He even goes on mention the stupid Ragdoll physics, first explaining what that is(so we do know, he knows what that is), and then agrees that such is goofy/unfitting for a Shenmue game, so he's going to edit the mechanic.
Yeah, because you know better for sure.
I'm honestly shocked by the low faith of some fans...
Yu Suzuki will deliver what he feels is the best to deliver in the form he thinks fits better. Period.
Good if he listens to fans requests but for god sake, leave him with HIS VISION and trust him.
He didn't give up on Shenmue for 14 (!!!) years, that's enough to deserve some respect.
He's flip flopping all over the place, with the fighting system, first he says he's going to not worry about real physics, and just make characters go flying in a "cool" way, then you have Ragdoll Physics listsed as a stretch goal, which is the exact opposite of cool, and now he's criticizing a bad mechanic he listed, saying such Isn't realistic/Isn't fitting for a Shenmue game.
Yu has clearly no comprehensible plans when it comes to the fighting system, other then having a skill tree, it sounds like nothing more then him making random stuff up while he goes. How are people suppose to have faith in that?
Luckily there's a lot more to a Shenmue game, then the fighting system, but still.
To Yokosuka It would've been pretty creepy for Ryo to go through Xuiying's things. If it wasn't due to all the high rises in Kowloon, and how you can go into each room, yet there being nothing to find/interact in such, it wouldn't have gave such a impression.
However, yea one can only hope that's what he meant, he didn't say much of anything revolving such at all, so his statement was very vague to say the least, but sounded really bad.
Yu needs to get out of the mindset of a damn coder, and remember he's a game "Designer, and Director". His focus should be on creating a quality game, that's a actual Shenmue game, not on trying to challenge himself.
