So recently I bought a copy of SC4 after having traded in my original one years ago. It really rekindled my love of the game and of my favorite characters (Ivy Valentine, Siegfried, and Yoshimitsu). I pre-ordered 5 and just recently found out two new things about the upcoming next installment:
1. The game will start a new plot line, featuring Sophitia's kids 17yrs older (17yrs has past between 4 and 5) and ready to fight
2. Ivy is not just in it, but also ageless thanks to some unidentified magical force (most likely due to her cursed blood since her biological father stopped aging too).
Now, I'm jizzing uncontrollably over this, but check this out: It seems as though this game would never have been made were it not for the head guy turning to the fanbase in Twitter (I think. It was some social website) and for the numerous fans echoing the same sentiment he did:
WE LOVE SOUL CALIBUR!!
So, what do you guys/gals/transgendered Calibur lovers think? What do you hope for in the new sequel (which apparently was meant to be Soul Edge 2, but was made to be Soul Calibur 5 against the aforementioned head-dude's desire)? Do you have high hopes, or are you apprehensive about it?
Are you put off by the fact that Talim will probably be an adult and/or Sophitia might not be in the new installment?
Speak up! It's what saved Soul Calibur, after all!
