Soul Calibur director is up to something, tweets about the series

GN Version 3.1

The following comments come from SoulCalibur director, Daishi Odashima…

- “I think the title “Soul Edge” suits the game more than “Soulcalibur”. Other than SC1, the story always revolves around Soul Edge. Plus everyone seems to like Soul Edge better than Soul Calibur. It’s something I was thinking from a while back.”

- “It looks stronger and the design’s cooler. Especially the eye.”

- “I didn’t think SoulCalibur would become a numbering sequel. Thought it would change from Soul Edge > SoulCalibur > Soulxxx etc… Soul Edge (Soul Blade) was about Soul Edge. SC1 was about Soul Calibur. SC2 was about Evil Calibur. The rest is all about Soul Edge.”

- (in response to a fan asking if Odashima considered retconning the SoulCalibur franchise) “No no. ‘Learn from the past and create something new.’ No deep meaning :)”

There’s definitely something going on with the series, but it looks like Odashima isn’t quite ready to talk about it. Clearly his tweets point to something in the works.
