The story to that point was well written before the development on Dreamcast started so why would they even bother designing new areas that wont even be visited? I don't think this means the place WONT be visited, just maybe not in the same layout. The South Carmain Qr wasn't removed, only changed, you know what I mean?
The development of Shenmue was a series of waste. They wasted Saturn Shenmue.
They wasted lots of scenes and plots. Lots of cuts and changes. Some people miss
the bicycle riding that was included in the "What's Shenmue" video. Many people miss
the "Chapter two, the boat." Among the cuts is the journey from Hong Kong to Guilin.
There must have been quite a lot of cutscenes there.
And, the mysterious old man is listed as unused character in the Shenmue II Goodies,
remember? I believe they've decided not to use him in the future.
Of course, there's a possibility they would change their mind and revive some scenes. ;)
