Shenmue emotion chart

[wataro]

From the http://www.phantomriverstone.com/2018/06/part-12-15-secrets-of-shenmue-1999.html?m=1 switch san translation

"For Shenmue, the emotional state of the player was simulated by creating an Emotion Chart. This supplemented the scenarios which were adjusted multiple times".

I really hope this graph is going to be in one of the kickstarter vintage grab bags as I would love to know the developer insight to how they think the player should feel and my own feelings

Anyone have any info or a better resolution image?

I slightly remember reading about this. Would be very interesting to see how they felt the player should feel at certain points, and if actual feelings or emotions lined up with those predictions.

I'd also love to be able to examine the chart more closely. A photo of the same emotion chart can also be found in the Shenmue "art booklet" from the 1998/99 premiere but unfortunately it's just used for aesthetic appeal and the content is as indistinct as the one above (I'd say it was the same source).
