Yakuza 3 Remastered is now available on the PC, and “Canzah” and “Slow” have released a must-have mod for it. According to the modders, this mod restores the licensed music that was cut from the western version of the game, implements higher quality videos from the PS3 version and uncensors the game.
Going into more details, the songs that this mod restores are “Loser”, “Omoi Ga Afuretara” and “Jikan yo Tomare” by Japanese singer “Eikichi Yazawa”. It also restores “Don Quixote Theme” of the Japanese discount chain store “Don Quijote”.
Additionally, the mod replaces all the pre-rendered videos with the original ones from PS3. These videos are of higher quality than their PS4/PC counterparts.
Furthermore, the mod corrects a certain line of dialogue in a cutscene before the final boss. Lastly, it restores the Tamashiro Family Crest and Pin to the original Rising Sun motif. As the modders noted, SEGA censored them in PS4/PC versions due to its association with Japanese Imperialism in some regions of the world.

Have fun!

There is also CPU fix.
Normally the game eats like 50-70% on every settings even on LOW like some kind of emulator.
That fix improves the CPU usage and performance.
Thanks John, really appreciate your mods presentation.
Excellent news, already got my fitgirl installer ready.
There’s also one released for Y4 already. Restoring old Tanimura among other things.
All it needs now is the crossdresser quest
I’m fine with trans censorship.
it’s the only censorship I agree with. Keep those freaks away.
Sadly in Yakuza case it probably mean censoring a character who shine a bad light on trans. Oh well, Sega doesn’t deserve money in any case.
.. the what now?…. A cross dresser quest?
Yeah, there was a sidequest where a giant muscular crossdressing man followed you around.
Sega censored it because it’s “problematic”
this was the one that got that removed?
not a single difference in the comparison screenshots. I had them fullscreen, with my face all up on the screen, switching back and forth with a single press…not a single pixel was different, I compared all the comparison screenshots. Either the guy messed up when making the comparison screenshots by comparing the same exact screenshots to thenselves or there is literally no graphical difference at all. Plus to get every single comparison screenshots to be on the same exact frame, not a single frame difference, is just not likely, you would need winning lottery ticket level of luck to get every single shot to be the exact frame. I call b.s. on the restoration quality claims, I think it’s the same exact video with the audio restored.
