Didn't Shenhua state in Shenmue II that Bailu only had around 50 people? I can't remember if Yu has talked about the size of Bailu in any interviews.

JCE's Shenmue Online website from back then had a spot where you could download the beta. I'm not sure if you needed to be a verified beta tester or what, but all I find are broken links.

Hey, that's me!

Also, I got an email from SEGA today regarding Shenmue I & II...

Yeah, I am not looking forward to yet another Sonic cash in. If there was never another one released again, it would be too soon. Leave Sonic to Christian Whitehead (I'm only half kidding). Virtua FIghter 6 is overdue for an announcement. I'd also like the VO localization, and also would like Border...

I would hope they would add more. I can't wait for this to release. I like the one about saying goodbye, I would think that has to do with saying goodbye to all of the available people in Hong Kong before leaving for Kowloon (Guixiang, Jianmin, etc.).

There was an open beta in Korea. There are pictures of it floating around. I can post some if anyone wants to see them. I think if it was released as a definite side game, not continuing the story and instead being just based on it, I would love to play it. I still would love to play it, and wanted ...

Haruki Satomi seems to really be taking things in a great direction for SEGA. I believe this Road To 2020 initiative will lead to many more great announcements.

Article also states that Nagoshi confirms there will be no cut content.

A lot: "As I'm the general director of Shenmue Online, I make a decision on everything. I'd like to create a game that satisfies myself, otherwise the players wouldn't be satisfied. I trust my team, and if we take sufficient time, our ideal work will be completed." ~Yu Suzuki~ http://shenm...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIub0Ok5zQs So I was digging around the internet, and found some gameplay footage from Shenmue Online that I had never seen before. I thought it was the TGS 2005 footage, but it is different. Apparently, this is from T2 Technology Holdings' 2005 strategic conference ...

I wonder if all of the guide books from both Japan and the US/EU will be reprinted with slight updates or totally redone and reprinted. And of course, would love to see new merch.

Thank you!

I am still planning on visiting Yokosuka someday.

The Yellowhead Building rooftop scene is the best scene in the series so far, in my opinion, so it has to be Kowloon. I think if you go by the 16 chapter story as MTT3NZ mentioned above, I believe Kowloon would be the 4th chapter. Though I like Shenmue I better than Shenmue II simply because it feel...
