best!

      @@Skystu you actually don't need to apologize. Your results were based on genuine facts and tests you carried out. I don't like people using harsh words for someone that dedicated his time to give us some useful guide. Of course there were lots of inconsistencies with this game and the developers didn't do extremely good job in explaining everything to clear these confusions. In my case HITMAN always goes first and sometimes takes multiple turns in a single round. I put agility for both accessories. All my characters are level 99 and job rank 99.

    I found an interesting article from Korean threads. The author suspects that agility may be decomposed into two differently weighed portions, one of which determines only the within-party order. Consider Matriarch Eri with agility 800ish and Host Han with 600, where Han still secures the first turn given other things equal. However, if Eri wears Transcendent Insoles, surprisingly she precedes others within the party. In conclusion, each job is assigned a hidden stat which dominates such a huge difference in nominal agility, but we can strategically employ insoles to let others cast AoE cleaners (Windmill, Megaton Throw, Giga Swing, Thumbtack Scatter, etc.) first in turn! Of course, I doubt it works for Adachi unless he is doped with many cans of booster.

    • @Skystu
      @Skystu  Рік тому +1

      Hello! Thanks for leaving this interesting information here. This theory could definitely have some truth to it and it could be easily tested by entering an identical battle encounter, such as those in the Sotenbori Battle Arena, multiple times and taking note of the turn order and then, if the turn order was the same everytime, change the job of a character to that of a job you suspect negatively impacts turn order and see if there is any change.
      However, something to note is that, as I mentioned in my video, there is more at play than just this theory alone would suggest as the turn order for your party changes from battle to battle with no change in stats or anything else. This would seem to mean that the enemies have stats that affect your turn order as well. This is why I stated in my video that some of the mechanics in the game are very likely determined by a combination of several "stats" and not by solely one stat.
      As always, best wishes 🌠 and much ❤️

    • @corfipx

      From my experience, the total agility amount doesn't affect turn order as much as equipment with agility does. I had decked out Ichiban with agility in every piece, making him go first everytime. Meanwhile, Joon Gi Han is stripped of agility in his gear and also has yakuza training gear, which makes him always go last since other group members have agility gear tailored for specific turn order. It took years to tinker around, but once you get enough agility items, you can much more easily adjust the turn order instead of juicing everyone with +5 agility boosters. That being said, there is still some hidden baseline parameter which benefits Joon Gi in terms of character turn order because I really had to nerf Han's agility with yakuza training gear to stop him from going first

      @Skystu  2 роки тому +3

      Thanks for checking out the video! As to your question, those are some great guesses. As I said in the video, I tested crit rate which was true, but when I increased dex by 80, I only got a 1% increase in crit rate, so not the best returns. I have seen many claim online that dex also affects accuracy, but that is hard to test, so I am not sure if it does. Some also say dex affects evasion, but I more saw that being affected by Agility. As for your other guesses of crit damage and status apply chance, those are possibilities that I didn't test and they might be true. If you do try and test to see if they are related to dex, I would love to know. Thanks again and I am wishing the best for you!

      @@piztolfire18 Oh now I understand what you mean. So basically each job has what is called its top weapon which is earned by taking a usually weak weapon from the job and upgrading it up 12 times. The top weapons are always the best weapons for the jobs if you are going based off stats, but sometimes other weapons might have better extra effects, but the stat difference is usually so great that the extra effect does not make up for it. Since you are talking about Bats, I will tell you that the top weapon for the Hero Job is the Legendary Hero's Bat which is obtained by taking the Self Proclaimed Hero's Bat and upgrading it all the way up. The line of upgrades is Self Proclaimed Hero's Bat to Hero's Bat to Heroic Soul Bat to Legendary Hero's Bat. At certain stages of the upgrading, the weapon will change names and usually when it has a name change, one of the material requirements to do the upgrade that will cause the name change is a weapon. For example, I believe when you upgrade the Heroic Soul Bat to the Legendary Hero's Bat, one of the requirements is the Dragon Soul Bat. I have not really upgraded weapons besides the weapons that lead to the top weapons because there is not much of a reason to waste resources on weapons that end up being surpassed, but as far as I am aware one does not do what you called "fusing" to upgrade the other weapons that don't lead to top weapons.

    My biggest problem is the agility stats of my team, in another words, my team's attacking order. Both Ichiban and Adachi has most powerful wide range attack from Foreman job. At the beginning of a fight the enemies tend to stay together so to maximize the damage I want the two of them to attack first. But since it's Saeko and the other dude (not Nanba) has the best agility, they always attack first. Their move is mostly powerful single target and enemies always disperse after the fact. It's super annoying.
