Takai_Sensei63 karma

English below! But why learn Japanese if not to try speaking to one of my heroes?

鈴木さん、来てくれたありがとうございます!シェンムーは私の日本に来た理由ですよ!そのゲームに見せた生きている町や人々はそんなに自然でリアルでしたから、自分で日本を見たかったです。それから、今は日本に住んでいるのは4年目です。

聞きたいことは何億円持ったら夢のシェンムーがどんなゲームを作るでしょうか?

そして、何かの気に入った特徴やゲームプレイはシェンムー1か2には出られなかったですか?

(Suzuki-san, thank you for coming today! Shenmue is the reason I came to Japan. Those living towns and people you showed in your games were so natural and real, that I wanted to see it for myself. So, now I am in my fourth year of living in Japan.

What I'd like to ask is, if you had billions of yen, what would your dream Shenmue be?

Also, were there any features or gameplay you liked that didn't make it into Shenmue 1 or 2?)

Is that because of all the hardcore Greek nationalists? Or is there a double meaning there?

Edit: well, TIL

Across the Universe 2: Across Time and Space

Takai_Sensei5 karma

The laughter of a man who has stared into the darkness of a Budget, and seen its black, unforgiving soul.

Or Santa Clause, but I think that's usually three hos.

Was this an early concept for your game?

In all seriousness, has teaming up with "a producer from The Simpsons" brought anything interesting to the game you wouldn't have had otherwise?

Also, isn't it generally agreed that there are 44 standard phonemes in English, with blends and diphthongs raising the number significantly? I ask because as a former ESL teacher, many non-English speakers have difficulty forming more complex sounds in English due to the sheer number and subtlety of difference. Does your game just address the 40(ish) ones produced by the 26 letters of the alphabet on their own?
