Well i mean These guys ain't saint, Even Kiryu himself admit it, Saejima pretty much 'mass murdering' Ueno Seiwa, and Daigo already kill good amount of people. so yeah none of them are saint

I think this is the first instance of a dynamic outro. No qte's, no transitions into gameplay, instead the opposite. It transitioned into the results screen. This is pure cinema.
I love that Kiryu looks a lot more like his ps2 model in this game when he's wearing the suit. It's even in the little text bubbles when he's having conversations. Great touch. The colors of his suit are the exact same as his ps2 one as well.
they've brought Daigo up to the level where he fights with the top Tojo guys. At the end of Gaiden, Daigo was going to go fight the last guy himself and Kiryu had to reach an arm out and stop him.
What's even Funnier is Kiryu Has the Highest Kill count of the protags follwed by Daigo and Saejima unless you count Dead Souls in which Majima has killed hundreds meanwhile Kiryu and Ryuji have killed thousands
The last cutscene having the yakuza 4 toguether. They all came to aid kiryu when it mattered the most and this scene is the best in the game ( along the fight )
This cutscene is so weird, people just appear and disappear so much. Like the goons that Daigo fights straight up manifest out of thin air, and it really feels like once someone is off-screen they just go into limbo. Also, the second goon Daigo headbutted just straight clipped through a table. It’s so cool but every time I go back to rewatch it I can’t help but notice how jank it is. It’s super hype and made me cry the first go around, but still kinda jank
You just pointed one major issue with action cutscene in these game , RGG DO NOT GIVE A FUCK about False connections in their staging. I can list so many more example if you want
Totally irrelevant, but, later in the Millennium Tower, Kiryu chucks a grenade into a helicopter. Kiryu doesn’t kill anyone, because the grenade, helicopter debris and gravity did.
This cutscene went so hard!! I want a game about those three between 6, 7 and 8 but the Dissolution would feel repetitive. Perhaps we'll get a Daigo or Haruto solo game set a few years in the future to show the struggle to uphold the Will of the Dragon!

When did we ever see Sohei fi- ohhhh wait his actual father figure
Daigo's fighting style is heavily obviously heavily inspired by Kiryu's original style when you look at it properly, and I love that.

Bluds really said "hey, there's only 5 of them, and that's 3 less from being a yakuza 8!". That's some infinite wealth right there.
note to self if you must fight these 4 together make sure you rush someone besides majima, itll hurt alot more but at least it wont be lethal

The fact that you can atleast survive fighting Daigo, Kiryu and Taiga but not Majima. The Mad Dog straight-up slaughter his enemies.
