Very nice addition to the series. If I could make one suggestion it'd be to make managing your items easier. A way to filter or sort them by stat would help immensely in the tedium in selling ones you don't need and keeping/finding ones you do.
I don't see why bike stats/attributes should be held in the Guide/Hints section and not right at the selection screen to give you a better idea, that's the only real criticism. 4/5
To 007QoS, if you could get achievements by coming in last there's no challenge to most of them, front-wheeling for 5 seconds and coming in 9th is infinitely harder than messing around and taking half an hour to do it.
To those who are frustrated with the East Empire's "autokill" ability. It's Guillotine Blade, same as the male ninja's ability. Those who can't read the description (I play Sieg myself) here's the key part, "damage depending on the target's defense." I struggled w/ it trying to kill them before they got it off but then it just became a game of odds.
Take off your armor, it'll do 0, yes ZERO, damage to you. As Sieg I had 100 Dex anyways so my dodge was high enough I barely felt a difference w/ 2000 HPs.
