Great demo, loved everything about it, loved the new fighting system, it was familiar enough while staying fresh, perfect combo. (did anyone scrape a guys face on the floor? Damn! 
)
Even the hostess section looked much improved, looks like the conversations will be more fun to interact with, the girl was kind of annoying thou haha.
And the cutscenes got me intrigued even thou I didn't understand them.
The only thing I hated about the game was that I was getting really into it, I almost forgot it was a Demo...then it finished.
And the other thing I hate is we will have to wait a few months before a release announcement.
I'm happy.

Btw on the map screen, did it look like there was another section of the city we could go to? But there was an invisible wall there (because it's a demo or it's for another part of the full game or whatever)
I don't have the demo on so can't take a screenshot but at least one bit of the map looked like we can go further past the wall in the full game. (no block symbol or anything, just an invisible wall)

Haha, I was like "Oh snap!".
It all feels like a significant upgrade from Y3 and Y4, which is excellent. Really appreciated the new (Lack of) battle transitions.
Enjoy the demo!

Uhg, I lost my JP account when my last PS3 broke and I don't care for making another one.
My brother who never plays Yakuza games, was like "That's too mean!" lol

I swear the UFO catcher where you need to shove that stick in the hole is rigged.
EDIT: I DID IT AFTER 20 MINUTES AND ABOUT 5000 YEN WOOOOOOOO

This demo is so good that I might buy the game, and worst-case-scenario, just stop playing when I get to the Haruka section.
Or maybe I'll rent it. That might be smarter...
Either way, the Kazuma bits seem excellent.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true: You will LOVE THE DANCE BATTLES, YOU WILL WANT TO PLAY IT EVERY TIME YOU PLAY YAKUZA 5!
Also I'm calling it on Amon Dance Battle people

Bwoah shit.
Noooooo I won't. It is a genuine concern that the game will just stop for me at that point.
Of course, it all comes to nothing if the game doesn't get localised.

Ugh... Are you seriously implying the title is derogatory? It's referring to a freaking online store.

OK could someone with knoweldge of this master race language be able to translate what the heck the characters been talking about?
Also lol @ the water looking so metallic, well I'll let it pass as it's a demo, but man the combat feels good...AND OH MY GOD KIRYU'S RUNNING DROP KICK!

Just hope that the Haruka section isn't the first thing you see when you start the game haha.
I want to know what those two guys were saying about Haruka that made Kiryu mad haha.
And yeah the water looked like Oil.
Do NOT try that in real life, waste of money in my experience.
Why would you do that?

Oh boy, downloading now.
I hope I will be able to navigate the demo without knowing too much Japanese...

They said so, but I'd be inclined to say that it's just a heavily modified version of the old engine. It's significantly different, either way. Lots of improvements.
It's just a single texture :|
Seeing how all of the other Yakuza games (except the PSP ones) are released in the US/EU territory, I expect Yakuza 5 to be the same. Earliest would be probably late next year though....
Er... No.
The last three games have been released the following March. There's no reason Y5 wouldn't follow the same trend.

The following March is only three months away when Yak 5 comes out.
The last three games have also been released a lot earlier in Japan (February for 3, March for 4 and June for Dead Souls). I really doubt this will be out this early outside Japan.

40/40? Wow, but then again, Famitsu scores don't mean much nowadays.

Great. Way to ruin my day.
Hmm, that's true.
Late next year seems like a stretch though. I think part of the reason they get released over here in March is because it's pretty much dead. A Sega translation (For an in-house game, no less) won't nearly as long as a localisation from someone like XSEED, keep in mind.

Isn't Kenzan fantranslated already?
Kenzan got released in 2008...
and horrible Yakuza 4 had an awful pedophile touching Haruka,and forced us to play with/as him..so that even worse..
Not really. There are translations of the cutscenes, but no way to integrate them into the game.

Do it, demo is so awesome.
The Patrick will most likely have a guide not long after the Japanese release.

i'm worried about you dude, now its just disturbing.
face buttons (right hand hit) & dpad (left hand hit) for red, shoulder buttons for blue, mashing buttons for yellow.
Let clear this..Dragonzord were saying the child prostitution plot might not allow Kenzan to get to the west, I was just saying that SEGA left a long cutscene of a man touching a kid in Yakuza 4(which is in your face,not just hinted like in Kenzan).
so the child prostitution plot in Kenzan is not really an excuse to not get Yakuza Kenzan to the west ( they can cut or change that part of the story and no one will notice)in many JRPG localizations they change that sort of things.
