Also we're between recordings right now, so if we haven't shown something you want to see then now's your time to let us know!

It's not something I want to see per se, but in ep. 46, around the 20 minute mark, I noticed a sparkle on the edge of Taihei Blvd. East. It's literally near the barricades that mark the eastern edge of the map. Happy hunting.

I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!
Oh rad. Thanks! I'll grab that first thing when we record on Thursday.

There also appears to be a key in that small park-ish area in the north west corner.

Even if the host-ff won't be as visually spectacular as, say, the model-off in Zoolander I can't wait to see where this goes.

Final Fantasy X-2 never said Tidus name either, through out the entire game they just refer to him as that person or use similarly vague phrases to refer to him. Although they did refer to his name is Kingdom Hearts, pronouncing it tee-dus., though in in Kingdom Hearts 2 he's called to as tie-dus.

Also funny you should bring up card games, in a recent Famitsu issue they said that the hostess stuff in Yakuza 6 has been reworked to be some sort of card based mini-game.

I must've been thinking about Kingdom Hearts then. Makes sense.

As for card hostesses, I'm not sure how to feel about it.

I wanted to give y'all in here a heads up that we're thinking about going a stream where we sit and get through as much of the hostess stuff as we can manage. There seems to be a sidequest behind doing them, but I don't think they can hold their own videos like the host club stuff could, so I think a giant stream video thing would be the most painless way to do it.

No details quite yet, but I just wanted to get the idea floating around here.

Happy end of the week! This is going to be the last one for a little while as I'm going to be out of town for a week, we didn't get a chance to have another recording session before that happened. Hopefully it'll only be 1-2 weeks at most before the next ep though!

Saya was very happy with the length of this. (Yes, I occasionally talk in the third person, judge me all you want, I don't care,) but I have a request too. Could you maybe try to keep dialogue on the screen longer? I pause all the time to read it but I would prefer not to have to do that.

There's definitely a time of day mechanic that effects when you can start certain side stories.

Also, about the friend heat actions, I think they may have been absent from Yakuza 3, but I know 4 and 5 had them.

I will keep this in mind in the future! I read really fast and often forget that not everybody also does.

Hmm. Army of evil gangsters (as opposed to all those good gangsters) coming to take over your neighbourhood (that is also about to be destroyed??), 30 hidden bombs to find and disarm, close ally's world has just collapsed, and the untested potential leader about to enter the worst trial by fire?





Sounds like a great time to go check on your hostess club.

It's also the last one of the recording session, so while I hope to record more this week and get another one outon time, no promises.

I had to try very hard to overcome the Yakuza 2 curse and I think I've done it.

Also I will try to remember those Euro geography facts.

Welcome back! It's a good thing that the LP was on hiatus for a while. As a fan of the LP, I suffered from Yakuza 2 curse too.

The last few episodes before the hiatus, I watched pretty much everything on 150% or 200% playback speed. This wasn't due to you or AP. The game just started to feel like it was drawing things out and it became a slog. The episode where you guys made no progress. Those drat random battles with an unskippable intro! drat it game, be more clear about what to do and let me beat up goons without having to watch Kazuma's popped collar for the umpteenth time! :argh:

After that, I just didn't have the spirit anymore to keep watching.

Just finished bingewatching from episode 50 onwards right now and it feels pretty fresh again. Good to know we're nearing the end of the game! Personal highlight: seeing some dude named Kurosawa get HEAT moved to "not-death" with a samurai helmet. Twice! In the same episode.

I was more illustrating that Norway is deceptively really long, due to their expanse of mountains going North. Most people think Norway is just the populated bits in the South, but nope, that nation is a snake, going up and curling around.

Okay, I have to mention this. Video before last, by the exit to the champion district there was a woman with a marker you didn't talk to and in the latest vid there was another one you ran right by. I know it's way too late now and that watching a video gives you way more chances to notice things than when you're actually playing but drat was it frustrating to watch you go by them.

The girl at the champion district is one I missed myself, but are you talking about the girl on Pink Street North, just south of Beam? (Ep.57 around the 3:15 mark)
