I think I know how Shenmue III starts

[white lotus]

Ya know that picture where Landi kidnaps shenhua or whatever? Well it seems that its in a CAVE. At the end of Shenmue II, there is a CAVE, So i put 2 and 2 together and came up with this theory....Lan Di kinaps Shen Hua at the beginning...because the Shenmue series is mainly a one manned adventure (except for Ren, Shenhua, etc)

Ya know what dude! I've been thinkin' about that for a long time! But I think Lan Di's gonna go in their, Ryo's gonna fight his guards, but get beatin' down, LAn Di puts the DRAGON MIRROR in the slot thingy and steals the treasure. Thats my theory.

[Bluecast]

..........no

I think the whole thing starts with SEGA getting off their arses and do something productive!

[PILMAN]

Ryo and shenhua have been in that cave for quite a while, my prediction is maybe ryo got lonely and finally found a girlfriend! Now that's how shenmue III should start.

No your wrong. If you look in the project berkley video.. Lan Di is NOT kidnapping Shenhua in a cave. He is pushing her against the wall in some temple. The other footage shows two men (not Lan Di) grabbing her at the Shaolin Temple in Luoyang.

Yep, that's gotta be the Shaolin Temple.. Has almost the same layout. See the stairs even back there. It also makes sense because there is a train near the Shaolin Temple.. Tah dah, Ryo jumping on the train.

[Atlantean]

Yup, Shenhua will be kidnaped, no doubt about it, unless they change the story. Which I doubt it will happen.

[FeelinLuckyPUNK]

You stole my theory lol

I think Shen hua is captured it the temple with Lan Di and the Shaolin temple is where Ryo finally tracks her down but he escapes on a train...

[k]

that looks like a train to me

[Dim-Mak]

Sounds kind of corny and redundant. Didn't that happen in the first one?

It's going to start with Ryo leaving the cave and arriving in Bailu village then going to a big city. Aw hell I don't.

[TEEPO™]

I always thought that it will begin with Gui Zhang searching for Ryo.

[sex machiene]

i hope it doesn't start like this but i think it will. i think our first "mission" will be to find shenhuas dad and then ryo will think shenhuas dad will lead him to lan di which it might... then u spend the entire game with shenhua by ur side looking for some dad and then theres a fight scene at the end with ren and lan di and guizang and ....BIG Z. maybe shenhua at the end..

(i hope it doesn't turn out like this xcept for that last fight scene of course)
