pretty sure like 50% of the stores in this game are now closed
>>
>>719602521
Closed for real or replaced with different stores? Or is the situation like in SF where it’s too expensive to maintain business that even places like McDonald’s are closing
>>
>>719600492
Good taste my go to setup is real fighting style and my wife Shizuku being drunk.

mostly replaced, toranoana is gone, all the SEGA arcades got replaced, some smaller niche stores got closed. the big ass duty free store blasting mandarin with the glass escalator shut down too
there used to be an anime gallery in UDX at Akiba, that shut down years ago too
there's a large chunk of land near the river that they're planning to bulldoze and replace with a new office space too

cant find a modern photo but the Hobby Japan Corner building is 50% empty, it used to be a 7 floor anime/figure/model store but they closed down and relocated to the main Akiba street
now it's another Tax Free Pharmacy store targeting chinese tourists and only on ground and 2nd floor, the rest of the building sits empty

shitty japanese economy and rising rent, most companies cant afford the new rent
you'd hear lots of stories about stores that have been around for decades closing down, the one Mr Donut in Akiba shut down in the past couple years
>>
Japan was the electronics capital of the world for a long time and Akihabara was electronics town in Tokyo. It's not like that anymore.
>>
>>719603030
>Tax Free Pharmacy store targeting chinese tourists
why is that, what are the chinese going to japan for that they cant get a knock off back home
>>
You and who at ching chongalalastan? Fuck two bombs weren't enough
>>
>buy strong zeroes at sev
>get wasted and leer at maid girls on the main street
>drunkenly spend hundreds of dollars at AmiAmi
>climb to the top of yodobashi and get tonkatsu
yup, its Akiba time
>>
>>719602521
Same stuff happened between AT1 and AT2.
Hell, even AT1+ had major changes because they were closing down Radio Kaikan.
>>
>>719603884
I’m sorry radio WHO?
>>
Akihabara is a fun tourist place to visit but thats all it is anymore. Just a place for tourists just like times square.
>>
>>719604007
it's a multi level building with a bunch of hobby stores. although I'm not sure what that other anon is talking about because I was there like a month ago.
>>
Get the mimic pose and use it for an entire playthrough and watch the cutscenes, you'll laugh your ass off bwo.
>>
>>719604152
They closed down Radio Kaikan for renovation in 2011, after AT1 released but did not finish before AT+ and AT2 released, so it was closed down and visibly under construction in those games.
>>
>>719603490
thats just how shit chinese stuff is, the chinese always go out and buy up
>baby milk formula
>medicine
>diapers
>rice
>>
>>719602865
theres a documentary on jewtube going over why, but TL;DR is
>anime going mainstream/global
>cleaning up the area for tourism
>otakus going online/developing local communities instead of having to go to specific areas like akihabara
>>
>>719604874
>baby milk formula
Like in total carnage?
