I was on board until I heard 'younger Hope'. That means HopexLightning will never happen.

I fully expect the story of this game to be completely ludicrous and utter crap but damn if everything else is looking pretty good. I gotta admit, the thought of battling against Snow and Noel sounds like a lot of fun. I plan to hand Snow his ass and then try and make friends with Noel.

Also, as much as I want this to be the end of this franchise, I must admit I wouldn't mind a Noel spinoff game. I really liked him as a character.
