At what point was Miao Village in Shenmue II? Is it Bailu Village?

Love watching up with all the installments to this series. Great analysis and I can only imagine what more the recently prototype will add. Looking forward to it :)

What an amazing treasure trove of Miao village related dialogue has been found. Extra part (or more!) for this series confirmed!

Back with Part Seven of the analysis series! This one identifies similarities between the cut Miao Village and the recreation of Bailu Village as seen in Shenmue III, mainly on the visual side but there are also some similar story element parallels.

Yu Suzuki: There are villages called Miao villages that belong to an ethnic minority. Ethnic minorities like the Miao, Iyan or Kam inhabit villages in the interior region of Guilin. I'm creating Bailu Village with those kinds of villages in mind.

I didn't know that Yu Suzuki said that the inspiration for Bailu Village is the Miao Villages in China, nice to have confirmation about that.

It is beautiful to see that Yu Suzuki and the team put a lot of similar things in Shenmue III in relation to Miao Village, really nice. Beautiful analysis, thanks Switch.
