Yakuza 3 - Boss Battles: 11 - Yoshitaka Mine (EX-HARD)

Ойындар

There we go, the final boss of the game! I would've attempted more tries to get better looking gameplay, but that meant I had to spend over 35 minutes doing the long fight over and over until I reached Mine and sat through the cutscene to get to the fight, so I just tried to do my best on my first try. Hope you guys like it.
Something to consider and discuss: Mine has a dynamic intro and one QTE that keeps repeating over and over, much like the final boss of 6 with the exception that it doesn't repeat with 6's final boss, so why is it that the final boss of 6 gets so much backlash while Mine gets all the praise in comparison? Replying with the argument of that it's a newer game doesn't work, because Ryuji in Yakuza 2 had two QTEs while Mine, in a sequel, had only one. In terms of gameplay, Mine and the final boss of 6 are literally the same in terms of boss mechanics, the only thing Mine has over him is a short scene after beating him, that's it. Plus, look at it this way: 6 didn't have just one big bad, it had two, and i'm sure you can guess who the second guy is, you fight him before the final boss. If you get careless with 6's final boss, he'll end you quickly, maybe even quicker than Mine. 3 in its entirety barely had that many QTEs, and despite the fact that 6 could've had more QTEs in the end that would serve to make it look much more stylish, I still think it was good, especially considering that the emotional effect it had on me was much stronger than any other moment in the series, and this is coming from someone who started with OG 1, and I can't wait to play 6 in English once it's out.

    I truly feel bad for Mine. His whole childhood he had nothing and no one. Wanting everything he couldn't have was all that kept him going. And when he eventually got it, it wasn't enough. He could have everything he wanted, and he bought it all, but he always wanted more and more. Deep down he was trying to compensate for his loneliness by buying all of the stuff he ever wanted as a kid to make himself happy, but it couldn't buy what he NEEDED: to be loved. Eventually he forgot why he became successful in the first place, and only focused on wanting. His money corrupted him accidentally. That's beyond depressing

Kiryu however had Nishiki by his side, as well as Patriarch Kazama, Kashiwagi... Mine had no one.

    Mine is, along with Nishiki, another evil counterpart to Kiryu: both were orphans, and stoic people along with being powerful fighters, hell, both joined the Yakuza too, along with having similar draconic tattoos. But where Kiryu joined the Yakuza out of the desire of making Kazama proud, Mine joined for money and power, and where Kiryu is empathetic towards others, Mine is cold and distant to everyone except Daigo. So yes, Mine is what Kiryu could have easily became if he didn't have Kazama, Yumi and Nishiki at his side and if he was not loved at all.

    **Spoilers ahead for yakuza 3** I can easily say after finishing this story Mine was an awesome villain. He was scary, calculated, and strong. So much so that after the fight Kiryu was bleeding and gasping for air, something that you don't see often in his final boss battles. Also the song in the background (Fly) really hit because it's the same theme that played when Rikkiya was dying. And when you finally beat Mine the music switches to a Piano esc version of it. 18:23 I feel like that meant that you fulfilled your promise to Rikkiya which was and I quote " Don't let Mine win." Yakuza is a very underrated series in my opinion!

    I mean... Kinda, but we also can see how dangerous he was despite not knowing a lot from him: 1.-He killed Kanda and showed his head to Kiryu and the rest 2.-Let Tamashiro destroy Morning Glory 3.-And we also see his speech about how the orphanages Kiryu raised doesnt deserve to live This is mostly a build-up to its climax and character arc. It isnt a necessarily bad thing, since the rest of the game was focused on Okinawa/Ryudo family, Kanda and the Chinese mafia, and a lot other of subplots. I think Mine got a really good screen-time in the end and had an amazing performance as the main villain. Top 2 along Nishiki, no doubt.

When he rages up and the aura goes around him, can't be stunned and his hits/combos hit like a dam truck. I've also never seen Kiryu drop to his knee after a fight gasping for air.

It's understandable this battle isn't as stylish as some future final battles because this was just the third game and at the time this was the coolest shit we have seen, while in 6 it feels like a step back after Yakuza 0's final battles. But who knows maybe after Yakuza 6 gets released in english a lot of people will change their opinions

    *SPOILER ALERT FOR YAKUZA 6* I think 6's final boss was much more of a threat than Mine ever was. All Mine did was order the destruction of the orphanage, but killing Rikiya was purely a coincidence that happened by Tamashiro and not Mine. On the other hand, we have 6's final boss who: 1 - Manipulated people around him, including his own *father,* and it doesn't stop there, he also killed him without hesitation. 2 - We find out that the police officer that arrested Majima and Saejima in the beginning works for Iwami, later in the game, he goes to Toto Hospital to get Haruka, where he kills a police officer if I remember right and shoots Date in the process as well. (EDIT: That police officer, Honjo, turns out to be clueless about Iwami's schemes, he was just ordered by a higher up who was tipped by Iwami to bring back Haruka because Honjo was told that she was illegally taken away, so he believed it since he's an honest cop, and afterwards two cops with him shot him dead, this is worse than what I thought happened before playing the English release.) 3 - He is the only villain who dared to directly hold not only Haruka, who is already precious enough to Kiryu, but also her infant son, right before Kiryu's very eyes, and Kiryu couldn't afford to do anything but endure the hatred-filled beatings that were about to approach. 4 - In gameplay, he can drain your HP really quick if you're not careful enough, you have to dodge right and avoid getting grabbed by him. And there's probably details that are more in-depth that i'm not aware of because I don't 100% understand the game yet, but those should give you something to think about. Iwami is vile, utterly, and completely, from bottom to top, and I really like that about him. You don't see many of them in Yakuza, especially one that went as far as he did. Not even Shibusawa was this despicable.

    I always wondered whether Mine was the strongest Yakuza final boss in the Kiryu saga or not. When we think about the scene right before the fight begins, Kiryu looks a bit less confident on beating Mine than what we see against Nishiki, Daigo, Aizawa and Iwami. Maybe Goda could compete with Mine, but, while I played Yakuza 2, it really looked to me like Kiryu was a 100% sure he was capable of beating Goda. Well, maybe it's just an impression, or maybe it's because the post-fight scene can make you believe the fight against Mine was tighter than it actually was.

    *SPOILER ALERT FOR YAKUZA 6 AHEAD* You're definitely right about Mine and Iwami essentially very similar in terms of boss structure, but for me, I think Mine succeeds where Iwami stumbles a bit because Mine FELT a lot more powerful. Not to mention we had a scene of him tearing Kanda, a boss who I had a decent amount of trouble with my first playthrough (didn't have Essence of Self-destruction at the time) about five new assholes with just a few punches. Iwami really didn't have a lot of scenes that established him as a powerhouse fighter, but more so as a cold, calculating mastermind who orchestrated a near-perfect scheme to take over the Tojo Clan. So basically, Mine FELT a lot more powerful than Iwami did to me, which was reinforced by Kiryu's flavor text for the final battle "He is nothing to me". That being said, I still appreciate the final boss, as it was terrifying and enthralling to see Kiryu in full cold-blooded murder mode, not to mention we get to drive home a major sticking point in the entire series: Guile doesn't mean a damn thing if you can't back it up with your fists.

    I sort of wonder why the devs of the series left really noticeable inconsistencies between the animations at the end of some of the final bosses that ALWAYS play out, and the following cinematic, such as here, when Mine is all tired out and attempts to throw one last punch at Kiryu before he collapses to the ground in the in-game cutscene, then in the subsequent ending cinematic, he's suddenly standing and then falls to his knees before laying out on the ground. A more recent inconsistency would be when at the end of Yakuza 0, in the final QTE when you beat down Shibusawa on the boat's railing and knock him out, they're both near the railing in the in-game animation before the cinematic, but afterwards, you can see that they're nowhere near the railing and that Kiryu and Shibusawa's positions are more in the middle of the platform.

    Mine simply was given a lot more screentime compared to Y6's final boss, who remained in the background until his true colors were revealed. We got to know Mine as a character from the very beginning so the fight with him had a lot more build-up. There's also the fact that the fight with Mine is significantly tougher and longer than the fight with Y6's final boss, who can be beaten easily if you didn't impose handicaps on yourself when leveling up. From a gameplay perspective, the gravity of the final battle feels a lot more palpable in Yakuza 3.

    This is still one of the best final bosses in the series. It's so tightly designed and full of surprises. The versatile and super strong styles make you have to play smart. I loved Yakuza 6, but I don't think any of the bosses came close to being as well designed as Mine-San. The last incredible bosses were in 0 (though Majima and Nishiki did kick ass in Kiwami). The room you fight Nishiki in the millennium tower is still one of the best locations I've ever seen for a boss fight. It's simple, but layered and works so well for a one on one Ryu Ga Gotoku confrontation. The only one that beats it for me is the ship you fight Shibusawa on. I like the multiple phases and layout switches.
