I'm relieved that the Astral Chaos stage has two variants. I was a little disappointed when they showed a walled stage in the Nightmare vs Seigfried clip and then the walls were gone in the Xiba, etc's build.

Also I felt meh about the Cathedral like stage at first, but the more I look at the more beautiful I see it. The light is stunning and I only just notice that the windows have the new Soul Calibur and Soul Edge on them. It also isn't a lower level of the tower (As I originally though) because you can see the top of the tower through the gate.
 
I'm led to believe these new stages are the Tower of Remembrance from the "glory days" or restored to its former glory, and also that new Spiral of Time stage is also the background they use for the Character Select screen (I believe).

Nonetheless, these are so beautiful. (Also, the character references are nifty; I see Mi-na/Xiba, Sophitia/Pyrrha, Zasalamel, Hilde, and someone who is either Ivy/Yun-seong/or simply copying Edge Master's pose in the artwork)
 
Indeed, I see other users comment on SC 5 news saying that it looks boring, or uninteresting, and my initial reaction is to reach through the screen and slap them.
Everyone says they're not looking forward to it and it looks the same as SC4. I've played SC4 almost every day since it came out... SC4 hardly looks anything like SC5. It seems like they put a LOT more work in it this time.
 
As much as I like the designs of the new stages, I'm disappointed by the lack of more multi-tier stages. We've only seen two of them so far and we've seen at least over 2o stages. I'm hoping there's more of them; the Merchant Ship wasn't originally known as multi-tied. They might pull off the same thing for the stages we've already seen.
