In the castle, the other characters almost don't speak. To me, it's a clear signal that they weren't planned for that section. I'd redo most of that stage and write decent dialogue for all characters. Also... only two real boss fights in the game???? The second one should have happened in...

I remember Yu mentioning in a interview that, in a certain point in the journey, Ryo will lost interest in the revenge. And I believe that is bound to happen. In the recap movie, the narrator says that "Without understanding the last words of his father, Ryo pursues his revenge". So I think...

Well, since Shenmue III sales and reviews are not going so well as we wanted, it's time to be realistic about some matters: - I believe Yu has already some plan regarding funding the next game. Probably some publisher or even Sega would have some input at it. - Even with or without publisher...

I just finished the game and this is my opinion: The game captures perfectly the spirit of the originals (which was my main concern, if they would achieve this). I'm not sure if the game maps/area are bigger than Shenmue II, but if they are, the game is too short. Of course, we can't compare...
