* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Soul Calibur, the spirit sword of salvation? Cool. Soul Edge, the evil sword of legends that creates the hated Malfested? Sure. Greek Gods? With you 100%. Azure Nightmare, the madman whose bloody reign of terror is well-documented as one of the darkest times in European history and who singlehandedly sacked small countries? Myth.

It seems odder still, because Namco took care to explain that Setsuka's fair hair is a result of her being ethnically European.

In a seemingly opposite situation compared to ''III'''s KOS-MOS example, Devil Jin's moveset is exclusive to custom characters, but there is no word on whether or not there any parts to recreate him with. To get the Soul (read: fighting style) of Devil Jin, one must defeat the ghost Harada TEKKEN, who uses his style, in Quick Battle mode.
