Will Lan-Di and Ryo...

Come face-to-face and perhaps fight in Shenmue 3? I mean, not to the death, but like Luke and Darth in the Empire Strikes Back?

Probably come face to face and pull one of those fast ones where Ryo throws a punch and Lan Di dodges then peaces out. I expect something similar to when you first see a villain in a martial arts movie.

Yu said in an interview that David translated that we will fight Lan Di in Shenmue III.

I can re-confirm. Unless Yu Suzuki has changed things, we're going to face Lan Di. 8)

But is it the it-ends-here fight?

A good question.

Part of me thinks we're getting a swerve where Ryo can put up a fight, but can't actually beat Lan Di.

I think it would be cool if we get a fight scene where Lan Di barely even tries but Ryo still can't defeat him. Then with one swift move, he knocks Ryo to the floor, severely injuring him. This could progress Ryo's character arc and make him realise that vengeance might not be as viable or worthwhile as he thinks it is.

Obviously he'd never fully give up vengeance, but it would allow the story to home in more on Shenhua and mystery behind the Phoenix & Dragon Mirrors without Ryo's undertone of vengeance and "Where is Lan Di?!" taking centre stage.

Maybe Ryo will get revenge in a different way? Although Ryo becomes pretty much a master in Shenmue 2, I'm not sure if he can still beat Lan Di. But we'll find out..

Hiding this as a spoiler, just in case...

Based off the old storyboards (If I'm remembering correctly?) Fighting (and defeating) Lan Di is not the end of the story for Ryo.

Ryo will learn how to throw a hadouken in Shenmue III and catch Lan Di off guard. Ryo wins.

Ryo will eventually realize that his obsession with vengeance isn't healthy and talk to a psychiatrist, who will suggest that Ryo is in love with Lan-Di. The player will watch a slow motion montage with all the dreams and flashbacks regarding Lan-Di. Ryo will then stare at the camera/player and scream 'SAAAY WHAAAAAT?'

A mid game fight where Ryo gets his ass handed to him and nearly killed. Game will end much later where you meet Land Di somewhere in a rainstorm thinking this is it. This is the fight. Then he smirks does something with the Dragon Mirror and a massive Dragon emerges. Ryo does his best to not die when he realizes how to release the phoenix. Then Ryo and Lan Di fight hand to hand as in the background the Phoenix and The Dragon exchange blows much like that fight in Bayonetta 2 with the masked Baldur. Ryo defeats Lan Di but the rest of the Chi Yu Men show up all with mirrors. Ryo out of breath readies himself for another fight as he stares them down and they stoically stare right back. The game ends and says to be continued.
