Soul Calibur V head Daishi Odashima has revealed that the weapons-based brawler’s ambitious story plans were trimmed due to lack of available time and man power.
Speaking with Train2Game, Odashima said that developer Project Soul could only cram in one quarter of what was originally planned in terms of story content.
“Our first plan on the storyboard was that we had every characters story,” he said.
“But time-wise, man power-wise we weren’t able to do it and only one fourth of what we planned to do is in the game.”
Odashima-san said the team is eager to use the cut content in some capacity, though wasn’t sure how this would pan out.
“Some of the voice-overs are already taken but haven’t been used,” he added. “We want to make use of it somehow, but we don’t know how that’s going to be.”
