Yakuza 5 finally has playable female character!! Haruka

[vampko]

It's odd having one topic for two games. Make that topic for Black Panther and this one for Yakuza 5 I'd say

We really only need one general Yakuza thread. And seeing how this one is pretty active, we might as well keep using this one.

Well I finally finished it.~

[vampko]

Good job

I still need to finish 3 XD

[Alura--x--Uneii]

XD Well I think I'll give sausage fests a break for a while :p

[Hero]

Well I finally finished it.~

Wow, you're a speed demon

What did you think? Who was your favorite character?

[Hero]

Oh and it's been confirmed that Haruka won't be fighting or be able to go to "adult" areas (such as the hostess clubs and I'm guessing this also means casinos and bars)

Also, the Miss Yakuza winners won't appear as in-game as hostesses this time.

it might just be what I thought it was ~

And, OF COURSE she can't go to those places

This game is looking to be pretty darn amazing ~

[Alura--x--Uneii]

So then how is she playable? can we even walk around as her?

Yes, you'll be able to walk around as her and go to places the other main characters won't be able to enter. It wasn't specified what these places are, but I'd guess they will be the kind of places that teenage girls typically like to hang out at, as well as places related to her goal of becoming an idol.

It hasn't been confirmed or even hinted at, but I'm really hoping that school life plays a big role in Haruka's parts of the game. But even if it doesn't, the idol stuff could potentially be a lot of fun.

Can we buy/ watch anime in this I wonder? xD maybe Haruka is secretly an otaku~ I hope they let us actually buy costumes this time I know in 4 they let you download them with that code..but yeah..since they are adding a girl now and everything.

What happens to Tanimura then? D: Dude was my favorite.

[Hero]

Honestly, I don't know what's going to happen with Tanimura. He was the least popular character from Yakuza 4, which kind of surprised me because he was the youngest, had boy band-ish looks and could speak multiple languages, so I thought he'd be more popular with certain demographics. Plus, it was pretty fun to handcuff people at the end of a fight

But I guess when it comes to good looks and charm, Akiyama had him beat.

[Alura--x--Uneii]

He seemed more like comedy relief to me xD

[Hero]

Nagoshi-san is going to E3. Probably just to attend and to check out the competition. I don't think SEGA is even going to have a booth this year. Though maybe he'll make an appearance at one of the big 3 press conferences... (wishful thinking)

[Alura--x--Uneii]

I suck at the batting thing too x.x

Anyway~ what does that mean about Sega not having a booth or anything? I mean are companies required to be at E3? o.o
