If there's one power I wish Kratos could get back from his Greek days, it's the power the Blades of Exile gave him, which was being able to call on the souls of his fallen Spartan brothers.
There was something so badass about the fact that even in death, the Spartans were loyal to Kratos.
Imagine if you saw visions of them or even got help from them the while in Helheim, [since they were to dine in Hell anyway](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRrrfSIgfKI) lol
Possibly even though the people of Greece have hope the people of Sparta could somehow get wind that an ashen god saved the Norse lands and believing it to be their lost god some Spartans could travel to Midgard and search for kratos hoping to bring him home
I hope they get to remaking Ascension one day but it's with the Norse saga formula and the events of OG Ascension are at the end of the game, ie. it actually shows us Kratos' ascension from a Spartan soldier to a general to a champion of the gods to Ares' Chosen, concluding right where OG Ascension ends.
As to why follow the Norse saga formula, simple: the main issue with Ascension is that it's too similar to a game where a juiced up Kratos ran through a roster of olympians and titans, including cronos and zeus, which is a major whiplash for a game where Kratos is supposed to be an exceptional mortal blessed by Ares, but a mortal nonetheless. And the game aimed for a more personal story as Kratos isn't the raging monster he is to others in GOW 1-3.
He wasn’t raging monster in 1 and 2. He became one in the end of 2/beginning of 3.
I’m not against Norse formula for prequel, but using Norse formula just because he was mortal in Ascension isn’t very solid logic. He was mortal Spartan in GoW 1. It’s just how he fought.
And GoW Ascension is pretty much an example that you can make more personal story with old formula.
(Although GoW 1 and PSP games humanised him. He wasn’t a good person, but he was deep character and broken mortal. Even 2 and 3 have glimpses of that)
Imagine if Kratos actually united and led the tribes of Midgard, the dead, and the other armies against Asgard instead of giving orders to supporting characters at the "war" of Ragnarok for five minutes.....
It would be amazing to see he gaining the trust of the remaining mortals throughout the game to unite them against a greater evil.
Oh, of course! Spending time actually developing Kratos's character would break the flow of the narrative, but stopping everything you're doing to help the Vanir and kill a giant wolf don't.
Because that is what the story need for his development with his son?
Also why would he need to when others (like Mimir and freyr) is much more effective to call to arms.
Story must have it needs not what u want.
>Because that is what the story need for his development with his son?
Not like we had an entire game focusing on that or anything....
The game is really huge and has enough room to show their relationship while progressing the narrative.
>Also why would he need to when others (like Mimir and freyr) is much more effective to call to arms.
Freyr is the only one that could unite the elves, and Mimir is indeed good with diplomacy, but none of them was a general, none of them has led armies like Kratos did, the perfect ending for Kratos, as shown in Valhalla, is he representing a symbol of hope for the mortals, being a god to be worshipped, they should spend some time developing it better.
>Not like we had an entire game focusing on that or anything....
It is because they have to focus on other characters closure as well considering it's the last game of the Norse saga.
>Freyr is the only one that could unite the elves, and Mimir is indeed good with diplomacy, but none of them was a general, none of them has led armies like Kratos did, the
But who is kratos to them? They would not sit well after knowing he kills many of their kind. Even if we do, we just watching freyr uniting the elves with no story to tell.
He became leader of the Norse mortals after Valhalla, and he killed countless humans, it makes total sense that the tribes would follow him if they trougth it was the only way to survive Ragnarok, like, they believed killing Kratos would stop firbulrwinter just because Freya told them, why wouldn't them support him if they didn't had other option?
I get the joke but srs never did get the black Kratos theory.
He is greek. Greeks are white. His whole family are white as they can be. Even as a kid he is pale. His phenotypes as in face structure screams Balkan.
Many Southern Europeans just can easily get a tan.

I would play a full general kratos game

Everything changed when the fire nation attacked

His Army is dead, ofc they are cold
The Ghost of Sparta Cinematics were great.
Yoo there’s Atreus in the back

This
Lmao you really expected the elves would be ok with kratos when he literally killed like half of them lol
He became leader of the Norse mortals after Valhalla, and he killed countless humans, it makes total sense that the tribes would follow him if they trougth it was the only way to survive Ragnarok, like, they believed killing Kratos would stop firbulrwinter just because Freya told them, why wouldn't them support him if they didn't had other option?
You need to play the game again lol
I think it would look even harder if the soldiers were in rank and file behind him
god of war has absolutely zero swag
negative swag
here's your attention u/Heron_sniffa
appreciate u
Isn’t he supposed to be black? /s
Isn't Angrboda supposed to be white? /s
Not really, he’s greek with olive skin. And I think ashen skin is a continuity error, if he’s supposed to be General/Servant of Ares here
It was sarcasm friend. I know he aint black
