The guide is broken down into several major sections, starting with an introduction and FAQ, followed by the basics of gameplay including controls, menus, and general tips. It then dives into exploring Kamurocho, detailing city attractions, important characters, and a glossary of terms.
Combat and abilities are covered extensively, with sections dedicated to basic combat, upgrading, and specific fighting styles for each of the four protagonists: Shun Akiyama (Phoenix Talons), Taiga Saejima (Tiger Claws), Masayoshi Tanimura (Turtle Shell), and Kazuma Kiryu (Dragon Fists). The core of the guide is the Story Walkthrough, which is divided into five parts: Part 1 - Shun Akiyama, Part 2 - Taiga Saejima, Part 3 - Masayoshi Tanimura, Part 4 - Kazuma Kiryu, and the Finale - Requiem.
Beyond the main story, the guide offers detailed breakdowns of Substories, categorized by each character, and a comprehensive look at the Cabaret Clubs, including overviews, specific club details, and management aspects like the Hostess Maker.
