New Characters
– The Man Closest to Finding the Esperanza.
Moneylender from the Big Apple
Spade Tucker（CAST: Mugihito）
After finding a new lead on the location of the Esperanza, this New York loan shark traveled all the way to Madlantis to join the hunt. His greed knows no bounds, but he prefers to stay out of harm’s way—usually relying on his burly bodyguards to keep him safe.
– Majima’s Only Sworn Brother and Former Patriarch of the Tojo Clan.
Ex-Saejima Family Patriarch
Taiga Saejima（CAST: Rikiya Koyama）
Following the Great Dissolution, Saejima has been working tirelessly to help the yakuza who were once under the protection of the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance. When he catches wind that Majima was caught in a shipwreck and went missing in Hawaii, he sets out on a solo trip—determined to bring Majima back home.
– Majima’s loyal subordinate with primal fighting instincts.
Ex-Majima Family Member
Daisaku Minami（CAST: Hideo Ishikawa）
The self-proclaimed top underling of the former Majima Family. When he was younger, he was known for his love of karaoke and could often be seen carrying a mic and bursting into song around Kamurocho. He accompanied Majima and Nishida to Hawaii, but the three were separated after an accident at sea.
– A Mild-mannered Yakuza Who Looks Great in a Majima Construction Helmet.
Ex-Majima Family Member
Nishida（CAST: Katsunori Okai）
Though he seems helpless and unreliable, Nishida has overcome many ordeals, such as defusing bombs around Kamurocho with Majima in 2006. Perhaps as a result of putting up with Majima’s antics for years, he has no qualms about rebutting Majima’s outlandish remarks.
Spend Quality Time with Your Comrades Over a Drink!
As you continue interacting with your allies on the sea or around town, you’ll eventually trigger a Drink Link—special conversations that strengthen your bonds. Completing them upgrades your allies’ abilities!
– Noah’s Drink Links
Ever since leaving the confines of Rich Island and setting sail for adventure, Noah enjoys chatting with Majima about their various travels. However, one day, he admits he hasn’t been able to confide his true feelings to his dad, Jason. Majima will need to help Noah address his worries head-on.
– Jason’s Drink Links
Jason, a former treasure hunter, returns to life on the high seas with his son Noah and Majima. While he cares about Noah more than anything, he’s not good at expressing himself, and his intentions are often misunderstood. Over drinks, he and Majima discuss the difficulties of being a parent.
– Masaru’s Drink Links
As a well-traveled chef, Masaru tells tales of his experiences worldwide—but it seems he’s never been to Japan. It’s up to Majima to teach him what makes Japan so great.
Adventure: Enjoy a Plethora of Activities Around Town!
– Chain Hook
A handy tool for exploration and acquiring items. Typically, a sidearm for battle, you can also use the chain hook around town! If you fire at hook points, Majima can make huge jumps to otherwise impossible-to-reach locations or obtain valuable items! The chain hook is also handy for catching bugs and fish for cooking.
– Goro Goro Kitchen
Order up! Chef Majima is here to cook the dishes of your wildest dreams! You’ll find an assortment of cooking ingredients during voyages and around town! Each dish calls for a different cooking method, including Breathing Fire, Slicing and Dicing, and Begone Scum. They also have differing special effects, such as Health Recovery and Heat Recovery!
– Safehouses
Your bases of operation. As you progress through the Main Story, you’ll unlock different safehouses. Stop by to heal, customize Majima’s outfits, use the Item Box, and access many other features. You can even replay conversations with your crew members at certain safehouses.
– Making Equipment
Create the best gear at Julie’s Gearworks! Gather materials and bring them to Julie’s Gearworks in Hawaii to craft cannons, rings, and more. The powerful items you can make here can’t be obtained anywhere else, so stop by whenever you have enough materials!
A Safe Haven for Animals
An animal sanctuary Majima establishes on Rich Island. You can keep any animals you rescue during your journey here!
Find many animal companions, nurture them well, and turn the Goro Kingdom into a cozy paradise!
– Animal Rescue
Throughout Hawaii, you’ll find animals that are hungry or in distress. If you give them a hand, they’ll become fond of Majima and migrate to Rich Island.
– Feeding
If you feed treats to the animals in Goro Kingdom, they’ll reward you with various cooking ingredients, such as meat and fish. Take good care of them, because animals who become attached to you may even join the Goro Pirates!
