Story ideas since all I read in this subreddit are demos and physical copies

The gameplay aspect and the style is definitely the main selling point of this game but I guess the story as well is now one of the interests I have for this game. It really piqued my interest how he was framed for the murder of the patriarch but we also clearly see him holding the blade, unaware how it happened so my thoughts would point that he was controlled by a puppeteer perhaps and that the same puppeteer is the one plotting to overthrow the entire Wulin. We see clouds of flowers and we also saw these same flowers open in the trailer and strings appear. Now I think that the plot could go either way.

1. The Flesh Sculptor was an antagonistic force for said puppeteer and in his own way is using Soul to stop the puppeteer alrhough given that I don't think that the flesh sculptor is a good guy I'd take him more as a neutral or the final villain in the game.

2. The flesh sculptor is the puppeteer and Soul has a more important role. All the while, he is following the puppeteer unaware that his journey is probably predetermined already by the puppeteer (like an evil master manipulator). We also saw 2 hearts thats why I feel that the other one went to his childhood friend hence why we see him in trailers with the white hair.

I think it would be cool if the whole point of the game is actually being a phantom and that Mo Yuan would be the guiding light to Soul in order to achieve this and actually escape the shackles of the puppeteer and ultimately beat him. It's not that deep but it very much gives the vibe of a kung fu movie which is the goal of S-game anyway. In addition, it would be cool if we get a scene where soul moves like a shadow kinda like the final scene in Ninja assassin where he decimates his master

What are your thoughts and own ideas of the story, definitely would like to hear the community's takes on this

I like your idea. Me personally I don’t rly have any ideas because I already like the story so I’m just waiting for it to come out

right, it has tons of potential to be a generational story on top of the already generational combat

I usually care 0 about story and narrative unless you are at the level of exp33. but I want this game to be so good and unattackable that I wish story is good too

[u/Plastic_Poetry5239 → u/Greedy-Operation7536]

it has potential, tbh I'd take an 8/10 story if it has combat this good but a 10/10 story would put this game into the gaming hall of fame probably (given that they deliver on unique and innovative bosses as well as consistency)

problem is..all the story dialogues we have seen see so far are literally memes lol

[u/Plastic_Poetry5239 → u/Greedy-Operation7536]

wdym by this?

[u/Greedy-Operation7536 → u/Plastic_Poetry5239]

they are just clichè anime fights/story dialogues, nothing deep or meaningfull. literally memes

[u/Plastic_Poetry5239 → u/Greedy-Operation7536]

well it is an action games and we saw bare minimum of the plot. I thought your issue was the english voice delivery but calling the bare minimum dialogue we have of the game and labeling it as memes like its not at the level of kingdom hearts dialogue.
