@JJjm To the contrary, Stellar Blade is what you get when a studio doesn't try to appease Western pearl clutchers, which is why a sizable portion of the western games press tried to drag it through the mud.

There's never been any desire to have Yakuza set in the west; As such, I'd imagine Yokoyama's statement is in a similar vein: Not wanting to compromise vision as to avoid an ineffectual "outrage".
