Any thoughts on who we’ll get in season 3?
Tusk
Kim Wu
Eyedol
Gargos
Rash

Assuming we get the usual 9 characters, who do you think those 4 slots will be?
My thoughts:
Mothman vampire
Mad scientist with gadgets/tech
Electric sea entity
Telekinetic magician/wizard
Rash was first then Kim Wu. Don’t know when Tusk will come but probably after Kim Wu I hope. Gargos will be the final character but don’t think we’ll get Eyedol. I personally would like more human characters for S3.
We’re also getting 1 more guest character and I’m thinking it might be Joanna Dark.
Yes, more human characters and perhaps at least one more sabrewulf/riptor type brutal animal character. Oh and also one more new female character.
Agree. They may follow the S2 formula again, male,female,male,female.
Rash, Kim Wu, Tusk, Joanna Dark OR Kameo, Gargos, Eyedol, and the rest ALL-NEW KI characters
That breaks the male/female pattern! Unless Eyedols the bonus character of course!
One of the heads are.
I think you mean male, female, male, female, cloud, rock, female, male, robot
Having seen the image that has been posted somewhere with the halloween party greetings, supposing that the said image is a “leak”, we know there’s a vampire, a wizard and a mad scientist (an idea I personally suggested under a topic created by Ravan86 regarding his idea of Season 3 characters).
So the question is: who’s going to be the 9th character?
I think it would be one of the following 3 alternatives:
I don’t think another guest character would appear in this season. But that’s my 2 cents.
hope not keep guest characters out.
Nope. We’re getting at least one more guest character for Season 3
We’re getting at least one more allthough I like Rash for a guest character, he exceeds expectations!
As said, it isn’t specific. It could be also for the next season. And yes, I said next season because with all the ideas that came out there’s going to be at least a season 4.
No Season 4 confirmation so it’s for Season 3. I’m thinking this is probably the last Season of KI seeing MS confirmed S3 at the last minute.
I’d be surprised if MS knows whether or not there will be a S4 at this point. The only thing that they have made clear is that there won’t be an X1 generation sequel. The game is a platform, so if there’s no S4 then the game is finished.
As far as characters, there will be (at least) one more guest and it’s really hard to put good money on anyone other than Joanna Dark. We will for sure see Kim Wu and Tusk, along with Gargos. I wouldn’t put better than even money on Eyedol, even though it has become a “given” in the forums. I’m not sure why though. MS has been pretty reluctant and there’s nothing about Eyedol in any of the endings/teases/reveals so far. So we could see two guests, three returning characters and four totally new ones.
The ones we know are almost definite:
Rash
Kim Wu
Tusk
Gargos
Beyond that, we know we’re getting at least one more guest.
My guess: While I’d love for it to be Kaim Argonar from Lost Odyssey, my guess is either a Rare tie in (Joanna Dark) or an upcoming MS property tie in (Marcus Phoenix)
After that?
-A vampire character. This has been requested a ton and I have a feeling they’ll deliver.
-A sage character. An older “guide / leader” type.
-A zombie character. If we’re going off of KI using trends in pop culture
-A sea creature character. Have to have at least one full on monster right?
or perhaps:
-A demonic character. A monstrous demon or a man that turns in to a demon.
So that’s 9 (sea creature or demon). Call me crazy, but I don’t think Eyedol makes this season. Maybe as some sort of Ultra pack content, where he’s not tourney viable until the end of the season when he’s available to everyone for a price, but otherwise, people at MS either don’t like him or don’t seem to know what to do with him. Either way, if he does make it, I’m guessing they’ll have significant changes for him.
There’s still a big part of me that’s holding out hope that the guest characters won’t be included as part of the main roster of characters that we’re getting. We normally get 9. It’d be awesome if we still got nine regular characters and then an additional two more as guests on top of that, rather than cutting in to the number of normal roster characters that we get.
It’s not that I’m just greedy and want tons of characters (well… maybe a little bit), I just want as many IG created characters and returning KI characters as possible that are a part of this game and this universe and not just one off guests that either aren’t part of the story at all or are awkwardly shoehorned in. I’m all for guests upping the visibility of the game and bringing in more fans. Totally down with that. I just hope that it doesn’t come at the expense of some of the regular content that we get for KI seasons.
There has been some brief talk about Eyedol on the S2 forums but from what Isgreen said, the crew have had difficulty making him fun to play (Could they have also been working on S3 on the side?) so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was in S3 but I don’t think he’ll be in it. I really don’t care for more characters in KI, I’d rather have a few great ones that fit in the KI universe than a bunch of crappy ones that don’t. As for a Season 4, I’m thinking and hoping after this we get a sequel with higher quality graphics and a higher budget so we can have a complete game at the start and maybe get some bonus content along the way.
Reluctant? Adam Isgreen told us why Eyedol was a riddle for them, he engaged in open discussion about why this character has them on the fence. We offered 40 pages worth of feedback and ideas. I interpret that as “we have a problem with this character, and we are going to tell you why and listen to your feedback while at the same time measuring your interest about him.”
If any that’s a confirmation that Eyedol is alive for the moment. If he was 100% confirmed not to return, they would have said “we can not discuss which characters are returning yet” which would have been a bad sign.
The thing about Eyedol is that to a lot of people on the UC forums think MS and IG could just " Create Eyedol and he’s ready to play". It’s really not that simple to make a character and us as members of the forums really couldn’t understand where the developers are coming from unless somehow we are developers are selves. It’s much more difficult than it sounds and this was also another problem when trying to bring SJ with his boss move set earlier this year in S2.
