Wow, absolute insanity! The Mao and Ren stuff is actually mind blowing! Kudos for finding it :P
@Master-Mo Madness this had been sat there all this time.
Absolutely amazing work by Nathan, David, and Chao! These are amazing!
Congrats Matt on the baby news! Feels like you guys glossed over that lol. Super happy for you. Incredible find with the art leaks and I think James is spot on about Ren and Mao having an unexpected reunion in the very near future. Thanks as always for the video breakdown!
Much appreciated! It's all systems go here with the little one on the way.
The art leaks are insane and we'll have more to share when the auction stuff arrives.
1:10:08 - That shot also appeared in the Project Berkley preview.
39:20 - Meizhu Rong, running one of the stands in White Dynasty Qr.
Character at 34:40 is unused in game but actually she does appear briefly near the You Arcade in the end cutscene when Ryo is leaving Dobuita.
Never noticed her back,so..yeah, it's definitely she🎉
I just noticed that there was that character there in that scene in my last playthrough over Christmas;
Had never noticed her before in that scene, and was just recently wondering about it
She looks like that martial arts girl in Shen 2.
Indeed, and she is the only Shenmue 1 character not given a name or profile in the Passport/strategy guide books!
56:18 - A simplified version of Zhou Zhuang (Yellow Head), which also happens to be a town within Shuzou.
31:55 - The chapter card on the right side (Xi'an), behind Ren: that's Mao!
53:11 - Zhong Che (Green Market Qr.)
Something I've been in awe of ever since I found the Dojo as an outsider looking in is you guys passion and dedication Shenmue. I really enjoyed watching this the next morning with a cup of tea and I wonder what else can be found in the wayback machine.
Time will tell! Thank you for watching and enjoying!
Thanks so much for watching!!
Amazing stuff!
Looking forward to the auction artwork discussions too.
They're on the way. James and I will need to meet up to get them all scanned in and ready. We can't wait!
@@ShenmueDojoVOD can't hardly wait too, so thank you💖
Some interesting finds in there, thank you, guys.
We're shocked this was hidden in plain sight!
@ShenmueDojoVOD Absolutely!
Honestly, it may be worth trying to search for other dev artwork hidden out there. Not sure where to start though
Great finds, fellas! Looking forward to the artwork from the auction
Always worth a try
52:13 - So both Ryo and Shenhua were supposed to be a bit taller...
WOW! Excellent find!!
Insane they were there all along in plain sight and we didn't see them!
I'll take all the Dreamcast Artwork available. The Boat, Miao Village, Li River, Baisha, The Train, Koutei & Gentei my mind been waiting 25 years here.
You’ll have to keep waiting for those then!
@@SkillJim From what we showed on those previews pictures certainly got connections too the Dreamcast era dated 2000 afterall. Fifty key characters on that poster from the Chiyoumen too the Grandmasters too the Old Wise Men community. Find it hard too believe not one off the Fifty not on those pages.
We shall see
Insane, those Shenmue 3 Dreamcast models.... THAT's the game I was waiting for. Pray for a "demake" in the 1+2 engine or style.
@bloodstaindtn A de-make is very unlikely but this is a glimpse into what they had planned back in the day for sure.
@@ShenmueDojoVOD You never know, these are the images I had in my imagination for a decade and they're so perfect, I need closure!
Woman in a trenchcoat (Jen) seems to have the same face as the woman from Asia Travel Co? They might have reused the face
It's quite possible
53:43 - Haoran Jiang (Man Mo Electrical Goods)
I'm surprised you guys haven't heard of Digital Dance Mix Vol. 1 Namie Amuro -- it was produced by Yu Suzuki.
@marioe.4400 Probably a little obscure even for us! Definitely one to add to the knowledge bank though.
20:42 looks kinda like virtua fighter 3 (1996) style face - facial expression, hair..
Can certainly see that
Says "JEN" in Roman letters, but it says Jean (jeen) Brighton in katakana FYI.
That thumbnail *really* confused me until I saw what the video length was obscuring.
A tresure trove!
Ren Mongolian interesting 🤔 I would not rule anything out with shenmue tbh
