Stranger Than Heaven May Have Forgotten One Thing That Made Yakuza Great

Stranger Than Heaven's prologue is set in old-timey San Francisco, but the area isn't explorable and its buildings and narrow alleyways feel more generically East Coast. The author notes that RGG has vividly captured real-world neighborhoods like Waikiki, Kabukicho, and Dotonbori in past games, and expected more here given the time period. Only the heavy fog and miserably cold nights ring accurate.
