I mean, I feel like anyone who thinks someone 'should just wrap-up the story' really doesn't understand how story writing works.
"Yeah, it's really simple. Just remove all these really important narrative points, remove these characters, trim some of this fat and just force an ending half way through your story. Simples"
Or my favourite one I saw on Facebook a few months back was "no, I'm not saying Yu Suzuki should butcher his story. I'm saying just make the game super long. He should act like he's making Shenmue 3, 4, 5 etc and just make one super long game."
Anyways, he has already said Shenmue 4 won't take anywhere near as long as Shenmue 3 because they've got a core team in place and it will be built on the same engine, so they have already done much of the legwork getting used to the engine.
