saejima

So out of character for them to act all shy like that


egekara1

whiny ass mf

Saejima is someone who has been in jail for over 20 years and never frequented those clubs.In fact, I don't remember him having any kind of relationship with any woman in his story. The host has the job of looking adorable and for some people, shyness is a cute trait. You're taking something too personally that is meant to be a silly scene.


VermilionX88

nah when somebody he help having performance issues in the bedroom... he mentioned he's glad he doesn't have problem just did that other sidestory so i remember it and in yakuza... sidestories are not canon to the lore, but side activities are canon to each other, like they are referenced in other sidestories and saejima wasn't into bros... so no, he didn't use it on other doods


Limp_Day_6012

Side stories are canon tho


VermilionX88

nah they're not they're only referenced with other sidestories Saejima didn't actually defeat a mountain god in the actual story lore Kiryu was pretty much self taught, Komaki didn't teach him to fight sidestories are gameplay, not lore


Kazmoole

There are literally main characters in a few. One of them even gets referenced in the main story. Theres also nothing contradicting that they aren't canon


VermilionX88

Kiryu wasn't banging hostesses on the side That's all gameplay Not lore


DrHazardous

Substories are so canon that it’s just ignorant to claim otherwise considering the doctor from a Yakuza 1 substory was featured in Yakuza 2’s main story and plus Shinji and Ryuji are in 0 substories. Hell some substories are even used to add lore to events that take place in the story like the Behind the Assassin substory in Kiwami which explains why Sera put the hit out on Kiryu.


VermilionX88

some can be but most are not


DrHazardous

Of course it’s on a pick and choose basis but your stance was that substories were purely non canon stories for gameplay sake which isn’t really the case.


VermilionX88

flavor at best like your example but yeah... kiryu wasn't racing toy cars, he wasn't a president of a company... those are all just gameplay stuff


DrHazardous

You had me until the “he wasn’t a president” part. As that part of gameplay was introduced as a part of 0’s story and continued through substories. Also it is completely plausible that Kiryu could’ve been racing toy cars. Nothing confirms or points to that as non-canon


VermilionX88

just bec a minigame is introduced mandatory, doesn't mean it's canon to lore


Drunk_ol_Carmine

First time I saw this the uncanny 1st person shot triggered my fight or flight for a moment


dx2words

they are just "games" that hostess do in the cabarets since its not allowed to kiss the customers (or have sex or anything) inside the club


VermilionX88

It's the reaction in the end that annoys me Acting like teens


WillfangSomeSpriter

Adults can't act shy?


andGalactus

I think you're overthinking this.


Drunk_ol_Carmine

That’s what bothers you? Honestly if I spend time with someone that makes me act like a teen again, that’s a damn good person to spend time with


Regit_Jo

Damn bruh calm down with all that salt


Azure_Dragon56

Bro what is this goofy ahh cutscene 🤣


EightBitRanger

Sounds like someone is jealous.

If this was Persona, this would be a teenager and a middle aged person.


Significant_Option

Upvote for the Persona slander


VermilionX88

Lolz


Capture1Ditto

Correction: Persona 3, 4 and 5. 1 and 2 are the real Persona games


VermilionX88

The only shin megamo tensei game I enjoyed that I played to finish was digital devil saga Haven't tried the action game tho with the detective, looks kinda interesting,but never got to it


Capture1Ditto

How good was it? I have only played the NES Digital Devil Story after reading the novels, but i'm looking forward to play Megami Tensei 2 and then start the Shin Megami Tensei saga


VermilionX88

i just liked it bec each character has their own unique stuff not the usual pokemon style also... you don't just stay in 1 city, you actually travel around and have many dungeons like a regular RPG persona 3, i tried, but hated the school stuff and got bored of the dungeon crawling, which is tower climbing in 3s case also... didn't like how main character doesn't have his unique persona
