It's every young lady's dream: to leave a life of looking somewhat plain and become a glamorous hostess, all cleavage-y evening dresses and bleach-blond hair, charming lonely salarymen into buying obscenely overpriced drinks. Who wouldn't want a taste of that life?!
Well, now you too can see what it's like, because Yakuza 4's western release is confirmed to have the hostess training minigame included in the final product.
But wait, didn't Sega say that it was essentially impossible for us to understand hostess bars? That's the reason they gave for cutting them out of Yakuza 3, after all. Is Sega confident that we filthy foreigners will have evolved the capacity to comprehend that content by spring 2011?
Or perhaps it's because the bars aren't being cut this time because they're key to one of the lead character's story arcs, making a clean excision impossible? Hmmm.
Either way, we seem to be getting to a more complete product this time! Yay! Now check below for a video of a veteran hostess training a pair of real-life girls as they audition to become in-game hostesses. Really.
Still hoping we get to punch sharks in the face though.
