It's not the best, but these are excellent reasons. Don't forget the characters are simply charming and fun to see grow together.
Would love to see what they could do with a sequel with todays consoles.
I'm surprised so many people on GAF of all people like SOA which was pure tripe. Maybe I was tool old when I played it.
The random battles are not the problem. It never was, to focus on the random battle rate would be silly. The game was pure-ass water due to its cringe worthy, embarrassing , insipid juvenile story and the cast of characters that jumped straight of an animu-fruity loops box. Horrible vomit inducing trash, why does Sega keep regurgitating this bile?
I now know why, because people actually accept this anime trope trash.
Yakuza's fighting system is far more simplistic

Again, saying Shenmue is like Yakuza is misleading because the two series play nothing like one another. Yakuza's fighting system is far more simplistic, and combat is a much bigger gameplay focus. Shenmue is largely about talking to people, observing the world and the little details in it, watching people go about their daily routines, stuff like that. Hours can go by without any combat. In contrast, in Yakuza there aren't really any details to notice. You just wander around the crowded-but-barren city streets (none of the NPCs are interesting or differentiated from one another) being dragged into random battles. In Shenmue, the world exists to be explored and appreciated, whereas in Yakuza there's almost no real "exploration." Outside of its mostly skin-deep "open world" trappings, the game world is much more utilitarian, existing mainly to shuttle you from one plot point to another, tossing some items, experience points, and fetch quests at you along the way. (And don't get me wrong. I LOVE Yakuza.)
Sign me up for jpn and USA copiea on psn if shenmue comes out.
I hope passport disc stuff is included as well. I want to be top 10 in the state for forklift racing and 70 battlw again.

The story in Skies of Arcadia is only bad if you're one of those weirdos who thinks the typical teenage love story melodrama crap actually makes a good story. In which case, you have horrible taste.
Skies of Arcadia's story is light and fun, like it's trying to be.
I'm getting nightmares at the thought of a new generation of shenmue fans. *shivers*

Apparently the music quality on the DC version is much better (I only played the GC version), so it's probably the superior version.If it was the Skies Gamecube version, I would be so grateful, but it's probably just the DC port (not that that would be too shabby at all).
Indeed; I agree with you.

Please make a PC port!!!!!

Ideally they would port the Gamecube version of the game but include the Dreamcast music.
MOONS GIVE ME STRENGTH. This worked on the Dreamcast too.Did you know, at least in Legends, that you can skip your own S.Move animations by pressing Start?
If anyone is the King of the Trollercoaster, it's gotta be Sega. Every time I seem to almost forget about Shenmue, Sega always reignites that flame. I just want to forget it all. Please Sega do not tempt me back to Yokosuka....
Unlike the other two mentioned games, I never managed to really sit down an get very far in Skies of Arcadia, (didn't own a copy) but it seemed like a very cute, charming, and lighthearted adventure story. I'm just not convinced it deserves the hate it's getting in this thread.
Never had one, so I didn't know. What did Legends add, anyway? Other than Piastol?MOONS GIVE ME STRENGTH. This worked on the Dreamcast too.
http://www.gamerzines.com/xbox/news-xbox/shenmue-xbla-hd-real-finished.htmlAn HD port of Shenmue is indeed heading to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, and development on the title has been finished for well over a year, according to an industry source speaking to GamerZines.
Our source, who wishes to remain anonymous but does have ties to SEGA, told us that Shenmue HD is real [and has been] finished for well over a year.
As is Shenmue II HD.
According to our insider, SEGA chose to sit on their release until it had a clearer picture of the future for the Shenmue franchise, namely, whether or not Shenmue III would ever see the light of day.

What.Legends has less random battles , black pirates , some new maps discoveries, the extra story and many tweak to some magics properties ( such as the revive magic that had a high chance of failing in the dreamcast version )
And many more little touches here and there ... You have a slightly less quality music and the loss of pinta quest too
WHOAAAAAAA EASY THERE BUCKO LETS NOT GET CRAZY HERENow everyone will get to see how bad both of them are!
