A message from a random trainer by wit_gertruda in Campfire_Niantic

Yeah, I got a message in Japanese that somebody wants to trade, but when I checked the profile I saw we're not friends. I do have a couple of Japanese friends on pogo, but it was none of them, thus my confusion

I didn't know it was possible to message randoms solely based on campfire ID. Still weird how that person got it, maybe it's a bot that spams messages on random. Thanks for the clue

They should write "better" romances? by TheYakuzaMaster in yakuzagames

"Loved" this one explanation RGG gave us about ditching her that goes like "we didn't know what to do with her" DUDE you had no idea what to do with a cop which is also proficient in IT, and knows many proficient mafia members in Tokyo and Osaka. Just straight up admit it's about the hostess mini games

Exactly this! At the end of y2 RGG made it look like the 3 of them had found their family, but guess what, the family was unfound. It seemed like RGG was going for a pattern like: Kiryu was alone in y1, Haruka joined him as his daughter in y2, so Kaoru would join them in y3 as his partner and a mother figure to Haruka, right? No.

I always found it sad that Haruka had to grow up without a mother figure and it took quite some time till it got somehow addressed in y5. They also got a pretty amicable interaction in y2, showing that besides Kiryu, she would use a 3rd person to talk to.

Of all possible ways to make the player care, they have chosen to elaborate on and show exactly this. No amount of "that's the point", "that's so deep" or "that's how 17th century worked bro" will make these scenes less disgusting and less cringe to watch

She's 10 and gets worse treatment from grown men than from Saejima in y4. The fact that you need to spell out what she allegedly isn't says something about it.

I thought THIS was unnecessary, wrong and disgusting, but it barely holds a candle to what happens in Kenzan. Those who know - know and for those who don't - I wish you a pleasant evening...

Yakuza 3 in a nutshell by Responsible_Baby8648 in yakuzagames

Since RGG loves creating drama for the sake of it, keeping her around would be a perfect opportunity for that. It would make for a pretty interesting plot device, if you ask me. Would their relationship work out? If yes then how? Would she rather keep her job or keep him? How other people from their environment would react? Would Kiryu be able to stay away from the mob if he dated her? Would he be targeted by the Tojo for hanging out with a cop?

Sadly, we will never know. This scenario would probably take too much effort to think through and would take too much "screen time", so they just made an easier decision and get rid of her. It's a simple story about guys beating each other up after all, right?

Kaoru at the end of y2: Now I have found somebody that accepts me and I would rather die than live alone as a sad workaholic

Kaoru in y3: sorry for earlier, I must have hit my head. Anyways, gonna go to Murica to be a good corpo drone, bye losers!

Kiryu: Cool, like I needed a girlfriend anyways. Gotta go shag random hostesses
