So, today I wanted to share something about this game, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. You know, it’s got these hostess clubs, and I’ve been diving deep into getting those relationships maxed out. Specifically, I wanted to figure out the best answers for Ai, one of the cabaret girls. Let me tell you, it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought.
First off, I started by just playing the game normally. I’d go to the club, chat with Ai, and try to pick answers that I thought she’d like. It was a bit of trial and error, to be honest. I mean, you can kind of gauge her personality, she’s the cheerful, bubbly type. But some of her reactions to my answers really threw me off.
After a few visits, I realized I wasn’t making much progress. My answers were all over the place. Sometimes she’d love what I said, other times, not so much. So, I decided to get a bit more methodical about it. I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down the questions and my responses, along with her reactions. I even gave them a rating, like +2 hearts, +1, or sometimes just a neutral face.
Getting Serious with Notes
- Question about her hobbies? I tried “Reading” once, got a neutral response. Then I tried “Karaoke,” boom, +2 hearts.
- She asked about my ideal type. Said “Someone like you,” which I thought was smooth. Nope, just +1 heart. Later, I tried “Someone who’s always smiling,” and that did the trick, +2 hearts.
- There was this tricky one about dealing with stress. I thought being direct was good, so I said, “Confront it head-on.” Neutral again. But when I chose “Sing it all out,” she loved it, +2 hearts.
It felt like solving a puzzle. Each conversation gave me a few more pieces. I started seeing patterns. Like, she really appreciates answers that are positive and align with her own personality. Saying things that are too serious or logical doesn’t really vibe with her.
I kept at it, visiting her whenever I could in the game, always referring to my notes. I even started anticipating some of her questions, which felt pretty good. It was like I was actually getting to know her, even though she’s, you know, a game character.
Finally, after many in-game days and a lot of note-taking, I managed to max out her relationship meter. It was super satisfying, not just because I “won” that part of the game, but also because I felt like I cracked the code. My little system of tracking her responses actually worked.
So, that’s my experience with figuring out Ai’s best answers in Like a Dragon Gaiden. It turned out to be more than just picking dialogue options. It was a fun little experiment in observation and deduction. And hey, now I’ve got a full notebook of tips if I ever decide to replay that part of the game.
