Sega has betrayed me (Yakuza style) *cries*

Why does anyone care? It's just pixelated soft porn?

It's not just about getting punani. There are side missions tied to the hostesses, and I'm guessing they'll be cut as well so we're losing more than just a mini-game. Also at one point, you can run the hostess bar and change the layout and whatnot. Y3 lets you choose the hostesses' outfit. The hostesses also give you special weapons, items, and exp.

Also shops designed for hostesses are going to be useless now. It's going to make managing your money a whole lot easier and make the game easier as well.

I spend a lot of time in the hostess clubs in Yakuza 2 since it was surprisingly fun. I am upset they cut this out, but I'm still getting the game in hopes that they bring Yakuza 4 stateside. Lots of people in numerous forums are already cancelling their pre-orders, so someone has to support the game. I don't see why they cut it out (other than maybe budget issues) because the last two games had them, and their excuses suck. Sega fails on understanding their fanbase.

Not necessarily.

It seems that not everything with the hostesses is cut out.

Even though the hostess clubs are out, you can still go on dates with the girls. Better news? The strip clubs are still in Yakuza 3, so plan on dropping some Yen there.
