I like how you can get away from the security guards. I knew about that, discovered that a few years ago, but it's nice to see it getting mentioned here. On my recent playthrough the last few days I did that once for fun while wasting all the days until Shozo gives you all the hints. I have to say that the guards seem a lot easier then all those years ago when I first played the game. They are sometimes so slow that they don't even catch up to Ryo running at half speed. Had to stop so I got caught.
Did you know that you can actually execute the whole moves during the teaching of the Double Blow, Shadow Step, Swallow Flip and Tornado Kick when you're supposed to just do the steps first? The person who teaches you will react impressed upon Ryo's quick learning of the move. Did that wherever possible during my recent playthrough, was something new for me.
About the sunrise. Is it actually possible to stay awake that long during the search for the bars? I know you can stay up well into the night but afair you still get teleported back home at 3 or 4 a.m.
One more thing. Does anybody know if the Shenmue Dojo channel or anyone else on YouTube has the "Shamisen version" of Shenhua's theme uploaded? It's a very short loop that plays close to the vending machine besides the Ajiichi during the new year's week. I never heard that until my recent playthrough as I usually always finish the game before that point in time and I found that quite interesting. I think it should go into the Dojo's channel's music collection to make it absolutely complete, if it isn't uploaded yet.
