Yakuza 5

Yakuza 5
Also known as: Ryū ga Gotoku 5: Yume, Kanaeshi Mono (JP) Developers: Ryu ga Gotoku Studios, Sega CS1 Publisher: Sega Platforms: PlayStation 3 Released internationally: December 5, 2012 This game has unused models.

The fifth entry of the Yakuza series was the first to feature a playable female character -- but not one that fights. Shame!

Unused Models

Yakuza splits models up into higher quality models with more advanced rigging for cutscenes, with lower quality for gameplay. These models are found in the latter category.

Yasuko Saejima

Taiga Saejima's sister from Yakuza 4. She appears as what seems like a placeholder model for Kiryu's partner, Mayumi Madarame. Mayumi does not appear in the game world outside of her cabaret dress, making this model unused in normal gameplay.

Hana

Akiyama's secretary from Yakuza 4. Not only does the model appear as she does before the end of Yakuza 4, she seems to be missing a lot more files, including her face texture and animation files. Assumedly, she was probably dropped earlier in development.
