Will Shenmue III enable PayPal or a means to donate to the project when the Kickstarter ends? Projects like Star Citizen gained tens of millions in donations by allowing this.


Suzuki:I am still thinking about it, but have not decided yet.

Well that's good news. There's absolutely no downside in doing so and could help a lot.

Hope he didn't misunderstand and think the question was asing if PayPal was a general option for Kickstarter NOW

That's true. It's really hard to tell considering the language barrier, i guess only time will tell now.

How accurately will Shenmue III be compared to your original vision of the game or will there be major compromises?

Suzuki: There are a total of 11 chapters that make up the whole story. Over the past 14 years I originally planned for there to 4 or five games to the series. If at all possible, I would still like to realize the full story of 11 chapters.

He didn't really answer the question.

I think that is his way of answering the question. He is basically saying he wants to retain that full vision if at all possible. Meaning he doesn't want to compromise, which is great!

Wow people are downvoting my Shenmue Saturn comment. What Shenmue fan wouldn't want to play the Saturn version? It literally pushed the system further than any other 3D game I have seen.

Why would he think that? The question clearly states "when the Kickstarter ends". Don't overanalyze!

They're probably doing it because we want answers for III and could care less about the Saturn version haha. I'll upvote you!

Now he's answering questions about cherry blossoms. CHERRY BLOSSOMS!

...

Peach Blossom DLC confirmed.

[Himuro]

Shenmue is a Peach Blossom tree correct? Could you tell us what type of tree exactly?

I would like to plant one.

Suzuki: It is more like a cherry blossom tree, that blooms its flowers in the springtime. It is actually a tree I made up for the story.

The reason I say that is because in the Q&A on the Kickstarter page, there is a similarly phrased question. Excuse me for pointing out a possibility. Did I sound definitive to you? Just saying... geez

Day/Night cycle confirmed

[Supa]

I feel like he did. "If possible, I would still like to realize the full story of 11 chapters".

Will you reassure us that Ryo's face will be changed back to the Ryo we all know and love when Shenmue 3 releases, and not this impostor wearing Ryo's jacket that you have on Kickstarter? That is NOT our Ryo!

I am not happy with Ryo's face. It will be the face I have in my mind in the end.

Day/Night cycle confirmed

Yes! Loved that about SHenmue

[sand4fish]

Hello Suzuku-san! Will a day-to-night cycle and weather system return to Shenmue 3? They added so much to the atmosphere of previous games. Thank you Suzuki-san!

Yu_Suzuki[S] 14 points 2 minutes ago
Of course!
