http://i.imgur.com/PH6ycgo.jpg I think she's meant to be the owner of the choubu inn. I'm getting serious Wendy Oldbag vibes from her https://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ldfoo4hX461qcl8ah.gif I'm really curious to know what Chai's role in the game is. I thought it would have been in a flashback but ...

http://i.imgur.com/OJWDQyo.jpg Does anyone know the name of the setting in this picture? I've heard people say Chobu (sp) and I've went along with that but I'm not entirely sure. I know Chai appears under the moon in this area so I'm particularly interested, since it's where he'll likely be introdu...

I'm probably really late on this but I just saw this image now. http://assets1.ignimgs.com/2016/12/15/shenmue-iii-2016-12-14-16-001-1481796914525_1280w.jpg (Pay close attention to the silhouette near the moon). His pose is similar to the one in his concept art https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/sh...

The muscle head fights Ryo in two different locations: outside Shenhua's house and here https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DHbNSOkXYAAbi8B.jpg His target seems to be Shenhua, as we see Ryo guarding her as muscly approaches her outside Shenhua's house. From this, I'm going to assume he's a chiyoumen member,...

20 hours of side-quests ?? Shenmue had some side stuff to do, and different ways to tackle certain points/investigations, not much sidequests per se (even the duck racing is mostly a secret than a sidequest). How do you think this side content will be implemented ? This is more wishful thinking on ...

I wonder if muscly is the Chai/Do Niu of this game. Ryo seems to fight him outside Shenhua's house, along with the walled area here

Seems like Shenhua has a target on her head from the off.

I have these spells where I completely detox myself from Shenmue. I might not think about the series for months, busy myself with other interests but I always gets reeled back in when I decide to replay one of the games for the billionth time. Each individual playthrough has a different focus; from ...

Correct me if I'm wrong but Yu spoke about Ryo's desire for revenge fading at some stage in the story. Now, there's a strong likelihood that Shenhua's father was killed. His absence from the stone pit, the north star flickering in the cave, the ominous letter he left for Shenhua in which he ...

Someone's been eating their carrots! Very nice find.

At least Chai's new model is an upgrade. http://i.imgur.com/ix1z5zU.jpg Which 100% highlights the absolute point of lighting in a game, which Suzuki-san toiled over as we have seen during the "making of" of Shenmue by NHK. I respect and tolerate a lot what is said on these boards, but whe...

My Shenmue dreams usually always involve Chai leaping on me from above, causing me to wake up in fear. :{

At least Chai's new model is an upgrade.

Graphical enhancements would be a nice bonus but all I want is the opportunity to have my progress from each game carry to the next. Capsule toys, scrolls, photos, moves, etc. I want to collect all of the boat capsule toys, I want the photo of Ryo and Nozomi where Ryo doesn't look pissed and I want ...

I wonder if Ryo will be faced with an impossible dilemma, one that tests his thirst for revenge. How far will he be willing to go in order to fulfill his wish? Would he be willing to kill for it? I'd love to see Ryo's resolve tested. I can Imagine a scenario where Niao Sun promises him a meeting wit...

I've been messing around with the map glitch in Shenmue 2. I managed to save myself the 2k entrance fee for the fight with Chunyan and I glitched my way out of the basement entrance to the yellow head building. Interestingly, Ren still follows Ryo. I went around Kowloon for a while with him. Oh and ...
