"I was really moved.
I feel everyone's sentiments and anticipation very strongly.
The Kickstarter campaign now has less than a week remaining.
In order to get even a little closer to bringing about these wishes, please continue to give your support."

Any chance of translating this mornings live interview with you suzuki which was all in Japanese? The translation in the other thread seemed incomplete.

A more detailed version (transcription) is in progress at the moment so we can make a version of the video with English subtitles.

Update: completed and available here.

I think its only storyboards for the KS Promo vid. Sorry about quality, depth of field was all over the place. Would be a nice bit of trivia for the Concept Art thread though! Thanks

Here's what I've been able to read from the images of the script.

2) The pair of figures become more distinct.
The sound of their voices gradually gets louder.

The camera passes Ryo and zooms in on Shenhua.

4) Shenhua: "Ryo, can you jump across?"

Alright, something that might be more interesting?



From the interview with the scriptwriter.

The red bit is another piece of handwriting that was added after, in roughly the same place. The bottom half is blurred, but might be more readable if you watch the video in HD?

The labels on the diagram are readable but it's pretty tough to make out anything in the blurry text underneath. Anyway, here's the diagram:


Interesting that the word "promise" links Ryo and Shenhua together.

Updated:
- added "maternal instinct". Thanks to Rakim
- added "life's"
- added numbers in the text below (thx NeoShredder!) and "Currently" --> changed to "be accomplished" after reviewing

It also looks like it might say 母性(maternal instinct) under shenhua, which would be really interesting.

Yes, I think you could be right!

The word in the box before that might be "人生の" (life's...), possibly connecting to the circled word underneath it.

I've added these to the image.

Interesting stuff!

If you guys want to make a real go of it, here's the video within a frame by frame webapp that I've used:

EDIT: Also, there's obviously those roman numerals just under his hand on the left...chapters?



I can see at least "2,4,5,6,7"

No three....

Can anyone provide accurate translation to the parts in the last stream where they talk about:

- The talk about Suzuki's vision and approach to Shenmue 3 ( 2:05:58 )
- The talk about Chobou and other stretch goals ( 1:48:20 )

Updated on the image! And the word before them is "Currently".

If we decipher a few words every day maybe we'll get the full text eventually

phpBB [video]

I've added English translation captions for Yu Suzuki's speech at these parts of the video:

7:17 Nocon Kid
1:49:16 Shenmue III new features (Chobou and other stretch goals )
2:05:38 Making a game with the fans (Suzuki's vision and approach to Shenmue 3 etc)

I think it helps make a few small details clearer compared to the original interpretation.

Thanks for the translation, Switch.

The battle system sounds fundamentally different than the FREE battle system we all know and love. You defeat bosses by linking together technique scrolls? I don't like the sound of that. But it's unfair to judge it before seeing it.

Okay because its interesting stuff i've tried to CSI the screens but it's Japanese script I have no idea what i'm looking at to enhance properly! Can you at least tell me if i'm going in the right direction?
