Character Analysis (<- press here :))
@yuc02 and I co-wrote a piece for @Switch s Phantom River Stone blog, on some of the Chinese writing you can see in the Magic trailer. It was really fun to write and it also hit me repeatedly over the head with the familiar "ffs, the details in this game are insane". It's making me yearn for Shenmue III. I need to know what else is there, how else have they fleshed out everything with details and layers you'll keep missing until your fourth playthrough? Being beyond interested in Chinese culture and history I just know we're gonna be in for more treats indeed and there'll be plenty to learn for those who wants to delve. I love and appreciate how Yu Suzuki does this, does his background checks, reads up, talks, travels, and then with great care use it all to create a solid in-depth world.
