* Sadly, no. The artbook you're referring to is called ''New Legends of Project Soul'', which (puzzlingly/infuriatingly so) is currently [[NoExportForYou Japanese only]].

* Seong Mina also has a father who wants him to marry Hwang, but both seem to be worried about a Japanese invasion atleast during Soul Calibur 2. He seems to be somewhat allowing Mina to travel the world, or more darkly she, Hwang and Yun Sung are the only survivors of the many Korean agents sent to claim Soul Edge aka the Sword of Salvation.

** First, Cassandra ''doesn't'' worships them, and neither does any other member of Sophitia's family as a matter of fact. Dunno if what Sophitia (and Rothion) do can really be named "worshipping": visiting an ancient and ruined temple a few times to ask for blessing/help, or some personal/whispering prayers. And that's mostly given they know they are the real deal. No one else knows about that (except Cass), and she'd not be willing to reveal it, considering the last time Sophie spoke about her adventures she was ridiculized by even her close friends. PS: I wouldn't really count with those lazy greek gods to even move a finger if they even get pursued for that, considering their long-lasting lack of action, CF not-withstanding.

*** This is not necessarily true, there have been times even in the medival period where common women were given power or were largely independent on their husbands, see the Wife of Bath. Also there are few records written by the poor who lived by a different set of rules than the nobility who would be the ones in charge of the records. Besides that given the fighting ability of these women your hypothetical would end in the death of said guard.

** I honestly don't see any FoeYay 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, [[{{Understatement}} she's just not impressed]] with Nightmare [[TaughtByExperience learning from his mistakes]] and employing subterfuge, and has decided that a [[LesYay female Nightmare works just as well]].

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?

* How so? He possessed Siegfried, whose height was 5'6" up until ''V''. And even when Nightmare was an AnimatedArmor in ''III'' and ''IV'', his body was still based off of his previous one (i.e. Siegfried's). If it's any consolation, his new host in ''V'' is 5'10".

** I would assume they do. To the best of knowledge, Ezio is the first character to actually break out into his native tongue, and that's only during select quote. [[TranslationConvention It would seem that everyone knows English, even when they shouldn't.]] However, this didn't hold true for ''Soul Edge/Soul Blade'', [[BilingualDialogue where the Asian characters were left in Japanese]]. I don't quite have an answer for you, but there's a WMG here suggesting that since the soul swords are unnatural entities that warp the fabric of reality, they eventually broke down the language barriers on Earth once they grew powerful enough.

Nightmare is 5'6''. This is very silly.

Nightmare is 5'7''. This is very silly.

* So how does everyone understand each other? Do they?

* 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' DOBs, they all suggest it's in 1591. Add 17 years to that, 1608. Even the new SCV characters' DOBs suggest 1608. Does the story mode start in 1607 and end in 1608, even if the whole thing is called 1607?
* So do language barriers exist? Some bios mention them, and yet cutscenes suggest they don't exist.

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.

* 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 sharing 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, TalkingToYourself not apply? Not to mention that while they specified who played who in Japanese, but they only specified RogerCraigSmith as Ezio. Everyone else is just mentioned in alphabetical order. Nightmare in particular is going back and forth between PatrickSeitz and Charles Rubendall. Some VA's also seem to be outright ''missing'', like how the general consensus says that LauraBailey is Pyrrha. Is this all being assumed based on the VA list or do I have the wrong assumptions and missed something? Also, is there anywhere I can find a confirmed VA list?

** There's also the Female part of Soul Edge- the sword itself is both male and female.

* Cervantes and Xianghua are far from Yandere material. As for your question... dunno. I get the feeling that Siegfried as Nightmare was probably the most successful host Soul Edge has had to date (Siegfried ''did'' best Inferno in combat back in ''Soul Edge'', after all). Resuming the form of his most recent host was probably the best way to go for Inferno, considering how notorious and feared the Azure Knight was (to the point that stories of him stretched all the way from Western Europe to Japan). It could also very well be psychological warfare against the one who escaped his grasp. At any rate, it's no less weird than the FoeYay the two soul swords ''themselves'' have going on, which probably is the strangest implication of BrotherSisterIncest I've ever seen in fiction.
