I stumbled across this article when considering if Yakuza 6 would be a good stop gap for Shenmue 3. I can't accept that Yu Suzuki would let someone else take creative control 6 months before the release of Shenmue. Seeing his work ethic on S3, he is in the office 7 days a week and even sleeps there. So during the time of S1 he wouldn't have just given up, he would still be coming to work, so how would he let someone else make decisions while he is there.
This article has really been bothering me, either the information in it is false, or Sega took away control from Yu Suzuki on Shenmue 1, if so then that will be another reason for me to dislike Sega. My thoughts are that Nagoshi only helped push development along and didn't make any creative decisions, so I thought I would ask the question here.
Does anyone have more info on this considering this article is only from Dec 2018. Seems odd that I cannot find any mention of this anywhere else since the release of Shenmue 1, why would he mention it now that Shenmue 3 is in every most awaited games list for 2019. Or are there any other articles that can shed light on what Nagoshi's input was on Shenmue? As a supervisor he would just be managing staff and reporting back to Yu Suzuki.
I don't wish to start a Shenmue vs Yakuza war, I just didn't like the tone of the article and disagree with the info in it, so just wanted more clarity.
Thanks.
