Missing character discussion

Well, Destiny-Zero if I were to make a story to pitch for Talim for the next installment. It makes it a little difficult because I do not know the plot per say but here it goes.

I would start by going with the typical story that it is the story of two swords, eternally retold as always. Where is it different? The swords of Soul Calibur and sword edge are broken up into different fragments where every fighter in the series ends up coming upon a fragment. They all end up using the fragments in different ways to enhance their fighting prowess and end up fighting each other over fragments of the swords to complete the final sword and do something with them. The individual fragments that enhance fighting power would be directly involved with some sort of combat mechanic. I'll think more on that later, but Talim's fragments would be inside of the wind that guides her.

Instead of going for the typical endings of making the swords complete and then doing something though I would like to see different endings of some people actually combining the two swords into one sword, maybe deciding to keep the sword as fragments and other types of endings. All of this is more of a vague idea of what I would like to see.

In Talim's case she would be going around to collect fragments of both swords and having the spirit of the wind that guides her to "Purify" each one. Except when it is purifying each piece the wind is infact slowly corrupted and begins to guide Talim poorly. She follows blindly at first but eventually realizes what is going on and has to confront the wind that guided her and empowered her as the last priestess, but also as a strong willed human girl as she is now relatively powerless without the winds guidance. Key boss battle.

After winning, the of course non canon ending would be. While she has lost the guidance of the wind she now follows her own will. Talim wanders the world and finds the people who she hurt to obtain the shards and makes friends, even unlikely friends whom she had once harmed.

The cop out for the next story where she may return? After a time the wind calmed down and returned to it's normal, uncorrupted state. She could choose to listen to it or not, however it would now serve as merely a guidepost to her new, more confident self.

Anyway these are just my ideas from a fan.

You know one thing that game companies need right now is to look at web sites like this, where all game fans leave their commons about what they want for the game, it's great that you have a new idea, I'll try talk to them with all those new ideas you guys said ( if they let me join their meeting ). Thats why I like working in Anime companies more then game companies because Anime companies would take fan's suggest. But game companies even Blizzard won't take fans suggestion, that's why a lot of people were disappointed with Diablo 3 because it really suck. Some how game companies think they are genius on everything.... I'll try talk to them.

The irony of saying that when KOEI has been listening to fans ever since DW7, and Dienasty Warriors is widely popular in Japan.

Nothing wrong with fan suggestions, but don't rely more or entirely on it.
 
It is rather safe assume he was generalizing.

Why? This is, there may be bad ideas here, but if you really think it would affect the producers, you may very well think there are incompetent enough to have no filter, of what and what could be utilized.

Like what, exactly?

We should be aware of Namco's patterns when it comes to the missing characters, and i have a feeling that this series wouldn't be any different from Tekken as far as the time skip is concerned. Only in this series, guys are also affected (Yun-Seong, Rock, I guess Kilik might count since he's Edgemaster 2.0, Zasalamel), or have been for quite a while (Hwang, Li Long). At least right now they are affected until further notice, but still....Hwang and Li Long.

Tekken had guys returning left and right once Tekken 4 came along. The females only returned for Tag Tournament games.

What? No really, I mean it, what?
From where the hell came this reply?
When I said what and what not to use I meant the suggestions.

That reply was out of confusion from so many run-ons in your last post....English must not be your first language.

The second part....I was going to say that anyways.

Since when did you draw that implication from a five word exclamation? This thread has served its purpose like 5 pages back and beyond. Everything now to me is mostly words coming from someone who has no proof he's working for the company he claims he is and random claims like Talim might die like two pages ago or something. The most relevant post I've seen in a long time for this thread is from Jag, who misses Rock.

To me, I think this thread has pretty much served its purpose and should now Rest In Peace. (>V_V)

You guys sound like weepy housewives sometimes...

You wanna weep about something, do it for hot Siegfried who shall never be hot again. RIP, stud.

*coughbiseinenHACKcough*

As for the Rock thing, I do kind of miss him, but I'm hoping that the next game ends up including Bangoo; there's a lot of potential to expand into what Rock may have become if he stuck around, and that they missed that opportunity with V, which is kind of disappointing, to say the least.

this thread cannot die.

We must have an outlet for people who still bemoan the loss of certain characters, lest they start popping up other threads.

A necessary evil
 
I'm interested but I'm not interested at the same time.

Ultimately I just want a fighting game where I can play with my main characters, the more styles the better. Balance is important but "perfection" in balance is not really key to me. What matters most is that people have fun playing it first and foremost. Whatever that takes.

Instead of taking a serious direction on lore and story I think that whatever project is made should focus on reaching out to as broad of an audience as possible. This means the game should feel fresh, it should embrace the past lore and world but not be totally tied down by it. Whatever game comes next should not feel like it is simply a filler game between 4 and 5. This is just my two cents.

The most important thing is that fighting should be fun, moves should look kick ass, the flow needs to be smooth and in my opinion slightly faster than Soul Calibur 5. I work in the public and with the public often and when I ask them about Soul Calibur, most of them say. "Oh, I really loved that game. I played Soul Calibur 2." Or they say. "I played the one with the Star Wars characters." They actually forget the numbers after 2 usually. So it is probably a good idea to roll with "Lost Swords" We'll see though.

Oh, also while I know my opinion does not count, nor may yours honestly Destiny but I think that side stepping should be more effective in the next incarnation of Calibur. SC5's side stepping was practically ineffective compared to 4's and such. Of course I am also used to Talim who had her very useful wind-charmer dodge and came to depend on the effectiveness of it as a reactionary tool.

In a nutty shell though the next Calibur should emphasize, #1 more characters, #2 kick ass "Wow" moves, #3 faster, silky smooth combat.
 
I need my Amy back. Period.

(*Deep-Breath*) Here goes...

i-NEEDZ MAH-AMIEE-BAH'K NAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am aware of the life that she led however;she was an amazing character with a voice of a different era. She is very important to me; and is always there during every high and low point in my life. I miss her terribly. When I found out, I felt all the breath leave my chest. I knew it was going to happen someday but I never, ever thought it would be so soon.Amys character has inspired me and resonated with me in so many ways. Many people are ridiculing for her being mourned but no one is perfect and who am I to judge or make the decision that because PS did something to harm themselves their games is not as significant as the next man. I used to play as her dailyand have never had the pleasure of accepting Viola!!! I only ever wanted to see her get better and now I'll never have that....
