Line 37:
*** I think that you are all giving Namco too much credit and that they just did not bother do the research. First of all while the Ottoman Empire wasn't all sunshine and roses, it was much more tolerant towards its religious minorities than any other contemporary empire. Second, Sophitia, Cassandra and any other Greek character from this period would belong to the Byzantine Orthodox Church (since approximately the 4th or 5th century AD), which was even more allergic to the old Greco-Roman pantheon then the Ottomans. (As a matter of fact, it was the Byzantines who banned the Olympic Games for being "pagan rituals").
*** ''I think that you are all giving Namco too much credit and that they just did not bother do the research.'', except that most of what's said (specially about Sophitia assisting mass and being a big fan of ancient greek mythology) is directly stated in her original profile. Sophitia was the only one who ever had this interest too, as Cassandra only believes they exist because she knows Sophitia is not the type to lie.
* Okay, so I did not watch the whole story mode yet, but I did watch the end and the credits. Suddenly, so much gets confirmed based on what I assume is the the voice actor list in the credits. Viola is suddenly Amy based on the fact that they share both English and Japanese VA's (which was known way before story mode was leaked) and Nightmare is using Raphael's body because they share the same seiyuu. This is where I get confused. Popular theory aside, does the trope
** What you see is what you get with the credits. It's possible that there are (like in ''III'' and ''IV'') uncredited VAs for English, but Pyrrha ([[Laura Bailey]]) and Raphael (Charles Rubendall, who voiced him in ''III'' and ''IV'') would seem to still be correct. As for the issues of Viola and Nightmare, there are strong hints that what is on the characters page is correct (aside from VAs, {{spoiler|Raphael remarks "Strange..." when biting Viola during his throw and Graf Dumas looks like Raphael, but with a mask--something that's made even more obvious in CAS}}), but nothing was ''officially'' disclosed in the story. Thus, it's just conjecture at this point. True? Most likely. Confirmed? No. I'm going to bring this post up on the discussion page for the characters page, but I might just go ahead and remove that information altogether since it's not explicitly true.
Line 67:
** There's also the Female part of Soul Edge- the sword itself is both male and female.
** I honestly don't see any [[Foe Yay]] between Inferno/Soul Edge and Elysium/Soul Calibur, if that's indeed who Elysium is. Looking back, I see now that Inferno used Siegfried's Nightmare armour as a proxy host after Soul Edge was taken by Siegfried in III as there was nothing else there to possess. Cervantes was very much obsessed with reclaiming Soul Edge prior to V, although his obsession doesn't really qualify as [[Yandere]]. I guess that narrows it down to Sigfried x Nightmare. Tira's still yandere, she's just not impressed with Nightmare [[Taught By Experience|learning from his mistakes]] and employing subterfuge, and has decided that a [[Les Yay|female Nightmare works just as well]].
* Soul Calibur V contradicts stuff. It says that SCIV takes place in 1590 and that SCV takes place in 1607, yet when you look at the characters'
** Maybe their math was a bit incorrect? Everything else in the series suggests that the last three games took place in 1591. I guess you could also chalk it up to the amount of time it'd take for the characters to travel back and forth (such as Pat going to locales like Hungary and Japan) as well as the lack of secondary narratives in the story (outside of Sophitia's kids).
** Those birthdates aren't from any official source, they were just [[Fanon]] assumptions based on the only official timeline ever released (which mostly listed historical events intertwined with Mitsurugi's career). 1607 has been the first official date ever given for any of these game.
Line 80:
== Artbook ==
Several of the articles talk about an art book for ''Soul Calibur V'', which reveals secrets like {{spoiler|Lexia and Xiba being siblings}} and {{spoiler|Nightmare using Raphael's body as a host}}. Is this the same art book included in the collector's edition?
* Sadly, no. The artbook you're referring to is called ''New Legends of Project Soul'', which (puzzlingly/infuriatingly so) is currently [[No Export for You|Japanese only]].
