Blood Type

Postby Spokane » Tue Nov 22, 2011 10:59 pm

On the profiles for the characters in the game, such as when you view a snapshot of someone on the Xbox version it tells you their info, including their blood type. An interesting tidbit I guess, but it serves no real function or purpose knowing the blood type of the characters in the game. Why do you think they included blood types on the character info?

I was wondering if it really had to do with something in the game, like maybe violence will become a big thing and blood donation will become a part of the game.

Or Shenmue 3 will be built into the Twilight series like you say.

Nah it was just Yu trying to make the series more detail with more immersion.

Kinda like how star trek builds this fictional universe of families and where they were born and such. Just makes the series more immersive.

Blood type is an essential topic in Japan as you see here:

Blood type horoscopes are pretty common. People talk about blood types all the time. ;-)

See, there is a reason afterall. I didn't know that.

Funny, I don't even think I know mine, I might have known it at one time but I forgot.

Want to say this but it's already explained.


Anyway, this info was in DC also. The Passport Disc used to have info about ALL CHARACTERS that appears in the game with all their names, blood types, ages and even a little story about them.

So sad... When passport was shutted down, all this info gone with the conexion of Shenmue Passport.

You probably don't know blood type affects people's temperament, same as zodiac sign. I studied and researched those quite a little, it was fun. I can say in Shenmue blood type and zodiac sign for the chars are quite accurate sometimes. :) Like Xiuying as type A and Fangmei as type B, this can't be reversed, or it would be weird.
