I can't exactly recall my feelings...but I'm so thankful that it was a surprise and I wasn't spoiled. The only hint I read was "the roof is when it gets really good" or something along those lines. It is indeed a very dramatic moment, and next to Shenhua and the fluffs, and the shenmue tree's appear...

I think it must have been too late when I arrived. I spent some time talking to people after beating chai then went to asia travel co and finished disc 2. It's probably that.

You know how goro shows up and says 'meet me tomorrow ill get you a job"? I never found him...It was new years day, the same day i beat chai at the arcade. I don't get it... I thought he was around warehouse number 12 or something? (I did look everywhere though)

I was going to post here, and mention the great music...I'll have to download it, thanks white shadow. I found it on my 3rd time through, heh. I think I read it online first though. And, what floor is the church (orphanage?) in thousand white building...you leave with Wong without finding out exactl...

I'm now trying to get a job...

It's weird though, because I was at the harbor for like 6 hours looking for Goro...it was new year's day, maybe he was at home or something? Or was it because I beat chai at the arcade?

LOL, God, those kids scare the crap out of me. Especially Glasses. If I ever went to Dobuita, I'd bring a big screen tv, plop it in the middle of the road, and boot up shenmue. Anything to get more people to notice it... I wonder how many people there know shenmue? And how it takes place right there...

Samus deserves much better...

That's cool...have you been to Sakuragaoka and/or yamanose also? Are they pretty accurate? I saw a picture of sakuragaoka ( I think) and it didn't look a whole lot like it does is shenmue...which is fine by me, because the accuracy of dobuita makes me want to go there really bad!! And Is dobuita abo...

I wonder if there's a real yokosuka bar and mjq bar!?? I would kill to go to one of those...I love those places

THey don't say bye... I think silas mentioned that if you lose the first CQTE with ren, you see her. I'm supporting this... I played shenmue II three times. My first time I failed this qte, and I saw joy in fortunes pier. I also thought it was weird you couldn't say bye. The next two times I won thi...

Who are these japanese insiders you're speaking too??

(Hopefully not the ones who gave you that interesting information you posted when you first arrived here...)

No...but i'll be a little pissed. I wouldn't be mad, except they said it would be a SURPRISING update, so hopefully they have something to do with shenmue III. I'm not expecting a flat out announcement, just maybe a picture similar to the chi you men leaders.

The asia travel co woman is hot!!!

And miles, i've been looking for this manube guy, I can't find him. Is there a certain time he is standing there?

I think the first game was 5-7 days. The 2nd one took me 6. 7/26/03 to 7/31/03 I wish I remembered an exact date for the first one, but oh well. Now I beat shenmue 1 in about 2 weeks. (it'll be quicker this time because of the holidays) Shenmue 2 takes me about a week. I go throught the second one f...

Wow, thanks Kiyuu!!! I always wanted to go see yokosuka since playing shenmue, but I was a little worried that since shenmue is really 15 years before now it would be different. But they're actually really close...these are pretty recent pictures right? And about the pictures with Ryo's front gate, ...
