I’ve only listed the answers that reward the maximum affection gains.

    • While the other three are in Castle Cabaret.
  • You will need to max out three heart levels for each Hostess in order to romance them.

My Opinion On The Cabaret Hostesses

My playtime of Like a Dragon Gaiden (Image by Me)

The Hostesses are a neat addition to Like a Dragon Gaiden, especially since they’re a recurring feature in the Yakuza game series. This time, I was surprised to see the developers add them here via live-action footage. The answers to gain each Hostess’ affection isn’t something too tricky to figure out if you ask me, and by fully romancing them past Heart Level 2, you can take part in a romantic moment with them afterward.
