recently finished my 100 days of vgm list over on backloggd and one of the prompts near the end was for final boss theme. spoiler alert i said "ok i'll try not to repeat any games. i can repeat series but i'll try to avoid that where i can" and then i used RGG 9 times. whoopsies. anyways that gave me an excuse to do a write some stuff for one of my favorite tracks in the whole series so here you go. it's yakuza 2. yakuza 2 spoilers.

YAKUZA 2 SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RGG track number 9 had to just sneak one more in didn't we

I've got a few grievances with Yakuza 2's story and obviously its finale isn't coming out of that discussion scot-free, but there's something so magical about Ryuji's final countdown that I can't help but love it nonetheless. There's all these backstabbing, all this trickery, these high, high stakes and massive reveals, and yet it ultimately doesn't matter, does it? Ryuji himself seems so much more sympathetic compared to how we first meet him, starting trouble at Omi HQ. But it's past that, now. It's been past that since Kiryu stepped onto that construction site. It's almost beautiful, in its own way. I think one of the bigger reasons why Ryuji's line of "A real man oughta be a little stupid" is because of how much it applies to not just him, but Kiryu in that moment. The feeling's become mutual. Two stubborn bastards in a damn suicide mission to settle things.

And god, this track. The only games I've played up to this point were 0 and the first game. I had heard Two Dragons before. I was already familiar with For Whose Sake thanks to all the Nishikiposting starting to pick up. But the first time I heard A Scattered Moment was during that final scrap. After all this badass, almost grungelike sound, I'm suddenly met with a solemn piano piece. No animosity, no anger, just mutual understanding. It's almost like a funeral march, but there's still that little bit of triumph to cling onto. It's fleeting, but these two men are hanging onto it with all of their might. It's only in this one eternal, scattered moment that they truly understand each other.

This is how it had to be. This is always how it had to be.

ok now if i just squint i can pretend that kamurocho based detective takayuki yagami wasn't found dead in an active highway in isezaki ijincho, yokohama clutching a skateboard and several packs of expired bento sets

[peemanne]

i get a lot of enjoyment from the fact that bugcatching is done with the hook. like imagine walking down the street and this 60-year old one-eyed asshole is impaling butterflies and grasshoppers with a rusty hook and chain and shoving them into his pockets. you don't need to do all that sir you can just use like a bug net or something like the rest of us

[peemanne]
