The spoiler really isn't that major for those curious but afraid to look. It won't ruin anything for you, unless you're trying to completely black out.

I don't know what it is but yeah, I expect to see that "thing" in the official marketing anyway, like the old times with Dreamcast magazines.

I watched the whole video didn't find the spoilers to be giving too much away just like TwiceFriedRice said.

OK, I've formatted up all the English subtitles from the video into Q&A style.

It's pretty long though - about 13 screens of text.

What's a good way to post up something this big? (Of course, it will have spoiler tags around the plot-related spoiler).

there was a returning character spoiler a little later in the video (when they answer fan questions), but i think someone revealed it in another thread so maybe its general knowledge now?

The_Intruder wrote: Who is the guy Yu Suzuki talks about that moved to Japan after playing Shenmue and met a girl named Nozomi and marry her?


when he talked about the person who learned japanese from playing i think he was referring to Ryan Payton, who said this in his first interview. that seemed to flow directly into talking about the person moving to japan and marrying nozomi, so maybe thats Ryan too.

he said the train scene chapter were cut but i wonder if the project berkley scene of ryo hanging from the side of train is part of these of whether that occurs even later.

i wonder whether Suzuki will release the full scenario novelization after the shenmue saga is complete. it will be interesting to read about what the original order of events were, and what was eventually cut.

The full transcript, taken from the subtitles of the video, is now available as a document for reading.

Sample snippet:
J: I'd like to move on to your latest game that has been announced: Shenmue III.
YS: Sure.
J: Could you tell us about what led to it being revived - What was behind this decision, in terms of reasons and timing?
YS: Well... it has been about 14 years since Shenmue II and during this period I have had the chance to speak overseas fairly regularly. And pretty much every time I went, I would get asked questions such as when Shenmue III would be released. In fact about 80% of the questions I get asked relate to Shenmue; about 10% on the Virtua series; and the rest are about my other games. So the majority is overwhelmingly about Shenmue.
J: Oh, even more than the Virtua series.
YS: That's right. So, a lot of questions have focused on Shenmue and for the past 10 years, each year around March/April, rumors reach me that Shenmue III is going to be released. Whenever I used to hear that, I would say to myself "I wonder who's going to be releasing it" [laughing]

One small part of the video had been bothering me, specifically at the point when Yu reveals a small plot spoiler.

There's actually more than one way that a certain word could be translated. And after thinking about it, there's an alternative translation that seems appropriate. Details as follows.

*** Only show this if you want to reveal a plot spoiler!
Old: Shenhua's parents have been abducted by the Chiyoumen
New: Shenhua's father has been abducted by the Chiyoumen

The Japanese word Yu says ( 親) can mean any one of parent/parents/father/mother, but I think "father" is probably the right choice here, given that her step-father went missing from the quarry at the end of Shenmue II. It seems more likely to be referring to him than to her birth parents.

I agree with your comment in the spoilers Switch.

Don't want to say too much but it makes a lot more sense and ties in with some existing theories.
