Yeah, I remember reading an import review in PLAY magazine, and the reviewer loved it. I knew that one had no shot at localization. I think that Yakuza Kenzan!(or whatever it's called) and Mother 3 are the only two games that I've ever really wanted to come over here that didn't.LOL ha ha HA in your dreams sir
You don't necessarily have to boycott the release of a game to get a point across. If anything, doing so hurts the brand on the whole, making it less likely that support would continue for that series. As fans of the series, you want to see the game succeed, but you also have a statement you want to get across.
That said, what's important is the message you guys want to make, and that's a message our community teams are here to pass onward and upward for you. All of the comments, the threads, and blog posts are being read, archived, and sent off for others to read.
While we in the community team are not in a position to be able to make the decisions for the game, know that some of us are fairly passionate about Yakuza and our games in general (especially that one Ruby guy), and we'll push hard to at least make sure the fans are heard.

And that’s that! In addition, we’d also like to spotlight another post that went up on our forums earlier this week, with regard to the many responses that continue to pour in from fans about the Hostess clubs and Answer X Answer. (To confirm as well, the Hostesses are in the game, and you can still go on dates, Karaoke, etc, with them.) Please know that while we aren’t able to respond to every comment, our community teams are reading and listening to all the comments, and we are passing those on internally for you guys. You can also add your comment to that discussion here
There is so much to do, in fact, that after completing the main story, all sub-missions, and dabbling here and there with the plethora of mini-games, my save file read a whopping seventy-five hours. Seventy-five hours – and that was with my total completion percentage at forty-five. It may be cliché, but this is one of the few games on the PS3 that really does keep on giving.
