I'd believe it. Saturn Shenmue had a much shorter Yokosuka and most likely shorter everything. DIsc 4 Guilin, which is only a portion of Chapter 5(?), was surely suppose to be entirely in a Dreamcast Shenmue 3 if Sega hadn't pulled the plug after only ~2 years.
It seems that even in the early stages of the Dreamcast age The Yokosuka part seemed to be smaller than it it used to be. Cannot prove it, but I have reading some old previews again, and all of them stated that the game takes place in China. Some articles also mentioned Hong Kong. Japan was not mentioned in them as Setting at all. I am not sure if the info about the Japan Setting were lost in Translation or if Yu-San really put much more emphasis in the chinese Setting...
