It's basically an exact replica of the SC universe, except that they are the only people there (anyone else they interact with is merely the product of hallucination), no one ages (actually, that one seems to be prevalent in SCV anyway...) and death is impossible. So I suppose it's a bit like Valhalla.




Oh god, what have I started? :P

Viola would definitely make the worst doctor though: "I don't care whether you live or die"

Do you really think someone that juts doesn't care would be worse than Tira though? She'd just kill him T_T

That depends on which personality is dominant at that particular moment in time. If it's the Gloomy side, she'll probably kill him quickly and get it over with. If it's the Jolly side, she'll probably draw it out a bit more and... yeah.

I'm thinking multiple stories following a group of characters would be better.
For example Maxi's group (Leixia, Natsu and Xiba) should have only one story since they are travelling together and their stories are interwined in a way. I imagine their final boss would be Kilik who would reveal that Leixia and Xiba are brothers.
Another example would be a Schwarzwind story.

Yeah I can agree with that. With Natsu she may need her own because of Taki being gone and there were questions unanswered.

It's okay, just because they are a group doesn't mean they can't focus on each one individually for a while. They can have a chapter or two focusing entirely on her.

I just hate the idea of a babysitter club just seems too much like Inuyasha, not to mention Leixia and Xiba are idiots and Maxi's worthless. None of these characters can grow s they are and Natsu has the potential but always destracted by Leixia's prominent stupidity. Seriously what have they done to soulcalibur?

You really believe that?

I don't think you really grasp them.

Xiba is Malnourished, I get that.
Leixia is Glitter and Sparkles I get that.
Maxi is Adult Supervision, I get that.
Natsu is the irrelevantly-hip-with-the-modern-age-very-needed-character, I get that clearly.
 
I don't think SC is in a hopeless or even desperate state, story-wise. Changes need to happen, obviously. But we don't anything too overly-drastic, such as a reboot of the entire series.

I want a Tales of Souls, SC3 styled, for each character (not just Patty) that's more in-depth than even 3's. And I want the characters to interact a lot more. As a Raphael fan, I was seriously confused about his story in SCV. Is he dead? Is his body Nightmare, while the playable Raphael is his spirit still wandering the land in search of his daughter? Or is he just bat-sh*t crazy? Also, what's up with Viola? Is she Amy, or is this some retarded "lost twin sister" crap?

I don't expect the story to be amazing, it's a fighting game after all. But I want there to be a little more explained in-game, and the ability to play through each character's story individually.
 
Stop complaining about the story, dammit!
The story's great, and we'd like it much more if we get to know what actually happened to all the characters in SCV.

Even though I may be getting ahead of myself.

Xiba=Annoying, sure, but I feel like the whole "extreme hunger" things will be a foreshadow of what is yet to come. If Project Soul figures this out by now, maybe it could turn into something interesting. Gruesome at most (mmmmm Souls).

Leixia=She's young, and extremely grounded (Blame her mother). She's just excited to finally get outside of the palace and see things, so I can understand her peppy personality. The only problem is that she has only seen the good things, as seen in the story mode, but I would like for her to see bad things and see how she handles it. Some things she would have to learn on her own. Path to adulthood I would say.

Maxi=Well, you did get that one right. One thing I would like to see is his involvement in Japan at least, since that is where he is from, and during this timeframe, historically, Ryukyu is against Japan.

Natsu=She's basically a Setsuka-esque character, with Taki's style, and Seong Mina's personality. Not a bad thing though, but the whole bodyguard thing could be of some use. Arahabaki should serve some importance as well in future installments.

I just see them having great potential to improving, since this is their debut, except Maxi of course.

I'm not complaining about the story. Somebody didn't read closely enough... I love SC's characters and its story/theme. It's not amazing, as I've said, but it is good. And it could definitely be great with some work, if PS was willing to put in some elbow grease.

I actually like the story enough that I'm writing a short novel following Raphael's story SCII-V, lol.

The reason he's always hungry is because food doesn't satisfy his hunger, he hungers for souls.

None of them really bother me. What bothers me is that they're overdoing the fantasy part of SC with Zwei and Viola.
