Still Sega promises the changes will not influence the relationship part nor the story of the game.“The parts we ended up taking out were parts that we felt wouldn’t make sense (like a Japanese history quiz game) or wouldn’t resonate as much (such as the concept of a Hostess Club).”
Yakuza 3 will arrive on PS3 March 12th.
