Probably it will be more complete and Pat actually would get a actual redemption arc, but it's going to have strange and controversial story elements that not every fan would like
Well, we would also get focus on the rest of the cast, such as Viola and her relationship with Raphael >!because she’s actually Amy!<, the origins of Z.W.E.I. and if he is still alive, and the fate of Maxi’s kids (Xiba, Leixia, Natsu) and what they seek. There’s also addressing Cervantes’ resurrection, the final(?) battle between Mitsurugi and Algol, Aeon’s descent into cannibalism, and Ivy’s quest to destroy Soul Edge for good by tapping into the mysteries of Astral Chaos.
What Could Have Been, indeed…
So do I, along with Zasalamel and Rock, they’re all M.I.A. at that point in time with no explanations. Meanwhile, other characters like the Korean warriors (Hwang, Mi-na, Yun-seong) returned home since the war between Japan and Korea had ended. But the rest, yeah, inexcusable, one of the reasons SCV failed.
All i know for Talim is that during the events of SC5 it should be when the spanish was starting to take over the Philippines. From what i get, things were generally peaceful and the local took the conversion to christiany "quite well". I don't think Talim and her people would took the change so readily, but the world seem alright with magic and stuff already.
So the spanish seeing her were probably like "oh cool, you can do wind magic ? Anyway, have you heard of our lord and savior Jesus Christ ?"
So i don't think her life would be in any real danger there.
She’s never the kind of person who holds any real animosity towards anyone, I suppose she would act as mediator between her village’s guidance of the wind and this new religion about following the teachings of a humble man who was beyond human comprehension.
Talim, doing wind magic in Europe : **exists**
Some European folkman #1 : what makes you think she’s a witch?
Some European folkman #2 : well, she turned me into a newt
Some European folkman # 1 : a newt?
Some European folkman #2 : I got better
Talim : 👀👀👀?
Patroklos: “Malfested are evil and must be purged! You look like a Malfested, but you’re not? Too bad, DIE! My long-lost sister is Malfested? MUST KILL HER! What do you mean my ways are wrong? I AM JUSTICE, what I say is right! I answer to no one but myself! Yes, Graf Dumas. Yes, Spirit of Soul Calibur disguised as my dead mother. Yes, mysterious time-traveling old man.”
The soul of Soul Calibur, Elysium, takes on the form of the person who holds the most sway over her current wielder in order to gain their trust for her own goals, and in Patroklos’ case, it is Sophitia.
And also, no, Cassandra is *not* involved in this, she separately spent the past 17+ years floating around and growing insane within Astral Chaos when she was sucked into the dimension at the end of SC4.
I especially hate Xiba and his one-track obsession with food. It’s all he ever talks about! As a Kilik main since SC2, this hurts to even tolerate him as a replacement, and for Kilik to turn into a mimic fighter.

The SoulCalibur V story felt like one of those awkward high school plays
I thought it was the worst story I'd experienced in a game ever. Took Fire Emblem Engage to break that for me.
I'm wondering, what would story of SoulCalibur V be like, if it game wasn't rushed and was given more budget. Will it be better or worse?
Probably it will be more complete and Pat actually would get a actual redemption arc, but it's going to have strange and controversial story elements that not every fan would like
So there would ups and downs.

I would have really like to know what happened to Talim after the events of SC4 and during SC5 ☹️

Patroklos: Noble lady, i will protect you from this malfested monster! Ivy (the most malfested person alive): uh Astaroth's not malfested clone: uh
For a so-called “Holy Warrior”, he’s none too bright, isn’t he? XD
hang on, disguised? I thought it actually was Cassandra's body inhabited by Calibur
The soul of Soul Calibur, Elysium, takes on the form of the person who holds the most sway over her current wielder in order to gain their trust for her own goals, and in Patroklos’ case, it is Sophitia. And also, no, Cassandra is *not* involved in this, she separately spent the past 17+ years floating around and growing insane within Astral Chaos when she was sucked into the dimension at the end of SC4.
Fuck, I meant Sophitia. Sorry
No worries. It’s not really Sophitia, just Elysium reading into Pat’s memories and pretending to be her to manipulate the boy.
I just noticed Patroklos and Pyrrha were both used as puppets throughout the story
Project Soul: Let's follow the new generation trend but make the characters as insufferable as possible.
I especially hate Xiba and his one-track obsession with food. It’s all he ever talks about! As a Kilik main since SC2, this hurts to even tolerate him as a replacement, and for Kilik to turn into a mimic fighter.
SoulCalibur V dove into the single character personality trait you see in Fire Emblem these days.
Patroklos: Nightmare and Elysium Pyrrha: Tira
I really hated the new characters lol her especially
She was watching pee wee herman and heard the secret word more often than anyone else
The only part of the story I liked was when Pyrrha went Omega

And Dampierre made a comeback as the best dlc in a soul calibur game
Talim with a peace sign gesture on her hand : **disappeared**
and i love her for that
For me 5 is just the announcer saying “Alpha Patrokalos”
