Re: Chi you men boss of the bosses??

just to be clearer what i am asking is:

are there 4 main bosses - north (tentei), south (niao sun) east (Lan di) and west (ziming)

or

is tentei seperate from the compass direction bosses (5 overall bosses) leaving northern boss as complete mystery apart from the his silhouete in that one image released by dev team.
Apparently, Tentei, the Emperor of Heaven, is not one of the Four leaders. There seems to be some variations in Chinese mythology, but you can get a rough idea from this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Symbols_(China)

Tentei is the Yellow Dragon of the Center. Remember the Yellow Head building in Kowloon is surrounded by the other four "compass direction" buildings.

Re: Chi you men boss of the bosses??

Thanks for further info on the four symbols, Kiyuu. I didn't know yet that the center is a yellow dragon and that even that matches up with the building in Kowloon. But yeah, Tentei is definately the boss above the other four bosses and I'm sure that's what Yu Suzuki ment with his gesture.
You're quite welcome!

We've talked about Tentei repeatedly in the past, just like you see in the following topic:

Re: Chi you men boss of the bosses??

thanks for the clarification kiyuu.
It's my pleasure! :D

i have another question but again i don't want to start a new topic- maybe you could help me since you know japanese.

not sure whether its ever been discussed, its regarding the bad ending of shen 2

in the english subtitled version lan di says to shenhua ' i will take your power for the CHIYOUMEN'
but in the english spoken version land di says ' i will take your power for the CHIYOU'

wonder if it was a translation error.

i suppose chiyou makes more sense since we know that its a some kind of supernatural entity. but then again the chiyoumen leaders (at least some of them) might have minor supernatural powers.

some might see this as only minor importance, since to empower the chiyou is equivalent of empowering the chiyoumen. anyway a clarification would be great.
Lan Di clearly says "Shiyuu" in Japanese, which means Chiyou, not Chiyoumen. Translation error, most likely.

Re: Say Hello to Mr. Yukawa at Takara Sushi!!

Now I'm at the day after Nozomi called Ryo out on the phone, it's past 11 and I go to the Yokosuka Bar with both figures of him but he isn't there... What's wrong here?
You can meet Mr. Yukawa in the bar on the next day after the "Nozomi's Confession" at the park. And, that will not happen on Disc one. Good luck!

Re: Say Hello to Mr. Yukawa at Takara Sushi!!

@Kiyuu: I'm at that very day, that's what I meant to say. The day automatically ends after the scene with Nozomi so it has to be the next day anyway. But I'm confused. NOT on Disc 1? But the Nozomi scene can only happen on that disc, after you've translated the letter. Wait! Does that mean you have to quickly get to the harbor the same day and then go into the Bar that night?

If I undestand this correctly now, you can spot him during the first step of the "friends come over" scene and then if you go into the Yokosuka Bar again after 11 pm once more. But only if you go to the harbor the same day you translate the letter?
"Nozomi's confession" can be triggered on Disc 2 all right. Now I don't remember how I did it exactly, but you don't need to rush like that. Why don't you go to the harbor and come back without entering the Warehouse No. 8? Then, wait for the call from Nozomi and enjoy the date. It's fun to see Goro helping you sneak into the Warehouse when you go back to the harbor on the next day. Then, come back without trying to sneak into the Old Warehouse No. 8, and go to the Bar after 11 pm. I hope this will work.

Re: Ren, killed by Ryo's hands?

well done for matching the statue with the one from akira/pai's stage in virtua fighter 2. does anyone know what it is? seems that it must be quite a significant object to depict it.
Apparently, that's the Iron Lion Statue in Cangzhou.

Re: Yokosuka Photo Tour

1. Is that real life house actually based on Ryo's home?, because it looks almost exactly the same.

2. Who currently lives in that home, someone famous, or some normal guy, because I wonder what he thinks that his home is accurately modeled in a video game.

3. Did Yu Suzuki know the guy living in that house at the time to recreate it, or he just randomly chose a house to put in his game without permission? lol
You mean that dojo-look-alike building by "that real life house," don't you?
Actually, that is an average temple that you can find almost anywhere in Japan. Apparently, it's not really a residence, but the main sanctuary of a temple where the priest(s) perform(s) sutra services. That entrance, too, is an average gate of a temple. Remember that Hazuki residence once was a temple.

Once you were able to access the huge database of Shenmue Passport while you were online.

In the "Shenmue World" section, you were able to view the detailed description of every place in Shenmue.

Re: Yokosuka Photo Tour

Well then my question still pertains to that residence since the set up is all to alike if you count how it features a dojo and all.
Do you realize those pictures are a compilation of random pictures found on the web? Read what the topic creator says once again:

I've collected them from Panaramio, the website used in this feature, and arranged them in a similar way as presented in the game. The captions I use are my own interpretation of what it looks like and not necessarily what it actually is.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to identify the Dojo-look-alike temple in the first picture. But, the building in the 2nd and the 3rd picture was identified. It's called Kaisyun-in, again not a residence, but a temple. See the wooden box on the top of the stairs. That's a "saisen-bako (offertory box)" for the worship-visitors.
Also, the gate belongs to another temple, Seirai-an. Both Kaisyun-in and Seirai-an are surrounding Kenchoji , one of the most famous temples in Japan. They are scattered in huge remote area.
Anyway, there's no picture of a "residence" in the compilation, other than the plain small houses along the streets.

Re: Unused ambient sound (Japanese radio/tv broadcast?)

The one on the telephone is way different though, works like a dialogue, right?
Maybe they originally intended to use this instead? Though the choice of packing it into as ambient sound is strange.
I had Ryo call 177. Yes, the phone voice was recorded by a woman and much clearer, though it's not a dialogue kind. Also, this muffled man's forecast covers much wider area than the phone's which covers only Kanagawa prefecture.
It's rather for the radio. If it's sorted as "ambient sound," they were planning to use it as background sound in some restaurant, maybe?

It sounds like something that's supposed to come out of a radio or TV, like a weather report or commercial where someone is talking in Japanese. It's really low quality and hard to understand but maybe someone here can make out what the guy says?

Chapter 2: the battle with Chai on the boat

http://shenmuedojo.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/am2_4~0.jpg

As you see in the sidestory comics, there was a chapter between Yokosuka and Hong Kong.

http://shenmuedojo.net/new/story/sidestorycomics.html

It seems few people here know about that chapter, I decided to give you this translation.
In the Dori-Maga, formerly the Dreamcast Magazine, issued on Sept. 7, 2001,
there's this interview with Yu Suzuki and voice actors of Ryo, Ren and Shenhua.
Among the interview, Yu-san and Masaya Matsukaze, the voice and motion actor of Ryo
were talking about the missing chapter on the boat. And Takumi Hagiwara, the Ren's
voice and motion actor adds some comments on the scenes that were cut eventually.

BTW, the interview was held on the completion of Shenmue II.
Remember the releasing date of Shenmue II in Japan was Sept. 6, 2001.


Q : I heard there used to be "Chapter 2 - the Boat" between "Chapter 1 - Yokosuka" and
"Shenmue II," but actually, II begins with the scene Ryo disembarks from the boat.
There, the mother with a girl mentions something on the boat, doesn't she?

Yu-san : Yes. "Chapter 2 - the Boat" included in the original scenario has disappeared
completely.
Masaya : Yeah, that's right. The Boat! In fact, Chai reappears. He's survived being
knocked off into the sea at Yokosuka harbor, and fights with Ryo as an unseen opponent
on the boat. There was a scenario like that.

Q : Was the scene shot?

Masaya : Yes! We shot it pretty flamboyantly. In fact, some people Ryo meets on
the boat were supposed to see him again in the later scenario, saying like "ah, you're
the one on that boat...," and the story would expand from there.
Yu-san : Confronting Chai was a nice situation. We've finished the designs of the boat
completely, including the height of the deck, the length of the rails, and every thing.
The escaping route was arranged, too. Some spectacular action scenes were planned
to be unfolded, you know.
Masaya : All the motions were captured, too. I opened the door of the cabin and then
the story went so theatrically!

Q : Then, you had to cut those scenes tearfully?

Yu-san : Well... I cut them rather plainly. "Impossible to fit? OK, cut it," just like that.

Q : There must be plenty of scenes that had to be cut eventually, or motions weren't
used. Especially, as the motions of Ren are really wonderful, I honestly wanted to see
them more.

Takumi : I guess there should be tons of them, if we include detailed motions, too.
We shot quite a lot of fighting scenes that were cut.


*Well, we surely miss that chapter, don't we? :?

Re: Looking for a video

I vaguely remember a cutscene made using in-game graphics that involves some sequence happening, but then it turns out to be a dream from one of the people working on the game. He's asleep and his head is resting on his hand with his elbow on a desk. Then his head slips off of his hand and he hits his head hard on the desk, which causes him to wake up. I don't know if the cutscene was actually in the original game, or part of a promo, or something, but I remember seeing it and now I can't find it. I tried looking at the shenmuedojo youtube but gave up because there are a billion videos. Help?

Re: Kickstarter Update #58 - Keiji Okayasu Returns for Shen

As for the subtitle: "Occasionally, there are even times when the mountains along the Li River bring misfortune..."

Could Shenhua be talking about the very same mountains found on the picture in her house???

Some connection there? If so, then it's theory time.
Actually, that line couldn't be said by Shenhua, but by some old man, probably. The line begins with "What? Hummm..." in Japanese, and the way of saying is an old man's. A young girl would never say like that.
Besides, she seems to be placed in a bit odd background; with a plastic bag-full of garbage and a beer case that would be found on a Japanese backstreet.

Apparently, that screen shot was not taken from a real game scene, but was composed for some experiment, I guess.

Re: Kickstarter Update 59 (I Guess, Haven't got the email ye

⋅ Note 1 is titled "MVN Development" with some notes underneath. One looks like it might say "fly". Aha! That makes sense. MVN Studio is the name of the software used to develop with Xsens, the 3D motion tracking technology being used in Shenmue III.
⋅ Note 2: looks like business contact details, having a phone number, the name of a shop, name of the contact and an email address.
⋅ Note 3: is a single word with the number 1 after it. Er... I hope it's not a password as that would be bad security practice! (I won't give it here just in case).

Here's my interpretation:

Note 1: First line - "MVNのドキュメント化" = MVN documentation?
Note 2: The name of the shop - " ハウスコム五反田店 " which is a real estate agent
Note 3: I don't remember seeing any PC-related password in ひらがな. It could be his personal shopping memo, when the 2nd note is apparently personal. " すだち " improves the taste of some Japanese dishes. ;-)
