What was wrong with Legendary Souls?
2B =).
It's just a glorified Arcade Mode but with AI beyond the highest difficulty with no real reward for finishing it other than saying you've finished it. Arcade Mode was already bad in SoulCalibur V, not having individual interactions/endings, but Legendary Souls was just next level icing on the cake. It would be an okay mode to have if the rest of the modes weren't already awful, but it didn't add anything to the table, really.
I feel like we're all just repeating ourselves now. There really isn't any mystery left, and Seong Mi-na was the last surprise. Hwang would have been equally surprising without Seong Mi-na being revealed, but now he's basically a shoo-in. Tira might have been surprising if Zasalamel wasn't revealed so early, and/or we didn't have leaks, but there's no way she doesn't make it in. Cervantes, Lizardman, and Inferno (as well as Astaroth) may as well have had reveals at E3, if they were going to be so blatantly shown. Raphael would be surprising if it wasn't so obvious that we're missing a rapier style, and they've beaten us over the head with that they're going for unique weapon styles as a priority. That fills all the slots.
Neither Hwag nor Mi-Na would be in if that was true, are they clones? No, well Mi-Na less so than Hwag, but their weapons are definitely not unique in the sense they meant or anyone in this thread often means.
As long as Mina doesn't borrow moves from Kilik (Seeing as she was first that statement feels absurd) then her weapon is completely different. It's an effing pole arm while Kilik weilds a fricken staff. The two weapons themselves are no where near the same thing or clonish to any degree. They only seem that way due to bad development at one point where they shared moves when they shouldn't in the first place.
Most people are ignorant to the fact that Mi-na played very differently in Soul Blade, most of modern Mi-Na comes from Soul Colibur where she and Kilik were worked in sharing quite a few moves, which is why a lot of her moves makes absolute no sense for some wielding a naginata, even her back story for that game says she trained under staff style. People are more on the look out for asthetics than functionality, again from a developing sense those two weapons are no more unique than Amy's or Cassandra's.
We've got those little blue circles on the bottom left and bottom right that scream submenus for CaS and Bonus Characters.
Oh my god no, that's where the characters were in the OLD TIMELINE! You literally have no idea where they will be now in the new one. You need to stop assuming things based on the old timeline.
Hwang was once a clone of Mitsurugi/Xianghua, but Yun-seong introduced a non-clone dao style to contrast Xianghua's jian style. Hwang borrowed from this in SoulCalibur III and was refined further in Arcade Edition. Now he's not a clone at all, much the same as Mi-na received delineations from Kilik in SoulCalibur III and SoulCalibur IV.
The new timeline is practically identical to the old timeline from what we have seen so far. I'm sorry that you can't logic and reason, but I'm tired of having this silly argument. There has been no reason given to believe that events will play out any differently than they did originally. This is a retelling, not a reimagining.
