I pledged 'I am Shenmue' - 1500$ My aim is to send a picture made during a river trip between Guilin & Yangshuo, on the same kind of river boat Ryo is supposed to take in the Choubu waiting area... And I will ask the dev team if they can keep the background line made by Guilin mountains 8) My te...

I'm pretty sure it's been talked about somewhere else, and I thought it was in one of Yu's interview, or in the official talk when they discussed about what was exclusive to kickstarter and what was not... I believed that the idea was to send the game in another carton box to Paypal backers, since t...

I've been quite obsessed with Shenmue story for all those years. I'm usually passing by the dojo to talk about this only subject and when I traveled 1200km to Monaco to have the occasion to ask a question to Yu at Mags 2013 conference, I asked if he would end up releasing the story in an anime or no...

It's a F4F fan group, not F4F themselves...

People are usually mixing the two story sources. There is 1. the novel Yu wrote that has 11 chapters and is set since Virtua fighter quest RPG (around 1994), and then 2. the 16-chapters Shenmue scripts that were written by Kenji Miyakami & co. as Shenmue games were under development. Yu is alway...

I'm not meeting Yu in Monaco, I am having the dinner in Japan. I was supposed to go to the Monaco dinner, but on the last day of the Kickstarter, someone dropped out of a Japan slot, and I grabbed it straight away. ...so you'll probably be the only non-japanese guy in the world to own the official ...

Hey ! How are you guys progressing on the demo ?
Thank you for your work and dedication for Shenmue

My theory on the bosses we'll meet in Shenmue 3&4... I dunno why some of you believe we will only meet two bosses in Shenmue 3 since Suzuki confirmed we will fight 4 bosses including Niao Sun and Lan Di. You cannot link Shenmue's story pace to boss fights and take conclusions like "5 bo...

A quick reminder from Yu to You all : "To be precise, Shenmue I is the whole of Chapter 1, as is. And Shenmue II corresponds with the Hong Kong chapter. The part about meeting Shenhua was originally in Chapters 5 and 6. I moved just the part about meeting her to Shenmue II. Actually Chapter 3 w...
