In the West, Yakuza 3 had cut content like Hostess clubs; but in Yakuza 4 they will return. AAUK from the SEGA Europe blog has confirmed it.
“I don’t know all the ins and outs of the game at this stage I can at least confirm to you that the much loved Hostesses will return in Yakuza 4 in all their alluring glory.”
This is great, especially for those that want the full experience when they buy their games.

I like it how he says "loved hostesses".
I wonder if they'll leave this in now:

As long as they don't give trophies for it. I always skip the hostess bars.
Well, that sucks.
But on the bright side, it will keep the moaners away from the SEGA forums this time.
There probably will be trophis for it. There were in the Japanese version of Yakuza 3.
@Matty: That was fucked up it looked like a jacking off mini game.
I hope this content gets cut, or at the very least no trophy for such crap.
Why are some of you such negative ninnies over this? You actually want content to be cut? Stupid.
No one complaining even know what the hostess missions are all about anyways. You just run a store, change how it looks on the inside and tell your hostesses how to dress and act around the customers. That is it, and it is actually very good fun.
I haven't played Yakuza 3 & 4 so I don't know about owning the club but in Y1 & Y2 you had to spend money on them collect enough harts, take them to dinner and eventually bang them.

Also shows that Y4 apparently has introduced Table Tennis and Masturbation Mini Game, and it just looks tasteless and more on the line of pervy stuff you would expect from Tomonobu Itakgaki and being compared to that guy is just pathetic.
