Turn Your Voice Into The New Game.

I'd personally like to see the return of old characters. They don't need to be part of the story, just make them bonus characters like in SCIII. Or if you can't do that, can we at least have them as CAS-only playsyles? (SE-Taki, SC2-Yunsung, SC2-Ivy, Berserker, Assassin, Necrid and Spawn [minus the flying] come to mind.)

I'd also love it if you include as many of the classic costumes as you can as CAS pieces, even if it's DLC, with the crossdressing option like in BD. And while on the note of CAS: If you decide to keep the Armor Breaking system, please have the armor appear broken, instead of disappearing in custom armor sets. Also in relation to CAS: I'd like it if you would consider each weapon once again having their own unique attributes like in SC2.

Third, the Museum Mode. Battle Theater, Character Katas, Weapon Museum and Voice Library would also be appreciated. Also the option to save replays, larger channels, and a larger variety of stages. Oh and the return of Soul Charge. You could even use part of the Soul Gauge to charge it.

Lastly (Although this is more of a personal gripe, if anything), can you please turn the fan-service of the female characters down a notch? It was fine when it was just Ivy, but seeing Taki, Setsuka, and especially Sophitia with jiggiling DD's the size of their head just doesn't look right. Can you shrink them back to normal size (except Ivy)?

If this truly is going the last Soul Calibur game, then give it your all to make it your best! Although gameplay always comes first, it's the little things that work wonders.

EDIT: I have one last suggestion, and I might get flack for this, but I feel this needs to be said. Kill the cast! There are too many characters in the game that are just there for shits and giggles and don't really do anything.


Now, I don't mean to give the game all new characters with a couple of the classics just to remind us what the hell we're playing (ala SFIII). What I mean is that in order for the series to move on, some characters actually need to die. In fact, that could be the focus of the new game, the aftermath of the battle between the two swords. A tribute to those who shed blood, if you will.


  • As to how to implement this, here's an idea. First of all, for character's who wandered game to game accomplishing nothing in relevance to the game's plot (Yun-Seong, Astaroth, Amy, Seong Mi-Na, Maxi, Mitsurugi, Taki, Setsuka, Rock,), kill them. And to avoid the backlash of having their favorite character unplayable, make these "dead" characters available for purchase like in IV, AND have their story reveal how they died. Y'know, in a gone but not forgotten-type thing.
  • Second, story. Make this game a time skip like the old ones, that way, all of these "deaths" would make more sense. Here's my idea of the setting in 5... If Siegfried wins Fuck that. Siegfried CAN'T win. If he were to win, that would end the series as a whole, since Soul Edge was the whole driving plot. Without Soul Edge, there is no Soul Calibur and vise versa. So here's my SCV story in a nutshell...

  1. Rock is killed by Astaroth. Bangoo ventures to find his father and takes Rock's place in the series.
  2. Ivy's "story" in IV was complete and utter bullshit! "Sword wishes me to live", my nutsack! Ivy's soul is absorbed by Cervantes and she fucking dies.
  3. Setsuka gets slain by Mitsurugi and before she perishes, she does that whole "my blade is crying" crap from her ending in IV and kicks the bucket.
  4. Raphael get's killed by Zasalamel. Amy goes super emo and kills herself upon finding his corpse.
  5. Mitsurugi, Voldo, and Lizardman do nothing like always do.
  6. Tira's dead. Nightmare killed her and absorbed her soul, you saw it happen!
  7. Nightmare kills Siegfried and absorbs his soul. Yun-Seong witlessness and flees home, finally realizing the sword is evil.
  8. Hilde confronts the weakened Nightmare and destroys the physical manifestation of Soul Edge, not the sword itself, the shell. Hilde collapses from injuries.
  9. Both swords are severely weakened.
  10. A game of Flaming Hot Potato of Death with the two swords is engaged.
  11. Cassandra takes Soul Calibur and attempts to use it to destroy Soul Edge, stopped by Sophitia because without Soul Egde, Phyrra dies.
  12. Maxi takes the evil sword. Kills Astaroth. Soul Edge tries to take him over again. Kilik once again buttfucks Maxi with his staff to save him. Maxi asks Kilik to bury him with his crew as a final request. Maxi dies.
  13. With his would-be butt buddy dead, Kilik spirals into manic depression and mourns over Maxi's death. He shuts Xianghua out completely for fear of killing her like he did Xianglian.
  14. Xianghua grows a pair of balls and knocks some sense into Kilik.
  15. A bunch of shit happens.
  16. Cervantes takes hold of Soul Edge and the whole game more or less reverts back to the original Soul Edge game.
I still have some kinks to work out, but you see where I'm going with this, right?
 
Hey man, I just read somewhere on these boards again that there's some rumor you dudes are thinking of ending the franchise after Soul Calibur 5. I'm tired of hearing these unfounded rumors. I don't understand why that would be since you have a following and sales in regards aren't shabby. I'm sure if you can balance out the characters, this franchise can overtake most others. I've played them all and I've mastered many and nothing compares to your work.

1) Please try to balance out the characters as best you can.
2) A side scrolling adventure strictly tied to rich and well written stories where characters embark on various different missions. If you guys need help in regards stories let your fans know, we can help.
3) Dynamic weather as 'ifiction' mentioned. Everything from rain, hail and snow to wind and sand blowing to and fro. ;)
4) In depth customization along with the choice to customize your characters weapons, stance and moves (that would of course make our characters that we create from the many females in the game less gay). I understand for the moves that would be seriously tricky since its restricted to weapon type, but you know, see what you can do. Allow facial customization. The More we can customize the better.
5) Have this game portable ready for the NGP.
6) The return of Ashlotte. She's just such a smart, cute, little creation of yours.
7) try to reduce the difficulty levels of the timed moves. I'm a huge fan of Setsuka and I still can't pull off (at will) most of her advanced moves.
8) A new boss that isn't necessarily over the top in design yet dark and grim.
9) Make sure the training mode is not as frustrating as that of Broken Destiny's The Gauntlet. Frustrating and boring, if you don't mind my honesty.
10) Also add a plain old fashion medieval sword wielding hero or a tomahawk/axe wielding badass that fantasy readers can relate to. I know we have Siegfried but his sword is a little too big. A character out of Lord of the Rings, if you know what I mean. Heck, why not include the main characters from Lord of The Rings as Cameos along with an Urukhai? I would love to be able to create some of the characters I read in many fantasy books in this game, so make sure if you do introduce a cameo that fits the description, please allow us to customize him. After all, what other video game can we fantasy readers relate better to than Soul Calibur?

Enjoy the process and keep us informed.
Any idea as to when you might launch the game?
I'm impatient already!

Love your work dudes
 
Reduce movelists. There are lots of moves for each character that are useless because they are too unsafe, or there is a better move that does whatever it does. Confuses novice players.
 
I'll say what I said from other thread.

+ I was thinking tira should have a gauge meter so Jolly/Gloomy stance can be manually activated, for example doing certain things would charge the gauge like GI, JI, do combo's, counter hits, breaking throws, taunting, and if her health is low enough it charges on its on. Lastly for gods sake all her good moves are in gloomy stance - they don't have to make all the good moves kill herself especially 6666:B (Sorry if i said that wrong I haven't played SC:IV in a while)​
​
+Bring back soul calibur 2 Talim and, assassin. What was wrong with having 2 Yun-seong's? Theres Asthroth and, that other guy - Sophitia, cassie, and Lizzy - and, Kilik and, Seong mina. Assassin was just my personal favorite, and I think with a little background he would have made a solid character in the story. No more create a character please.

+ and return some old modes from Soul calibur 2 and, Three
