I recently got back from a trip to Japan where I bought a DC and Shenmue. I've been learning Japanese for 2 years now and the kodomo (child) mode from the oprions menu of the Japanese version really makes it easier for me to play the game but there's still plenty of stuff I don't quite understand. That's why I'm searching for the game script, regardless if it's in english or japanese, I just need either one in order to fully experience this wonderful game.
I did a search on google, but all I got was the game script of Shenmue II, which I have yet to purchase.
Could any of you aid a fellow shenmue fan in his search for the game script? Thanks a bunch in advance!
Welcome to the Dojo! I'm glad to know you're trying to play the Japanese version.
Do you mean you've never played Shenmue before? I've never heard of any script for
Shenmue, unfortunately. But, have you heard of "US Shenmue" that looks like this?

It's the English voiced Shenmue with Japanese/English subtitles for the Japanese DC,
though there's no "kodomo mode" with it. Isn't it easier for you to check the English
version whenever you need a help by playing the exact part of the game with the file
of the Japanese version you've just saved in your VMU? I hope you wouldn't mind
the extra spending on "US Shenmue" and enjoy the amazing world of Shenmue fully!
BTW, I've never used the "kodomo mode" for playing Shenmue, as I'm Japanese. ;)
