* ArtEvolution: The budget and scope of this game blasts the fidelity of ''7'' away. Rendered in Unreal 5, the series showcases some of the cleanest and most realistic visuals possible, with minute details like skin and hair showing incredibly improved fidelity. Jin and Kazuya [[BattleInTheRain battling in the rain]] shows even water droplets being fully rendered.

* RuleOfSymbolism: All over the place in the reveal trailer. The volcano that was the site of Heihachi and Kazuya's final battle is now dormant as a storm now rages over Jin and Kazuya. The 8 in the title erupts from a broken chain, symbolizing that this may finally be the end of the Mishima feud.

* CallBack: The game's first teaser plays back the iconic moment of Kazuya tossing Heihachi off a clip in the first ''Tekken''. As the camera zooms on Kazuya's smirk, the scene abruptly transforms into a preview of ''8'''s graphics.
