Dumbass Sega. So you took it out because you wanted it to release it on one of the most packed months?
Also it wouldn't resonate with the western audiences? Most of the people who are looking forward to Y3 already played Y1 & Y2, and both of them had the hostess clubs. Also, I'm pretty sure Yakuza fans are fascinated with the Japanese culture presented in Yakuza - well at least I am. I can understand taking out the quiz.
The hostess clubs were one of the best and funniest things in Yakuza. I spent a lot of time there, and I'm guessing the side missions tied with the hostess are cut. This also makes a lot of things useless now like shopping for bags and getting teddy bears.
I can already see Sega telling us "I told you so" when it sells poor, even though it's their fault for releasing it on one of the worst months possible and pissing off a lot of their fans.
Fuck you Sega!
