surprize, surprize it was kilik the mimic. I'm not going to whine about how much I wish Edgemaster was the one and only mimic, but I will say It just looked and felt so right when Kilik started to mimic Xiba.
I'm a big fan of the series and the trailer blew me away. By the end of it, I was already on Amazon.com ready to pre-order.
My answer: Because it is Awesome!!!
Serious answer: The series isn't dead yet because it is making Capcom serious money.
This stage is gorgeous. The floor, the background, the floating rocks. Even Ezio's theme fits perfectly. Hopefully the actual background theme is a good.
Could the area that Siegfried and Nightmare are fighting on be a stage or the final stage? The first scene was on the moonlight stage and it seem Tira, Patroklous and Pyrrah cutscenes take place on the Free Imperial City stage.
I didn't know where to post this or even if this had already been posted, but here is a link to the translated screenshots from story mode that was release last month.
