Tell her that is something you have waited for 14 years.

Then create a fake sad anecdote that happened while you played the game (your dog died or something).

With a massive donation like that, you could always get married in Japan and gate crash the dinner, i'm sure you'd both be extremely welcomed :D

I always liked this video here in terms of showing some of the stuff Shenmue means and also what it has achieved to express.

EDIT: Neoshredder put that on page 1 already. Then I'll give you this video.

Tell her is she ever wants to become your wife, she better cough up the dough.

No, but seriously, I have no idea. This sounds like the trolliest thing I've read here. But if you're genuine, I guess just ask...

Tell her its very personal for you and transcends gaming. Which, for most of us, it does. 14 years of heart break is coming to an end and you want to see it's potential fulfilled. Good luck :)

Best thing you can do is ask her for a donation that's big enough for the campaign, but a drop in the bucket for her.

10k maybe?

Here's the situation.

I have already pledged 300 bucks to the kickstarter. My fiance however is extremely wealthy. Not getting into specifics but she is worth millions. I really want to ask for her help. Yet I have no idea how to even begin to explain the importance of this series to her. I'm afraid I'll get "it's just a video game" answer. What the hell do I do? Should I try lucky hit or what? Don't get your hopes up for a million dollar donation but she has helped me in the past with paying off debts. So I need advice.


Perhaps even make her fall in love with the games like you once did!

How about showing her the game or some videos of Shenmue on youtube?

It might even inspire her to show her Shenmue-Dojo and the community it has!

What's the point of this topic... just come back if you have the money. Otherwise, I don't care.

Well with a good credit card i guess... The amount you pledge is defined by yourself.
