And do we not? We're getting closer to Yu-san statements for next year. Read carefully his Light AI keywords interview, how obviously he's restraining from telling details of what he plans but hints something warm and kind, almost quoting. My bet: This time he will reveal far more than before.
Another topic its liking or not his procedure with keywords and scarce info and media. I like it, its old school minded, badass imo. Then something like Air Twister or Shenmue 3 its pulled out like a rabbit from a magician hat.
People from western industry like John Romero (Daikatana aside) are from that mindset too.
Spending our energy into bringing now, because we need, because now, Shenmue's closure into a novel or anime will have harm potential for getting a closure at all. Will Shenmue survive YS? That I can't know, but if YS gets hasted and burned and he retires in all his own right forget about Shenmue for a long long time.
Call me a nail, stubborm or what you good people like. Its true but I geniouly think its for Yu Suzuki's and Shenmue's good.
