Still kinda amazing to me how we have all this official artwork of the series for characters/events that are faaaaaar into the future beyond 2 or even 3.

It's been too long since a Shenmue 2 replay so I'll have to come back to that. Possibly the Command QTEs? Regular QTEs are good for letting the cutscenes flow while feeling like you're participating, but Command QTEs just break a cutscene in its tracks and takes you out of the moment. But in...

Loving the art! Shen Hua's headdress looks especially intricate and lovely. Beautifully rendered. Ryo looks a little scary, like a villain in a shounen anime or the frontman of a visual kei band! It's the eyes...!
