Yakuza 0: The Best Real Estate Advisors (How To Get Them And Their Rank)
At a glance, one would think that Yakuza 0 is nothing more than an extremely serious drama about life in the yakuza, which it certainly is... but the game is so much more than just that one binary definition. Yakuza 0 is a brilliant combination of everything people expect in a video game — especially when it comes to fun — and wraps it all in a package that should seem completely at odds with the serious tone of the main story, yet is anything but.
A great example of this is Real Estate Royale, an absolutely bonkers side quest that's somehow critical to unlocking the full potential of Kiryu's fighting abilities. A big part of this virtual real estate management is hiring advisors that can increase the quality and revenue of each property. Here are the best advisors in the game that can make the act of developing properties an absolute breeze.
The substory where Kiryu needs to teach a dominatrix how to do her job is easily one of the most hilarious moments in Yakuza 0. This hilarity has another bonus at the end in the form of an advisor who will prove to be a massive help in the early goings of Real Estate Royale.
While his expertise in corporate building management definitely helps a ton, this usefulness ends up waning a bit as the player ends up getting better and more competent advisors over time. That being said, the higher-level advisor who's just as much of an expert in corporate building management as the Masochistic Man comes after quite some time, which makes the latter's relevance quite notable early on.
The idea of a group being the face of hooliganism yet lacking a hardcore attitude themselves is quite hilarious, and this is exactly what happens with the Yokomichi Silvers in Yakuza 0. In a side-splitting turn of events, Kiryu is tasked with aiding this group in making a public appearance and portraying them in a hardcore light.
Completing this substory allows players to use one of the members of the Yokomichi Silvers — Krazy Kyo — as an advisor. His expertise in the entertainment industry is very much welcome, especially since the advisors who are better than him are far too costly to be relied upon early on.
Going to Earth Angel in the Champion District after becoming the manager of Kamurocho Real Estate is highly recommended. Players will be rewarded for this effort with an advisor who specializes in restaurants and eateries.
However, while Mama-san might seem rather valuable in this regard, keep in mind that restaurants net the least amount of income in Real Estate Royale. Therefore, Mama-san should only be used when the player has surplus funds to afford her. Otherwise, she just ends up being a waste of hard-earned cash early on.
As the player progresses through Real Estate Royale, they'll unlock a substory featuring a rather intriguing woman and a hefty amount of humor along the way.
Marusa Marui is a tax investigator who's keeping tabs on the real estate office next to Kiryu. After finding this out and being asked for help, Kiryu ends up caught in a hilarious turn of events as he's forced into pretending to be Marui's partner, before distracting the person being investigated as the investigator looks for evidence in a rather crude fashion.
After finishing this substory, Marusa ends up joining Kamurocho Real Estate as an advisor with a ton of expertise in office management, easily deposing Krazy Kyo as the best expert in this regard.
In order to unlock the substory that nets this character, the player needs to finish Majima's substory Rise of a Dragon first. After this, a rather mysterious fortune teller will appear in Kamurocho. Kiryu can meet this figure in Senryo Avenue and initiate a rather odd substory that feels quite mysterious.
After finishing this substory, the fortune teller will appear near Kiryu's office and offer her services as an advisor. While she's a respectable Rank 4 advisor, her usefulness abates somewhat when people realize that they can pay just a few million more to enjoy the same level of expertise in the entertainment industry but at a higher rank.
Similar to the fortune teller, the Media King suffers as an advisor since he's unlocked at a time when there's a way better alternative, one who is also an expert in managing supermarts and the like.
In fact, the Media King is also the last advisor that is unlocked, becoming available after the player manages to conquer all the territories in Kamurocho, making his services quite unnecessary. That being said, he's a jack-of-all-trades and falters only when it comes to the pleasure industry, a base that is covered by the next advisor on this list.
The Pleasure King is easily one of the more memorable members of the Five Billionaires, with his manipulative personality being completely hidden by his deceptively sweet veneer. This makes the act of beating the Pleasure King all the more satisfying, and the fact that he joins the Kamurocho Real Estate and offers his services as an advisor is the perfect icing on the cake.
His expertise in the pleasure industry is second to none — obviously enough — making the Pleasure King extremely valuable when it comes to leveling up these high-revenue properties.
The idea of hiring a character heavily inspired by Michael Jackson as an advisor for Kiryu's real estate venture sounds like the most insane thing in the world, but one of the Yakuza series' strongest points is definitely its high frequency of surreal humor.
So, in a way, it only makes sense that Miracle Johnson ends up becoming an advisor for Kamurocho Real Estate. Similarly, the fact that he's the most efficient and expensive advisor is also not surprising in the slightest.
To net Miracle as an advisor, the player needs to accomplish two substories featuring this character — Miracle on Tenkaichi Street and Miracle at Maharaja.
