Heh, thanks for making a Calibur topic. I'm a fan myself. I hope Hilde and Raph make it back...it seems somewhat of a prequel though, so who knows.

"Set in the 16th Century, the latest chapter will revisit events from the original Soul Calibur to uncover hidden secrets. Each player will soon come to realize that, “History hides away more than one truth…”" So, this is a prequel? That's why both characters look younger than in Soul Calibur V. I normally dislike prequels...The game looks promising and awesome, but if it is a prequel, it already makes me feel a bit "eh" at it.

So it's an MK9-esque reboot from the look of things, we're going back to an older game but pursuing a new plot. And considering that shot in the trailer where Sophitia seems to have a flash... forward, to later games, I think my MK9 thoughts are probably right.
I think we can assume that everyone who was in SC1 is in this game, but hard to say about people who came later in the franchise. It's fine with me, as Nightmare is my main, and Xianghua and Sophitia are my off-mains. Though I do hope later characters like Talim or Zasalamel can still get in. (And considering Zasalamel's story, he could easily be retconned to be a character in pre-SCIII stories.)
Though I say that Nightmare is my main, he's only my main so long as we're talking about his SCIII-V moveset. In SCI-II he had basically the same moveset as Seigfried. If they end up going that route, I guess I'll put my energies into Xianghua, even if the 'Just kidding!' ebbs my tolerance from time to time.

Scuttlest If it turns out to be a reboot like MK9, then i would really love it. I normally dislike prequels, but if you are rebooting the whole franchise to the start or doing something similar as MK did, then i'm all for it.

Scuttlest Pure Miriam If it is indeed a soft-reboot, I think we can expect at least some characters from II & III at least. Maybe Hilde from IV since it seems to be a concensus that II, III, & IV are all set in the same year ( 1591). purifyweirdshard Personally, I'm most looking forward to Seong Mi-Na & Taki for now. If there's a chance that characters from later games make it in (considering this game's story), I'd love Hilde & Zasalamel as well.

Here's an extended gameplay preview:
"Critical Edges" return, and so does equipment-destruction. There seems to be new "Lethal Hit" attacks, and the "Reversal Edge" mechanic is explained.
It also seems that the producer is Motohiro Okubo this time around, rather than Harada.

I liked some of the character designs somewhat in this series but one thing that irked me is that everyone seemed to have these really large mouths. Hope they fix that.

I find it kind of funny that they announced guest characters this early, lol.
As for who it could be... well, to dream a little, I'd like to see Zhao Yun or Lu Bu from Dynasty Warriors.
See, some years back Soul Calibur's very own Sophitia appeared as a guest character in Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate. I think it'd be neat to see Koei Tecmo return the favor and let a DW character get into SCVI. Failing a DW character, maybe Ryu Hayabus from KT's Ninja Gaiden franchise?
I personally feel that Hayabusa is incredibly overrated, but him being in the game would definitely turn some more eyes toward the game.

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time now. With create a character confirmed, this is a day one purchase for me.

Scuttlest Wait, you're serious? A Soul-series character appeared as a guest in a Dynasty Warriors game? She appears in Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate (and only the Ultimate version of the package).
The Warriors Orochi franchise is a crossover between Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors. With some time travel and dimensional hopping to explain how 3rd century China and 15th century Japan are meeting.
Sophitia's first appearance cutscene in WO3U:
The problem with WO3U in terms of character representation, is that due to the sheer amount of characters (DW's huge cast and SW's slightly smaller but still big cast) combined with the new 'Mystic' officers as well as guest characters like Sophitia, a lot of characters are really only important for one battle or so in the game's plot, and Sophitia is one character who suffers this fate.
Altogether, only the (somewhat randomly selected) main protagonists, Sima Zhao, Ma Chao, and Hanbei, along with faction leaders like Cao Cao or Nobunaga, are consistently important from the time of their introduction.

Ryu Hayabusa would be neat, for sure, but I'm with a large portion of the rest of the internet: a Dark Souls character. Ornstein, Artorias, the player character in the Elite Knight set, etc.

KOS-MOS would be great. They've previously had CAS items that allowed you to make her. I could see her fit into the system, too (if Star Wars can, why not Xenosaga?)
But anyway, again
