Euro Yakuza 3 sees huge content cuts
via Computer and Video Games
Early purchasers of the western version of Yakuza 3 are discovering that a huge amount of content that was in the Japanese version has been cut.
It was previously known that the Japanese original's hostess bars would be chopped, as Kotaku reports, but it seems reams of other content, including several sub-quests and mini games, are missing from the western version.
It's reported that the cuts were due restricted development time, despite the game arriving here over a year after the Japanese release with no English-language voicing (subtitles only).
Posters on the game's official forums have put together a list of stuff they've notice missing:
Chapter 3, 4
- I Wanna Go to Tokyo pt. 1
- The Brewer's Treasure
- Make the No. 1 Cabaret Club Girl!
- English Conversation Solicitor step 1
- English Conversation Solicitor step 2
- Love's Cupid

- A Trip Before Marriage
