Yeah there is a reason I loved that game back in the day, I wish I could find a copy for a decent price.

That game hit the nail on the head for what I would like to see in the future of AI.  I love Skyrim and I will not say anything negative about it.  I will just say that imagine a game in that setting but where you only had to protect one village but the disc space was used to give every citizen a personality and life so you cared if you saved them or not and everyone of them could die in randomly generated events. Imagine how much you would replay the game trying to save your favorite characters and how invested you would be in the fate of that one village.

Shenmue was a work of art if you ask me and I would love to see more games take their NPCs in that direction.  In the end it's not the graphics that cell me on the game, it's the characters.  I mean the graphics date at some point but if I am drawn into the world I don't care.

Thanks for the interview link, that brought back some amazing memories of a great game that I have not been able to play in more then a decade.  You can tell everyone involved worked really hard on that game and even though it didn't appeal to everyone, I still think they deserve credit for trying to do something great and for the most part pulling it off.
