Ah I remember that! Quite fun and I picked Talim with the profile name "AERO" at my College's Arcade of the game which unfortunately gotten taken away to somewhere I don't know many months after joining the College (I think it was about a year or 1.5 years before the school got rid of it). I still had to pay with quarters but it was a fun overall experience with the game and I've improved as a Talim player (though I main Mitsurugi now). Also wasn't there FOUR, not three nations to choose from? 'Cause I remember the colors red, blue, green, and yellow for each nation but I could be wrong.
I do hope they have something like that back with online player! Think of the fun that will be! ^_^
I honestly hope they're going to have at least one new character that dual wields swords with fast pace action and attacks! I love dual-wielding and they got it close with Algol and Shura, but not quite and Cervantes is a dual-wielder it's not the style I'm looking for. Something like Lloyd for the Tales Of series but unique to that character.
Well even if it doesn't happen I'll still get the game! I really wish I could've gotten the chance to play the original Soul Edge video game...
I'm hoping to see at least half or more of the original roster to come back, and if Ivy comes back (I never really was a big fan of hers) they might have to put more "less-revealing" clothes on her.
And I believe that Angol Fear won't be coming back either for obvious reasons if you think about leaving the last 3 Bonus Character as possible return to the series. It was quoted that "Shura won't be coming back" but never said the "Bonus Characters won't be coming back" which hints or possible suggest they would make a comeback... and please give them original styles, I loved them but they need fighting moves to define them.
Also do you think they'll add Dampierre in SCV? I wouldn't mind if he got included, he was such an interesting character!
