It'll be interesting to see what they do with 3. I really can't wait to hear more about that game. I hope it's more like the first, I wanna feel like I'm home again.
I think we need to give Shenmue 3 a chance to be it's own game. So much time has passed and Suzuki would be keen to try new things he's been thinking about. I'm sure we'll see things we are familiar with however, there will not be a place like Yokosuka again in Shenmue 3 as Suzuki has already mentioned. I don't even know if Ryo will ever get back to Japan given the 11 chapter card reveal at GDC 2014.
I've always hoped for a nice free roam mode when the saga is all complete. Going back and seeing everyone you've met would be amazing. Not sure how the free roam would work for the all the other areas that Ryo has visited and will end up visiting though, maybe just an extra chapter back in Japan to see everyones reaction at Ryo returning, and possibly meeting back up with Nozomi if they brought her back from Canada because she knew Ryo was coming back home
