Doing something nice for Shenmue III team

[FlagshipFighter]

I think it's our lucky day:



If that's their address right there, we now know exactly where to send the card

[Himuro]

Yeap. I saw that too.

[Let's Get Sweaty]

It's on their website anyway.

How about we send a variety of gifts for the other team members? We know who some of them are, and I think gifts based on their specific roles would be quite nice

[Sonoshee]

Now what is in that package I wonder...

I'm also willing to help out with anything that is planned, I think it's a very nice thoughtful thing to do! Whilst i'm sure the team are aware of how grateful all the fans are, it's like with anything in life, when someone buys you a gift, or thinks of you, even a card, it makes you smile...it's a nice thing to do for the team to express appreciation in more ways than just the initial funding

This week we are going to get organized on doing something. We need to have this in Japan by the time E3 starts.

I assume part of the care package will be a nice group message of encouragement to the team?

Uh...yeah? That's the entire point.

[Spaghetti]

Uh...yeah? That's the entire point.

I had the impression there would be something else we'd include, but maybe I'm just remembering the original details incorrectly.

Either way I'm all for it.

As another said, the money raised and or earned as profit is enough in a monetary sense. I am not here to argue, it is what it is. I mean you do not go to Mc Donalds and give them a fruit basket or even a card. They get paid for what they do. Although I always thank them and wish them a good day.

However, this is a bit different. We as fans have been clamouring over a new Shenmue since forever and a "moral" boost would be nice! It shows we go beyond just wanting another game and that we actually care. I am not sure how many events like this has happened, where fans from around the world came together and got game developers to make another game that was potentially canceled, on the back burner or rights to said game made it stay in limbo!

-A card/email for sure is a good moral booster.

-A fruit basket would be nice...

-Flowers I suppose...

-How about a dozen (a few dozen?) pizzas?

-Pictures of cosplaying Shenmue or even a video (The later would be difficult because obviously a few of us would need to be able to get together. However as a funny side note, we could use some actors over and over again and or voices just as the games do.) Or just have the view of us speaking from behind another character's shoulder and pieced together, provided the back grounds were not too obviously different and jarring.

-A comic/manga or even a fan fic or individual drawn pictures (A Deviant Art website group would be good for that.)

-Pictures of us holding our original games in hand in "poses"

-Just simple personal letters or emails of how much we have enjoyed the games and have been wishing for another.

-Lastly, for now... If anyone is near their offices, dress up as Shenmue characters and go over there personally and act out scenes even asking for Lan Di. (And hopefully do not get arrested in the process... ) A band aid is cheap as well as jeans... Just need that jacket and get the hair right. (Or even deliver the pizzas, card, fruit basket, etc. yourselves dressed up.)

I think just a simple card with the a gift (fruit basket or drink or whatever) saying something like this gift is another way to say thank you from the fans (listing everyone who donated) would go down really well.

[Himuro]

Yeah, let's do that. Let's get to work on that card. How are we going to have it signed?

In my own personal opinion, someone who has met/has been in contact with the team/Yu Suzuki, should be the one to send it.

If its a card and stuff, we pool the cash, this person buys it, we send a list of all our names to be put in said card and they send it off.

Simple and bare-bones, but I think it would be effective enough. As for a fruit basket or something, we could get someone in Nippon to do that, pool cash and send money to them (Switch?) as it would be easier/more effective.

Sorry if my ideas are lame; not sure if its just Canada or the whole world, but customs has been unnecessarily cracking down on things and I find the only way you get something to reach it's destination, is if its from someone you know or its done internally, in the country (purchased multiple items in November and got them all in the past month. Even registered mail from Play-Asia {Ryu ga Gotoku 6}, was delayed 40 days. Insane).
