I really want Ryo to find
Xiuyings brother in
IV. Who is he and why did he leave? What is his personality like and what can Ryo learn from him? (Yu can't just skip this part. No way. I want to know.)
They could make an emotional scene where Xiuying reunite with her brother. If the scene is well made I think it can be a very memorable Shenmue-moment.
And besides that. I want to see Xiuying again because she's not only a well designed character but she's also very mysterious. Like she's hiding something. She could teach Ryo another move and sparr with him as well.
I also wanted to see Gui zhang again but.. he doesn't serve any purpose to the story any more. Same with Joy and Wong. Keeping the phone calls is a good way to compensate that. I hope Ren will be given more of a personality and some time to develop. He just showed up from nowhere in Niaowu with no explanation of how he got there of all places, and why.
I also hope for more ´romance´ between Shenhua and Ryo. It sounds kinda silly but you know what I mean..
When they arrive to the starting point of Sh IV, they need to take a break after that long walk. Sharing a bed could be a good start. That would be fun and akward. While Ren could sleep on the couch.
Ryo has already shared the same room with Xiuying so why not. He is ready now for step 2. He can't be a robot forever.
Or maybe that's a bit too much..
Jokes aside. There may be 1 or 2 games left to finish the series so therefore I expect significant development of the main characters.
Last thing. What about that
mysterious scroll? A code written as a poem. But for what, is it a move? What move?
- I hope Yu gives us the answer in
IV
