Every time somebody complains that "UUUUUUGH! [CHARACTER X] ISNT THERE ANYMORE
", somebody else complains that it looks the same as IV...WTF do you people want?
Here is Xiba, yes, he does look terrible... but give it time, you might learn to like him, or any of the other 27 characters.
edit: old image broke, concept art is the only remaining one i can be bothered to find.
I originally was. I was going to pre-order it from Best Buy because I wanted Dampierre, but then something dawned on me.
"Why spend 60 bucks to get it new, when I could just spend 20 bucks when it inevitably drops in price, and then another 20 to buy some Microsoft Points to just buy the exclusive character when he inevitably becomes DLC?"
So I'm taking the "wait and buy" route. I do want the game, SC is one of the only fighting series I really like, but I'm in no rush to get it right away.
I'd rather save money.

Most likely, and if Douchie Daishi stays on its gonna be my last. He;s pretty much killed the series and made it something its not, and the only real redeeming thing about the game is gonna be the character creation system. And even then, if they keep it the same way it was in the last game, then its going to be shit.
I'm kinda looking forward to newcomer Natsu. That other ninja was getting kinda boring.
Probably not a first day purchase, but I'll probably get it eventually.
Edit: Ah, Seong Mina was my favourite in the original Soul Edge, too. Ah, memories.

There really needs to be a third "on the fence" option here. I LOVED the original Soul Calibur; it was one of the reasons I got a Dreamcast. Two and three did a lot of things right between them, although I was never as jazzed about either as I was about the first game. Four really disappointed me in a lot of ways, though. I've been kind of following V and from what I've seen so far it looks pretty impressive. It's cool that they timeskipped and are dedicated to bringing in new characters and taking the risk of not bringing back all the old characters. Fighting looks pretty solid, and the art design so far looks miles better than four's.
I figure what's probably going to happen is a friend of mine is going to get it, I'm going to play it and be like "I need to own this game," and then I'll end up getting it. But as of right now, I don't intend to purchase it at launch.
As far as characters go... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about Ezio. Hopefully he doesn't end up being as unbalanced as their guest characters tend to be. I'm also interested in the new double-ax-wielding Lizardman. Lizardman's always been a favorite of mine. I'll miss the shield, but I can imagine the kind of havoc he can wreak with two axes. And wings, apparently. I wonder if he'll actually be using those things in-game, or if they're just for show?
Also, I really, really, really, can't stand Natsu's design. Thankfully her player 2 costume isn't a sparkly tween diva ninja princess costume. God I f'n hate that design.

I'm buying it day 1. I am a rabid fan of Soulcalibur...
I don't usually use a main but if I do, probably either Raphael or Viola.
The creation system looks to have been improved a lot so I'm looking forward to that quite a bit.

I've never played a Soul Caliber game before, does it play like Tekken?
I've just started playing Tekken Tag (about 10 years late I know) and I'm really enjoying it.

Of course I will buy it. My main as usual will be the one, the only Cervantes de Leon, and as for my "alt" good ol Nightmare.
Preordered the limited edition last night xD The Soul Calibur games are the only fighting games I actually enjoy playing. Looking forward to playing Viola.
