They can also whip off their suits at a moment's notice.

Unused Character Models

To do: Upload images of these models.

Character models stored in /data/chara/w64/adv are used in the 'Adventure' portion of the game. By copying the contents of other folders, it is possible to load other models in the place of existing ones, provided they use the same skeleton type (i.e. Male, Female).

• c_cm_dummy

A bald-headed male wearing a suit.

• c_cm_far_man

A low-polygon human-like figure, presumably intended for NPCs a great distance away from the player.

• c_aw_C01_caster

The newscaster who announces the murder of the salaryman at the very start of the game. This is a pre-recorded video, and as such, this model goes unseen in normal gameplay.

• c_aw_catfight_test

A nude test model for the Catfight mini game, that appears to use an earlier face model for Makoto Makimura.

• c_cw_far_woman

Same as c_cm_far_man, but using the female armature.

• c_cw_CIdummyA

Seemingly a test cabaret club model. It's worth noting this reuses Anna Konno's face textures from Ryu ga Gotoku: Ishin.

Unused Textures

Cabaret Club UI

To do: Upload images - 2d_mt_kyaba_face_30 (Hinata), 2d_jt_face_test (PS2 Kiryu)

Two placeholders can be found with the rest of the portraits of the hostesses - one of Kiryu on the cover of the original PS2 release, and another of Hinata Osaki from Yakuza 5.

Regional Differences

Removed Songs

The English releases are missing two licensed songs, "Bubble" and "Kurenai" by Japanese band Shōnan no Kaze, regardless of the language the game is played in or system locale. These tracks were replaced by original, instrumental tracks.

Lao Gui

Official render of Lao Gui as he appears in the Chinese version.

In the Chinese version, Lao Gui's model and voice were completely changed, giving him the face and voice of Hong Kong-based actor Sam Lee.
