Contradictions?
Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2018 6:25 am
I love the Shenmue games, my favourite games of all time, but I've noticed what I think are contradictions in both games and I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on them for me.
1. In Shenmue 1, Master Chen says Iwao and Yuanda Zhu brought back a mirror from China. However, in Shenmue 2, Yuanda Zhu says Iwao alone brought both mirrors back.
2. In Shenmue 1, Ryo says, with resignation, 'I can't believe my father killed someone'. However, in Shenmue 2, when told by Yuanda Zhu that Iwao killed Lan Di's father, he reacts with horror.
3. In Shenmue 1, Chai tells Ryo that Lan Di hates Yuanda Zhu. However, in Shenmue 2, when Lan Di is on the ladder of the helicopter and has the chance to kidnap Yuanda Zhu, he doesn't. This, perhaps, is not a contradiction but a seeming hole in the story.
There may be others that I can't think of right now but I will post them if I think of them.
PS: If there is already a thread on this, could a member kindly post a link?
