Story! It matters.

If there was a Soul Calibur VI, prequel/sequel/reboot/retcon?

To be honest, I just want them to continue after SCV. Bring back some older character, give everyone their own story modes, and expand most characters move lists and I'll be as happy as can be.
Throw in a few modes like Weapon Master, Team Battle, and Survival and I just may shit rainbows.

Doing a prequel to SE is a pretty cool idea. The parents of the previous SC characters can be introduced which gives PS a reason to improve and expand the SC3 guest character styles.
Why not a prequel to SE and a sequel to SCV? Nah, that's be too much to handle at once.

We need to keep Ziggy Pop. Siegfried's too cool.

Correction, Siegfried was not the main character in Soul Blade. Pretty much everyone was during that time, but Cervantes got the most attention.

I would like a sequel. But where they showed the other half of the casts story during this 17 year skip. Seeing the ending to that Algol Rugi fight would be awesome. Actually learning something about Viola. Maxi and his journey to help save Kilik. And Voldo creeping around serving his "Master" . All of this would be epic to see but nope. They just tell us the basics and say naaah. Were going to follow Pat through a 30 minute story to save his annoying whiny sister from a Nightmare who uses politics to kill people instead of just stabbing them with a sword. Oh did we mention that the youngest character from the last game(Talim) and the eternal black man(Zas) Are not around after this time skip?

(Edit) I think a Prequel to SC5 would be better story wise to show the time frame during the transition into 17 years. I'd hate to digress because it wouldn't feel like we are getting anywhere and have to wait for SC7 to continue on but it could go into greater detail of the childhood of The alexandra children and show the events leading up to SC5 thus give them a second chance to develop.. Or they could do that anyway but not focus on Patrolklos and Pyhra... OR they can go on with Pyrha being evil and the next game shows how the other characters in background react to the events and murders caused by Pyrha.

You're right, that would be a good idea. I'd like either, I suppose.
Either way, I just want to know wtf is up with Raphael/Nightmare. XD
OH YEAH!!

Raphael could be Nightmare or there might just be a coincidence. I mean, if you look back to SC2, No one knew who Nightmare was until it was revealed it was Siegfried and even before then. So, there could be a chance that Raph could be NM, and could have someone break that spell...just saying.

It was Soul Blade that showed how Siegfried became Nightmare's host, but during that timeframe, players didn't know if their Edge Master endings were canon or not.

I wanted Hilde's dad be nightmare, the set up was much more solid for it to work and it would get Hilde more directly involved with the story and hes a king. (Thus Patrokolos can work for him as an elite or something.. they wouldn't need that random Dumas character.) I don't really see what rapheal would accomplish as Nightmare over being a vampire. As nightmare he isnt even Rapheal. Speaking of that, how can he be nightmare if he's using sigfried's old style. Doesnt Soul edge change into the host's best style? Nightmare isnt a fencer. I honestly dont want that to happen. We need to get the background characters into the main story now, even ship Hilde and Sig if we have to.

I would have loved to see Hilde's father become the new Nightmare. I love Hilde a lot but they haven't done much with her other then helping Siegfried reclaim his honor. I want to see more of Hilde in battle situations. :D

Hilde's daddy would be fine as NM, but I honestly do hope that it is Raph (provided that he remains in the game as his smexy fencer self) because I'm happy to see him take a larger role in the story again. Especially with Viola in the mix... It would make Raph one of the most important characters, which would kick major arse in my opinion.
Of course, I would like to see Hilde take a more prominent role as well. And this "sworn ally" BS needs to end. Everyone knows Siegfried and Hilde are a little closer than that. Yes, I'm shamelessly shipping them. XD

They can do whatever they want with the story as long as they remove JG (so frame advantage matters) and remove CE (90 damage punishes for being -13? Invincibility frames? Wtf. Lol). More stage variation would be nice too. I like the stages in SCII and SCIII. They were always interesting to look at. Maybe lower the overall damage of the game too. Not by much but at least enough to where people don't die for getting hit 3-4 times. Just make sure it isn't as low as SCIV's overall damage.
As far as story goes I'd like to see Hilde have a bigger role and see Siegfried get replaced by someone that isn't as big as him. Hopefully a female. If the replacement was female she would have a smaller hitbox and would most likely be faster because PS loves the females to be faster than the males.

Not to mention his diplomatic, intelligent skills while having a thirst for blood. If Raphael does turn out to be Nightmare, that would be the best Nightmare has ever been.
However, I also agree that Hilde needs a better role in this game. Even in her debut I knew that she had great potential.

Definitely agree on Just Guard, though I don't think CE are too over the top considering meter management into the equation. I usually don't even use them much in favor of using multiple BE attacks. Of course, I wouldn't really care all that much if they were removed (especially since the general reception of them seems to be negative). As long as more BE moves were added.
SCII and III had great stages, but I thought so did SCV. My only complaint is having two raft stages. The only SC game I've played that I've been unimpressed with the stages was SCIV, though I did like the hall of the warrior god and... whatever the stage was called that had the mammoth frozen in it.
Also, I agree on the lower damage point. As I'm sure most do.
I guess I could live with Siegfried being replaced, but I don't prefer it. He's too badass. I'd prefer instead if they gave him some quicker frames, gameplay-wise, and fleshed out a new role for him story-wise. I think Patty's mentor that teaches him how to be a badass.
And Hilde's lover.
Dammit, I did it again!
EDIT:
Could be a coincidence. That's what I want to find out. XD It is kind of funny that it was Raphael that sort of broke Siegfried out of being Nightmare, which is where his life went from crappy to hell on ice (damn right it's a musical). I just sort of wonder what's going to happen with the whole thing.
I agree with JG being removed. Just let frame advantage/disadvantage flow normally. Like Habast, I don't think CE is too much. They require a lot of meter and most of them are very unsafe on block. If they were to be removed, I wouldn't mind.
Lol Raph used to be the fastest male until they slowed him down.
Edit: Yeah Raph's life became hell after he gave Siegfried his life back. Raph deserves some form of compensation. Turn him back into a human again?? PS could replace his vampire throw with some kind of fancy stabbing and slashing frenzy.

I also agree with removing CE's altogether, its kinda the obvious thing that makes SC5 not like SC anymore. I actually think thats unnecessary bonus damage. SC has enough maneuver ability without cutscene based assists.(it also doesn't fit a 3D-pseudo realistic real time fighter considering its kinda easy to spam for free damage)
