The increased involvement makes it seem more like an actual investigation, as well as provides more reasons why, after working with him, these women might have an interest in Yagami. The other two potential love interests, Amane and Tsukino, each have more extended quest-chains. Nanami needs to be saved from a kidnapper in the seventh chapter’s “Smart Watching.” Yagami is the one that figures things out and “frees” her. She wants to become a singer, but in her third chapter Side Case, “Admist a Dream,” she’s going to be scammed. (Well, pretending all of the side excursions people spend collecting Poppo records or stopping at every Club Sega are not canon.) For example, Sana is the first potential girlfriend. He spends lots of time on the job in Judgment. Yagami might meet them or help them out throughout the course of the optional mission, which then basically acts as a meet cute for getting to know the characters.Īgain, it fits well with Yagami and his lifestyle. That’s because you come across them after completing Side Cases connected to them. The first few give you a chance to get your feet wet, and it isn’t until you start spending time on Yagami’s Side Cases that you get the chance to begin getting to know each of these people. Which feels like a good time, considering there are 13 chapters in the game. That’s because it attempts to have a somewhat natural progression to love.ĭating doesn’t open up in Judgment until the game’s third chapter. It all comes down to your actions, if you enjoy spending time with the women, and how much effort you are willing to invest.

Takayuki Yagami can actually find himself a girlfriend (or multiple partners) as you go through the game.

Judgment changes things up a little bit by, well, adding actual dating. Kazuma Kiryu has been able to engage in activities that led to him dating hostesses or spending time with women. In the Ryu Ga Gotoku Yakuza games, players have been able get to know different characters.
