I've been avoiding Kiwami 2 stuff but I need to know: Is the music during the whole last sequence/boss fight/following cutscenes still the same?
Final boss? Yes, the music is bloody brilliant. One of the best tracks used in the game if not the best.
Anyone given it a real go yet?
Ah yes, I can now actually answer this question. It handles pretty much just like the one in 0. There are some little changes here and there (mainly that the girls have less health so you really gotta keep an eye on them during the shift, else their morale will crater and cutomers will complain. Hand signals are the same, and fever works the same way as before. Club battles work basically the same way as well but you can actually see the earnings for both clubs in real time which is handy. Plus activating fever also now drains the opponents fever bar as well 1 bar, so that's super useful in wounding your adversary.
Once you hit the second? club GP you'll get a special button mashing QTE at the end of each shift which basically equates to a decent cash bonus and funny cutscene. Oh, and you get commentary from a commentator who oversees the battles and shifts (this really isn't important until you hit the 5th and final GP, where the commentary gets much better and rather entertaining).
Hostess dress up is still in and works the same way. And yes, the song is back!
You can also converse with the hostesses like Majima could train them in 0. At the end of the 4th conversation you unlock the hostess side story (which are often very entertaining). There are 7 hostess side stories in total.
So basically, its very much like 0's but with a couple of small tweaks/improvements. The story that goes with the mode is excellent, and has some great call backs to 0. Definitely one of my favourite bits in the game.
