In lieu of QTEs affecting outcomes, your attacks are simply assigned number values at random. However, if you disable the prompts altogether, it seems the game gets a bit more generous.

If you fail these events, you suffer the reverse effects. If you nail these events in-game, you deal enhanced damage and receive less punishment. If you go into the game options, you'll see the ability to disable action prompts, which are in-game quicktime events (QTEs) that happen during attack and defense animations. I'm not sure if its effects are even real or if I'm imagining them, but if it works, it's too juicy not to share.

Do not suffer through Like a Dragon's annoying mid-game bosses with the unfair difficulty modifier of a three-man team.

The game won't adequately warn or educate you about any of this. That's why you'll want the special party member from the business management minigame, to fill in that empty fourth slot. You don't get Nanba back right after that fight, meaning the next few chapters leave you stranded with only three party members as you go up against increasingly difficult bosses. You'll have to fight the boss at the end of the Geomijul with just three party members instead of the usual four. By the end of the Geomijul mission, you're going to lose Nanba and any gear he's wearing. Before you say 'yes,' stock up on healing items, and deck out everyone in your party (besides Nanba) to the absolute limit. SPOILERS AHEAD: Toward the middle of the game, a pink-haired seductress will appear and entice you to investigate 'the Geomijul.' Ichiban and company will then indirectly ask you, the player, if you're truly ready for the challenge. (Image credit: Sega) Prepare for mid-game nonsense
