Absolutely. I agree with all of you. I am the biggest fan of the Yakuza series and I hope so bad that Sega brings this game out in other regions.

Yakuza 3 truly looks better than any of the other games in the series and personally the setting and gameplay in Yakuza is much more interesting to me than GTA4.

Sega, please bring this out in other regions!

Looks like a fun game, though the fight scenes look kinda dry. I want it for its variety minigames. Make your own hooker and be a pimp, why not!

How about Yakuza / Kienzan? Will it ever release outside Japan? I love the feudal Japan :[

Why do people want this game exported to NA/EU? From my experience with the original and from what I have read of this iteration, Yakuza 3 is not a game that's going to dazzle the non-Japanese market.

Because some people are more Japan-friendly than others.

Perhaps the people talking about getting the game over here are, oh, I dunno... the target audience SEGA would go for in America?

I'm a fan of Yakuza themed movies and Yakuza 3 could definitely be a game I'd get.

5.3 - Dazzled me!
The series has given me countless hours of enjoyment. I just finished Kenzan about 2 weeks ago and Ryu ga Gotoku 3 just arrived in parcel with Demon's Souls...I have to say, my early impressions are that it's a stellar addition to my library.

It may not be you thing, perhaps that's what you're missing bones, but it's a fantastic adventure that has proven itself overseas. Just because it is heavily steeped in Japanese culture doesn't mean it wouldn't do well over here. Unless of course you consider we're all a bunch of close-minded gringos!

I've tried the demo, and even though I didn't understand a single word or what exactly is going on, I enjoyed it a lot.
