SoWL Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Well, it's not like Chipp or May have no new design elements at all, it's just that their general image stayed about the same (and don't forget, we only got two images of each of them). As for Venom, I suppose it makes sense for him to reflect his loyalty to late Zato by keeping his outfit the same - and even then, as someone else has said, it got its own fair share of subtle changes, too.
edollarports Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Maybe Millia joined another organization? And yeah robopot is robopot. Ishiwatari's wanted that since gg2. Venom hasn't changed since he still has no purpose, and may and chipp are kinda just doing what they've always been doing since XX.
Suzaku Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 This is actually Millia's third redesign. Fourth if you count the beta version. What's more surprising is that they basically inverted her palette. Anyway, I sprited up some new Venom balls just for fun: :KY: → → →
SoWL Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Those are brilliant. I wonder how they're going to look in 3D - Instant Kills are (probably) going to be fully cinematic, after all.

Lynxfort Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Anybody wanna start speculating on what the final roster count'll be? +R has 25, so they should probably surpass that somehow. I'm thinking that they could start from 22 (no Order Sol, Kliff, or Justice) and then add Sin, Izuna, Paradigm, Valentine, and Raven (they can have plot shenanigans so that Axl and Raven can be there at once). And then, maybe 1 new character. Is 28 a decent number? Maybe "That Man" will be the boss this time (and actually get a real name)? What do you guys think? Is that feasible? They'd have to come up with fleshed out movesets for the 5 GG2 characters so we probably won't get a slew of completely new characters. Would people be satisfied? How attached are people to Kliff and Justice? If Xrd have the same exact system of R+ i wouldn't mind surpassing the roster like tekken same general system since T3 (1998)..and they keep improving the game (wall..bound..tag..etc) and give characters new moves....but if Xrd has a lot of new changes ..i would mind (i feel the whole game mechanic aren't fully clear right now)..so..that what i well think if the game were so different than R+.. I don' want Xrd would be something like SF4 or KOF MI or even MVC ..with due respect these games fans if the game has deep system with a lot of mechanics fewer characters easier to balance...

youcanwonder Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 i think there should be 2 more chars to play...baiken should be one of them lol
Luminos564 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 It's really not so weird. It's basically a militarized version of the Zepp uniform he wore in A Butterfly and Her Gale, with a stereotypical German spiked helm. The overall design may well be a tribute to Panzerfaust, as well. Hmm you're right. I forgot he actually HAD clothes of any kind that covered his upper body. I think my main issue was the helmet. I realize they gave him a redesigned pickelhaube but it still looks off to me. Must be the fact that his face is covered up and shrouded in shadow when I'm used to seeing it. Still, after thinking on it the design does look pretty impressive. On the subject of returning characters, I am about 75% certain that Robo-Ky is getting the boot. Slayer might as well if him returning to his dimension is canon. All I ask is that Dizzy and Zappa return at some point.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 i think there should be 2 more chars to play...baiken should be one of them lol Knowing ArcSys, I have a feeling they'll surprise last minute with at least 2 more characters. They're really good at throwing us off and surprising us.

They're really good at throwing us off and surprising us. While I would enjoy seeing as many characters as possible for the loketest on the 9th, I think what they've got so far is still good. Didn't BB's initial loketest have only 3 characters (Ragna, Jin and Noel)?
Devdan Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I thought it had 6, or 8. I have the Arcadia lying around somewhere, but w/e who cares. I'm not sure why you people are so dead-set on killing people off. Speculation is pointless, so you might as well specular more positive things. I doubt story is going to have much, if any impact on the returning roster. Maybe the initial roster, but not the final one.
HeatEXTEND Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Potemkin, my man Hulking, lovable huge guy Now you're just a can
the_d3v Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I'm curious as to what made Millia and Potemkin the only ones to receive radical redesigns [so far]? Also will they [or anyone] have different idle/movement animation? Millia has had a radical redesign before from GG to GGX. Potemkin's on the other hand reflects his current story (no longer a slave wearing an explosive collar).
Climhazzardous Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 All previous characters will make the roster, including some new ones.
Rhiya Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 All previous characters will make the roster, including some new ones. Where does it say that? I honestly don't find this being that likely, especially if they're testing a new system at the same time.
destruction_adv Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Where does it say that? I honestly don't find this being that likely, especially if they're testing a new system at the same time. Unfortunately, I gotta agree to this. I don't see everyone returning. I'd be glad to be proven wrong. Though I'm pretty sure Order-Sol is getting the boot.
Ultima Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I would like Potemkin's redesign more if a) I could see his face and b) it didn't have those godawful shoes. re: final cast I'm pretty sure we'll at least get everyone back from XX eventually. It may not be in the first iteration, but in future versions? Definitely. Post-XX though, I wouldn't bet on. But I could be wrong.

youcanwonder Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 just a thought (highly unlikely) but maybe theyll have alternate skins later on. I dont mind millia's redesign..potemps is bothersome though lol. Full cast would def be cool..but dont know if it will happen. Just hope baiken returns. Obviously eddie is returning based off the 1st trailer.
Rishtopher Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I dunno, I was pretty much hoping for extra skins, so I don't think it's unlikely if they know they can make money doing it.
Wild Candy Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I think the characters most likely to not to come back are Order Sol, Robo Ky, Justice, and Kliff. I can see ABA in that list, but I'm not completely sure given how her gameplay offers a lot of variety in the player roster. Their also probably to keep the game's prominent zoners. (Axl, Dizzy, Testament, and Venom of course) because Guilty Gear doesn't offer a huge variety of Zoners then the one's listed above. (Their are characters with Zoning options, but they can't zone to the same degree as the above listed can.) I guess the best predictions are based on what they bring to the roster through their play style, and how involved they are in the main plot.

Also, here's to hoping we see Johnny soon.
