How Many Chapters Are There In LaD: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii?

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is the second title in the Gaiden spin-off series, even if it only kept the Gaiden subtitle in Japan. Much the same as Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, Pirate Yakuza fills the gap between main titles, taking place six months after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Your average playthrough, mainly focusing on the storyline, will likely take you about 15-16 hours. This will may be longer the harder the difficulty you choose, as you might have to grind more to get better abilities, ship weapons, and crew mates to bolster your team and ship enough to beat storyline bosses.

The more side content you do, naturally the longer your playtime will be. Your average playthrough while dabbling with your fair share of side content is likely to be about 20-22 hours.
