I really believe that's true

Just look at the character designs, we can see they've put a lot of effort in it, that's why I can't stand some people criticizing deception, imo this is going to be the best mk EVER

I think the story will be more cintricate than ever before and there'll be a lot of twists in it. I think it wil most likely be more detailed and a lot of gaps wil be filled in where there wre once holes which generated many questions. You mentioned character development and I hope they'll add more character background, especially for those returning characters like Sindel and Kabal.

To get the fullest and best MK story, everything is going to have to be deatiled, accurate and there should be no gaps. There should just be many openings towards the end for the Deception they're talking about, or even have that in the main story fueling what happens next.

I think this would be a perfect time for the deeper relationships in the game to shine.

I think Liu Kang and Kitana's relationship should be focused on a bit more.

and I think Mileena should be a bit more introspective, especially her relationship with Baraka. To me, Mileena's always been kind of an interesting character. It wasn't until MKG when we realized that she's not just an evil bitch jealous of Kitana. She really believed that SHE was the princess of Edenia, that she was more than a clone.
