I mean kind of not really? I do continue to hope we get back to the events of SoulCalibur V in some way, shape, or form, particularly for Raphael, Amy/Viola, and Z.W.E.I.’s story. I want to know if they still had design notes from back then to actually make it happen this time so we can solve that mystery. I do also want to see Natsu have a second chance like Setsuka just got, seeing her origins fleshed out and her tutelage under Taki would be something I’m quite interested in....surely you have a thought or two about something you'd like to see happen that could not have happened in the original story because of the course events took therein?
About Hwang, it was implied in what I said that there would be new ground covered, as we only really have a tiny bit of actual Hwang lore as it is, since he predates the games actually trying to even halfway take its story seriously to have a narrative to begin with. I’m hoping that Hwang is given a fair shot at existing and continuing to exist moving forward, and not left behind in obscurity with Li Long. They’ll have to add some new hooks to his story to compete with the length of the Setsuka/Mitsurugi story we just got, and I can’t really see them walking back to make a shorter story, as they’ve been progressively making longer stories as they’ve gone along.
Beyond SoulCalibur VI, though, I would also like to see Dampierre and his gang actually exist and be fleshed out instead of Dampierre being a joke character with only allusions to his underlings. We could see a berth of new styles from them, perhaps, so they’re more than just comic relief. If handled properly, I feel they have some unrealized potential.
Depending on what they plan on doing with Grøh and the Aval Organization going forward, that opens a lot of other opportunities for new plot beats Azwel, and I mostly wonder if they’ll have pages in everyone’s story eventually, since I still think them working with Wolfkrone was a bit unexpected, anything could happen really.
I guess beyond all that, though, I’m just not really a storywriter. I enjoy and get immersed in stories that others tell, and will enrich myself in all the lore if I’m super interested in it, but making stuff up myself? Not really my strong suit.
