After the gamescom trailer Ys team wanted to show the audience and fans that the characters have indeed (different) face animations? Well, they proved their point. But when it comes to quality of animations they doesn't look really great neither by current standards. When you see the old women talk her upper face looks dead except blinking of the eyes. As "OL" said it is what it is: Kickstarter compaign and still in development. So no worries here. Lets wait and see.

"Leniency"? No offense, but that was sound so childishly patronising. He voiced his opinion on a public forum.
You can't condone people for expecting professional standards, regardless of it being a crowdfunded project or not. More than graphics and details, it's a directing issue. There's enough of a budget for a shorter, story-rich experience, one in which the standards of realism and environment of the original instalments wouldn't need sacrificing. People are fooling themselves too, if they believe this is "merely developmental", "that it's a WIP and there's still one whole year to go". I mean, technically, it is but it's not like the animations will turn fucking stellar from this point on, now is it?

Q) There were a lot of critical responses for the Shenmue 3 teaser. What would you tell the people who feel disappointed?
A) We don't have any facial expressions in the game right now and none of the character models are final yet. So it will look different and better in the final game. The teaser is not representing the quality of the final game, we are still in the middle of developing. And of course you have to remember the budget. The budget is good enough for our game, but it's pretty small if you compare it to other games right now. We can't keep up with big modern games. We would need a way bigger budget (ten times bigger than now) to make perfect modern graphics. So we need to find a good middle way between good graphics and good content. Please don't expect high-end graphics, Shenmue 3 is not about that.
Q) You said that Shenmue 3 will be bigger than you thought at first?
A) Yes, the game will probably be three times as big as I had in mind at the beginning. One of the villages has over 200 residents now instead of just 50. This village alone is five times bigger than I had in mind.
Q) But still - Shenmue 3 hasn't the same budget as 1 or 2. What do you have to change in the game because of that?
A) The story is still intact but I had to adjust some of the extra elements and details. We talked about the 200 people in that village - maybe we will even have 400 in the end, I haven't decided yet. You have to remember that all the city/village residents in 1 & 2 had a "real" simulated life - that's a really complicated and tough task and the budget for Shenmue 3 is probably not big enough to do that again.
