Good that they cut this out, when I first played Yakuza 3 it was the first one in the series that I played. I loved the shit out of the game enough to get the Platinum but man those missions left a sour taste in my mouth, I'm glad the team are cutting this out. Hopefully they can replace it with more of the content they are best at in the series (Not to reinvent Yakuza 3 obviously, but maybe just some more funny dialogue missions).

Also, it didn't really fit Kiryu to be referring to someone as an 'other', he's a flawed person but he's not that much of an asshole to the average person.
they will re-implement all the OTHER cut content we didn't get in the original western release that are much less offensive so it's a win win situation all around

Can't wait to see the complaints about censorship on twitter and youtube (let's see if anyone here is brave enough to expose themselves)

It's cool that the actual team in Japan realized this and were open to change or remove it.

it's amazing to see this serie evolve in terms of idea and views throughout the years

Kiwami 1 was also pretty good with that! One lesbian hostess that says she wants to marry but had to go oversee to do that, and where kiryu said japan was pretty late about these issues

It's not a line or two though, she's a recurring character and the way the game frames trans folk is fucke--

Yeah, nevermind. I won't bother taking this seriously if you're going to be posting on a burner.

A burner ? Has it ever occured to your mind that someone may have joined not long ago ?

Btw I'd like to get more infos about that character and what is offensive about him, as I haven't played the game and only watched the submission that was posted on this thread.

God, a series about actual criminals in Japan is more progressive than a bunch of series about people we're supposed to root for in Japan.

It'd be surprising if Yakuza as a series wasn't already as great as it is

As already said, honestly Yakuza us more about doing the right thing than being a Yakuza, which is one of the reasons kiryu isn't ever really an active Yakuza member when you control him (at least not in zero through Kiwami 2).

Oh damn that's brilliant! I remember at the time people complaining about some of the lost content that never got translated like the hostess clubs (You meet the women in random spots if I recall, Smile Burger was one such place).

And nothing of value was lost I guess?

Can't wait to play 3-4-5 on PS4. Loved 0-2. Hoping they come to the west soon and I'm happy to hear they removed any transphobic content

Kiryu is progressive as fuck in Kiwami with that one dating sidequest so this isn't any surprise Nagoshi feels the same way. In fact most of the time despite looking silly the "okama" in Yakuza games aren't always played for laughs like that sidequest in Yakuza 3.

For fuck's sake all I've been saying was that the changes would not be important enough to make a thread about it since all I've seen about the character was a subquests that shows almost no offensive dialogues and y'all are already flaming me. If you really want to prove me wrong just show me what else was wrong with the original Yakuza 3 game since it's the main topic ????

Yakuza is the fucking coolest game series ever. So glad I'm finally getting into it. Not only do they seem like passion projects, the people working on them seem really rad.

I mean, it's not on you to say what deserves a thread or not in the first place.

What the hell is wrong with YOU? They remove something offensive in the game, why is your reaction to it something else than "good" or just passing up the thread completely if you don't care like you say. Why do you feel the need to threadwhine about it? Plenty of people here care how minority people are represented in media, so it's a thread. It's simple as that.

Yeah, this has been known for a while since it's been out in Japan for months. Hopefully they announce the localization soon.

They mentioned on announcement or close to it that certain quests needed to be changed, besides actor stuff, they clearly mentioned that one side-quest in Y3 that needed to change in a japan only interview. So i don't wanna hear that japan can't be aware of that stuff. The yakuza team generaly seems more in touch with the english localization team, certainly more outspoken than the usually secretive Atlus team in japan.

shut the fuck up, you don't get to tell anyone what is thread worthy or not.

No one needs to "prove you wrong", using your new account to complain in a thread about a topic like this one also rises a lot of red flags, if you really aren't just using a burner account then get the hell out of this thread and actually try next time, bye.

Love Yakuza 3. It's my 3rd favorite Yakuza game after Y0 and Kiwami 2. Hopefully Sega also adds some of the missing localization content in addition to taking out the bad stuff.

five posts into an account and you're already complaining about a thread topic covering trans issues.

Grow the fuck up, child.

You really don't see anything wrong with calling a trans person "it?"

Huh ? I'm just asking about concrete details of what went wrong with that character's representation like you know, screenshots, videos, quotes, stuff like that. Not everyoen has played the game and I certainly haven't.

Good on em. Love this series so damn much and really happy to see Yakuza team doing stuff like this.

Looking forward to playing Yakuza 3 when it comes out here.
