My top 3 scenes in Shenmue, ooh that's hard.
My third favorite scene is the Nozomi rescue scene because it adds a lot to the relationship between Nozomi and Ryo.

My second favorite scene is the forest run through and Shenhua's house because it begins the tale of one of the biggest cliffhangers ever.

My most favorite Shenmue scene, if I really had to choose, is:
I know, I know, its odd but there's a fundamental reason for it.
That scene is important to me because I spent soooooo much time hacking Shenmue save files, to recreate LanDCs hacked saves for the xbox, to load that area as a playable area.

Seeing that scene in the game reminds me of my own dedication to the series and the completion of the storyline. It really sends a chill down my spine as well as makes me feel enlightened about the game as well.
My least favorite part?
Fighting Chai in the Arcade, son of a bitch he is hard, unless you max your moves out.
