In reference to the Zelda episode, I was also not a fan of the weapon durability system. I just eventually avoided combat all together unless I absolutely had to, which was not often. It was just not really worth the trouble of fighting anything in that game.
Sam’s recount of how excited she was to be in Kabukichō and spotting familiar things reminded me of my trip to Tokyo and being in Shibuya for the first time. I was all “there’s the scramble crossing! There’s Hachiko! There’s the Starbucks! There’s Tower Records! There’s the 109 building! *Squee*
Seriously, when you play Yakuza or TWEWY, it really is so easy to run around Tokyo with an intense level of excitement. You feel smart!
