Menus

Navigating the various menus in Yakuza 0 is crucial for managing Kiryu and Majima's progress, inventory, and finances. Understanding each section will streamline your gameplay and ensure you're always prepared for the challenges of Kamurocho and Sotenbori.

Accessing the Main Menu

To open the main menu, simply press the OPTIONS button on your PlayStation controller (or the equivalent on other platforms). This will pause the game and bring up a list of primary options.

Main Menu Breakdown

  • Items: This is your inventory. Here you can view, use, or discard items.
    • Consumables: Health recovery items like Staminan X or Tauriner, and Heat-increasing items like Heat Pack. Remember to stock up before tough fights! You can purchase these from convenience stores like Poppo or M Store.
    • Weapons: Equip and manage your various weapons, from Knuckles to Katana. Note that most weapons have limited durability.
    • Gear: Equip protective gear such as Bulletproof Vest or Rogue's Amulet to boost your stats.
    • Valuables: Key items, quest items, and other important but non-consumable objects are stored here.
    • Materials: Items used for crafting or upgrading, particularly important for Majima's Cabaret Club Czar business.
  • Abilities: This is where you spend your hard-earned Yen to unlock new skills and upgrades for Kiryu and Majima.
    • Dragon of Dojima (Kiryu): Focuses on his Brawler, Rush, and Beast styles. Prioritize unlocking Heat Action: Essence of Finishing Blow for Brawler early on.
    • Mad Dog of Shimano (Majima): Focuses on his Thug, Slugger, and Breaker styles. Consider investing in Heat Action: Essence of Grand Slam for Slugger to deal massive damage.
    • Legendary Styles: These become available later in the game. Kiryu's Dragon of Dojima and Majima's Mad Dog of Shimano styles are unlocked through their respective business ventures.
  • Equipment: A quick access menu to change your currently equipped weapon and gear without going through the full inventory.
  • Map: Displays the current area, marking important locations, quest objectives, and available substories. Use the legend to identify different icons. You can set custom waypoints to help navigate.
  • Substories: Tracks your progress on side quests. Check this regularly to see active substories and their current objectives. Completed substories are also listed here.

    • Food & Drink: Eating every item at various restaurants.
    • Business: Progress in Kiryu's Real Estate Royale and Majima's Cabaret Club Czar.
  • Business: Direct access to the menus for Kiryu's Real Estate Royale and Majima's Cabaret Club Czar. This is where you manage properties, employees, and investments.
  • Settings: Adjust game options such as camera control, audio levels, difficulty, and display settings.
  • Save: Manually save your game progress. Always save before major story events or challenging fights!
  • Load: Load a previously saved game.
  • Quit: Exit the game.

  • Right D-Pad: Opens the Equipment menu.
  • Down D-Pad: Opens the Phone, which allows you to call contacts for your business ventures or view messages.
