Abilities locked again in new game+...

[tools guy-kun]

I already bought the abilities you get when you do the business stories, and just now started a new game+, so I’m just starting chapter 1. I noticed that the abilities I used to have are locked again, but they’re highlighted as if I bought them, which I did... are they locked still, or can I use the moves/abilities?

Why not try it? I'm sure at least one of them is a combo you can trigger manually. You'll probably find out quicker yourself than anyone who knows for sure can type out a reply.

Indeed it was there, but you need to progress further until you met Bacchus to unlock those moves/abilities that you've bought.

You can use all the abilities that you have unlocked in new game plus, despite the fact that it looks like it's locked from the beginning, you can use them right away from the get go.

I don’t think that’s true. I’ve tried using Kiryu’s triple strong attack that uses some of his heat gauge, but it would only do the first kick. I made sure I had three heat bars, too. I’ll try again when I meet Bacchus when he becomes a tutor.

Bacchus got nothing to do with a triple triangle attack from the get go, you can use all his heat moves.


"No, all of these things do carry over, your money, your items, your CP and the stuff you unlocked with them, your moves, etc. Only the locks on the upgrade grids are back, which means, if you haven't fully upgraded your combat styles, you have to remove them again. If you already unlocked every move, naturally you can just ignore the locks on the grid.

Also, if you do want to remove the locks, the bars in Real Estate pretty much fill up instantly, if you've beaten the entire quest before."

Pretty much the same as it has been since yakuza 2 or 3.
