I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!

Kenzan is incredibly good. It's top 3 for me, easily.

WHERE TO FIND ALL THE HOSTESSES FOR MAJIMA

Notes that there are 10 hostesses that you need to pay CP for at the shrine. There are 4 gold, 4 silver, and 2 bronze.

5 hostesses are unlocked via substory or befriending someone. If you unlock someone via substory, they will likely be right next to Club Sunshine once its unlocked afterwards, with the exception of Unknown.

The remaining non-Platinum hostesses are found around the map, and you'll need to buy something from Le Marche to bribe them to join. 3 of them may not show up if properly inspect Club Odyssey back in Chapter 3. They will instead be transferred form the Grand to Sunshine with no other effort on your part.

Platinum (6): Tha game initially spots you Yuki, but the remaining Platinum hostesses are the ex-#1's of the clubs you take down. Take down their clubs to earn them.

Gold (8)
CP Unlocks - Seiko, Akina, Koizumi, Shizuka
Isobe - Complete Majima's disco dancing substories
Etsuko - Complete the Obagenarian substory.
Dolly - Befriend Doll Girl
Unknown - Befriend Simon

Silver (8)
CP Unlocks - Kiyoko, Junko, Shioho, Bonomi
Erranda - Complete Errand boy substory
Akemi - Hangs out SW of Sunshine, near Club Mars. Wants a purse or wristwatch.
Hiroko - Hangs out on the far east of the southern main avenue near the taxi. Wants a coat or scarf
Harumi - Hangs out near the Dream Machine on the northern side of the east bridge. Wants a handbag. (Can be gotten as part of Club Odyssey trade in Chapter 2)

Bronze (8)
Available from start - Endo, Namiko
CP Unlocks - Marilyn, Chizu
Mistuko - Hangs out at the southern end of the indoor shopping center (directly south of the Shogi player). Wants a ring, necklace, or bracelet.

Is the third disco sidequest the last? You guys had me all scared and then I beat Kiryu's on my first try. It was close though.

The key seemed to be just not missing. The AI gets good at doing lots of movement but drops combos pretty frequently, even on easy song difficulty. In the final stats it had like 3x my total moves but a max combo of less than 10 while mine was ~30.

Majima finds the tape from The Ring and just shrugs it off while the other guy probably has mere days to live.

Christ, OutRun is hard when you can't turn the difficulty down like you can in the Genesis port and the 3DS version. Can't do much when you have three trucks (or idiots in VW Beetles) blocking the road in the middle of a turn. :argh:

Still got over 5 million points on my first attempt, so that went kind of okay-ish. Space Harrier keeps kicking my rear end, though.

You know, this whole "DRAGON OF DOJIMA" title is feeling kinda hollow now considering how much of a wretch Dojima is.
Not that the original game (and probably Kiwami) didn't show that. He just keeps getting worse though.

Sohei's a prick but the title's more about saying "this stone-faced dude who picks up phones really dramatically is also the biggest rear end-kicker in the entire Dojima crime family" so I'm cool with it.

It's explained by Odyssey's manager - cabaret clubs are like stripped-down versions of the big cabarets. They charge by the hour and have fewer amenities but still portray themselves as a classy establishment.

Does it really matter if you don't get perfect training? If it just means that they get less experience from that session, then it's not a big deal.

Also, I love how I got a bad result from training a girl to play darts, because she beat me. It's no good unless I win, dammit!

This then evolves to the Host Club, which gives up on the 'classy establishment' thing, and then finally reaches it's apex in the Maid Cafe, which is even dumber and you can't even get drunk at.

Kiryu can use the coliseum and has special dialogue for visiting certain places you frequent as Majima, but that's about it.

I hope this hasn't been asked, but is the sheer number of different types of cutscene, with different levels of animation, VA, and so on, a style choice, a budget choice, or a budget choice in earlier games that turned into a style choice later?

Also, I want playable Pachinko.

Otherwise as a new convert this game has been super fun to play.
