Very interesting interview. I like how Yu Suzuki said that his favorite part of the game is hidden in the later part of the story. They better make Shenmue III for god sake.

Sounds like Yu Suzuki still hasn't given up on Shenmue III.

This is an excellent interview, especially considering how little time was available. Some great nuggets of information. Big thanks to Kenji & Ziming.

Loved it. Glad to get some answers. Also was right about there being no fight between Landi & Ryo. I still also believe Lan-Di isn't evil as some want to think. (also think he is a puppet)

Excellent interview, the questions were very interesting and I couldn't help but shout out Shenmue III when Suzuki-san said that his favorite part is yet to be seen!

I am really glad you appreciate the interview even if I would have wanted to obtain more precise information on the screenplay.

I want to deeply thank el_clown and his awesome staff for having kindly helped me to have a professional sound device and for having supported me with a second camera. Thank you my friends !
And also a great thank to Kiyuu to have assisted me to understand the point of one of the answers I couldn't understand in japanese !
(and big thanks to Shendream, Trent, Ziming, Shenmue Dojo and all of you the fans who keep Shenmue alive even 10 years after his last release)

I think that Yu Suzuki would have never responded what he answered at my last question if he was not THAT confident about making Shenmue III one day (notice how he looked at me after telling me such things, his eyes, his mouth... as if he wanted to legitimate our long wait/expectation)

Thank you so much Kenji-kun!!!! What an interview!
That was one of the best Yu Suzuki interviews yet! That was emotional.
"we can get the licence from Sega"!!!!!!!!!!! He looked very confident.

Big up to you and El Clown for being such great, proactive Shenmue fans!

So I guess it's pretty much definitive that the man next to Iwao Hazuki is Lan Di's father?

They featured this video in the news section of Eurogamer. Good to see get a bit of attention on a pretty well respected gaming site.
