      This actually feels more like a father/son cycle of revenge within the Mishima household (starting with Jinpachi being deposed by Heihachi), with both the Hachijou and the Kazama matrilineal bloodlines creating complications for this cycle of revenge.
      Let's not forget also that there have already been two wars in Tekken 6 and 7.

    It's the first time I'm learning all this. Tekken 8 will be my first Tekken game. Also, great pronunciation of the names by Brian Cox

    Brian Cox had no idea this trailer would be available to watch outside of Japan. I applaud his openness to accepting absolutely any deal or offer on the back off an amazing role in Succession. Props!

    What an epic move by the Tekken Team to get a legend such as Brian Cox to not just show up, but commit and drop a fantastic recap. Bravo!

    Mr. Brian, thank you very much for your excellent summary, I've just finished the story mode and I'm in shock. Insane and exciting, I've never seen anything like it in 40 years of playing games

    I love Tekken since T2 , and Tekken 8 is amazing. Thank you so much for your work through the years 🙏🏻❤️
    What I wish for Tekken 8, is a TEAM BATTLE MODE (like the old ones) 👊
    Also it could be cool if you add a ranking list of the most played characters (when the game is not played, like the old ones)

    Brian Cox is a legend. I just hope he knows how much so many of us appreciate his career in film. He's both a great actor _and_ he's hilarious.
    Definitely didn't expect him narrating the saga of Tekken, but it's definitely memorable.
    Can he do a perfect EWGF, though?

    Aside from not mentioning Kazuya's T2 death & T4 resurrection, and the stuff of T4, T5 and T6, this is a pretty simple and to the point summary of the main story. They even seemed to be in on the joke of the ridiculousness of it with Brian Cox talking matter-of-factly the Mishima tradition of Patricidal cliff tossing.
