Hostesses

Master Yakuza: Dead Souls hostesses! Find guaranteed conversation topics, learn about outfit changes, and discover gear that increases or decreases hostess hearts.

Sometimes when speaking to a hostess, she'll ask you for a conversation topic. These are essentially free ways to get more hearts with them. Each conversation topic can be found in other places in the city but as the Quarantine Zone spreads, those locations go away. These are the guaranteed locations for each topic, which you have to get with each character to use at a hostess club.

777 Town - Conversation between the couple in front of Cafe Alps.

Cozy loungewear - Conversation between two women behind Club SEGA Nakamichi Street.

Wrapping-band weight loss - Conversation between two women at the intersection of Pink Street and Senryo Avenue after crafting three pieces of armor.

The legendary Japanese huchen - Speak to the man at the docks.

Chunky Chinese chili oil - Conversation between the two sitting men at Smile Burger.

Creamy desserts at convenience stores - Conversation between two women at Poppo Showa Street.

When you finish with a hostess' event, you can bring her out into the Quarantine Zone. You can also go to Igita in Kamiyama's van and he'll give you the option to change your hostess' outfit and weapon in the "Change Hostess Outfit" selection. If you have the DLC installed, you should have a wide array of options for both. There isn't necessarily a best weapon so go wild with whatever you want.

A useful thing to do before doing hostesses is to head to the MEB and interact with the magazine rack on the east side of the room. You'll be able to read a magazine and take it with you. As long as you keep it in your inventory, you'll receive a discount at hostess clubs.

Here's the list of accessories and gear you can use to increase your hearts with hostesses as well as the items that will decrease them.
