Part I Akiyama = After your unavoidable meeting with Saigo in ch3, you'll find yourself on the West rooftops. If you win the fight without completing all of them, the game will ask you if you want to go forward or retry. You can just ignore all the tutorial challenges. Please remember that in III-2, the conversation between Tanimura and Katsuragi that starts near the Millenium Tower is impossible to skip so you can go for a toilet break or grab yourself a snack because you'll have about 4 minutes to kill. For all the other dialogues, you must hold + to make the lines go faster. In the main menu, go to the Options and make sure you've turned on the "Skip Cutscenes". For the sake of simplicity, I will refer to parts (Characters Arcs) as I,II,III etc + the character and chapters as 1,2,3 etc : Here are some tips you can use during your Hard and Legend runs in order to make this a bit shorter and enjoyable. However, you should first complete it on Normal for 2 reasons : for the Indomitable achievement (beating the game on Normal without switching to Easy) + to have all the leisure to max out your abilities and unlock all the other achievements (PS : the Amon fight is said to be near impossible on Hard so Normal is where you should do it). Legend Mode is available only after beating the game on Hard.


Friendly reminder that if you lose a fight, you are sent back to your last save point ! If you don't know what happens yet, that means this guide doesn't concern you just yet so first enjoy this game in Normal and you can come back here when you're ready to tackle a more challenging run. IMPORTANT This is a guide for the Legend mode, as such I will not hide parts that could be considered spoilers since this should be your third (or at least second) playthrough.
