As dumb as the removal of the hostess clubs is, it is no reason to go ahead and not buy the game. I'm not buying it because I don't really have the money to buy it, because I need to get SSFIV when it comes out. 

Oh damn, I checked out the trophy lists and compared them...there is a lot of stuff cut apparently.  5 trophies are missing, and some others are different in the NA/EU version....so there's 2 sets of platniums this game!

In chapters 3 and 4 of the game, for example, nine of the forty available side quests have been axed from the Western version. That's a lot more than we were first led to believe, especially given Sega's original promise last year that the game was on its way in an unedited state."
 
 
Yep, that's right folks , Sega wasn't telling you everything.   They told you about some of the missing content but that wasn't all.

They axed a lot of side quests! ( Notice the article says "For example" meaning even more were axed)
 
What the fuck, Sega?

You just lost sale, SEGA. It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzylifting drinks! You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR!

Hostess clubs are awesome! Fuck.

Not sure why they couldn't just turn it into a Japanese monster quiz!!!!  I would think it wouldn't have been that hard to make it a quiz test we could pass about japan.
