... are saying that, because her story in MK:DA was weak, she should be excluded from MK:D. Her story *was* weak, so what?
Given the presence of Mileena, Sindel, and Liu Kang's apparition, ALL indicators point to this being the PERFECT time to make Kitana a critical part of the entire game. *All* the pieces on the table suggest she could be a pivotal character in the MK:D, and I'd hate to see the opportunity missed.
Everything points to Kitana - it's like we've got all the spokes in the wheel officially announced, just not the hub herself - this is a golden opportunity to write her back into the storyline in an awesome and exciting new way. So her story's been weak of late - so what? The premise - a beautiful and immortal princess from a lost and mysterious realm, whose beauty is matched only by her grace, regal presence, and deadly fighting prowess - is still as great as it was the day she was conceived!
How can anybody say otherwise? The writing's on the wall - I'd hate to see her written off when there's A) so many fans pulling for her, and B) the perfect time to make her an integral part of the new direction standing before us.
Her story in MK:DA *was* pretty much a throwaway - we can all concede that, die-hard and casual Kitana fans alike. But what you can't deny, knowing what we know about MK:D thus far, is that the time to write her back in prominently would never be better than with all the related characters appearing as they are in MK:D.
Keep your fingers crossed, Kitana fans - I don't think we're out of the game just yet!!

"OmegaSupreme" you made a pretty good point. Lui Kang, Sindel, Mileena, Tanya are all in the game why cant kitana. It would be totally dumb not to have her in there. Hopefully boon will add her in the game that is if shes not already in there just not confirmed yet.
all us kitana fans should go picket the midway offices..... lol....i could care less 4 the story shes a great fighter,now since mkd will be online i can show all those people that said she was a bad fighter in mkda...but in reality she is just a hard fighter to learn...meaning u needed skills to b good w/ her!!!!! unlike the other females of mkda...

I like her as well, but I seriously don't think she's going to be a select screen character.

^ Actually, I already sent an email to midway. Of course, it was only from me, but I named the multitude of Kitana fans as being included as well ;)
Seriously, send them an email asking for Kitana to appear *in playable form*. Conquest mode doesn't count :p Be polite, courteous, and sincere - I think Midway, more than almost any company I can think of in this industry, is indeed willing to please their fanbase. Of course, every company wants their fans happy, but few will actually go out of their way to do so - Midway seems like an exception to this rule, so I encourage anybody who's inclined to send them a brief and honest letter, stating your hopes to see Kitana, and offering a few good reasons for her inclusion, too, above and beyond "she's my favorite."
We'll see what happens :) The game is still a long way off - no telling, but petitioning could actually make a difference, as we're still relatively far off from release.
Get typin!
And yeah, if anybody sets up an official "Please Include Kitana in Mortal Kombat: Deception's Roster" petition, make sure you post it to this site!!

I say give other characters a chance!
I think Kitana wont be in deception, why? Simple:
Sindel is in.
Li Mei is in.
Tanya is in.
and finally, Mileena is in.
Yes, you think thats why she will be, but its what they want us to think.
Besides, just cause Sindel and Mileena are in the game, it does not mean Kitana will be. (MkG? MKDA?)
I think its awesome we finally see Mileena alone, and the same for Sindel. If Kitana is in, the story will most likely be the same stupid crap.
Let characters evolve in better ways. Im more then happy with all the outworl/edenia females and I hope they stay like that. Kitana is not needed in this game. But she can comeback for any future mk I guess.

Kitana owns....it would suck bad if she's not in the new game, I enjoyed her much in MK:DA...
I do know, however, how she ties in...

They can't have all characters in one game. She was in DA, so she can step back for Deception and leave an empty spot for one of the classic combatants that missed MK Gold and Deadly Alliance.
There are fans of every single fighter and I believe what they're trying to do is bring back some of the heroes that were missing in action for a long period of time.
With the presence of Sindel and Mileena I'm sure her absence will be explained and justified. Probably she's not in Deception, but it doesn't mean she's not doing something behind the scenes.
She's my favorite female character, but what I'm going to do is give a chance to some of the other ladies. Personaly, I can't wait to play with Ashra and Tanya.

Go to www.midway.com, and find their contact area. I just used the general questions link, since there really isn't a dedicated address for "Mortal Kombat: Deception Feedback" ;)
And Vikiv: Most everything you based your reasoning on was speculation, worst part being the assumption that if Kitana is included, she'll contribute to the 'same old stupid crap.' How do you know what they'd so with her if she's in or out? With Mileena, Sindel, and even Liu returning (?), when will the chance be *better* to fix mistakes of the past?
My original post was a posting of possibilities - characters and events that we already *know* are in Deception, that open up many possibilities for Kitana's involvement. This much is indisputable: if the MK team wants to revitalize the character, they've crafted the *perfect* time in which to do it. As I said above, the character premise is as sound as the day she was introduced - you don't get any better than a beautiful and elegant, immortal princess from a lost realm... and the fans are a trademark that Midway better not pass on to *ANYBODY* else. So they've dropped the ball with her in the past - that sure as hell doesn't mean they can't pick it up again and make it right this time around.
The only excuse at this point for not including her is if she's dead, or somehow imprisoned or incapacitated. They've got *everything* that ever meant *anything* to Kitana in this game - I can't believe that they'd set her up for a pivotal role of some kind, only to absently forget to include her in the end.
Kitana's presence is far from certain - but it's also far from excluded. We'll have to wait and see!

Addendum: The *ONLY* person who I'd find acceptible to passing Kitana's fans along to, barring her own inclusion, is her mother, Sindel. It's an elegant weapon of royalty, not a converted farm tool of the masses.

Actually, I love sindel a lot more! She is my second fave female!

when i went to midway.com i clicked on "contact" at the bottom of the page, then it took me to some screen with a bunch of email addresses. I didnt know which one to send it to. I sent it to games@midway.com. I think thats how it was written. hopefully it was the correct one.

^ As I said, there's not a 'click here to offer feedback on MK6' link, so most any is as good as the next, I suspect (the farthest astray any given email could end up is a few doors down from where it needs to be, anyway, since they share the same office building ;)

They all sucked and hopefully they all died. Aslong as they come up with a reasonale reason of why they died I'm happy since they all were lame MK fighters and imo would be slaughtered by the MK:D cast.

Well, the new GameInformer article gives us reason for optimism... more characters yet to be revealed, and it sounds like there's plenty of surprises yet to come...
Kitana fans, keep them fingers crossed... I think we may just come out ahead at the end of the day ;)
