Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

Those are so pointless, they are a marketing ploy and are indeed needed, but otherwise, why bother?

EDIT: Talking about that Q&A, only the safe questions will be asked and maybe one will be a tease or something.
 
I expect the roster is decided and probably mostly finished and people "whining" about Talim this whole time was arbitrary because she was probably going to be included but people like the think they're the ones making a difference?

There's also a difference between showing support for a character and badgering a dev with questions they wouldn't even answer because of marketing reasons. They *know* people want Cassandra, for example. Doesn't mean they'll go "Yea lol she's in, in fact here's the full cast ex dee".

I'm not saying fans passion has zero sway and certainly it will have made a difference but, no Okubo isn't going to go to Gamescom and confirm/deny every single question about every character that everyone has. They clearly have their own ideas in mind about who to reveal and when, that's how marketing works.
I do agree with you but again Tekken roster was finished too and they still made a 2nd season pass thanks to the community, they managed to sell their game well enough to extend the development for one more year.

As for Talim I'm really not sure if she didn't made number 1 in that popularity poll I'm not sure she would have made it in, she would be on the same slippery spot that Rock Hwang/Yun Amy Setsuka Cassandra... are on. I mean she isn't that important to the story to have secured her self a spot on her own.

And we all know it's going to be 3 questions at max the others will just be the same question asked differently lol

I'd really like to see an Okubo interview where he isn't asked the same five questions. For the sake of my sanity, please no more:

"So why is SoulCalibur fun?"

"SoulCalibur is fun because you get to use a weapon. We tried to emphasize the feeling of using a weapon and how fun it is."

Actually, Kayane did an interview with him at E3, didn't she? I'm looking forward to that one.
She asked for 2B again I know that much she made him understand that she want her in.
And she forgot to ask about Amy during the interview.

There really ain't a whole lot of relevant questions anyone can ask about a game before its released. Only people who have played the game can discuss mechanics in detail. Otherwise its pretty much going to be character related.

God i really hope they dont put her in.
 
At this point i think the roster is already decided and fully made, i mean the base roster at least. But the DLC characters may not yet set in stone, So whining about X character can still make things happen, that's why time to time i like to mention Setsuka, just in case... y'know... some... Secret Namcop ... was ... around Kappa

I also it will be cool if Okubo can confirm 2P outfits at Gamescom.

Well, if we can’t ask the devs for info. We can at least ask the competitive players for opinions.

I would ask for what kind of improvements have they made to Creation Mode since SoulCalibur V, but that will be answered once they release a trailer for it.

So, for those who have played the game, like you @Party Wolf, what is your most liked and hated things about SoulCalibur VI from what you have played so far?
 
People say that whining can get you characters? Time to whine bout Ashlotte. Then I can further my agenda and try and get Valeria, Solnhofen, Durer, Revenant, Shadow, Phantasm and the 'malfested' peasant!

I'm hoping we get all the standard, regulars right away and those bonus characters later as DLCs. Or at least Valeria and Ashlotte. Maybe not so much the others.
 
It would be actually pretty interesting to reveal the 2Ps there, specially if a few of them were designed by guest artists, like get Sophitia and Mitsurugi 2P designed by the Witcher team, that would be cool.
 
I wish I were as influential as some players to ask for my dream guests :(

About the Q&A: too bad people keep on asking things they'll get answers for in less than two months when they could discuss story development, choices, reasons behind revamps etc.

As long as the guest artists aren't the hentai artists from LS >_<

I'd want From Software's artist to design Dark Souls themed tertiary outfits for the whole cast.
 
Honestly, one of my favorite Raph looks has always been:

If they updated that look, maybe with some disheveled bits, I think it would be a great blend of his character as a noble outcast while alluding to his later malefested/vampire destiny post nightmare fight.

It's funny because in the Facebook post, they just referred to him as a "well-regarded artist" without going into further detail. Like they were embarrassed to outright admit what he does.
I mean, if the magic Knight costume had more, ehrm, substance (was less... Fancervicey), I would have liked it, I really like the design of the greaves (knee down) and gauntlets. The rest... Not really so much.
Guess we're getting hentai costumes.

I own an xbox so i never played Lost Swords. I'm also generally not the type of person to be put-off by something like skimpy outfits. Ivy and Taki have always been fine with me. Just clicked the link and did an image search though and even i have to say that was a bit much.

Most liked: Revamped character specific mechanics and solid general mechanics
Most disliked: Ivy 2A+G
