In 1994, while researching in China for Virtua Fighter, Yu Suzuki

began to create his concept for a new adventure game.

His original plan was to create a traditional RPG with the characters

and storyline of Virtua Fighter.  However, as development went on, the game moved

away from its Virtua Fighter roots and became its own unique universe.  Never having an

official title, the game was known only as Project Berkeley.

While originally a Sega Saturn game, the project suffered from massive delays and

a slow development process.  When the Sega Saturn met its demise, the project was

shelved until it was eventually moved to Sega's next console, the Dreamcast.

During the game's development, anticipation started to grow.  Many became intrigued by

Yu Suzuki's concept for an open world environment that demonstrated the power of Sega's new

console.  The game was viewed as a flagship title and killer app for the Dreamcast.

It was released in November 1999 in Japan and a whole year

later in North America under the title Shenmue.

The game featured an open world environment that consisted of actual towns in Japan.

There were many people and objects to interact with, real-time cutscenes,

and a fighting system based on Yu Suzuki's Virtua Fighter.

Every character was fully voiced in either Japanese or English dialogue.

The game also featured Quick Time Events which involved pressing certain buttons in order during a given event.

Many perceived Shenmue as an RPG game, while the gameplay focus was more akin to an adventure game.

Yu Suzuki didn't want to associate Shenmue with a typical RPG,

which stood for Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment.  This term was used to refer

to the real-time weather changing system,

night and day cycles, and the interactive characters with daily routines and schedules.

The soundtrack was composed by numerous video game music composers including

Yuzo Koshiro, who was best known from other Sega titles as Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage.

The story begins with a mysterious girl overlooking a cliff in the mountains and awaiting a young man who comes from the East.

This young man's unrealized potential is a power

capable of either destroying him or realizing his will.

His path in life will be fraught with adversity which must be faced and endured by his courage.

Her destiny is to encounter this man and travel together with him on his path.

While her presence is shrouded in mystery, she will have a deep influence on this man's fate.

On November 29, 1986 in Yokosuka, Japan, Ryo Hazuki

returns home to his family dojo to discover that his home has been

invaded and his family has been attacked.

He finds his father Iwao Hazuki in the midst of a battle with a mysterious

hand over a stone dragon mirror but he refuses.

Lan Di easily defeats Ryo's father as well as Ryo himself in battle and then

threatens to kill Ryo if his father doesn't give in to his demands.  Reluctantly,

Ryo's father reveals the location of the mirror to Lan Di.

After finding the mirror, Lan Di reveals to Ryo that his father killed a man named Zhao Sunming.

Then, in one final attack, Lan Di kills his father and leaves with the mirror.

In his final moments, Iwao apologizes to Ryo for what he has done to him

and tells him to never let go of his closest friends before taking his last breath.

Four days later, Ryo, still haunted by the memories of the night his father was

murdered, finds a letter written to him in his father's room.

According to the letter, his father knew that he was going to die.

Ryo becomes determined to find the man who killed his father and get his revenge.

In order to do so, he begins by investigating the events that occurred on the day of the murder.

Ryo begins his quest with the help of friends and people in the town.

Fuku-san, a live-in student at the Hazuki dojo, tells him what he recalls

from the events of that fateful day. Tom Johnson, the local hot dog vendor,

gives Ryo a better description of the man who murdered his father.  Ryo learns from the

chinese people in the town that Lan Di may be associated with a chinese

black market cartel that recently set up base in the nearby harbor.

Nozomi Harasaki, Ryo's childhood friend, has always had a strong

relationship with him, but despite their love and affection for each other,

their relationship is never able to progress beyond friendship.  As Ryo becomes more

involved with the search for his father's killer,

Nozomi can only watch from a distance while she continues with her high school graduation.

Things take a turn for the worse when Nozomi learns that she must return

home to her mother in Canada who has recently become ill.

She becomes divided between her family and a potential future with Ryo.

However, as Ryo becomes more focused on his search for Lan Di, they begin to grow further apart from one another.

One day, Ryo's housekeeper Ine-san tells him of a letter that arrived for his father shortly after his death.

The letter, written by a man named Zhu Yuanda,

told Ryo's father of Lan Di and to seek the aid of a man named Master Chen.

On the back of the letter is a phone number to a warehouse in the nearby harbor.

Ryo tracks down the warehouse and meets up with Master Chen along with his son Guizhang.

Master Chen tells Ryo that Lan Di is the leader of a crime organization known as the Chiyoumen.

They also tell Ryo of his father's relation to Zhu Yuanda.  Supposedly,

Zhu and Ryo's father brought back two mirrors from China.

Ryo recalls that Lan Di only knew of and stole one of the mirrors from his house.

Upon investigating his house, he discovers a hidden basement underneath the dojo and finds

When Ryo returns to Master Chen with the Phoenix Mirror, Master Chen tells him of

According to the prophecy, when the dragon and phoenix meet, the gates of heaven

and earth will open unleashing a mythical chinese monster named Chiyou that would devour the world.

Master Chen believes that Ryo must never allow Lan Di to obtain both mirrors.

Before they finish conversing, they are interrupted by a strange man named Chai

who works for Lan Di and attempts to steal the mirror.

Guizhang believes that Chai is linked to the Chiyoumen and the Mad Angels, the

local gang that's been causing trouble for Chen's company.

Master Chen believes Lan Di may be heading to Hong Kong next.

Upon hearing this, Ryo decides that he must travel to Hong Kong and continue his pursuit.

He asks Master Chen and Guizhang for assistance but they refuse believing that Ryo

To learn more about the Mad Angels, Ryo gets a job working at the harbor with

the help of his friend Goro.  Soon after working at the harbor, he is harassed by many members of the Mad Angels.

After constantly refusing to give in to their demands, they threaten him

with the endangerment of his friends and family.

Soon, Ryo learns from his fellow co-worker Mark of an upcoming black market deal

called the Long Xia which involves the Chiyoumen and the Mad Angels.  Ryo interrogates one of

the identity of Terry, the boss of the Mad Angels.  Later that night, Ryo

learns that Chai has kidnapped Nozomi which forces Ryo into an encounter with
