I disagree that Amy going after Raphael is a divergence. We know that Amy is the one who "rescued" Raphael originally, which is why she contracts the malfestation starting with SoulCalibur III and fully in SoulCalibur IV. She took him back home and nursed him back to health, and the part where Raphael was nearly killed was the ending of SoulCalibur II. Amy didn't just teleport into Ostrheinsburg Castle. She had to travel there, we just didn't see her journey,
It certainly does seem like Raphael is going to be given more focus for SoulCalibur VII, which makes sense, considering he is the "main character" of SoulCalibur II, in that it's his ending/story that was canon going forward into SoulCalibur III. If he's the protagonist for SoulCalibur VII, then it would follow that Amy would be the deuteragonist, much the same as the dynamic of Kilik and Xianghua. Her traveling companion is likely something that sets up Z.W.E.I., since his foreshadowing is conspicuously missing among the rest of SoulCalibur V events.
