Believe it or not, Shenmue III is set to launch in just a few short months, and today series creator Yu Suzuki took to the stage at the Reboot Develop Blue industry event in Dubrovnik, Croatia. If you’ve got an hour to spare, you can check out the entire Suzuki interview below, or you can scroll on down for our recap of some of the key points covered.

Suzuki started the interview by discussing some of his broad philosophies about open-world game design, saying he prefers to focus on player choice and the overall feel of the world, rather than size and exacting realism (perhaps a bit of a shot at Rockstar Games and Red Dead Redemption 2 there). Overall, the world of Shenmue III is being shaped by the development team’s strengths – for instance, one key dev is really interested in boats, so they’re a major part of the game.
