- Locks you to freelancer to show that Ichiban has dropped all fantasy pretense
- Still allows you to shoot the orbital laser and summon Majima
Majima running down a skyscraper and throwing 1000 knives is canon
Fun fact: if you miss a QTE, Ichiban continues to scream and the button reappears again
And if you fail the first one the fight resumes with Masato healing some
@@tyveculus220 I wish that happened for all the QTEs. If you missed, Ichiban took damage, and Masato would regain half of his health.
@@ethanedwards3357 would be interesting but honestly you would just be delaying even further a very limited fight.
For some reason I can't find *any* footage of the qte fails for this fight.
You don't take damage?
It's like they took the concept fighting someone weak like Jingu and Munakata, but actually made it work because the fight isn't annoying. The context is really strong and the QTEs made it satisfying
nah not jingu he was good
Not without his fuck boys, you mean
@@sl1nkz818 Jingu was hell
It turns out that not having the boss just run around taking potshots while hiding behind goons works miracles in making bosses not annoying.
It's why Ibuchi in Kiwami 2, despite using a gun, was less frustrating to fight.
@@Veqtronic Ibuchi's moveset was reused from the assassin that were trying to take Makoto away and guns don't do too much shit in the dragon engine anyways (except that one Amon)
What I like about the final fight with Ryo/Masato is that beforehand, Ichiban's viewed nearly the entire game through the lens of his fantasy world, where he's the big hero in his own Dragon Quest game and it informs this world of aggressive Yakuza and very real consequences for those around him, especially the people he cares for and respects.
But for the final fight, he's discarded all that and he's fighting with his bare hands as any good Yakuza protaganist would, and there's even some QTE's in there for good measure, as if the reality of the Yakuza series is bleeding back into Ichiban's world as he finally abandons the fantasy one he built up in the hours beforehand and accepts the world around him.
He also snaps back to reality after beating a man with a blue dragon tattoo. He's slain the dragon, so in he's beaten the final boss. The game is over.
this is after he beat Tendo, who had a dragon tattoo. Ichiban (the hero) killed the dragon, his game ended there. This fight was where the real shit began
Y8 goes back to the 0-6 style
@@DrearyMiri I hope not
@@DrearyMiri L
a lot of people just don't understand the fight with Ryo/Masato. like yes he's easy but that's the point. he's not some beefed up Yakuza, he's a politician who was also wheelchair bound for the first 20 some odd years of his life. and to Ichiban he's his brother, he doesn't want Ryo to die he just wants to stop him.
No epic opening, no clan badges, only his real name. Also you are forced back to freelancer, clearly Ichiban doesn’t want this fight at all. You can see so many details in this single fight.
@@__demo__1009 also his fight doesn't have fantasy elements.
Ichciban’s VA is amazing. He did great with Nishiki and he did even better with Ichiban
Both English and Japanese Ichi just kills man. I love them and can't wait to them make Ichi their own in more games
@@tavoknaza7086 dare I say, as a playable character, I like him even more than Kiryu. He’s just got so much personality :)
@@charliemcmillan4230 Not gonna lie. Same.
@@charliemcmillan4230 I love my boi kiryu but Ichiban hits different
@@deviljho4260
Ichi is just more relatable, to me at least.
it’s hard to relate to Kiryu, when he’s the closest thing to human perfection.
and I feel like that was the intention, going forward with Ichiban’s entire design.
14:54 I love the idea that, since this is the only QTE in the game, Ichiban is finally starting to look past his delusions & is becoming a real fighter. No more over-the-top attacks like orbital lasers or summons, but just full-on fist fight.
The fact they force you into the Free Lancer class with all its skills really reinforce that shit is serious now and Ichiban isn’t playing hero at this point. He’s just Ichiban and trying to beat some sense into his brother.
@@phsquared1000 and with that in the next game we can lean back in to the beat em up style gameplay
right?
@@xikpart I like the rpg though.
@Dominic Docherty understandable. I just feel like they could do like 1 or 2 more games like this before switching it up. If the next one does end up not being an rpg then I hope they at least use this style for a spin-off or something.
I mean you still can use the orbital laser but I get your point lol
8:40 lmao Ryo looks so nonplussed about the fact that he's getting his face crushed
his expression is like "really guys? you're gonna break my glasses"
From a game standpoint, Yosuke Tendo is the final boss.
From a story standpoint, Masato Arakawa is the final boss.
kinda same thing in kiwami 2, the real final boss was man in black just before Ryuji, hahaha
@MrHellboy112 that knife boot guy was a pain to deal with
Like in Kenzan
It's hard to play the game when everything is so blurry in the end... Oh wait.
Same tbh xD
I've seen plenty of people complain how this fight is too easy and unclimaxtic. They kinda miss the point that this is not a proper fight, this is two brother release their frustration at life through the use of their fist.
Masato know for damn sure he ain't beating a hardened Yakuza, but what he gonna do? surrender while still angry about his life?
Besides, we had Tendo before and is the person who was being built up as strong as hell
Also I doubt he did much fighting in the first place.
The guy was paralyzed for half his life
Just because there's a reason for it doesn't excuse it. Still anticlimactic
@@captaincrash9002 nah
...
That doesn't excuse the lack of challenge. Metal gear solid 4 did this better.
I feel like Masato's boss fight is more just an interactive cutscene or epilogue, it's really easy but it makes sense for it to be. Masato and Ichiban's VAs did an incredible job here and the ending though, some of the best performances in the series
Masato's va is one of those really popular senyu in Japan, he also voice for Guido Mista from GW and Junpei from Persona 3
@@JohnYakooza That's interesting, somehow I didn't notice even though I played through Persona 3 with a JP voice mod. Haven't watched Jojo since golden wind finished airing though, I should rewatch it before the stone ocean anime comes out
And Kaeya on Genshin Impact
Also Phoenix Wright and Charlie Nash VA
Everything after the fight with Ryo/Masato has the best acting in the series.
No cap 🧢
So true
Honestly I disagree
Everyone had the best acting after the fight
The English version was flames too
@@imanuelk7200 facts I wanted that scene to be nailed the most in the dub. And they did great
I think Masato as a villain is a more well rounded and effective Nishiki. I love how we the player and the cast as a whole only ever see him as this pure evil monster leaving Ichiban as the only one that has ever seen his human side Masato is so desperate to validate. It really makes that final section so heartbreaking with how Ichi is pleading about how their family bond doesnt need to make sense.
Dumb spammer.
If you dont take into account 0, I agree. But with 0 it rounds nishiki as a man struggling to earn anyone's respect. He just wants someone to say "thank you nishiki, I appreciate you"
@@Not_ClaptrapThat's the thing. It took Masato one game what Nishiki needed two games to present.
@@miguelsuaza4413 RGG Studio definitely took advantage of an opportunity and used Y0 and Kiwami to 'patch' a lot of little issues that made the original Y1 hold up badly when compared to the rest of the franchise.
For an added layer of irony, Ichiban is technically both Ichiban and Kiryu in certain respects.
14:55 when the Quick Time Event kicks off along with the best part of the music. Brings a chill to the spine.
Something I like about this fight is that kasuga is limited to freelancer, it means he isn't taking shit and isn't gonna act like a little kid and is becoming a non delusional fighter.
such an amazing final boss, the music and the set up was perfect. Even if it was easy it just shows the difference between Ichiban and Masato.
Amazing profile pic
It just shows how that depsite how much other characters mock and put down Ichiban for where he's come from, he ultimately proved that he's more than capable of forging his own legend.
Little baby iwa- never mind wrong young master who killed his father here.
_aoki no boccha_
@@zepperisan "Ke-sama..." (How dare you...)
I mean, he didnt *actually* kill his father, just tried to
I did this fight on hard and spammed the hyper swagger ability and he couldn’t hit me once. The only time he ever did is when ever he counter attacked. Whenever you dodged his attacks, he stomped his foot in frustration it was hilarious. Imagine it happening multiple times in a row. I absolutely embarrassed him.
"Your face pisses me off!"
I like it how Masato doesn't have a heat aura cause the game tells us that heat auras can only be seen by Ichiban and that's cause of his gamer brain and the way he views everything but for this fight he views the world normally and cause of that there is no heat aura for Masato just a man
God this game has brilliant writing
I mean, a Sidestory in one of the games had someone telling Kiryu to not use those blue flame moves, I just don't think Masato has a heat aura at all
@@moron4He has, but the guy playing this was so overleveled that he didn't even gave the boss enough turns to activate his aura and heat moves.
It's amazing and tragic on how good Masato Arakawa is as a villain. He's what happens if Ichiban disregards family, friendship, compassion, and love, and instead treats everyone as disposable pawns to rise at the top. His theme also captures how Masato is lost, and now it's up to Ichiban to save him and show him the light.
unfortunately he has seen the highest light
heaven

Lmao, this for kiryu, Saejima or majima is a normal thug in the street
Don’t forget Dead Souls, With the tower-sized rock monster that could only be defeated by feeding it explosives.
Essence of elegance
Essence of pryomancy
Essence of assassination
Essence of a FUCKING SPACE CANNON-
He is one of the best yakuza final bosses in a while
Couldn't agree more
nooooo i don't think so
@@ryuga9952 so you dont like him
No lmao
i mean, as an antagonist, yes. but as an actual boss, not really, his boss fight wasn't even intended to be difficult. Tendo was the real final boss.
I usually use weak moves in the final masato boss just for the music and I learned that he has some actual damaging moves, sadly he always uses the same shit
I get that this game had you do turn base the entire time and what I am suggesting would be far out of left field, but if, or the very final battle, they reverted it back into classic Yakuza combat, it would have been cool
The turn base is very well done. I hated on it at first, but I honestly can’t imagine going back.
IMO the turn based combat is needed to show the bond between Ichiban and the rest of the party properly. Kiryu had friends ofc, but because when you're playing Kiryu you're doing the majority of the heavy lifting yourself, his allies feel like helpless spectators at times.
Ichiban is a character that draws people to him, and that ability to get everyone to join him and believe in each other and themselves to achieve more than they could ever imagine is his real strength. Not his ability to win fist fights on the millennium tower shirtless in the rain like Kiryu, or the combination of a razor sharp mind with equally sharp Kung Fu like Yagami, but the ability to get people to work with him for a common goal simply by showing them genuine compassion, and they give him 100% in return.
Now imagine that when it comes to fights Ichiban drops five people with three punches, and the others all have to gang up on the remaining guy to do 30% of his life bar for Ichi to finish them. Does that sound like a team, or a bunch of groupies and gophers following their hero around.
@@TheFirstAtom let’s not pretend the grind was fun
@@uriyah_724 I never found myself to be under powered, so I had no issues with it.
mirror face is a really dumb plot device lol. i wish they wouldve come up with a different way to trick ryo aoki into revealing he's a murderer on camera
15:45 Alternate universe: Nishiki is the one to finish Kiryu with his hardest punch after Kiryu doing his
I'm sure 1,000 people before me mentioned this detail, but I love how everyone fights Ryo Aoki, but in his final fight, he turns back to Masato Arakawa. All pretenses, all facades, all images down. For once in his life, he can let everything fall off and be Masato Awakawa again. Fucking love it, thank you Ichiban
Shit this fight hurts so fucking much, I've never been this sad since the Nishiki fight in Kiwami
Seriously, thanks for not spoiling anything in the thumbnail and title of the video.
This is actually the fight between brothers and felt so emotional.
I like how uncertain Aoki looks upon seeing the aftermath of Ichiban and co fighting through the tower. He can't believe that the loud, game playing goofball he used to know actually did any of this lol
Looks like Kaito Kid finally got his cameo in Yakuza
I just beat the main story not too long ago. I thought that QTE was going to be like Ryuji's in Kiwami 2, didn't know that missing it resulted in a game over
Darkness for Masato’s evil Ambition, Light is for Masato Understanding Ichiban
13:19 for the ACTUAL fight
I noticed that, not only your class changes to Freelancer for this fight, the game also gives you Essence of Roadside Weapon in case you don't have it.
Its not just roadside weapon its all the skills of the job basically if you didn't do jackshit to level up freelancer in the final fight the game will make the job set lvl 28 only for that time.
@@langly.-9839 yeah, Hero's so good that even changed Ichiban's job
Ichi's seiyuu is just amazing, no words to describe how much this made me cry.
Kiryu would've sent Masato flying clean out of the tower with one hit.
Everyone in the room
Every single one of his bosses proves otherwise.
@@joshwhite557 huh? His bosses would one shot Ichiban and his team. Make no mistake, there’s giant gap between Ichiban and Kiryu. Even Yagami’s no match for Kiryu.
@@dragonkamran Even Shinada is stronger than Ichiban.
Strength doesn't matter it's the emotions behind the fight that matters.
Despite being possibly the worst boss battle in the game, I really love Ryo Aoki/Masato Arakawa as the final fight before the game is over. It's so emotional, man. Ichiban's one true friend, who he was always caring about and just looking out after, backstabs the Hell out of him throughout the entire game and it just hurts so much. The way the game abandons whatever class you've chosen, forcing you to go hand to hand/Freelancer and slug it out with him like a real Yakuza as the reality of the way the world works sets in for Ichiban, it hits so hard. The ONLY THING this boss is missing is a Dynamic Intro.
This boss may be weak and shit BUT MAN, the writing, the music, and the feelings behind it make up for it to me.
"you're pretty good."
You finally did it, you beat the game in LEGEND and I was impressed by the performance. I wish you'll do the "True Final Millennium Tower" run soon...
Feel like the fight with Aoki and Ichiban only shouldn't have been turn-based
4:18 We can still see Tendo back there
5:59 Where is he now? Wish we got his help fighting against Aoki and his backup
Mirror Face disguised himself as MissingNo. That's why we can't see him.
So happy Leon used different moves for the final fight rather than spamming the same moves and damaging the drama like everyone else on TH-cam seems to 😂
I know Masato's supposed to be weak, but i'd just wish they'd give him just a little more health.
Story wise,This guy is final boss, but Kiryu’s fight actually felt like a final boss
Tendo, not Kiryu. Kiryu didn’t have a One hit kill move
@@stevenliang3213 Yeah I realised one hit kill move is very important for a JRPG final boss to have since it’s a 4v1 with the ability to revive themselves. It brings the fight more challenging. That’s why I found IW final bosses a bit underwhelming than Tendo.
Goro and Taiga just whooped my ass like 6-7 times before I beat em on lvl 52. So I gotta grind even harder to hit 59 to beat the game…
Ichiban acts good enough ! Impressive
i still kinda wish it were the actual tendo turning on aoki, esp since everything mirror face said about feeling disposable is smth tendo could say (especially given there was an entire scene about aoki telling tendo to his face he was disposable), not to mention tendo being on ichiban's side in sotenbori shows he's capricious as hell anyway
7:55 i'm ashamed to admit it took me _this_ long to see that it says "Kasuga" on the orbital laser. Thus begs the question: does it say "Amon" on Shin's orbital laser?
I refrained from using skills as much as possible during this fight. Just attack, attack and attack.
Are you going to give your updated thoughts/review on the game since it has now been localized? I literally just finished the game about an hour ago and this game and the story in particular is honestly up there as one of my favourites in the whole Yakuza series.
I was thinking of getting this game off gamepass but I'm not really sure if I should now
Devilleon7: need help brother how do i defeat mabuchi hes strong as hell and im on level 21 with my 3 characters on chapter 7 what do i do how do i get another character please help me
To get another character to fill in the other guys spot is to get Eri. To get Eri you meed to reach rank 100 in the real estate minigame, which is only like 30 minutes to an hour of grinding.
Oh my god that’s EXACTLY where I’m stuck at!
ichiban 🤝nero *dropkicking people when their elder protags never did*
I feels like yakuza 7 story is the refined version of yakuza 1/kiwami. I mean man, look at the similarity this game provided.
I love how they punch each other in the quick time event. Even the quick time event is turn-based.
What if you failed the QTE? Will it just repeat until you succeeded or will it be a game over?
I failed the last one and it just does it but from a single camera angle
Best song in the game.
ok how is no one talking about the qte sync tho
Masato’s VA is the same as Strider Hiryu’s, I wonder what Ichiban would do if he hears hiryu’s voice in a Project x Zone Sequel
So I’m confused, in the previous fight, did I actually fight Tendo or Mirror Face?
Real Tendo
Actual tendo. Mirror face drags tendo from behind the desk to scare aoki
Man that final QTE looks familiar doesn't it?
What's it from
I like the detail of switching you to the freelancer/homeless/yakuza job for this fight, it’s piss easy but I don’t think the point was difficulty
Even during his aoki phase he didn’t put up that much of a fight aside from his guards
In the end, ichiban got all he got from sheer determination all from a soap house and yet for all the benefits that masato arakawa got, he simply lacked the strength ichiban had, a failure who rose up to be the dragon that would end this war once and for all
what the fuck i've only seen funny pictures online about this game and i expected everything but this
Can anyone tell me how.to level up quickly? I've been doing the invested vagabond farm in kamurocho sewers and got everyone's character level to 99 but there's so many jobs to level up and all the dude characters have I think 8 jobs to level up. Its still super slow even with so items and I heard you need most if not all at lvl 99 to do the final Millennium tower dungeon.
That's the method i know but try looking up some video guide.
I did lol everyone says the same thing. I was just hoping there was a better way but guess not. Its still unbelievable slow. It takes like 3 or 4 hours with 2 class exp items on to get to 99 and that's just one class. The male character get like 8 or 9 jobs a piece so its gonna take forever.
@@joshwhite557 Oh wow have patience then.
You don't really need to have all the jobs at the highest. I'd say just have it at the very least rank 30. And if you're tired of grinding, there's a mod to get kiryu and majima in your party. With their skills (and equipping the weapons that the mod recommends) the millennium tower can easily be beat at level 70 rank 27-30 jobs
he should have done that trick about when he hid in the box
Leon are you going to do a video on the true final millennium tower?
Idc that the fight is easy. It feels right to have it in the game. Never gonna forget how good 7's story was.
The fight was easy because masato was weak he was always having others fight his battles
14:55 the music sync from here tho
what level should i be to stand a chance?
Can Ichiban do fist only from the beginning to the end?
Yes
i think there is a little bit of playtime between when Ichiban unlocks the hero style and when you can switch classes, but other than that yes you can have ichiban use the freelancer style throughout the whole game
It can't use weapons but makes up for it by getting big attack boosts but that at later levels. Most people.will.tell you not to use it because other jobs are better but imo its perfectly viable throughout the whole game.
ive played till 2 im really happy it did not have rpg like this
Man how did you level up that much LOL
Nice mafia city gameplay
is this yakuza or basara why yakuza fight using magic like that ok turn base but fight with magic is weird lol
2:15 whats the song?
for anyone else who just came for the fight, 13:20
14:52 this move by brock lesnar suplex !?
My mistake german suplex.
Suplex city b1tch
I thought kiryu was the final boss
> Mista voice actor
> 6:23
Masato Arakawa (ism).
Does anyone know how to beat mabuchi need help thanks
Bruh hes ez
Level up in dungeon
why are you asking here
Is there a Japanese/English Voice option??
Yes. You can choose dubbing or the original Japanese at the beginning of the game like you could in judgement.
What is the soundtrack at 13:50?
It's called lsm, maybe.
“Ism”
3:12 is this implying that arakawa got killed entirely by mirror face and not tendo? cuz holy shit that might actually be a more hilarious plot twist than people not getting the cultural difference in the coin locker twist
No, Tendo was the actual killer.
@@masterjustin2246 thank fuck. this plot twist was actually gonna make me go insane
@Sockren was hired to kill ichiban and jo but it was a lie masato used him as a decoy to blow everyone up including him but he survived and help exposed masato because he broke the contract
Man it doesn't have that intensity as previous boss fights :(
Aoki is quite possibly the only bullet-resistant governor in history.
in the first fight with masato he just ran away
oh wow masato is somewhat threatening on legend
I really hate what they did to combat in this game
I do to but I'd give it a try. The storys still worth it.
@@doctorwhochannel51 yeah I suppose you're right everyone's talking about it! It's just, a Yakuza game is known for its awesome fighting gameplay not this rpg crap
@@aceofspades4655 meh. Someones probably gonna mod normal combat to it.
Before I played like a dragon I absolutely detested rpg games. They were a slog, boring, and just unenjoyable. Like a dragon completely changed my mind about them though
@@doctorwhochannel51 Thats basically impossible
I can’t stand Aoki, didn’t feel bad when he died. He reminds me of Jingu and Nishiki put together.
As a villain I like him because he’s supposed to represent everything Ichiban isn’t. But idk I didn’t dislike him nearly as much as I disliked Kume.
Ichiban's first final boss doesn't have so much hype unlike Kiryu's
Kiryu's first final boss wasn't that cool neither
The hype in Nishiki's fight without the material from 0 or Kiwami was kind of lacking
Which first kiryu boss are you referring to?
@@Shade497 nishiki from the first yakuza
@@poketcircuitfighter8288 yeah, I thought he mighta been referring to 0
Worse final boss in the franchise... too easy and I don’t care about storywise.. nobody put excuse when in Kiryu saga there is a weak final boss
Kenzen!
Because Kiryu doesn’t have any emotional final boss anymore after Nishiki and maybe Ryuji. Others are either being an asshole in the plot or just Aizawa. They are only strong to withstand the plot. Emotional final boss doesn’t need it.
Saeko looks funny with everything she does
