Help! I'm missing my Mad Dog Outfit!

[Kalgert]

So, I just finished my journey with the story. Had some laughs, had some good times, and now to spend them on doing exciting stuff... Except... Where's my Mad Dog outfit for Majima?

I picked up both outfits before I got to the Premium Mode, for both Kiryu and Majima. Only Kiryu has his Dragon of Dojima outfit, while Majima is missing his Mad Dog outfit.

Is... This some kind of bug? Am I missing something?

[Kalgert]

Ah... Nevermind, I found it now. I just had to pick up some extra costumes from the Yakuza Clown. Nothing to worry about, ladies and gentlemen, I now look perfect!

Where do you put on these different outfits? I'll be damned if I can find this "hideout" the clown talks about and there's nothing at my house.

The different outfits are only available in Premium Adventure mode after you beat the game. You can change into them in your hideouts (Club Sunshine and Real Estate office).

Awesome, thanks!

That's dumb, I don't see why you can't switch into different clothes as you see fit, and not rely on premium adventure. It's also strange that you can get a jacket that looks like Majimas snake skin jacket, but it doesn't change your appearance when equipped. Things like these, and the model structure of the game, shows how dated their engine actually is.

I don't think it's engine limitation, seeing how there are outfits that change through the story, and you can model swap into story and cutscenes.

It's literally just a matter of copying and pasting a file from one folder to another. If someone isn't willing to do that there's really no sense in complaining. Just be grateful it's that easy to do in the first place

Agreed. There's story-related outfit changes, and they're remarked upon at the time (e.g. Nishiki critquing Kiryu's fashion sense, or lack thereof). At least some of the cut-scenes are probably pre-rendered, too, and they presumably don't have versions for outfits you can't be wearing at that time.


Of course, it's also true that there are not only outfits but armor types, and your armor ends up being invisible and undetectable even in scenes where you rip off your shirt and jacket to show off your tattoos. But then, this is a game in which you can conceal a large arsenal in your pockets (cannon? frozen tuna?), energy drinks can instantly cancel out the effects of bullet and stab wounds, street punks never flee even if you whip out a baseball bat and smash somebody to the ground in the first seconds of a fight, and even utterly brutal beatdowns tend to leave victims conscious and able to speak.

Exactly, the outfits people wear are very significant in this franchise's story. That's why outfit swapping is not available until premium adventure, and if someone really wants to change it in the story they'd have to use mods. I agree with the second part too, this isn't a game about realism. Many RPGs don't change your outfit when you equip armor, and this game takes some inspiration from that genre. They're just dumb things to complain about.
