Personally, I like to pretend that Shenmue Online was never a thing. Can't even remember what Ryo looked like there (and thank God for that, as I'm trying to erase that game from my brain).

Same here. So glad Shenmue Online never actually got released. Having Shenmue shoehorned into an MMORPG always seemd ridiculous to me.

As much as I hate even just the idea of Shenmue Online one can't deny that they did a really good job with Ryo's look for the CG trailer. In a way they nailed it quite a bit better than Shenmue III currently does. But if you look at Shenhua, she does look very different yet again. I wonder if they're just never happy with the way she looks.

Mystere wrote: The Ryo model in the Shenmue Online trailer was and is the best Ryo model, hands down. It personified every Ryo promo image to a tee. It improved upon the Dreamcast models while retaining Ryo's features, and could easily fit into Shenmue III's universe even with its quirky art direction.

The suggestion that the current SIII model is acceptable is laughable. And justifying its limited resemblance to the Ryo we know, with arguments that are essentially "Modern 3D graphics make it hard to model!!!" is equally laughable.

It is my hope that SIII's Gamescom footage reveals these to be old models and we get something that actually looks like Ryo Hazuki.


Yes! I absolutely agree. The Shenmue Online Ryo is the one that they should absolutely aim for. I really, really hope that Yu Suzuki is at least aware of this version.

I uploaded an image of the Shenmue Online Ryo if you want to refresh your memory and see how he looks!

Why not? I mean I also agree that Shenmue Online was a terrible idea but in the trailer, there were a lot of great things. One of them being the model of Ryo Hazuki.

Remember when everyone was universally wowed by Nocon Kid’s awesome remaster?
Had the Shenmue 3 team used a similar Ryo, this debate would be nonexistent.

It’s especially frustrating knowing that he’s on the team, and yet they’re choosing to go in a completely different direction…which is nowhere near ‘there’ yet.

Now THAT is the perfect Ryo. Identical to the SO Ryo and the same one used on the Slacker Backer site. =D>

But he never looked like that in the games. This is a game, not a tech demo like passport or a piece of promotional art. I don't want Ryo to look like that in-game.

I do. A lot of other people do. The new model does look indian. I think very few people saw it and went "wow, that's Ryo." The new model is inferior. But hey, not like us bitching here will change anything. The model will be what it will be. And I will play the game regardless.

It wasn't a "Rick Roll" post so stop pretending. Also, for a mod, you tend to stray a bit.

You can deny Shenmue Online AND respect the awesome work of the Ryo's charadesign team.
