Europeans

There are various ways to cruise

There is more than one way to cruise the waters of the world. Many choose to board a modern cruise ship and travel to the Caribbean, Europe, Alaska, Canada, Asia, South Pacific, South America and even around the world. Others prefer the riverboats, seeing the various towns and cities as well as the countryside using the modern and now very popular boats found on many of the major rivers in Europe, China and soon (again) the Mississippi River, with service beginning in 2012.

There are a small number of travelers who choose to cruise on freighters, which may accommodate four to 12 passengers in very comfortable staterooms. On freighters you have to entertain yourself and enjoy many days at sea without a port of call in some cases.

Even into the 1960s and 70s there were passenger freighters crossing the waters from the United States to Asia, Europe, South America and the South Pacific. They carried between 100 and 150 passengers. Travelers chose freighters because there were fewer passengers and more days at sea. They were like a floating club on the water. The onboard service and dining was usually as good as the leading liners of the time.

Clothes hangers come in a number of different shapes and sizes depending on their function. Hangers for shirts and tops, for example, may have hooks to keep sleeves from slipping out of place, while hangers for trousers, skirts and pants may hold the garments with small clips.

You can even get hangers that display an entire suit - jacket and trousers - at the same time, as well as smaller hangers for accessories such as hats, scarves, purses and other items....

Unlike most character creators, you don’t have to select from a preset list of voices either. You can adjust the pitch and tone of your voice using a slider until you’re happy with how the combination works.

Game producer, Hisaharu Tago, shows off how these features work in a brief video, which you can watch above. You’ll be able to play with the character creator yourself when Soulcalibur V

I don’t think they’ll do that again, because you can’t really add entirely new weapon styles without having to fully test them out and balance them with all the main characters.  Some of the SCIII ones were totally broken and unbalanced.  

If they spend all the time to actually make a fully balanced, new weapon set, it’ll probably be on a main character.  That’s just my guess.
