Don't feel like tailing Yuan and watching those drawn-out unskippable cutscenes?
Then just don't! Go your own way, the game won't stop you.
......
This is something that was first shown by JustShanz a few years back and it's baffling how easy this is to do. Just abandon Yuan and walk directly to the Moon Child Bldg. No setup, tight timings, precision or anything needed. You can just very casually skip the cutscenes at the knife shop, Cafe Anna and at the medicine stand.

If you want to be fancy, then the map glitch allows you to skip the whole refrigerator scene aswell, saving even more time. You don't need to talk to Ren or buy a map then and there. I just did it because I could / had to. Clearly shows that there is quite some leeway to pull this off. If you do take too long the game will eventually make you fail. Doing this you're just left with the scene at the roof and the diner, wich is not that much of the whole chase thing.

This could be considered a glitch but at least the first skip method has nothing but normal gameplay, so it's rather an oversight. It's funny to see this behavior since the game usually takes quite strict measurements to prevent you from doing things and going to destinations that you know about but Ryo does not yet.
