I won't always, especially when I know for sure its a dialogue choice that will repeat, but for the most part, yeah I try to stick to the "correct" answers most of the time.

I hope you show the wrong options for the dominatrix sidequest!

I can already say I played that sidequest straight, but I keep rolling saves, so going back to that one and doing the wrong options should be trivial, so when I find some time, I can see about recording those.

Anyone who doesn’t is a fool!

That said, I’m not taking requests because I already have so much of this game recorded that going back through save files to go substory hunting just isn’t going to be feasible.

This dropped today! This seems like a strange pivot for the series, but I'm 100% unsurprised because, and I quote:

ChaosArgate, in the OP posted:

The Yakuza series is a series of action games/JRPGs developed and published by SEGA

This studio's done a lot of good in their niche over the years, as I've learned in the past two, so I'm excited to see them branch out into other genres!

Just started watching this one, and some trivia for you: The pager code at the start isn't as arbitrary or secret as you surmise. It's goroawase, a way to represent Japanese syllables as numbers, basically a kind of primitive SMS speak. 7-2-4-10-6 translates straight up to na-ni-shi-te-ru ("What are you doing?"), based on how those numbers are pronounced. It was pretty common back then.

It shows up in all sorts of contexts, too. Maybe you've noticed Konami seems to have an obsession with the number 573? 5-7-3 = ko/go-na-mi. You know that guy Suda Gouichi, a.k.a. Suda51? 5-1 = go-ichi. The number 420 has a somewhat different connotation because 4-2-0 -> shi-tsu-rei, meaning "excuse me" (not literally, but it's the best way to translate it).

Also, have you ever heard of the card game Oicho-Kabu? You can play it in this series. Maybe you already have. The worst possible hand you can get in that game is an eight, a nine and a three. 8-9-3 = ya-ku-sa/za. That's literally the origin of the word "yakuza".

If you ever see a weird number in a piece of Japanese media, odds are it's some goroawase or another.

The way to actually deal with Tatsu's gun training dummies (Which no one does because you can power through it) is to use a crate as a guard. Since you can move while guarding with a crate, and the bullets will damage them. You grab a big one, get close and just wail.

Crap.
Yeah, using the Guarded Charge we just got really helps get you through the more annoying sections where a marksman dummy is constantly taking potshots at you.

On the subject of Miss Tatsu's training though, I never had much of a use for the Tatsu Brand waters or the Tauriner line of medicines for that matter. Heat is pretty easy to build in this game, especially once you invest into skill trees. You're better off just filling up with Staminan and Toughness if you ask me.

Trivia- the Tachibana were one of the richest and most influential families of the Japanese Sengoku historical period. Based out of Kyushu in the West, they served the Toyotomi Clan and fielded a lot of warriors. Famous members included Dosetsu, the head of the clan; his daughter Ginchiyo, a rare female warlord samurai; and her husband Muneshige, who was considered among the top level samurai in the west part of Japan at the time.

The Oda family was also a big deal in the Sengoku period. The warlord Nobunaga Oda started the period off by conquering much of Japan with ruthless tactics some believe were inspired by pacts with demons. He was one of the most feared men in Japanese history. That was until he was assassinated by one of his vassals. Another one, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, killed the traitor and then finished the job of conquering Japan. After his death, the remaining vassals squabbled over succession, and eventually Tokugawa came out on top and then ruled nearly 200 years.

Tojo is also a famous name in Japanese history, mainly for Hideki Tojo, the military dictator of Japan during World War 2.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Oh yes, Ginchiyo and Muneshige Tachibana, of Raikiri fame. Yes, those are very well-known and in fact near-mythological in modern Japanese folklore. Kind of how Charlemagne gets all kinds of stories told about his paladins. The pair is featured prominently in Nioh, the period Soulslike.

Do you know from where its repeated? I'm looking at my timeline and it looks like one straight clip from 9:43 to 17:17.

From about 14:10 halfway through Kiryu's "I was expelled, though. Got nothing to do with them now." to 14:43 with Oda putting the phone up to his ear.

Ok the fixed version should be up now, hopefully this won't happen again. It's super weird, I checked my timeline and its just one unbroken clip from well before and well after the affected area, and neither Jobbo or I noticed anything with the commentary version of the video, so something got weird in the encode.
