It was, and still is, ...Theoretically a good idea. It was, and still is, a very underdeveloped story thread - and while I can kinda understand that the devs might've felt awkward trying to write a storyline with a strong undercurrent of rape, I still think it'd be better to at least give Nina some chance to come to terms with the situation and put her own capstone on it, rather than just blithely ignore the whole thing (especially since that itself does not erase the rape-y business). And as I've probably mentioned before, Steve needs SOMETHING to do before he slips forever into the pointless comedy abyss with Paul and Marshall.<br /><br />That said, I don't know if this is a good time for it as such, at least insofar as I'm unclear how you get from where Nina was in <i>T6</i> to this. I dunno, maybe having unrestrained access to Zaibatsu computers lets her find out some new info on the project and sparks her curiousity, or maybe it's something Leo does since she's involved according to her <i>TTT2</i> ending.<br /><br />Basically, it could work, but again, not holding my breath.Craig The Destroyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244378233300464711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954198312647881205.post-84853788228167412292014-07-24T13:36:08.287-07:002014-07-24T13:36:08.287-07:00I feel like a stupid delusional fanboy for saying ...I feel like a stupid delusional fanboy for saying this, but this might be a chance and a good point in the storyline for the developers to have Nina's and Steve's T4 story evolve. Arrgh, it's almost painful to bring up haha, and I know it probably won't happen, so I won't even get my hopes up, but you've got to admit, the time feels right. Do it Namco! NOW THERE'S something for me to pester Harada with via Twitter while Tekken 7 is being developed for AC, tested and adjusted for about a year while a part of the team works on the story bits for the home release. <br />Good idea/bad idea?nico.green.starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279596370180914301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954198312647881205.post-73064065445145525412014-07-24T09:28:15.138-07:002014-07-24T09:28:15.138-07:00I think I answered this same question ages ago (li...I think I answered this same question ages ago (like, pre-<i>TTT2</i> ago) on a Fanfiction.net forum, and I don't think the answer's changed since then: I'd put the likelihood of Nina assuming any sort of command position in the Zaibatsu at somewhere south of 0%, because that would require her to go under an intentional bit of character growth, and I'm pretty sure the devs are allergic to that. I don't see Nina willingly working for Heihachi either, but I could, at a stretch, see her throwing in with whatever force Lars assumedly still commands (Yggdrasil?). She doesn't seem to like the guy much personally but he's the least objectionable Mishima in Jin's absence and has yet to do anything to personally screw her over, while Heihachi and Kazuya both had a hand in her cryo-freeze/test tube baby adventures.<br /><br />I'd imagine that, if Jin is already active again, he's not going to be terribly bothered about taking control of the Zaibatsu back. Ruling it in the first place was only ever a means to an end; he needed their resources to set the world into chaos and awaken Azazel so he could megapunchsplode it. Now that's done, he'll probably revert to <i>Tekken 4</i> woe is me loner Jin and I'll hate him again.<br /><br />So basically, until I see something that proves otherwise, I'm going to resign myself to believing that the Williams sister rivalry will also continue until morale improves. :-( But, hey, maybe we'll know tomorrow.Craig The Destroyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244378233300464711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954198312647881205.post-17979089162162936682014-07-24T08:44:16.695-07:002014-07-24T08:44:16.695-07:00Great read. You always put so much effort into the...Great read. You always put so much effort into these.<br /><br />So what are the odds that Nina indeed became leader of the M Zaibatsu, to fill in as long as Jin is absent. Or do you reckon they'll have Heihachi back at the top of the empire. Sounds more likely I guess, with Tekken 7's focus on Hei's and Kazuya's final battle, but will Nina be working for Heihachi then? Awkward.<br />What are the possibilities Jin is already back up and well and, when learning that Heihachi took back control over the MZ, forms some kind of splinter group faction with Nina as the head of his forces?<br />I guess you're right in your assessment though, that Jin is likely to sit this one out in one way or another, but that must have some consequences for Nina's part in the overall plot.<br />Well, suffice to say, I totally nerded out over that little fan fiction part. If this was Tekken 5 I could totally see them going with Nina taking over the world (and mocking Anna big time) for her comedy story ending cinematic. With the serious tone they set with the teaser trailer I have hopes Namco dials it back a little with their wacky shenanigans.<br />Ultimately, watch them go: "With Jin missing and the Mishima Zaibatsu in shambles Nina is bored out of her mind and once again turns her attention towards her sister, to set the record straight once and for all, in the final battle for sibling supremacy" :-( Oh god, just hire the Tekken 4 writer already, Namco!<br />Imagine seeing Nina in the SDCC trailer tomorrow. This is like being 12 and it's the night before Christmas /Boxing Day in your case I guess.<br />nico.green.starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279596370180914301noreply@blogger.com
