NPC Schedules

[Jigen]

Does anyone know if there is a resource that lists the daily schedules for the characters in Shenmue?

 

[DigitalDuck]

Just ask BlueMue or I.

As far as I know, no such resource exists - and it's not trivial to make either, as characters don't always have the same daily routines. For example, before travelling to Dobuita for the first time almost everyone is found in a different place than usual, and move around a lot less; during New Year celebrations several characters visit the shrine when they wouldn't otherwise; when Liu Sr. and Gao Wen appear they affect other people's routines too, and so on.

Thanks for the info.

All I know is, that Yuji can be a bastard to find.

The Europe release Prima Official Strategy Guide shows the daily routines for a selection of characters, for example -

If Ine-san is home all day, who buys the groceries?

I think they're delivered.

If you talk to Aoi or Yoshie at the grocery stand they often say they have the vegetables Ine ordered, and it's generally expected that Ryo would take them back (he never does though).

Ryo--you ungrateful piece of shit...!

Satoshi Shinoda, from Global Travel Agency - He seems like probably the most professional, predictable character of the series, with that smooth (the English dub) news-anchor voice and poise, but if you follow him after he closes (8 p.m), you'll eventually find out that he's a pervert! See for yourselves: It's like the Metal Gear Solid soldiers...

According to this Famitsu recent Shenmue anniversary article:

My memory is vague, but I remember laughing when I saw a strategy article in Weekly Famitsu that included a schedule that showed what the NPCs were doing at each time slot. Did you stalk each person to find out?

Does anyone have this Weekly Famitsu article? It would be cool to see
