Fun fact I was dead certain I didn’t want this LP thread to start until I had the whole cabaret minigame recorded, so I did that within months of the game’s PC launch, before Judgment was released and probably before I started recording for 0.

I wish we could recruit Nugget again. They'd be perfect for a cabaret bar. If we can, please don't tell me and let it be a surprise.

I can't unsee Buono's lovely glowing flower crown Kiryu probably doesn't read the crumpled, bloodstained letters that Majima stuffs in his mailbox, but he might have heard a little bit about Yuki from Gorogorogoro-chan's radio postcards back in the day

  We've got Karaoke in this video, so you can watch the Cut versions for SFX-free music!

I assume the phrase you were unfamiliar with was "to have one by the short and curlies"? It's relatively common.

In fact the Kien Dagger is the Demonfire Blade - it's true that if you asked someone what 'kien' meant in Japanese they'd probably say the same thing you came up with but in Japanese Yakuza 2 the item is written as 鬼炎, demon+blaze, and apparently pronouncing that kien is sufficiently obvious that the Japanese person whose let's play video I was watching only hesitated a little over it. None of this explains why they didn't just translate it as Demonfire Blade the first time, though.

I've seen a handful of examples of the original localization team not going the full mile and fully localizing the text, I guess? This just seems like another example of that. Either that, or they left it as-is because they interpreted "Kien" as a proper noun?

Komaki was by far the hardest fight in my playthrough, such that I put it off for several chapters since I kept getting my rear end kicked. I probably could have done it sooner if I'd just been less aggressive, but no items and no heat make you about as weak as you'll ever be.

I have a huge complaint about the Oil Barons- they all look the same. Sure it's easy to believe the game Oil Baron is some young ex-soldier from Africa with more money than sense, or maybe a rapper of some kind, but it's hard to believe we're fleecing the same guy again and again. Give him a random appearance- the game standard one time, a Russian mobster the next, then an Arab sheik, or maybe even JR Ewing from Dallas. Of course they could also be from China, Japan, or even oil-rich Indonesia. It would be way more believable and fun to see diverse Oil Barons.

Sorry, sometimes my background (East Texan WASP) gets me spouting bad stereotypes. Yeah, it would be cool to see other black people in the Oil Baron position too. I'm not going to think up more examples for obvious reasons. The rapper was a joke my girlfriend at the time I first played the game thought up when she saw the Oil Baron. She asked "Who's that black guy who keeps visiting your club and spending so much?" I explained the Oil Baron game mechanic and she said, "I bet he's a rapper. 'The Oil Baron' would be a great name for one of those and they like to spend money on places like your club." I said she might be right. I then thought up a more elaborate creative background (my opinion) for the character- he was from some African oil rich country and spending money in the wrong place. Or the right place, given it was helping Kiryu. For the record, I agree that black people- and people of any other skin color or other discriminatory factor- are allowed to do anything within their ability and desire. Including run oil empires. Or call themselves 'The Oil Baron' if that's what they want to do, even if in fact they do something else. If you assume otherwise about me, I am not the only one whose ignorance should concern you. Personally, given the amount of money the Oil Baron throws around in the game, I wonder about his ability to maintain his oil empire given all his side activities. Maybe he has a very good accountant working for him who handles that. achtungnight fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Mar 4, 2021 |

Majima Construction is a place I'd genuinely enjoy applying to work for, if only for the sheer insanity. Not sure how long I'd last, but drat if it wouldn't be worth telling stories about.

I was very impressed by all of the translation / subtitling done for the various grunts that constitute a large part of this game's script.

When did Majima get mind bullets? Because that's clearly the only explanation.

That last sidequest chain is pretty nice. Lots of mutual respect going on, instead of the usual faceless thugs deciding to pick a fight with Kiryu because he happened to be in the general area.

But what better reason is there to pick a fight with Kiryu? At least that's what Majima told me once.

Yeah, but at least Majima picks a fight with Kiryu. The faceless mooks pick a fight with 'some dude' and then piss themselves when they learn he's Kiryu after getting their asses beat. There's an important distinction.

This game inspired me to learn about the long history of war and other social conflict between Japan and Korea. While I hope there aren’t any real people hiding secret grudges as long as the Jingweon, I wouldn’t be surprised either.
