This is definitely not the last Tekken game. It might only be the last that focuses on the Jin vs Kazuya struggle.

[@kokoro_gospel]

​@y0gafire I could see the series continuing. Initially I was wondering what story possibilities could be explored once Jin and Kazuya have settled their score. But the more I thought of it, I found myself thinking "You know, we already have 2 of Heihachi's illegitimate children running aroud; perhaps we may meet at least one or two more in the next installment." I feel that would be an interesting look into that part of Heihachi's legacy, as well as placing more of a spotlight on Reina (assuming a certain detail in her intro trailer is indeed canon).

[@kokoro_gospel]

​@@koteshima6682Yeah, before this game was announced, I truly believed Tekken 7 would be the end. Then that last bit of the story played and in the back of my mind I thought "You know what, there's still one major battle that's left to be fought." So the possibility of what turned out to be THIS game was always in the back of my mind. I think it would be interesting to meet more of Heihachi's children in future installments.

Nothing will ever compare to Tekken 5's opening cinematic, but this was really good

[@DrAgNZRX]

Tekken 5 was my true entry into the series, and that intro movie still gives me goosebumps when I watch it. I had played some of the previous games, I had the demo disc with Tekken 3 and I remember renting Tekken 4 (yes I'm old), but Tekken 5 was the first Tekken game that I actually owned. I still have my old PS2 and my original copy of the game.

[@Ryuhza]

They're at least leaning in the right direction, though this is no *Sparking*

[@dudeintheinternet]

​@@bigsmoke6805yeah i agree, but well if we take into consideration that mishima zaibatsu already took over the world at tekken 2, and g corp being a close second at tekken 4, been taken over by kazuya at 5. A world war was indeed inevitable, execution was just that bad to the point it sounded completely stupid, and not to mention the way azazel was brought up to the story, they could have atleast shown us the full extent of Azazel's power for jin's decision to atleast show the tiniest bit of what got into jin's head when he decided to start world war 3, they could've also tried to build hup the hype on azazel before events of tekken 6, but no, he was completely brought up out of no where. They couldn't express the magnitude of the zaibatsu's power over the world before tekken 5 either, thats why the world war was too much of a surprise to make sense. And tekken 7's story doesn't even make it any better, in fact it made it worse.

If you look very closely when Jin and Kazuya are about to exchange fists you see Jin's Background is like a calm ocean while Kazuyas Background is that of a raging volcano. Probably implies Jin has finally let go of all of his hatred towards Kazuya and has forgiven him which also in turn frees him from the Devils Influence but Kazuya in contrast still holds on to all his anger and hatred and still voluntarily wants the Devil Influence inside himself.
