another actual problem I am developing with Yakuza 7 is how it treats Eri. I get that she's an optional party member, but the game really does her a disservice as a character in a lot of ways by basically sidelining her from the entire story

There’s a lot of weirdness around the Eri character. For one thing, she’s a real person as in, they didn’t just hire an actress and use her likeness, they had essentially a talent contest and then used her real name in the game.https://m.imdb.com/name/nm11050292/ …

They’ve done this in the past with JAV actresses in various comedic adult-themed mini games but the scouting for this role was literally for the main protagonist’s girlfriend IIRC?

And then they made her an “optional” character but like you said, it’s hard to miss her unless you just don’t do the business minigame which... is something people probably will do far enough to recruit her, right? Really she was kind of the result of a marketing stunt.

Anyway, seems to me like she was part of a marketing build in Japan to give this title a more “wholesome” vibe (theatrical actress playing the girlfriend rather than JAV actress playing a sex worker like in past games) and drive buzz and as a result she’s just kind of sidelined.
