Dick Phillips (ディック·フィリップス Dikku Firippusu) is a American sailor who works at the New Yokosuka Harbor District, Yokosuka, Japan in the game Shenmue.
Biography[]
Dick likes alcohol, but is not a very heavy drinker - nickname is "Red Nose Dick" because his nose turns red when he drinks. Once in a while, he is seen in Dobuita street, very drunk. He has been sailor for 12 years and serves aboard the same ship as Harry Thompson and the other members of the foreign sailor gang.
Shenmue[]
Ryo Hazuki can encounter Dick walking around drunk in the red light district of Dobuita at night (only during the evening hours of Disc 2 for the Dreamcast versions. For the game's re-release Shenmue I & II, it's during the evening hours from the point where Ryo first arrives at the harbor to after the chase with Jimmy Yan.) This triggers a Quick Time Event battle. If the player succeeds, he does a floor sweep to Dick causing him to walk away. If the player fails, Dick hits him in the back of his head with his alcohol bottle knocking him out. This will trigger a cutscene with Masayuki Fukuhara putting Ryo in his bed and allowing him to take it easy and rest. This battle can happen again if failed.
Dick is encountered again when Ryo works as a forklift operator at the harbor in two event battles with the members of the foreign sailor gang. He also appears when Ryo chases Tony Abrams and Smith Bradley throughout the harbor, if the player chooses to go after Smith when him and Tony split up. Smith ordered Dick to throw down a ladder to slow Ryo down, but it doesn't stop him from catching Smith.
Trivia[]
- If the player fails the first QTE during the QTE battle with Dick at the red light district, he will grab onto Ryo and beg him to have a drink with him. This scene will go on forever until the player presses the B button when prompted (Or Circle button for the PS4 version).
- When Ryo floor sweeps Dick when he succeeds the QTE battle with him in the Japanese version, Dick says "Shit!". In the English version, this was changed so he mildly curses by saying "Damn!".
- In the game's re-release Shenmue I & II, when the Japanese voice option is selected, he verbally says "Shit!", but the subtitles for the Japanese voices use the text present in the subtitles for the English dub, so it says "Damn!".
- A picture of 5 americans can been seen in room 201 of Hotel Niaowu in Shenmue III. Dick is among them.
