Awesome stuff! There must be, somewhere, some Shenmue III Dreamcast assets somewhere.View attachment 9454You called?
I would venture to guess that both Dreamcast and Xbox assets exist, at least.Awesome stuff! There must be, somewhere, some Shenmue III Dreamcast assets somewhere.
I'd imagine in not much more than Alpha phase, but given we have Disc 4 of Shenmue II on the Saturn who knows. I'd love to ask Yu Suzuki, though I don't know if he would be allowed to tell us.I would venture to guess that both Dreamcast and Xbox assets exist, at least.
There's a lot of his work at AM2 that I really wish would come to light one day. Like you said, the fact that there's footage all the way to the end of Shenmue 2 on the Saturn makes it easy to believe that there's definitely Shenmue III footage on the DC. Even more recently, Shenmue IV footage on PS4.I'd imagine in not much more than Alpha phase, but given we have Disc 4 of Shenmue II on the Saturn who knows.

I remember that only a few characters wear the kimono in New Year's day, i think it was 2 or 3 characters, i remember Noriko wearing Kimono, and i remember that Nozomi don't wear kimono this day, i talked with her in New Year's day and i remember she was wearing her normal costume.In Shenmue on New Year's day don't some of the women wear kimonos? I believe I read that they also visit the shrine too. I was wondering who those characters are that wear the kimonos/visit shrine and if one is maybe Nozomi? Can you have a conversation with her in person or by phone about it being New Years or is it just normal conversation. Truly fascinating that I never knew about the New Years thing til recently.
I have a save file sitting on New Year's Day, and was looking around on it a bit ago. Tajima, Miki, and one of the random school girls in Dobuita wear kimono also.I remember that only a few characters wear the kimono in New Year's day, i think it was 2 or 3 characters, i remember Noriko wearing Kimono, and i remember that Nozomi don't wear kimono this day, i talked with her in New Year's day and i remember she was wearing her normal costume.
Well that you can test out, because there's no "presumption they did something", without actually doing it, in the Shenmue games. NPCs do infact visit the shrine, so if you see NPCs around there, maybe try coming earlier or even days leading up to such.I have a save file sitting on New Year's Day, and was looking around on it a bit ago.

Ryo's friends hang out near the Yamanose shrine, but I think the implication is that they already took care of their Hatsumoude, so I don't think they actually visit the shrine itself, but I'm not sure.
Yea sadly that's realistic. Except during actual festivals, It's extremely unlikely to see woman wearing their kimono's out, and about sigh. Such a shame too, hell It's a shame the oriental countries have adapted the modern western, flavorless as all hell, clothing..I remember that only a few characters wear the kimono in New Year's day, i think it was 2 or 3 characters, i remember Noriko wearing Kimono, and i remember that Nozomi don't wear kimono this day, i talked with her in New Year's day and i remember she was wearing her normal costume.
The only time i saw Nozomi wearing Kimono was in this
