It'll be just like the Christmas I got my PS3 where I ignored everyone around me while I powered through Yakuza 3.

I had two weeks off last Christmas, and spent half of it playing Yakuza 4. I'm kind of worried that it will happen again lol.

I really like Shinada. He's a fun personality.

He is a lot better than the boring cop from 4.

He's still a literal prostitute critic in the English version right? They didn't obfuscate that somehow because of reasons?

Edit: especially that last conversation he has at the end of the game for him?

I'm assuming its completely uncensored because Milky promises him bareback sex.

The dudes share cash, right? because IF-8 at 10k per run isn't too bad when saejima has 3 million to blow

Playing Baccarat in Purgatory gives you way more cash than you will ever need if you exploit the save point nearby.

I'd suggest waiting to do the hostess club stuff until you can get to the casino because they are a huge money sink. (Except for Saejima and Kiryuu because their job missions give them a shitload of cash)

Haruka's face looks like 3 years too young for her

Haruka's eyes are also too big.

I beat the game yesterday, and I was impressed by some of the symbolism in the last battle.

Aizama wants to be a legendary powerhouse like Kiryu, and being Yakuza, they both have their favorite Pokemon tattooed on their backs. It's fitting that Aizama would have Magikarp, while Kiryu has Gyrados.

You might not be aware of this but the whole Magikarp/Gyrados thing is based on an actual japanese myth about a Koi turning into a dragon as an award from the gods for its perseverance.

I might be :thejoke: though.

Playing Zero again, Kiryu is the same person as ever, but Majima is such a completely different person it's nuts. You are told that this isn't the real him, just a role he has to play until he fulfills his debt to the yakuza, but it's far beyond that. The game goes out of its way to demonstrate that he's an expert businessman, an expert manager, and an expert at the hostess business, and always the cool head in the room. Where did all this knowledge come from? Where did it all go later, when he became a career crazy person with no particular interest in money or power?

edit: I guess come to think of it, he probably met Mirei through the entertainment biz (maybe they said explicitly in 5 but I forget), but that doesn't happen in Zero.

He meets MIrei when Kiryu is in prison. That is why Kiryu doesn't know about that person.
