I'm so confused. The reddit with all the questions seems to have no answers and the seemingly fake reddit with only 3 questions is the only one that appears to have a legit Yu Suzuk answer...

My goodness, this is gonna take a looong time. So cluttered already and Suzuki needs his answers translated. Reddit was not a good choice for this IMO.

Yup, i just refreshed the page and noticed. I imagine almost every backer is asking questions.

Our Shenmue Dojo questions are at the TOP. WOO HOO! GO DOJO

I have asked 2 questions. Please people post your permalinks to your questions here so we can upvote them for everybody.


About using the Shenmue Passport disc faces.

"Shenmue is based off of 11 chapters that make up the whole story. These past 14 years I have been planning 4 or 5 games that would encompass the whole series."

Some people wasting their time asking "where can I find sailors?" and "would you like to try a game of lucky hit?" lol. I would love to see his responses for these but why would you do that when you get real informative answers from him?

Then we had better pray to god Shenmue 3 is a success.

Maybe Yu Suzuki is actually Jet Lagging from Japan time, and that's why he is doing it at this hour? and it's not a bad time in Europe after all, almost 7am.

I am so sick and tired of the sailors jokes. Not funny. Go away. Also, with your Space Harrier and OutRun questions. Leave, please! This is Shenmue time.

OMG!!!! SUZUKI-SAN REPLIED TO ME!!!!

Will Shenmue III enable PayPal or a means to donate to the project when the Kickstarter ends? Projects like Star Citizen gained tens of millions in donations by allowing this.


Suzuki:I am still thinking about it, but have not decided yet.

Well that's good news. There's absolutely no downside in doing so and could help a lot.

Hope he didn't misunderstand and think the question was asing if PayPal was a general option for Kickstarter NOW

How accurately will Shenmue III be compared to your original vision of the game or will there be major compromises?

Suzuki: There are a total of 11 chapters that make up the whole story. Over the past 14 years I originally planned for there to 4 or five games to the series. If at all possible, I would still like to realize the full story of 11 chapters.

He didn't really answer the question.
