Q. I want to download a certain music track from Shenmue II, where can I get it?
First, PLEAAAASE check here before asking;

If we do not have the track you are looking for, then please keep in mind that LanDC is currently in the process of ripping all the music, so be patient; most if not all of the tracks will be up eventually.

Q. Can I use my save from the US version of Shenmue I on the PAL version of Shenmue II (Dreamcast version)
It is indeed possible. This FAQ should help you. Follow this link, and then scroll down until you see the "US-to-UK save conversion FAQ", and click on it.

Q. How do I get the Bad Ending?
The Bad Ending is triggered on June 31st; so it is a punishment for taking too long to finish the game. The best way to get through the days fast is to keep failing the event at Zhangyu’s Barber Shop, by pressing A every time.
You can download the Bad Ending here;

Q. Are Ziming and Lan Di the same person?
There is sufficient evidence to suggest that Ziming and Lan Di are NOT the same person.
Firstly, Ziming’s full name is Ziming Hong; and we know now that Lan Di’s real name is Zhao Longsun. Two different names.
Also, this sidestory comic that can be unlocked on the Xbox version of Shenmue II seems to suggest they aren’t the same person; (take particular notice of the last page)

While the figure of the present-day Ziming is quite shadowy, you can see clearly that it is not Lan Di.

This is a picture of the four leaders of the Chi You Men that was released on Shenmue.com.

While the other three with Lan Di are obscured, it is immediately obvious that it is Niao Sun to the right of Lan Di (You can find more information on her here; http://www.planetxbox.com/shenmuedojo/s ... view.shtml
, who is featured with Ziming in the aforementioned sidestory comic. And that seems to be Ziming on the far right in this picture. This picture should show you again that Lan Di and Ziming are not the same person;

On a sidenote, some people often believe a scar can be seen on the face of the young Ziming, like Lan Di’s, however if you look closer, it seems to just be dirt, like on Wong’s face.

By the way, the identity of the person on the far left of the Four Leaders pic is not yet known.

Q. What does Joy say to Ryo outside the Come Over Guest House on the morning before his first day of work?
The language Joy speaks in this scene is Chinese, and what she says translates to "Did you have pleasant dreams?" This is understood to be a traditional morning greeting in China.

Q. Is it possible to say goodbye to Joy when leaving Wan Chai?
Nope. Although, if you didn’t trigger the conversation with her at Fortune’s Pier where you talk about Master Chen and Gui Zhang before the day where you have to say goodbye to everyone, you can do it on that very day. Ryo doesn’t say goodbye to her though.

Q. Is there anywhere you can train alone?
Unfortunately not. While in Wan Chai, spar with Jianmin. In Kowloon there are many street fights you can participate in. But there is nowhere you can train alone.

Q. How do I get the Duck Races?
You can only do this at Disc 2. First, visit Tomato Convenience Store at Golden
Qr. and make a friend with Izumi. Go to Pigeon Park and talk to Eileen
Edelweiss who training Tai Chi arts and facing the ocean. She should talk to
you first and challenge you into a fight.

Now go to Green Market Qr. And enter the alleyway next Green Market Pawnshop
where there are Roll It on Top and Lucky Hit Stands. Go straight when you enter
the alley and you will see a store where a man is arranging some cardboard
boxes. If you have not followed the steps above, then the back door will be
still nailed-shut. But if you've done the steps, the back door should be
opened. Enter the back door to the vacant lot. There's some free collectibles
and a Big Bronze Medal for you. Take them all.

If you go to Pine Arcade game, the 3F should be opened. Go to 3F and choose
[Participate] when the man asks you and pay $20. Here you have to fight Eileen.
You will get Big Silver Medal. You can participate again and this time you will
have Izumi as your opponent. It's the remixed Tomato's theme song when you're
fighting her. She has a lot of deadly moves. But you can win easily by avoiding
her attack and do the triple punch combo. When her gauge is already near the
limit, she will try to grab you in her ultimate move. This time you will have
to do NQTE by pressing [X+B,Y+A]. Quite difficult isn't it? Not only that, you
will have to do this for several times until you win. If you failed, Izumi will
knock you down by her ultimate move "Viva Sakura Festival".

After you win, Izumi will promise to take you to an interesting place. Now go
to Tomato Convenience Store and press X Button when you're facing to Izumi. She
will take you to Wise Man's Qr. where the duck race is being held. Read the
"Gambling" section for the rule.

You also can participate your own duck in the race. To get your own duck, you
must go to Man Mo Temple's backyard and you can press the X Button at the tree
again to catch some more leaves. Catch two or more leaves in one catch. Do this
two times. Next, a white feather should fall with the other leaves. Catch the
feather and Ryo should say "Damn!". Choose [Catch] to catch the duck and you
will have it as a key item.

If you go to the Duck Race, you can pay $50 to participate your duck in the
race. Press R Trigger to accelerate and D-Pad to control the duck. It reminds
me of the forklift race from Shenmue I. Win the race and you will have the Big
Gold Medal as your prize.

After you win the gold medal, I think it's impossible to win again that race
since some baby ducks race against your duck. They have incredible speed and
stamina.


Q. How do I trigger the Fangmei’s Birthday event?
This is a VERY detailed guide which I highly recommend;
