Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

Since it looks like they're reusing costumes/armor from previous games, I wonder if people would be okay or PO'd if the 2 armor sets from you get from the season pass were the same "White Knight and Black Knight" armor set from SCV's collector edition.

Kind of petty, but I kind of feel like not anxious or eager or anything just by looking at the items. It feels to me that CaS might be more or less the same as V’s going by the items. But do the ladies look lower res to any of you? Or maybe I’m trying to curb my enthusiasm. I mean I’m not even worried about characters as much. Concerned with Cassie, Lizzy, and Sophie all having the same weapon types. We already saw just about all the stages too. It feels like after V there’s not much to be really eager about. I mean it looks fabulous and we’ve yet to see beyond equipment, let alone slots. But content looks like it may be limited. And DLC we don’t know about seems awfully suspicious.

There I go again worried about Tekken 7 seeping into this lol.

If the character customization is equal to SoulCalibur V, without any parts missing, also adding the parts from SoulCalibur IV, with all the 1p/2p costumes available from the get-go, not locked behind DLC and/or incomplete, then I'd already consider it a success, to some degree. If it backpedals, like Tekken 7 did, then that's a negative. SoulCalibur III parts would also be nice, too, and obviously they should add some brand new parts. But if the DLC parts, be it from season pass or preorder bonuses, are only things we've already seen before, it's not very inspiring that we'll see advancement... but then again, maybe that's what they want us to think, and they'll really wow us with something new and exciting when the time comes. Only time will tell, but keeping expectations low probably would be for the best.
 
I harp on it since it’s the gimmick that kept me on SCV as well as the satisfaction of seeing the characters in my head kind of come to life. I suck online too.

Let’s hope there’s a single player mode.

Still, the individual stories are a good start.

Maybe the newly-added corner characters are instead unlockables and don’t have a story. Or we could just get No Campaign for The Wicked (removing completely evil characters from the story since in canon they’ll keep getting their asses kicked)

That wouldn’t be fair because Geralt is there.

Just want to know what the exclusive mode will be. “Battle Type” really interests me.

Maybe we can see the main menu again in some gameplay videos?

One downgrade I’d accept is the handling of the layers. I’d hesitate to choose separate undershirts and underpants over floaty items like in V. Besides there were too many incompatibilities. Maybe undergarments can be only slightly loose. Note how Kilik and Zas seem to have a different set of pants with their lower body equipment destroyed.

Also it’s a big draw to the series so hampering with it in a bad way would not be cool.

The CAS "stage" in 5 was probably just to make it easier on the thumbnail editor. Since there probably won't be thumbnails in SC6 I guess they're going back to showing stages
 
True. We know we could expect similar items. Let’s hope they only build from what they’ve established.

It seems 5 dots are the highest number. Of course it makes me worry not everyone may get a story. Could just be the jobbers. Since how are you supposed to give depth to a gimp/Gollum thing and a swole Geico mascot?

Also Maxi’s dots ending early and having to be a central character if Kilik is a protagonist makes me think he’s gonna die again.

Another thought I had is that with Harley Quinn’s rise in fame and how similar Tira is, I wonder how inspired by the latest depictions our Cirque du Soleil reject will be.

And ShareFactory should help make getting glamor shots of your customs easier now. I need my (terrible) art references.

Since items are probably the same maybe we can finally choose facial hair or make completely glowing eyes. Why let eyebrows be an option yet not allow us to choose a goatee or whatever?

Also wondering about the voice actors for customs. I could hear Kira Buckland as the Serious equivalent and Ian Sinclair for the Male Reliable Leader counterpart.

Anyways if we can choose stages as the background in CaS, hope that the amazing music we’ve been playing plays instead of a repetitive CaS theme.

The timeline in the Story video we saw earlier had fewer characters than the screenshot story timeline. So it's possible that even it isn't the finished product and more characters could be added, or may have even been added since the screenshot was taken. It's not necessarily from the most recent build.

If the fourth character is only obtained by buying the SP and can't be bought individually, nobody is ever allowed to say Capcom or anybody else is greedier than Bamco again.

This is an incorrect statement. While it's not the same as holding a character to season pass only, DoA is definitely far greedier regardless after the amount of DLC for DoA5, not to mention it being re-released multiple times. Need I also point out that they held costumes exclusively for season pass holders, which I'm sure someone out there probably bought at least 1 solely for that 1 costume and nothing else? There are plenty of companies with worse practices than that, though it's not exactly a great one. It could be a lot worse, though.

That aside, hyped and can't wait. Already pre-ordered the Collector's Edition. The roster's looking great, Inferno looks badass, gameplay is great, graphics getting polished over time... For the most part, I don't see anything to worry about. Although if the page swapping theory with those dots on character select is true like I hope, then maybe no one will have to worry about loss of their mains, which would be nice.

But, something a lot of us are craving... Hopefully eventually an open beta? Anything to avoid any stability issues.
