Finally got up to Saejima's chapter.
The finale of Kiryu's chapter was sooo damn fun. Soo many enemies to fight, though I was bummed out that the enemies just endlessly respawn. It was still really fun to do, especially without the super heat mode.
Seeing Saejima and Kamurocho again was cool but I cannot believe we're doing this prison shit again. Ended up stocking up on lots of healing items (especially after remembering how damn hard his Prison section was in the previous game).
As expected, Saejima is still terrible to play. I almost died in his beginning fight (I'm playing on Hard). The throw he gets off a ground bounce seems cool, but it doesn't seem like it'll be too useful. It's still another move that costs him heat (when he really needs it in reserve so he doesn't get knocked over) and well it's kinda bad compared to Kiryu getting bounding throws with no heat cost at all in this game.
Ended up doing Karaoke with Saejima almost instantly (since I was super disappointed that he didn't have any in Yakuza 4) and it's all comedy gold. I could not stop laughing at his engrish. Also was weirded the hell out by the strange fixation on Sodachi. I mean, geez, I know it took ages for the game to come over to English, but it wasn't that long ago lol. You woulda thought it'd be Yasuko in the picture rather than a side-NPC you could skip.
Is there some sort of option post-game or otherwise, for Majima to be your AI partner, like in Dead Souls? Because if not, it's such a damn shame, as it means we missed out on Saejima/Majima karaoke shenanigans.
