It's hard for me to choose between the first and second option.
It would be great to know how exactly Raphael and Amy got separated, for example. What happened to characters like Talim and Yun Sung among others that are "missing". I guess either way questions like that could be answered whether it be an extension of V's story or a fill in between IV and V. Depends on how they would wish to go about it I guess.
 
SoulCalibur V was a reboot, so it would be ridiculous to reboot it again.
I know some people think V was a bad entry but I don't, in fact I think it's superior to IV. The only bad thing is that it was rushed and a lot of content was missing but that's the publishers fault, the developers did everything they can and the result was pretty good.
Why did I bring this up? Well it's one of the main reasons we have this topic. I don't think anyone thought about rebooting Tekken after Tekken 3 ;)

Having said that, I think the way to go is a sequel. They need to retcon some of the stuff in V (especially story) but aside from that it's a good base to go from character wise. Keep only one version from each Alexandra. Keep only one mimic. Add new and veteran characters (4-6 additions).
F0r the story I think the way to go is multiple individual stories. One of them should be a retelling and continuation of the Alexandras' story with Nightmare, another covers the people journeying west (Maxi's group), one for Schwarzwind and maybe a catch all one for the rest of the veterans.

The rest are more personalized opinions:
  • Retcon Alpha Patrokolos, bring back Setsuka.
  • Make Pyrrah the new Nightmare, give her a mixture between her moves and his moves and replace her shield with a shield shaped demonic arm .
  • Make Kilik the new Edgemaster, give him a unique special move ala Elysium.
  • Introduce Bangoo, he should be in his thirties and his moveset should be mostly new.
  • Introduce Elysium as a Nightmare counterpart, give her Pyrrah Omega's moveset and a fully armored look.
  • Kick out Algol.
And about the modes just bring back everything that was in SC3.

Or knowing Namce they can take the easy money way out and just add the ~12 missing characters from SCIV with slightly updated models and call it a day "SoulCalibur Tag Tournament."

I think they should either continue the series or reboot it and call it Soul Edge 2.

I think that was Daishi's original plan, but it got shot down by Namco.

I think they should just do a update to SCV for now.

I agree bring back the all the old characters back. Make Setsuka Overpowered because she's the best character period and Hilde the worst character of all time because she nearly killed the franchise with her brokenness.

Your lack of common sense amuses me. Please continue

NO NO....let it go. I enjoy the ignorance of the ignorant.

I said those things because I was upset when Tira was overnerfed with Patch 1.02. Shining Decopon's win at EVO made so happy I wanted to show people what was truely broken or OP. SCIV Hilde was just that. That win made me remember how she nearly killed the franchise. I really don't want SCV Hilde to be overnerfed. It's just I don't like broken stuff like infinites coming from a character who had too many unfair advantages. ​
If Project Soul wanted to re-balance Hilde that's fine, but accidently give an infinite to a character who had unfair advantages is unfair and ruins their goal. So, I hope that broken stuff like glitches, infinites, whiffing & hitbox issues get addressed. Then, I'll have no problems accepting Hilde.​

SCV hilde has an infinite? Ive never seen it. Has anyone else?

Why you so hung up on SC4 hilde. We are SC5 now homes. Let it go and move the fuck on. Cause now you done sound like your a smart guy.

I disagree, ZWEI fills a niche and has a decent set of tools for creating pressure, they just aren't that solid on their own. Honestly, if I was more comfortable with him, I'd main him, but you need to make a couple too many reads with him for my liking in this game. =/
 
You mean any more than two reads is too many? I'm surprised you didn't main Hilde in the last game then.
 
In SCV, more than two reads is too many considering we've stopped blinking at 150-200 dmg combos, lol. And I did main Hilde in the last game. Why do you think I play SSFIV on the side now? More room for error.

I was referring to the casual aspects. I just think he looks stupid. And the wolf thing is beyond stupid. I liked Unknown much better, maybe because she was a sexy babe, but also, I think, because the wolf sprit actually looked like a spirit and not some weird moon robot.
