Re: KS Update #38: Masaya Matsukaze Confirmed & Monaco Meeti

Don't forget, the Monaco one also means you can attend the very first event that Shenmue III will be publicly shown at as well.

Re: Be my +1 for the Monaco dinner!

Haha yeah just noticed it myself. I was fuku San only a few hours ago...

I was a member back in early 2000's as I played both Dreamcast titles, but to my shame I gave up on seeing the sequel after Yu left Sega, and my membership expired I think. I just want to meet him to apologise for it...

You're here now, and that's more than some can say.

Re: Shenmue III: FOR WUDE!

This is such an amazing thing. wude was always such a nice and wonderful part of this community. I remember one year, a particularly bad birthday for me, I had come home all pissed off and just overall annoyed. I logged into the dojo and had a private message from wude wishing me a happy birthday. Its such a simple thing but it really brightened up a horrible day and really made a really big difference to me at the time. I really hope he's ok and his absence is not a result of something serious. I'm sad I missed the opportunity to donate towards this, but I've decided to up my pledge in honor of both wude and all the other Shenmue fans who are unable to see this day. "For wude"

I wish we could have done this for Reuben Kee too, but I didn't think of it until now. For those not familiar, he was a composer and Shenmue fan who died in a boating accident in 2007. I'll try to link his cover of the Shenmue credits music, but mobile might make that tough.

Re: Would you like to see Shenmue III have an orchestrated O

Absolutely! I'm listening to one of the pieces on the Orchesta OST that is still unused in the games right now .
It would be criminal to let this grand epic theme go unused. It's fine on the CD but I want to hear it play along a super epic cutscene in Shenmue III.

Thanking the dojo and it's members

Hello.
I am a new member to the dojo, pleased to meet you all. I finally decided to create an account given the recent events (shenmue 3 existing). Although i never registered i have been visiting the dojo over the years in order to remind myself that i wasn't alone in loving this game.
Like many others, i had given up hope of ever playing any new shenmue game, but you guys kept the hope alive and maintained your commitment to it.
Thank you, it's because of you that the kickstarter exists, it's because of you that the story can continue.

May the dojo live forever.

Re: Shenmue III Kickstarter Ends At $6,333,295; 69,320 Backe

Thank you, guys! Thank you, beloved Shenmue community! We did it! We really did it! No words describe my feelings right now. Thank you, Yu Suzuki, for giving us this amazing opportunity to step up for our most special masterpiece.

I guess I will write more later, when I start to realize what just happened over the course of the past month. As for me, I pledged right on day one, and joined in as many community Kickstarter events as possible (e.g. 30onthe3rd). In the final four minutes, I upped my pledge by another 15$ to reach a nice number. Shenmue is amazing. Yu Suzuki is amazing. We are amazing. Fuck it, we almost made another million today, for crying out loud. This is just the best day ever. (That is, until Shenmue 3 hits the shelf, of course.)

Everybody who supported the Kickstarter, thank you.
Everybody who supported the fans, the community, the effort and Yu, thank you.
Everybody working behind the scenes, thank you.
Everybody at Ys Net, thank you.

Today is our day, let's rock hard and party loud!

Re: Shenmue III Kickstarter Ends At $6,333,295; 69,320 Backe

This will go down as my proudest moment ever as a gamer. I gave literally every dollar I could without hurting myself. We did it, guys. We made the miracle come true. And now, with PayPal having been announced, I have NO DOUBT that we will get the Shenmue game we have waited for for the better part of 20 years. This is a momentous day I shall remember for the rest of my life.

I love you all and am so grateful to you all, and so honored to have been a small part of this process.

Re: Forbes claim $20 million is already secured privately

Bloodstained received 90% of its funds through private investment and openly admitted after the campaign ended that the Kickstarter was used to gauge interest, so I don't know why Shenmue 3 has gotten so much shit for it (especially as no one actually knows any of the facts and much of the speculation has been proven false).

But still, I would love if we got a lot of private investment. If this 20m is true, I will be happy. It would be awesome if it secured even more investment now that the KS was such a success and a record breaker.

Re: Shenmue III Kickstarter Ends At $6,333,295; 69,320 Backe

Does anyone know if Yu will announce when he has the full $6.3 million in his hands? Still uneasy that there could be issues with Kickstarter not being able to deduct money from some people's accounts (bank declining, not enough funds etc...)
Don't forget KS fees need removing- Ys net are getting approx. 90%, so around $5.7m.

Of that approx. $4.43m is actually going on development with the remaining going on reward fulfillment. (Not sure which pot the in game content reward comes out of though).


And the 7 days is the timeframe you have to fix a payment if their first attempt isn't successful- they will automatically make a second attempt at the end of the timeframe.

So you should see the money come out within 24 to 48 hours of the campaign closing.

Joining the Community

Hey all,

I had no idea this community even existed until a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, I was one that loved Shenmue but had given up on a continuation ever happening. I remember reading the Official Dreamcast Magazine with Ryo on the cover and wondering what in the world Shenmue was (I still have every issue and demo disc). Little did I know that it would turn into a lifelong favorite of mine.

The magazine previews and trailers that came on the discs were enough to entice me to preorder the first Shenmue. It was just one of those games that I couldn't put down (with the exception of sleep and work). There have been few games that really pulled me into the story in as close to a full immersion as I think a game has ever come. When it ended, I was disappointed as there was no ending, but was expecting it given the previews. I eagerly anticipated the sequel so I could continue the story. Then disaster.

Living in America, we were one of the only primary gaming communities to not get Shenmue II on Dreamcast and I had no intentions of buying an Xbox for the port. I cursed Sega for leaving us out, but it was them who truly cursed themselves as Sega has never been the same since the end of Dreamcast. I figured that my time with Shenmue was at an end until a couple of years later, a friend of mine in college had gotten into Dreamcast. He's about as hardcore a Dreamcast pirate as I had ever seen as he had download dozens of Dreamcast titles onto his computer... including the European version of Shenmue II. He offered to burn me a copy and I accepted in order to continue the story.

I had to read the subtitles in order to understand the depth of the story but it truly was a masterpiece; being an incredible continuation. I remember playing through it while my girlfriend at the time (now wife) watched me play. Once I was done and the cliffhanger left all of us up in the air, I started to hope to hear news of a continuation. As time dragged on, I had kept my Dreamcast primarily for the Shenmue games, but it seemed as though the story would never complete. I had given up hope of a continuation as Sega seemed to be in the gutter.

Then there were murmurings that Mark Cerni was in talks with Yu Suzuki about potentially reviving Shenmue on the PS4. I was truly excited at the prospect but the murmurings went away... until last E3. Before the show, people were anticipating a potential Shenmue 3 announcement as they do every year and I remember posting that it would never happen; I had given up hope. Of course, when Yu Suzuki walked out on stage my jaw dropped. They announced the Kickstarter campaign and I suppose the rest is now history.

Feeling a bit guilty about participating in pirating Shenmue 2, I put in $100 into the kickstarter. My wife remembered how much I enjoyed the series and regardless that money is tight for us gave the ok for the $100 backing as my birthday gift. I figure it would cover the $50 I would have paid for Shenmue II as well as the $50 I would happily pay for the third game.

I'm really excited to have been part of the kickstarter and it was seeing so many fans in the comments that made me decide to join Shenmue Dojo's community. I look forward to anticipating the new game with all of you on these boards and plan to eventually buy a Ryo Hazuki First Four figure for my shelf when I can come up with $150+ for it. Here's hoping that Sega announces an HD remaster of the first two games.

Re: Congratulatory Videos: Happy Console Gamer & Adam Korali

We did it guys. We Fucking did it!!!!!!

The last month has been such an amazing experience. Despite everything, all the negativity, all the hate, all the clickbait articles, all the people going out their way to destroy the franchise, WE CAME OUT ON TOP!!!. The odds have always been against us, but we refused to give up and continued to push forward together.

I'm part of other communities, but this fanbase is the one i consider a second family. We all got each others backs and it showed.

No doubt the fight will continue in the future. Trolls will continue to troll, gaming journalist will try and use their influence to damage the franchise as will certain youtubers. But they will NEVER EVER be able to stop us. Our passion, dedication, support and determination is our greatest strength. We are unstoppable!!!!!!!

Everyone raise a glass.

SHENMUE IS BACK BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!

Next Target, SHENMUE HD. WE'RE COMING FOR YA!!!!!!
