Random Shenmue Thoughts

[Amir]

Time doesn't go by at all when you play darts or arcade games in Shenmue II, same when viewing your inventory by pressing Y. I'm sure it did in Shenmue I?

Did anyone ever get an of these extremely rare Sega console capsule toys in Shenmue I? Never even heard of them until I came across them in the Neoseeker wiki yesterday:

Yeah, I got the Megadra Brother and all of the raffle capsule toys.

I have one major gripe with that video, It's why the hell is he actually playing the Japanese version, and not a Pal version. He says he's really enjoying that version, and to that I say how. Even if you played a version with English VA/subtitles in the past multiple times, I still can't imaging getting the most out of Shenmue 2, when you don't know exactly what characters say, every single time they say something.

Seriously, from start to end, all I was thinking about, was how can you be playing that, yet still really enjoying it.

This kid is a total c***. He's lazy as hell, always talks down to Ryo, complains all the time, and fucking stalks Fangmei with a camera. Even besides that he has one of the least likable faces I have ever seen.

Yea, I hate that NPC too, and can't fathom why Ryo didn't beat the crap out of him(not infront of Fangmei though, because it would be messy as hell, and not something such a amazing girl should see)

[Shibiryo]

Why didin't he slit Ryo's neck one pice?

You hit A, fail the QTE. Don't press A and he slits your throat. Either way you're fucked. LOL

I wonder if Xuiying realizes that Lan Di, the person Ryo is trying to hunt down, is her brother?

Also I wonder if Xuiying is following Ryo from afar.

[Yokosuka]

We know already the answers. So don't click if you still want to keep the surprise.

- Lan Di is not her brother but shares the same status : one of the four Chi You Men leaders.
- it's almost certain that Xiuying will follow Ryo outside Hong Kong at some point of the story

We do? Guess that means I need to replay Shenmue 2 again

I was going to do so anyway, I think this next Shenmue 2 run, I'm going to go for a 100 item completion list, man that's going to be hard, but I can't wait to start the run.

Infact, you can only find these information outside the games.

There is an old trailer on the net when Shenmue had still Project Berkley as a code name and contains tons of spoilers.
There are also spoiler artworks delivered by Yu Suzuki/AM2 or found elsewhere before the kickstarter.

Oh ok, I thought it was weird for me to miss details/info like that. I found info in the past about the overall direction that Ryo's char is meant to go in(which I kind of figured such was the case beforehand anyway, as I'm into wuxia series as well as old martial arts movies), but I suppose I didn't find any info on those other things.

Thanks, now it wont be driving me nuts trying to search for something in game, that Isn't there.
