There's a brief glimpse of Kazumi in Devil Form.Lars is set to appear in the game. Also Miguel, Christie, Wang Jinrei, and Leo were featured in the flashbacks, pretty much likely they will return as well.
I don't get why they're showing the flashback from when Jin caused wars all over the world (except for Jinpachi) when Kazumi mentions what terrible things Heihachi might do to other people.
Oh, yeah, maybe. ... It seems a little weird to me to blame those wars on Heihachi. Jin would have hated Kazuya either way when Kazuya came back, regardless of the headshot, and he'd have tried to erase the Devil Gene all the same, I would think (the headshot is what triggered the Devil Gene to awaken in Jin, but as far as I see it, it would have happened anyway). So unless we're starting to blame Heihachi for kicking kid Kaz out of a clifftop, leading to Kaz's personality, leading to Jin's hatred for him and the Devil Gene around 4 decades later...

Nero D. said, July 25, 2014, 10:19:20 pmdid yall see that fucking tearYes indeed. It's one of the first things I picked up on. The Mishima feud always fascinated me and it's one of my all time favorite storylines in all of gaming. Well, at least in Tekken 1 and 2.Heihachi drops Kazuya down a ravine at the age of 5 (Or was it 6??). Kazuya climbs back up, vowing revenge (And earning that scar on his chest). And Kazuya returns the favor at the End of Tekken, dropping Heihachi down a cliff. But Heihachi one-ups Kazuya at the end of Tekken 2 and throws him into a volcano.What dropping shennanigens should we expect this time?? Who drops who down what!?
Heihachi shot the whole gang (Jin, Jinpachi, Kazuya) into space strapped on a rocket in one of the last 2 games (6 or Tag 2, not sure which). But it's a running gag now, they stopped doing that canonically for a while I'm thinking the man behind Kazumi is Jinpachi, and somehow we'll learn that there's more to Heihachi beating him, taking the spot of strongest man in the world, taking over the Mishima Zaibatsu, and locking him under Honmaru. We might even get a word on what kind of demon saved Jinpachi under there too.
From the panel, it's confirmed that characters will speak their native language once again, meaning English Kazuya is a trailer only thing.New characters and new mechanics will also be revealed soon.
heihachi did the rocket thing in t5and it's highly likely it is jinpachi, it'll be a good reason for heihachi to trap him under honmaru to die and be possessed by kasumi's vengeful spirit years later, since they were likely the only two besides heihachi at the time who knew of the geneSaikoro said, July 25, 2014, 10:32:02 pmHeihachi drops Kazuya down a ravine at the age of 5 (Or was it 6??).

Who drops who down what!? well, heihachi dropped jin off of an airborne helicopter in t3, this was likely non canon tho, highly likely, jin flung heihachi thru aztec temple walls headfirst (very canon), and heihachi was sent cross country by a mass jack explosion (also very canon)
Its about time to see this battle end,hopefully either Kazuya or Heihachi will be redeemed,no mention of Jin there,makes me think about his final fate in Tekken 6

But then again, we've had Jinpachi for 3 titles and it could be the branching off to Tekken 8, I dunno.NoZ said, July 25, 2014, 11:01:56 pmIts about time to see this battle end,hopefully either Kazuya or Heihachi will be redeemed,no mention of Jin there,makes me think about his final fate in Tekken 6I'm hoping Jin gets a chance to go back to his persona from before he gave a shit about the Mishimas. Well, not the young T3 version, but a Karate man and all. I understand the idea they had of Kaz and Jin being "corrupted heroes" but having a way out of it would be nice. ... Probably not happening.
See, that's the thing. It seems that Tekken's later entries are whimsical in the story sense. The whole Volcano/Cliff/Shooting a family member thing was pretty dark and a little shocking. In the later games, we get a comical scene with a Mishima member tied to a rocket??I really hope that 7 goes back to Tekken's roots and aims for more grounded, serious and somewhat realistic storylines. Tekken 1,2 and 3 were known for some really good storytelling that had plenty of depth, all tying in together somehow. Now, too much of it is nonsensical fluff that pales in comparison to older titles.
I'd personally vote against reversing steam and abandoning the comedy stuff. I'm okay with a serious main story and some slightly dark themes, but a bunch of characters are there for the comedy, and a little bit of comedy should still stay even in the serious characters. the trailer reminds you that Heihachi is borderline dangerously insane, but when interacting with specific characters (Kuma, Xiaoyu), he still has this funny grandpa aspect. He can be dark with Kazuya, criminal with Jinpachi, and emotional with Kazumi, sure, but he can be human and have more good emotions too in different situations.
