Okay, after playing it, I am extremely upset with what Namco did with this game. They brought in this plethora of new characters, brought in a new hero and (somewhat) villain, made a story mode, but neglects to tell ANY key-points since the last game. I can't enjoy a fighting game's story when it's based solely on speculation. I mean:
- What the hell happened to Cassandra, Talim, and Yun-Seong?
- How the hell do you introduce three new characters in the third game and keep only one (albeit, the best) in the fifth (i.e. where is Zasalamel and Setsuka)?
- How did Sophitia die?
- Is "Viola", Amy?
- Who the hell is Z.W.E.I. and is that suppose to mean something?
- And the big question: I thought Taki was suppose to "be in the game"; exactly where?
There's so many questions, and one of the best things about certain fighting games is how they make a good story work with the mechanics. But, when you have more questions than the end of "Lost", something needs to be done.
