U.S. PS3 port?

[willyml4]

So my question is, is the PC version of Yakuza 3 based on the censored U.S. Playstation 3 game? Have missions and minigames (hostess club) been restored, or are they still missing? What about Shogi?

This is a port of Yakuza 3 Remastered on PS4, which is a localised version of Ryû ga Gotoku 3 PS4, with the addition of Japanese, Chinese & Korean subtitle tracks / UI . The only content lost in localisation was some licensed music tracks including the original opening theme.

Various changes & some minor omissions were made between the Japanese PS3 and PS4 versions (see other threads on this forum): the practical upshot of all which, is that one minigame and one associated sub-story that were missing in the lamentably incomplete ("censored" is hyperbolic as the content cuts were the result of a rushed and under-budget localisation) Yakuza 3 PS3 are still missing, because they aren't in the Japanese PS4 version either, and this, to be brutal about it, is something that would have been impractical to localise in any satisfactory way.

***Have missions and minigames (hostess club) been restored***
Yes. All restored apart from ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Michiru ones.
Hostess clubs are restored too.

***What about Shogi?***
Yes. As well as Mahjong and Aroma massage.

Yeah, nearly everything missing (save for a quiz game) has been localized at the cost of the Michiru substories.

Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to know!
