How to unlock the Memo Master achievement in Yakuza 4 Remastered - Definitive Guide
Memos are things you can find in the game that’ll tell you more about game mechanics whether it be about 1 of the 4 characters fighting styles or something about the city. You’ll find a majority of these during your regular playthrough simply by doing the action or by talking to people around the city that have a blue arrow over their heads. After you've gotten your last memo check the memo list cause the achievement may not unlock automatically when you get your last memo. This list comes from CyricZ from gamefaq which has made amazing guides for all the Yakuza games.

I did this twice and I still can’t get the achievement. This is the last achievement I need to do and it won’t pop. What am I doing wrong?
