* This ''seems'' to be the case judging by the announcement trailer for ''SCVI'', which features a younger Mitsurugi and a very much alive (and presumably younger) Sophitia. On the other hand, Mitsurugi's design is based on how he appears in ''Soul Edge'' and ''Soulcalibur'' (full armor, no facial hair, apparent lack of scars) and there's a rapid succession of scenes--possibly framed as a prophetic vision of Sophitia's--taken from the opening movie of ''SCIII'', the opening movie of ''SCV'', and cutscenes from ''V''[='s=] story. There's also the opening narration to take into account: "Just as shadows are cast where there is light, '''history hides away more than one truth'''." We might be looking at some kind of ContinuityReboot in the vein of ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', where the previous titles are still canon, albeit now set in a different timeline, and the events of the new continuity [[ForWantOfANail may]] or [[InSpiteOfANail may not]] steer clear of the "original" story.
