For me, my favorite character from Shenmue 1 is definitely Nozomi. Her character shows a lot of emotion and seems real. Her English voice is also very well done.

In Shenmue 2, my favorite character is a tie. Ren because of the already mentioned qualities. And the guy from fortunes pier with the horrible teeth, he is at a stand. Solely because his teeth were sooo outrageous. Does anyone have a picture of him?

I know exactly who you are talking about too, his face is ingrained in my mind. He had a funny voice too I think?

That Rasta guy in Bar Liverpool was my favourite, until he raised his bet to $300 and started throwing a perfect bullseye every time.

Yup he did, his teeth stuck out like horizontally almost. I cant find any photo online of him.

:lol: I don't know if the people who designed the shenmue 2 npc's wanted to give hong kong a gritty working class feel with rough people or were just racist and took advantage of the situation to make as many ugly dirty Chinese npc's as possible

Yeah that isn't the guy I was thinking of either so I know we are thinking of the same one. I think it was just trying to be realistic, after all I have seen people like that before in real life. Not everyone looks normal in the sense that they have regularly formed teeth and such. ( I knew a girl who had an extra tooth jutting from above another one on the top of her mouth, and I knew a girl who was from Vietnam who had two thumbs on one hand, one of them was growing out of the other thumb)

^ yeah I was just making a joke, hong kong was a pretty rough city in the 80's or so I was told, the fact they made a lot of the npc's look ugly was probably to portray a working class area and promote the gritty atmosphere, it would look out of place to put people who look like they live in the suburbs walking around the gritty high rises of kowloon

TBH Japan has a rep of sometimes being passive aggressive racist.
Not saying I agree with it but it's how some people view it.

^I used to think it was really bad but it seems most Japanese aren't really racist they are just not used to foreigners so are a little ignorant and us westerners qualify a lot of ignorant things as being racist, that's the way I see it, their far right nationalist groups are far from as violent as ours anyway even if they are loud shouting "white pig go home" :lol:

all though I understand them sometimes, a lot of people who visit there don't bother to learn about the the cultural difference and end up being offensive

Serious answer. Ren & Joy & Ghuizang.

Ren is funny but cool. Joy would be hot yet annoying but still likeable. Ghuizang is a badass and dashing fellow as he kicks ass.

I said before but Ryo I'm sorry but he sucks. His personality is wood. His VA is terrible. He is also a moron. He just resembles every textbook thing how NOT to make a main character. Ok ok he isn't as bad as Vaan. Still Ryo should have been the best in the game. When really he is the Hayden Christensen of the series.
