![]() Equipment stats added an extra layer of strategy to character creation and penalties for having your armor broken in combat that actually added depth. I also always thought it was a mistake to take the stat bonuses out of the equipment when they nerfed the feature in SCV. But I do think it was a bad design choice to attach shoes to a lot of the undergarments. Like SCIV and SCV all of the customize-able equipment except for undergarments is destructible in combat, which is reasonable since this isn't supposed to be an adult game (still with some people can come up with some pretty naughty designs if they're creative enough). It would have been nice to use Character Creation to make a Cassandra look-alike. The least they could have done was provided equipment options for the characters they cut out of the game. But SCIV and SCV had a lot more equipment options available at launch that didn't require the purchase of DLC. To be fair, even in SCIV and SCV they sold extra equipment as part of DLC packs. ![]() I'm guessing we'll have to wait to buy DLC packs to get the equipment variety options we've become accustomed to in past SC games. They've also stripped down the number of equipment customization options considerably. They made one character, Tira, available only as DLC upon launch which leads me to believe they're going to be milking the fanbase for cash to get the rest of the characters as DLC packs over the next few years. It seems the creators are taking a "back to basics" approach and cut out a huge swath of characters, some of which have become staples to the roster (including my favorite, Cassandra). But the series took a huge step backwards with this latest installment. SCIV is still the high water mark, and while SCV was a slight step down due to how they removed the equipment stats and nerfed the armor break feature, it was still very good and had excellent online play. ![]() SCIV is still the high I've been a fan of Soul Calibur since the first game but I have to admit the series has been in decline since SCIV.
