Japanese offical artbook & guide .. Cassandra, Korean, Setsuka, side story

Here's the concept art with the half naked guys which is for... something. Zasalamel is one of the characters so I guess it was made for SC4.

I got a friend of mine to translate the story stuff about Cassandra. Here's a very very rough translation: Cassandra is mad at some god after she discovered Sophitia's daughter was infected by the blood of Soul Edge, so she goes on a journey to try to destroy the sword. During her journey she encounters Sophitia who refuses to let her continue. They fight and Sophitia knocks her out. When waking up, she's in weird looking place, in what looks like a different dimension. Cassandra finds Sophitia unconscious in a room in the castle they're in. But before Cassandra has time to do anything, the weird dimension environment engulfs her. After that everything turns to normal, and Cassandra is nowhere to be seen.

So yeah. I dunno. D: I guess this is Namco's way of saying "So yeah, we have absolutely no idea what to do with this character, but now we have a way of making her return without aging by saying she was in a weird dimension for a little bit."
 
I don't understand why would they make all of these if the 3D models don't have these dimensions anyway and in the promotional artwork all of them have significantly larger breasts. You can see this best with Tira as ingame she is a large B cup, here is stated as a D cup (the drawing looks like a C cup) and in the promotional artwork she has something that looks like an E cup.
 
btw Viola is thinner than Leixia and Talim... her drawing looks so half-assed too.

anyway, yes. these are very much off. There's no way in hell that a European person with an 82 circumference at 165 cm of height is a D cup. The drawings are larger than the cup they've stated but ingame the breasts are smaller than anywhere.
 
why are amy and viola both in the same scale. O_o hmmm? no one else is one there twice if viola and amy are the same person. i'll leave it at that. XD i personally think Viola is like Amy's long lost sister or something.

and i'm glad i finally got to see what happened with Cassandra. (Even if it was a half baked story). i guess i can look forward to seeing Cassy later on if the Soul series doesn't die with SC5.
 
Hi everyone, I've just found this thread.

I may help in translating some stuff. Recently bought the strategy guide, but unfortunately still don't have the New Legends book. :( If You are all willing to wait a while (probably around 3 weeks: getting the guide, work and general lack of time, translating etc) I can translate the important parts (translating the whole 200-page book is out of the question, at least in one go).

If there are people interested in my contribution, please let me know exactly which parts (or which characters) You want me to cover first.

If there is someone else already working on it, also let me know, so that I won't waste too much time on things already translated.

ok, waiting for some feedback
cheers!

edit: community wishlist
- Yun-Seong and Seong-Mina
- Xiba's parents
- Tira's story confirmation
- Talim
 
Some more quick info:
-Only picture of Setsuka is a small picture (from SC3 I think) on Alpha Patroklos' page with some lines of text. Probably explains how Patroklos' got his style from her. Doesn't look like there's more info about her.

-I see no pictures of Talim, Zas or Rock. It's possible there isn't anything written about them.

-There's a small box with some info about Hwang, Yun-Seong and Mina. Might explain what happened to them.

-There's a substantial amount of text about Xianghua and Taki.

A few more photos. It's difficult taking high quality photos from the book. But well, anyone who wants to see the entire artbook in high quality should just buy it anyway.
