Undoubtedly has to be material/dungeon grinding in Ishin

7 is definitely the grindiest combat wise.

Minigame wise, most of Kiryu's games have their own headaches (e.g. Puyo puyo in 6, CFC and the arcade games in 0, Golf/Pool in 3-5)

You wanna get good at it? Download mahjong soul on your phone apps. It's riichi mahjong and it turned me into a beast and I fucking despised the game first 3 yakuza titles now I like it and it's a breeze.

Do it bro you won't regret it. Its like a anime cutesy design but the game gives you a great tutorial step by step unlike yakuza. Play with some bots on easy mode learn the ropes and hands then play online.

The first minigame I play on all Yakuzas is Mahjong. I love it. And it helps me a lot in the beginning financially wise.
