Yeah, I did find that a bit strange too, that apparently extra stuff for Bailu Village isn't much of a priority - but this may just be the way the story is structured. As you say, it may end up being the 'Dobuita' of this game. And to be honest, I'd be fine with that :) Just got to wait and see I su...

Yeah, some of the changes are so spectacularly pointless that it'd make sense that they may have been using an older version as a reference. I remember looking at your site back in the day and just thinking, why in god's name did they change half of this stuff

Hey it's you! Good to see you posting again And you're welcome ^_^

I have scans of the character profile pages from the 'Shenmue II Perfect Guidebook' (which were all translated for my database project), which you can download here; https://www.dropbox.com/s/x963i8zekunixte/Shenmue%20II%20Perfect%20Guidebook%20Scans.rar?m I don't own the book myself but receieved t...

He seems to be an awesome dude. Loved the way he kind of "hosted" the Twitch last night. Edit: I didn't notice that a lot of these NPCs were actually staff members. What's Takeuchi's name in the game again? Is it still Takeuchi? That architect dude was in Shenmue 1 too. Yep, the character...

Fuck yeah! This has seriously gained momentum towards the end

That's just artwork from Shenmue I though isn't it? (Ryo, I mean)

I may end up playing it with a friend of mine I haven't seen in years, he used to post here as 'Milkybarkid' years ago (as he does indeed look a bit like of him) - may be a good excuse for a reunion :P I'll more than likely be playing by myself the first time through. My best friend posted here bac...

Huh, I never knew Ryo's bag was based on an actual product as well.

I have no expectations after hitting 5 million. I am just sitting back now, beaming with happiness, and enjoying the ride to the finish. Agreed, I was starting to get worried we wouldn't hit 5mil, but so pleased we now have :mrgreen: Can't wait to play as Ren and Shenhua!!! :D :D Is that what the c...

I have a boyfriend, but he's not much of a gamer :P He's seen how giddy I got when it was announced though, and has heard me witter on about Shenmue before :P He also watched a bit of me playing Shenmue 1 when I replayed it over the past couple of weeks. I think he kind of 'gets it', seeming to be i...

It's an underwhelming 'trailer', for sure, but as people have said, I don't think there's a whole lot else they can show right now. Although IIRC, Yu said gameplay footage of the final build won't be shown until 2017, so could mean we will still see beta footage/screens before then? (as with the fir...

Wow, that's pretty beautiful.
I thought there'd be significance to the fact the date is the day before the bad ending, though...or I may just be too obsessive a fan

This is why you save the game before you gamble
