Fu-ma's Shadow
It's been eight months and the next-gen is approaching. I've been thinking about where SCVII will go, and considering that Namco has reported their satisfaction with SCVI's performance, it's a safe bet that we'll get one. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if SCVII is in the early concept stages, or at least being discussed, at this very moment.
Why don't we make this the one place for all SCVII speculations and wishlists, until the day comes where the game is upon us?

To begin:
- First and foremost, please come out at a reasonable time. SCVI was hampered by internal drama, as well as Namco not having faith in the series. With the jolt of life being brought in, and Project Soul being unified under Okubo's lead, SCVII should hopefully come in 2021 or 2022, as opposed to 2025. That's the hope at least fingers crossed.
- The story should go in a new direction from where SCVI left off. Zasalamel's secret final chapter confirmed the nature of the reboot, and I would like to see how the setting diverges from what we know, and allows the series to continue in exciting ways.
- Higher budget. A main setback for SCVI was that it was made on a low budget, because Namco had no faith in it. Well, I hope with SCVII they'll be able to get a larger budget for more content in general and better production values. Speaking of which...
- Higher graphical fidelity. At the very least, I'd like it in native 4K, so we can get every fine detail of the beautiful environments, the scenic backdrops,
Taki's incredible ass, and just a better presentation in general. - More content. Yeah, this is a no brainer. More characters, more stages (we desperately need that), more things to do and experience.
- Improved CAS. It surprised me how little was improved in CAS outside the race selection (which seemed added at last minute) and all the items cut made it seem like a step back. I finally want face and hair sliders, you know, like any game with a respectable creation system?
- Better content DLC updates. The one thing SCV did better was that, for the short period it had DLC, it was regular and the communication was clear. I'd like something like that for SCVII's DLC.
- In general, just more of the Soulcalibur I love! I'm glad that we escaped SCV and that I can look forward to the future of SC once again. Whatever happens, I'm sure I'll be happy with the final product.
