Okay, MK:SM technically could be called MK7, but its not, because it wasn't a traditional MK game. Same can be said for Sub-Zero Mythologies, and Special Forces, and Gold. So here is my thought. They can make MK7, and please the hardcore fanboys out there. And then they could also make an off-shot game, like SM, to go along with it, pleasing the open-minded fans. Here's the game:
It's like KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic), but different. You can fully customize a kombatant, including which realm he comes from, appearance, weapons, etc. He goes from realm to realm, meeting people, performing missions, gaining allies, enemies, etc. Like KOTOR, your actions make you good or bad. You can join good or bad factions (Shaolin, Lin Kuei, Black Dragon, etc.). The kombat however, would be nothing like KOTOR. Grunts, would be fought in a SM style (but with dfferent fighting styles and weapons), while more important figures, and training, would be done in traditional Mk "FIGHT!" Style. You would level up, and learn new fatalities and fighting styles to choose from. You could find armor, clothing, and weapons to equip your kombatant with. Ultimately, you will choose whether to save the realms, or rule them.
Sound cool? I think so. Post replies! Pepsi, I don't wanna hear from you about how "naff" it would be, and how it wouldn't work. You can play MK7.

Well first of all MK aint an RPG. 2nd- the idea aint bad as long as you get rid of the RPG elements. no armor, no leveling up. No custom characters either. if you 'learn' a fatality as you go along through it Im sure some of those finishers wouldn't seem right/look right cause everybody is gonna make a chracter thats different from the next one.
What would sound good though is to take the blueprint of that idea and flop it around. Make this adventure MK:SM style mode the new Konquest mode for MK7. And just like in Deadly Alliance konquest you can select from any character from the roster. Depending on who you select you start in a group like the Black Dragon or 'its your choice' style if you pick someone thats neutral like scorpion and you decide who you ally with.
Now if you can pick from the whole roster, including eventual unlocking of secret chracters, then dont make each characters konquest too long. But there would need to be an objective an ultimately an end to each characters konquest. Like instead of stupid pointless side missions get straight to the point.
5 objectives:
Get fatality 1
Get fatality 2
Get friendship
Get animality
Get team fatality
thats another cool thing if you incorperate team fatalities, you could drive home the fact that konquest can be an optional co-op mode or just play with an AI.
Or better yet instead of having the open ended gameplay just make it so each character has like 4 or 5 chapters/levels in which to complete. And you play out thier role in MK history starting from thier earliest appearance. Like if you picked subzero, youd start out in the Lin Kuei, then the 2nd chapter or level youd actually be busting out of the clans HQ. then later on in your final stage or chapter you have to beat the 3 cyborg assasins. that would be cool. Every time you beat a chapter you get a fatality that you can use in the main arcade game. That would not only encourage people to play the 'other' mode but youd have to plus it would be a nice balance of traditional MK fighting and the shaolin monks type of play that everybody likes.
yeah that sounds better than creating an unknown nobody and being it a huge open ended Shujinko time waster. not to mention someone you create would never have an actual beginning or end to thier story/bio.
Not only that but whether in arcade mode or konquest or whatever you should be able to pick what currency you want to earn. Cause the MK Koin system is biased. Too many times do you get ruby, sapphire and jade koins. you hardly ever get platinum, you rarely get gold and you NEVER get onyx. Woot!

Haha arr thanks for mentioning me, but first of all it has to be said KOTOR didn't have CAC, they had prebuilt options for you to chose for the characters apperance.
You cannot compare KOTOR and CAC - you can however compare CAC to create a wrestler in WWE games.
However what you was saying about going around meeting people and going to different realms picking up skills and chosing your desting (good or evil) .. they could accomplish this in a MMORPG game and that would include your CAC and i would be happy with this too.
I don't agree with armour - this is not needed in MK.
First of all MK:SM isn't MK7 FACT, i would enjoy both RPG type games and Beat'em Ups for MK so it doesn't make you a hardcore fan just because you prefer Beat'em Up games as hardcore fans would like both game genres for MK and i want as many MK games that they can make.
Overall i am saying that this WOULD be a good idea AS a MMORPG but for a game on Xbox it would be naff.
I know what you could be thinking...how is a MMORP game different to a normal game with CAC, easy answer is the fact that in MMORPG game you could meet people like Reptile in certain ares during the game and do missions with them, and it would be like Matrix Online.
But a MK game on Xbox/PS with CAC would be different because this would be involved directly with the story and the main characters.
So i'm not dissing your idea, but i am and always will diss CAC mode in MK games.

Sounds like a Fable rip-off to me.

Hey, why not? Fable was great! Though I think it should be more KOTOR-ish.

i like this idea. i think it would be awesome first you name it and you start out like a hobo then you eventually can choose to be a ninja or a monk and if want to be the ninja you create your costume from mask to shoes and the color and everything, also maybe pick which clan to join. then choose if you want to be bad or good, if you choose good your story is pretty much what liu kangs traditionally is, if you choose evil you fight all the good allies and in the end probably defeat raiden and liu kang as the sub-boss. maybe also eliminate the bad bosses too if you want to be the major ruler of all rulers.

Theres one fatal flaw in this idea. There are only 2 scenarios you can play as. good & bad. Id rather play with each individual character's story. more replay value.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. Maybe having it so you could choose to play through as an existing character (Sub-Zero, Lui Kang, Cage, etc.) but I thought it might be less appealing, since we already know their stories.

Actually this is kinda of a cool idea. But buying armor for an MK game... armor in an MK game is about as useful as it would be in a martial arts movie. "Ah damnit, your Exploding Sword technique destroyed my Five Shadow Armor with only one slash." (Mmmmm, Exploding Sword technique.) Actually you should probably start off as a charismatic vagrant from Earth Realm who knows a couple generic martial arts and a basic sword skill. You travel about performing tasks big and small that change the realms making you either wicked or chivlarous while finding manuscripts that you can equip to gain stronger fighting and sword skills as well as little side stories (each short stories where you play as an MK character). While playing the game you access to diffrent clothes that you can change throughout game play (and is saved on a seperate file so if you start a new game you can load the clothes you found) and weapons. You'll end up with three possible alignments "Wicked (evil), Innocent (neutral), or Chivlarous (good)" though there could be several diffrent end stories that are only slightly effected by your alignment. (Such as you can go about and dominate the five realms destroying all in your way but still be Chivlarous).
