Okay, this is another "unsolved mystery" of Shenmue. I just can't figure out how to get this obscure scene where Fuku-san is coming down into the basement and gives Ryo some tips.
I'm currently going for a complete notebook and the quest to find the Phoenix mirror is really irritating around that time. There are two entries that are supposed to appear when you take 2 hours each while searching the Dojo. They didn't appear when I tried and since even the notebook guide is unsure how to get these I kinda gave up on them and moved into the basement where more of that waiting is supposed to give notebook entries. Since there's actually a screenshot of Fuku-san in the basement in Prima's official guide I had to try this one out no matter what, since I've never seen that!
Well, I had no luck and I have no idea how to make Fuku-san come down there. I tried looking at everything besides the things that give notebook entries and a lot of waiting until Ryo went to bed. I reloaded and tried again, this time just standing around the basement until 4 a.m. That's doing nothing for 19 hours!
How do you get all those entries and especially the scene with Fuku-san? Are there any prerequisites before starting to search for the mirror? Seems there have to be some or the game would simply give the scenes when you take too long while trying to figure things out.
