Though much like your last vid the only thing baffles me is when you said "the worst case scenario wouldn't be if they didn't make Shenmue 3, it would be if they released a Shenmue 3 without the ability to continue a save from Shenmue 2". It's probably one of the most incidental features in the series, nothing much of any consequence will come from it. Shenmue 1 and 2 are fairly linear games with no signicant branching paths or moral choices to be carried into Shenmue 3. Sacrificing your completionist inventory would surely be a most small consion to make?

That would certainly be a cool feature, but it's far from essential. Just because it was once the plan to base a turning point in the story on something you did in Shenmue 1 & 2, doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Even if the series had been completed on Dreamcast as planned, there's no way they could have relied on all players having saves carried over from previous games. There'll have always been a default scenario that was good enough to warrant playing without a ported save. So if it was good enough then, it's good enough now. Not ideal perhaps, but certainly not a deal breaker if it were to become the only way of playing Shenmue 3.
Actually I believe I said "worse case scenario, other than them just not making Shenmue III, would be if they released a Shenmue III without the ability to transfer your save from Shenmue II.
The feature isn't required for the game to function obviously, but the game becomes a far superior experience.
The brilliance of it is how subtle those impacts are.
