My very first post on here so if this has already been discussed I apologise.
I played Shenmue when I was 14 in 2000 and Shenmue II a year later; my favourite games of all time.
I was wondering what you guys hope will happen in Shenmue III.
Here are my hopes and hopefully you guys will give some insight regarding what I have to say.
1. I hope the Dragon Mirror which Lan Di stole is fake. Ryo’s father knew Lan Di was coming so maybe he had someone make him a fake mirror. This would explain why the hiding place for the Dragon Mirror wasn’t so secretive and the hiding place for the Phoenix Mirror was.
2. Ryo’s father entrusted the real Dragon Mirror with someone who Ryo has to find.
3. There are more than two mirrors. Ryo needed four keys to unlock the door to get to Yuanda Zhu. Two of them were White Tiger and Black Tortoise. I understand this has something to do with the Divine Beasts?
4. The saga doesn’t end in Shenmue III.
5. Ryo’s quest to avenge his father’s death takes him to the United States. The men in black suits with Lan Di were clearly Caucasian. Lan Di may have connections in the USA and I hope Lan Di ends up going there and Ryo does too. Maybe Ryo meets Tom there.
6. The saga ends, at the soonest, in the fifth game.
I’d like to know what you have to say about my ideas. Maybe you know for certain that some of them will definitely not happen. I’d also like to know what your ideas are. There’s probably already a topic on this in the forum somewhere.
