I made the poll for characters you would not bring back, so how about we flip it? Who are five characters that you want to see return in a theoretical sequel?
Notice I didn’t say “characters that MUST return or else it’s not KI” or something like that. This isn’t a “who’s most integral” or “who are the signature characters” survey. But if that’s your requirement for characters returning, then by all means!
I’m just saying that you choose the criteria. If you think others will vote for the more commonly loved characters, then feel free to throw a vote at someone you love that you think is underrated. Vote for whoever YOU want.
Which FIVE characters do YOU want returning in a theoretical KI sequel?
NOTE: As with the other poll, I removed the remixes, the guests, and the bosses to get the number down to 20, which is the maximum amount of options available. So my apologies if you’re a huge fan of Gargos or Shago or Raam, etc. FWIW, I actually like Eyedol a lot!
If these 5 characters were the roster of theory KI4 (KI3 lauched with 6 characters) there would be no dedicated Zoner in your list
(hopefully theory KI4 has more than 5 characters )
Obviously I want my mains to come back (Jago, Fulgore, Hisako). And if for a fourth one probably Kim Wu (hopefully with slightly better range in her attacks)
-Sees Hisako’s placement- Good. Everyone knows what the deal is
I picked Sako, Jago, Kim, Thunder, and Sadira. I think the latter two in particular have really, really cool designs, both aesthetically and gameplay wise. Shout-outs to the MS/DH/IG team for taking a boring caricature and turning him into one of the most bruising and terrifying-to-fight members of the entire cast!
Didn’t vote for Jago as that’s pretty much a given.
I’d never encountered a character as interesting as Maya in terms of gameplay before, surprised she hasn’t got more love considering that on Infil’s guide, he considers her gameplay as being completely unique.
I actually really like Maya as well, even though she didn’t get one of my 5 votes. I think she’s probably the very best of the reimagined classic characters visually. They turned an uber-generic half-naked Amazon into a believably fierce monster hunter. Her new design is really, really good, to the point where I actually really hate seeing people so often default to her retro.
Her playstyle is annoying as all get out, but there’s no denying it’s also a pretty unique archetype. :-p
