Did he say what it originally was? And at what point in development did that shift? Because the KS says that Baisha has been moved to the castle section. I'm just curious how much more was planned beyond "Ryo loses to Lan Di and Niao Sun gets the Phoenix Mirror" as I'm assuming the Cliff Temple, the next logical place, was never on the table.Cedric confirmed it himself that the ending we got was not the one that was originally planned.
Events aren't paced out in isolation. I would look at it more as "when looking at the complete Shenmue narrative, what was all that business with the Red Snakes about, and why did they devote an entire game to it?" And I highly doubt S4 is going to provide an answer. It's like a filler episode of a TV series, only stretched out to an entire season. As if Breaking Bad had 5 seasons and in season 3 Walt and Jessie just stop everything and hunt a fly until the last episode where they run into Gus: even if the first 2 and the last 2 seasons were exactly as good as they are, that would not suddenly make the third season anything other than that weird one where they hunt a fly for no reason till the last episode.When looking at the complete Shenmue narrative (once all is said and done), what does it matter if an event happens at the end of one game or the beginning of another? It’s all part of the same story.
