Spanish native speaker here. Some interesting things that appear in that interview:

- Yu Suzuki is thinking in changing hairstyle and clothes for characters.

- With 5 millions reached he wants to include some strategy elements from the Warring States, a period of the Chinese history. He mentions that these strategies represent the states. Doesn't want to specify more to not spoil the surprise.

- No videogame company could satisfy what Yu Suzuki needed to do the game.

- Yu hasn't talked with Sega yet about including arcade games from their library.

- The interviewer mentions that ""we know Ren is appearing in Shenmue 3... will other characters appear?", to which Yu Suzuki answers that the story will be centered in new characters, and you could call them by phone. One of the photos says "Ren Wuying will have a lot of protagonism in Shenmue 3..." This does not either confirm or deny that Ren will indeed appear, so take that with a grain of salt.

- Basic scenarios for the entire story are more or less fixed. As he releases the games, he will adjust the 11 chapters accordingly.

- Yu Suzuki wants to have the demo out by the second half of the development. That is, after 2017 has started.
