@@smittywerbenjagermanjensen4737 I never really saw the people in the main storyline that way honestly. Like the substories sure, that’s usual for yakuza lol. But the main story has people like Sawshiro, Mabuchi, Kiryu, Majima, Saejima, and the final boss
I don't think that's necessarily the case. Ichiban mentions that Sawashiro specifically gets fired up and fights way better with a weapon in hand. I wouldn't say that Sawashiro was fucking around because it's almost certain there'd be consequences for him if Ichiban went through that door. If anything, this fight was lower stakes for him consequence wise because he WANTED to lose and tipped off Ichiban's crew so they'd stop him. It's just that it was higher stakes for him emotionally.
@@smittywerbenjagermanjensen4737 admittedly the combat system was a bit too simplistic, ESPECIALLY for the boss fights, often having them weak to attacks that almost don't even exist (looking at you Ice and Electric). Hopefully for the sequel they really buckle down and expand the combat mechanics.
Plus alot of Zero's boss are just... repeats. And I know the series in general has bosses where you fight the same guy again and again but Zero is really bad with it.
I don't want to come off as rude and I'm genuinely sorry if I do, but it feels like Yakuza fans only ever care about 0 and not the other games... Yakuza 4, Yakuza 5 and Yakuza 6's boss fights were really unique and amazing.
