They story of him finding the roots behind his dad and the existence of the mirrors and legends behind it are, in a weird way, more intersting. The STory istself is so simple. But with the little hints and revelations about the history it's so much more compelling. Finding out Ryo's dad is supposed to have killed the father of Lan Di. Seeing the flashback of that woman ,Xiu or something, with her brother. Who went out and joined the criminal organization Lan Di is part off.

So why does rivers float?

at this point i would settle for some downloadable text so i could read the rest of the story and picture it in my head



to be honest, in this day and age, i dont agree with him going after Lan Di anyway

avenging the death of parents is so old fashioned

his dad would woop his ass if he found out

Its set in 1985, if im not mistaken, so its not in this day.

But yeah, they dont need updated graphics, just give us the story... I wonder if Suzuki has even written an ending to the story? We dont know...

its set in 85 but hes writing for a 2006 audience

besides - the story line was going sci-fi at the end of pt ii

No. Never.

Shenmue I
$ 70 million

Shenmue 1 = Best Dreamcast Game, well, besides NFL 2K, & NBA 2K

Any news at all? Rumours? Anything?

Im not letting go....

I hear there are a lot of petitions in circulation to get Shenmue III developed (I think you actually put one on this thread yourself in an earlier page if i remember right). There's a decent chance it'll make it to Xbox 360, but I expect even if we heard something today, we'd still have to wait 4 or 5 years for it..

Suzuki must know everyone wants it, but hes not doing anything about it, which is frustrating the fans...

me earlier after thinking of shenmue 3 ^^^

He could at least say to us they'll def be a final chapter in the series, then ill sleep easier.

I'm holding out that they're keeping it all hush hush and then they're gonna release it without that much hype

i will write the final chapter if he doesnt


it would prolly suck

I wonder how tough Lan Di will be as a final boss?

ryo should have special powers by then

D/N/T the phoenix mirror

Shen Hua already has special powers. So it looks. She maybe even a thousand years old.

You know what's even more frustrating. That Shenmue II ended at the forefront of a battle. Just go look up the Project Berkely trailer and you will know what I am talking about.

Probably really hard lol. Itll probably be just like a free fight to get his health down, then a QTE to end it and probably a really hard QTE at that lol.

Maybe that's the whole reason behind the story not ending. Yu Suzuki hasn't written the ending yet, because he can't figure out hwo to end it. Writer's block. He promised too much in the first two parts.
