I agree with you on this one. FF6 was the first RPG I ever completed and still love it to this day. Seeing everyone help one another get out of Kefka's tower was awe inspiring to my 13 year old feelings.

I remember beating Shenmue 2 for the first time back in 2003 or so; getting to that cave at the end and having the game end where it ended left me with so many questions. I remember as the credits began rolling I jumped on my PC and started looking into when Shenmue 3 was coming out. At the time Shenmue still had it's own website and there was a broken link to Shenmue 3 on there, but nothing else. I researched for hours after that only to find that Shenmue 3 was supposed to happen, but nobody knew when. Not having any resolution at the end of the game drive me crazy and for over 10-years I rode at least half a dozen announcements and rumors with credible sources that Shenmue 3 was going to happen, but it never did. With Shenmue 3 finally being made I am really looking forward to finally getting out of that damn cave I've been stuck in for 15-years now.

A cliff hanger ending didn't soar it for you?

I didn't sour it, it just left me wanting a sequel is a bad way. In a way that ending is probably what kept interest in the Shenmue franchise alive and why he are getting a third game at all. It has been very hard to wait all these years though, especially with all the rumors and false starts with Shenmue 3.

In an interview the original creator wants to create 10 + shenmue games before the story would actually end wich is quite insane considering a few facts.

I personally highly doubt it will happen in his life time since we are only at the third game not to mention the time it costs to make each game if were looking at this third instalment and the age of the creator.

edit swapped the chapters and games around 11 chapters but in 4 - 5 games remembered it quite differently.

That still seems possible.

Yeah it was something like that. I believe the first game just covered chapter 1. Chapter 2 was the boat ride to Hong Kong which was never made, and chapters 3 - 5 were Shenmue 2. Yu Suzuki is on record saying that he thinks that there would need to be a Shenmue 4 to finish the saga completely, but I'm hoping that we get to at least chapter 9 with Shenmue 3. Rumor has it that there will be at least three chapters covered in Shenmue 3 to coincide with each of the main areas that are in the game. I really hope that it is profitable enough to mean a Shenmue 4 or they do in fact wrap it up in the third game; I don't know if I can take another decade and a half of waiting lol.

I'm gonna go with Shadow of the Colossus- becuase, like many others, I got really attached to that horse. I struggled a bit with the final colossus, which meant I had to keep replaying the cutscene where he falls into the ravine. It was torturous to watch him die over and over! Imagine my relief/joy when, after beating the game and seeing Wander's fate, I learn he's alive! That was a good moment. (Why yes, I am ignoring the fact that a leg injury on a horse that size will still probably result in his death later. Don't ruin this for me!)
