It's a fun game, just not a fighting game.

I'm more convinced that new Nightmare = Raphael. They have exactly the same size, same blond hair (and hairstyle we can see a bit), same piercing glance. He ingratiated himself to the Holy Roman Emperor as being a noble. (an attitude that looks like Raphael)

I wonder if the army we saw in the screenshot is Hilde's, she lost her kingdom.

For the relation Patroklos-Zwei, I understand better why they are next to each other in the Characters selection. And Viola who travels with Zwei is near Pyrrah, that's something interesting to note.

If it's a story mode like Mortal Kombat, I think that if we pick Patroklos we may meet half of the characters : Siegfried, Zwei...
And Pyrrah would meet the other half, she seems less lucky, meeting more darker characters like Tira, and she will certainly meet Viola whose role is very important in the story.
Pyrrah seems to be closer to Soul Edge, we can see her with Tira and may be manipulated by her (Tira gives to Pyrrah her mother's weapon) and meet Nightmare in future and maybe become the Soul Edge's owner.

But i'm thinking Viola would be here to save her for a mission, just as Zwei is with Patroklos on the other side. I think Viola and Zwei will be the link for Patroklos to meet her sister.

If Pyrrah meets Nightmare, then if he's Raphael, that would make sense for the Viola's big importance in the story. (She's next to Pyrrah and Raphael in the Characters menu, to me she's definitely Amy)

Yeah, I have a lot of inspiration just by looking pictures xD

To me it seems that we're going to have two opposing forces, quite like in Mortal Kombat. The "good" (i.e. Soul Calibur) vs. the "evil" (i.e. Soul Edge) characters. The story wouldn't be decent if everyone just fought on his on without any interaction between characters which follow similar goals. My only hope is that it won't be cheesier than MK.

Also, I still can't grasp how beautiful Tira looks in these grabs. I'd let her manipulate me anytime.

Well I do not expect a fighting game to have a decent story to begin with, much less soul calibur. You have played soul calibur before, you know there will be many cheese tastic moments XD.

Yeah, I know. But now that they let someone else write the story, at least I can HOPE. ;)
