Save editor or cheat engine table to change difficulty?

[jepeman]

First of all, playing Gamepass version.
Is there any way to permanently lower difficulty?
I know you can sometimes temporarily lower by dying repeatedly, Im looking to permanently lower to make the gameplay faster.
Restarting/new game isn't a possibility. Maybe if someone has a savegame on easy at the very start of chapter 5 with all/most of the available sidestuff from ch 1, 2, 3 & 4 done?
Couldn't find any cheat engine tables for this game yet, just trainers that are most likely just fakes and trojans/virus infected scams.

Well for now I guess you're stuck unless you start over or get another save from somewhere else.

Does get flagged a bit, possibly false flags.

Will continue playing normally, just already tired of the constant blocking, even the random street thugs are blockmasters. They're not too bad, but doing the training with the weapon master was very annoying, especially with kali sticks. Worried the game will get terrible like that, especially since the general consensus seems to be that the game is a blocking hell.

I've found this, you can use an Hex Editor to modify the difficulty of your savegame: https://www.reddit.com/r/yakuzagames/comments/leyvkh/so_i_found_a_way_to_change_yakuza_3_remastereds/
