Cleaner Tekken 8 Josie shots on my Twitter (can also refer to my release of this tweet, where I'll have a separate section available) twitter.com/NapBlack/status/1630939682493157379?s=20
Well said. The community in the Philippines have been positively supportive of Josie's presence throughout the game's lifespan & Namco has been fairly active in using the character in different projects. I wasn't a believer at first, but she is very likely to return for a variety of valid reasons. (Especially looking at it from TK7's new gen cast)
I though that was a false alarm from Harada's perspective (like a misunderstanding?). I think the TK team would ignore them for the most part & worse comes to shove, Josie would be way too successful to scrap, so I would think she would be DLC for the future. (I still see her in the base roster tho)
For sure. I managed to make a whole Twitter thread dedicated to that one image from both Kaz & Jin's trailers in 4K: twitter.com/NapBlack/status/1630939682493157379?s=20 ( YT 4K with a image program (snipping tool), but still very viewable).
The base design is like a white hoodie/red jacket with a small mix of yellow, with a black shirt. Also, having yellow earrings / necklace, most likely. In addition to the lipstick & similar TK7 hairstyle. I really didn't pay attention to the Jin trailer otherwise lol
The thing is. Since Heihachi is gone, Kuma wont have a story to tell. Him hiring Josie as a bodyguard would give him a fresh new story after Tekken 7. It can contrast with Xiaoyu and Panda's relationship. If Josie really is the model. Kuma could have been her manager. 😅
I'm mixed on this comment, but Kuma does have a story from both TK7 & TK6 that could easily flesh out both his character & relationship in meeting Josie from TK7. (Have a whole TK8 Josie story to progress her, Bruce & Kuma naturally for the 6 month timeskip) Giving us a dynamic like Xiaoyu & Panda, but a bit more fleshed out with depth would be nice.
I doubt they'd do it now. Wouldn't be difficult to set up, but there's no reason to outside of a temporary fluctuation on the internet to generate discussions/convos
@@NapBlack I have a feeling your right bro. I’ve seen your vid’s you seen to know your information quite well. So fingers crossed 🤞 as she one of my mains and I’d be more then happy 😁 to see her back.
@Blue Jay Thanks! The support is welcomed & while I've mostly done TK/Josie guides, most folks don't do the bare minimum research when it comes to these topics, so I had to. My "5 reasons" vid being the catalyst cause of 1 ignorant comment that sparked the topic vids that I've made throughout lol
I love the inclusion of Filipino characters across the video game media. From talim of soul calibur, zeri from league of legends, neon from valorant and Josie from tekken.
Glad that you see value in feeling represented. Hopefully, Josie will be DLC, as Namco now has the resources to revamp her moveset for a more traditional showing . Plenty of fans from the Philippines critiqued her not speaking Tagalog as well, so you can sell that as DLC cause of her success
I'd say her chances are pretty good. Out the new-gen cast, she's def one of more popular female characters & Namco has acknowledged that on numerous occasions, throughout TK7's lifespan ( 1 more year of this game too)
Well I hope she makes it in the roster. Since the Philippines have consistently hosted memorable Rev Majors which is part of the Tekken World Tour, which featured many iconic matches. To the point where in the last Rev Major, it was so god damn lit, they had to temporarily suspend and evacuate the audience because a literal fire started at the venue 😂They gotta reward those awesome events by adding Josie in. Plus in PH, the main fighting game scene is Tekken. Street Fighter, MVC and others don't even come close to how big the Tekken community is in PH. Regarding Josie being a model, I believe the main influence to this idea is because PH is known for reaching top 5 a lot in the Miss Universe beauty pageant contests. With PH having the most 1st place wins out of all Asian countries. If Josie doesn't make it to the base roster, I hope they at least add her in the future DLCs.
Truth be told, I'd say that they would definitely reveal Josie for Rev Major now since Namco has had the current trend of TK Characters being represented by their nationality. That's definitely a bonus, in addition to the large TEKKEN fandom in the Philippines. Also, I didn't know about that specific detail regarding the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant contests & the Philippines being so dominant! (Thanks! 👍🏾) Character identity is also becoming more prominent to TK8, so giving Josie a stunning look would do so much for what Namco generally wants to accomplish, alongside adding more to Josie's character since very few people are aware of her actual slice of life story. She's popular enough to be DLC if she doesn't make it in the base cast, so I can't be worried or disappointed.
You and I, we have been interacting on Twitter, hoping for Josie's return. Anyway, I wonder what Josie's fighter description would be (because every character gameplay reveal up to this point has been introducing each with one). Paul, for example, is the Hot-blooded Destroyer. So, let me nominate these three for Josie: 1. Determined Damsel 2. Fierce Fashionista 3. Fabulous Fighter The last two revolve around her being a model, of course. ;)
The more I think about it, the more I would imagine that Namco would emphasize her modelling career to flesh out what they set-up in Tekken 7. (& take advantage of this new visual engine)
For me it was CRUSHING that josie didn’t make the cut. As a kid I could only play Tekken a couple of times here and there in a physical arcade, wasn’t before Tekken Revolution I actually started becoming a player, then tekken 7 came out I finally was an economically stable adult at this point and could purchase it, decided to main Josie, managed to get to orange ranks, which I was damn proud of! Now it’s back to start from scratch as I can’t any other character😭👍🏽
It's funny cause at first I said that Josie missing the base cast wouldn't phase me until I got worried about Azucena. Then I remembered that Bruce founded the visuals & notations. UE5 reanimating moves from scratch, which means you'd overhaul your newer character for a more formal portrayal. (T8 is a bigger budget too)
My go to characters in Tekken are Nina, Lili & Jin. I like Josie, she's also one of my favorite characters. She does needs some improvements, like her martial art style & default costume. Her fighting style is said to be a mix of kickboxing & eskrima/ kali or arnis, but it's purely kickboxing or Muay Thai. Filipino Martial Arts is totally different. It's much more close quarter and brutal, much like the fighting style of Jason Bourne.
I actually made another video going over what Josie's design would likely be (Her being a model, as it's a core part of her character & allows her to forge her own identity). Her coming back also allows for so much potential to commit to a more fleshed out showing of Filipino martial arts (Also justifies a reason for Bruce & Josie to return, as Bruce can get an update for his Muay Boran style + Story mode role) Her visual redesign wouldn't look out of place with some of the other characters we've seen thus far. (Especially now that Jun & Asuka got dramatic glowups to their respective characters.)
I did as of recent within my Josie dlc topic vid. TK8 should ideally focus more on either that or formal escrima since the tk team are self aware of the criticisms towards the char & it doesn't help how that "Muay Thai" criticism/complaint also comes the obnoxiously vocal Bruce fandom (Not ALL of them, but most of the them)
@@NapBlack i dunno maybe as here in the philippines they're too strict especially when a name of a national hero copied as a player on tekken harada explains and not mean to offend on our national hero but to tribute to the tekken community in the philippines kinda sad cause the government here all they want is money money but now it changes thanks for the new elect of president.
That's fine. My comment section in this linked video, alongside my additional breakdown, have further complimented this exclusive Magazine advert for International fashion wear to be a Josie teaser: ruclips.net/video/GkGkJIoYk2U/видео.html
To summarize one of the Easter eggs: Jose Rizal is a Hero in Philippine history & was an inspiration for Josie Rizal's development in TEKKEN 7. This new magazine background for international clothing has a date, May 17 (common for all magazines to have one). Jose Rizal also has history on May 17 1857, in that one of his Tagalog translators, Pascaul Poblete, was born on that same day. (He translated Noli Me Tangere by Jose Rizal) ** Credit to Arvin from my comment section for that detail **
Thanks! I have a great attention to detail or so I'm told. I would say that I'm a good student, as I also have a strong memory (tho I suck with remembering names lol)
Likewise. Getting TEKKEN 8 to function without growing white hair has been my personal Dark Souls boss, so I can't say I've been in a satisfied, supportive mood outside of shifting to Non-gameplay topics. (This has also been difficult as of recently) The more, the merrier.
There's been considerable support to the character & plenty of updates to her international magazine teaser since the release of this vid. I guarantee they'd tease her for REV Major
Folks that cry about Josie's potential return can hold it to their chest. Josie fans have been harassed for 9 years because of Bruce's absence & literally T8's story shows how expendable he is. (No excuse for him missing story mode, so that's no longer a valid defense)
I mean... Josie still knows Kuma, but who knows what they'll do with that particular relationship with a 6 month timeskip. I don't trust Namco to give me a clear reason for that dynamic, but it does sound cool on paper for Josie, Xiaoyu & bear fans.
Nadine's last name Lustre is pronounced "lose" + "treh" or "trey" :) Also thank you for supporting Josie. I liked her. I wish you are right. I want her to be in 8.
Thanks! I'm awful with names, but remember faces & people well lol When we don't do our part, there becomes less of an incentive to include the characters that we value.
All the evidence throughout TK7's lifespan says otherwise for folks that disagree opinion wise (which isn't valuable at all in preventing Josie's return)
Truth be told, he's valuable to the story mode from Kaz's perspective & could easily be developed for tk8. Bryan was the "kickboxer" that replaced Bruce for 2 games until tk5 where we got both him & Bruce. They could easily do more with Bruce & Josie's gameplay ( I mean, look at how they've revamped Nina, Jin & Kazuya)
@@NapBlack Story or not, his design and background are basic. Fahk is in the same category too. Buff kickboxing guy. Is that you Sagat? Josie is a breath of fresh air from the stereotypes. Also, was she not in the Tekken Force? That's a good starting point to create a decent story. ALL imo, lol.
@Prod. by D For Josie? That was the intention, but they made it a joke in that she failed Kuma's test despite being worthy of joining the TK force in TK7's story mode. Opinions/preferences are welcomed, but adding to any char's story allows for roster spots, visual redesigns, gameplay overhauls,etc. (Jun returning as an example, with new concepts that are confirmed to be a fresh take from her Tag 2 rendition) Bruce could easily get a similar glow-up like Jun in those categories. The heat system, too, with everything that's been presented thus far.
maybe her tk8 story might be related now to Kuma and Chloe she can be chloes rival terms of brand deals then for kuma as his new owner since heihachi died edit* she can even promote female empowerment on the tekken force
Kuma's TK7 ending shows that Josie didn't get it despite being a capable fighter (It got played for bad jokes) Also, the Zaibatsu is no longer active if you refer to the TEKKEN 8 bios (I think it was Kaz's Bio?). Who knows what they'll do with Kuma. I do see Namco building a potential dynamic with Lucky Chloe & Josie since they are similar in how they're utilized in their respective occupations (I have a google doc of potential character relationships that would be realistic for Josie in TK8. Refer to my "Why Josie Is A Relatable Character" vid for the description)
Namco is self-aware and have utilized her in many diff ways. Folks have yet to give me a real reason why they'd completely scrap vs the other TK7 characters? (Female cast especially)
TK fans embrace that fact too every day with social media. More news in my community tab and/or Twitter: twitter.com/NapBlack/status/1644726841989529601?s=20
If josie comes back, i wish they give her some kali sticks ,since nina can use a gun in her moveset, also law he can use nunchuck's in his moveset, because josie had escrima/arnis as her main martial arts its pointless if shes not using any kali sticks, and also change her atitude a lil bit to more mature and independent, not childlike atitude, that way people can't hate her anymore. And ofcourse a Filipino voice for God sake.
Very likely she'll be dlc due to her utility. That would also let BN overhaul her gameplay too. Namco loves rinsing & repeating the status quo, but it's rare for dlc tk chars to gain a major glow up all around Stay tuned & thanks for watching
Yes I do. TEKKEN 8 screams personality & Chloe has been better utilized than most of the TK7 era characters. Her & Josie will be in the next game. New tierlist vid tomorrow
Just sharing evidence to the uneducated & ignorant. If I was "coping," there wouldn't be anything note worthy here at all. "Also, I love this Jacket, I need to find somewhere to custom make one for personal use, 😉"
Mhmm..... sure. That's why the TK team scrapped him in TK3, missed TK4, has barely been utilized externally in consistently positive or effective ways like Josie for 9 years, got replaced twice in TK7 & Azucena has taken his founding Muay Thai/Kickboxer notations. (Doesn't help that fans harass the team & Josie fans despite the objective evidence of her success)
@@GoldBlues Great. Outdated tag 2 data vs 9 years of TK7 history of gameplay + marketing outside of gameplay for Josie. Subjective preferences like souless demands don't mean character renewals
Josie needs her own move list and not be a bruce clone. Philipino kickboxing is a real thing. Tekken developers should look into it. Gender swap is not cool.
I agree. The criticisms enhance the chance at a DLC revamp & they have the budget. We've seen how the majority of the TK8 chars play, so they could easily pull it off & profit from it. (The 2 do play diff strategically speaking tho)
Yeah she needs a rework of her personality. But she has a lot to work with. Tbh as a Thai I prefer her as a SEA representative to Fahk. Straight cardboard blud is
I agree. Josie seems salvagable with her eventual presence. It would make too much sense to give her more confidence as a character. (In her case, adding more to her looks) I'd say Fahk could almost be recovered too, as you could give him a tekken 8 char, that's tied to his story & could be setup as a rival & ally. Essentially giving him an identity to work with, in addition to adding context to his personality. (I see him as dlc personally)
@@NapBlack a degree of unsurety and apprehension is super relatable tbh. But try went mad overboard with it she a straight caricature As much as I'd love a Thai filipino rivalry that straight up not happening lol. Fahk has a great muay thai inspired moveset I appreciate but mans got nothing in t7, considering popular opinion of him doubting he coming back
@KanomBaby I meant a separate character. Not Josie regarding fahk's narrative. (We know next to nothing outside of his family, but a new og character would be easier to give more context to fahk's undercooked narrative for the sake of perspective & their own narrative of course) Dlc exists & I would say that would be easier to present since Fahk left a sour taste in people's mouth. Thai Uppercut is likely tho, who knows. I personally wouldn't bring him back at all, but it's better for me to try to see the bigger picture.
I actually see the character coming back, since they'll likely revisit tekken 3's events. Worse comes to shove, he's Free DLC for Tekken 7's last character
@@MilesParker475 He's very likely to return too, given how Kaz is a more prominent focus & Bruce is tied to him in TK's Story. Him & Josie are likely to be in the game & these recent TK8 trailers Basically confirmed that characters will be having their movesets overhauled, so Josie + Bruce will def standout from one another (Bryan too, since they're all kickboxers)
You say no, but the evidence & established application from Harada & Namco's prior projects says otherwise. (Show me another new gen character that's not Josie, who gets this support besides Leroy, Claudio & Chloe?) The facts > desires & preferences

I feel like the popularity of Tekken in the Philippines should be enough reason to keep her. I hope she comes back
Well said. The community in the Philippines have been positively supportive of Josie's presence throughout the game's lifespan & Namco has been fairly active in using the character in different projects.
I wasn't a believer at first, but she is very likely to return for a variety of valid reasons.
(Especially looking at it from TK7's new gen cast)
The problem was that a culture government organization here in Philippines were against it, I hope Harada ignores them
I though that was a false alarm from Harada's perspective (like a misunderstanding?). I think the TK team would ignore them for the most part & worse comes to shove, Josie would be way too successful to scrap, so I would think she would be DLC for the future.
(I still see her in the base roster tho)
now that we've seen the photos in better quality and with larger crop to see more parts of the face
im like 85% confident thats josie

The base design is like a white hoodie/red jacket with a small mix of yellow, with a black shirt. Also, having yellow earrings / necklace, most likely. In addition to the lipstick & similar TK7 hairstyle.
I really didn't pay attention to the Jin trailer otherwise lol
The thing is. Since Heihachi is gone, Kuma wont have a story to tell. Him hiring Josie as a bodyguard would give him a fresh new story after Tekken 7. It can contrast with Xiaoyu and Panda's relationship. If Josie really is the model. Kuma could have been her manager. 😅

Glad that you see value in feeling represented.
Hopefully, Josie will be DLC, as Namco now has the resources to revamp her moveset for a more traditional showing .

Plus in PH, the main fighting game scene is Tekken. Street Fighter, MVC and others don't even come close to how big the Tekken community is in PH.

I do see Namco building a potential dynamic with Lucky Chloe & Josie since they are similar in how they're utilized in their respective occupations (I have a google doc of potential character relationships that would be realistic for Josie in TK8. Refer to my "Why Josie Is A Relatable Character" vid for the description)
Josie is too cute to note come back
Namco is self-aware and have utilized her in many diff ways. Folks have yet to give me a real reason why they'd completely scrap vs the other TK7 characters? (Female cast especially)
TK fans embrace that fact too every day with social media.
More news in my community tab and/or Twitter: twitter.com/NapBlack/status/1644726841989529601?s=20
If josie comes back, i wish they give her some kali sticks ,since nina can use a gun in her moveset, also law he can use nunchuck's in his moveset, because josie had escrima/arnis as her main martial arts its pointless if shes not using any kali sticks, and also change her atitude a lil bit to more mature and independent, not childlike atitude, that way people can't hate her anymore.
And ofcourse a Filipino voice for God sake.
Very likely she'll be dlc due to her utility. That would also let BN overhaul her gameplay too.
Namco loves rinsing & repeating the status quo, but it's rare for dlc tk chars to gain a major glow up all around
Stay tuned & thanks for watching
Pls bring her back Harada. She's my main
Not sure if Harada has actually seen this, but the team is always observing when fans are constructive.
She'll be fine.
Do you think lucky chloe has a high chance being on tekken 8?
Yes I do. TEKKEN 8 screams personality & Chloe has been better utilized than most of the TK7 era characters. Her & Josie will be in the next game.
New tierlist vid tomorrow

Share down below why you don't see Josie returning? Even with all this context established?
I have not seen Lei Wulong
Unfortunate for you then. I'm not the TK team.
im coping too
Just sharing evidence to the uneducated & ignorant. If I was "coping," there wouldn't be anything note worthy here at all.
"Also, I love this Jacket, I need to find somewhere to custom make one for personal use, 😉"
Joise is such bruce is best
Mhmm..... sure. That's why the TK team scrapped him in TK3, missed TK4, has barely been utilized externally in consistently positive or effective ways like Josie for 9 years, got replaced twice in TK7 & Azucena has taken his founding Muay Thai/Kickboxer notations.
(Doesn't help that fans harass the team & Josie fans despite the objective evidence of her success)
@NapBlack many Korean bruce user like him you know
@@GoldBlues Great. Outdated tag 2 data vs 9 years of TK7 history of gameplay + marketing outside of gameplay for Josie.
Subjective preferences like souless demands don't mean character renewals
@NapBlack okay do you know tekken Korean player
@@GoldBlues There's more to tekken than GOAT'ed Korean players who like/miss Bruce :)
Josie needs her own move list and not be a bruce clone. Philipino kickboxing is a real thing. Tekken developers should look into it. Gender swap is not cool.
I agree. The criticisms enhance the chance at a DLC revamp & they have the budget. We've seen how the majority of the TK8 chars play, so they could easily pull it off & profit from it.
(The 2 do play diff strategically speaking tho)
Yeah she needs a rework of her personality. But she has a lot to work with. Tbh as a Thai I prefer her as a SEA representative to Fahk. Straight cardboard blud is
I agree. Josie seems salvagable with her eventual presence. It would make too much sense to give her more confidence as a character. (In her case, adding more to her looks)
I'd say Fahk could almost be recovered too, as you could give him a tekken 8 char, that's tied to his story & could be setup as a rival & ally.
Essentially giving him an identity to work with, in addition to adding context to his personality. (I see him as dlc personally)
@@NapBlack a degree of unsurety and apprehension is super relatable tbh. But try went mad overboard with it she a straight caricature
As much as I'd love a Thai filipino rivalry that straight up not happening lol. Fahk has a great muay thai inspired moveset I appreciate but mans got nothing in t7, considering popular opinion of him doubting he coming back
@KanomBaby I meant a separate character. Not Josie regarding fahk's narrative. (We know next to nothing outside of his family, but a new og character would be easier to give more context to fahk's undercooked narrative for the sake of perspective & their own narrative of course)
Dlc exists & I would say that would be easier to present since Fahk left a sour taste in people's mouth. Thai Uppercut is likely tho, who knows. I personally wouldn't bring him back at all, but it's better for me to try to see the bigger picture.
bring back Mokujin
I actually see the character coming back, since they'll likely revisit tekken 3's events.
Worse comes to shove, he's Free DLC for Tekken 7's last character
@@NapBlack yea I really hope he comes back also bruce
@@MilesParker475 He's very likely to return too, given how Kaz is a more prominent focus & Bruce is tied to him in TK's Story.
Him & Josie are likely to be in the game & these recent TK8 trailers Basically confirmed that characters will be having their movesets overhauled, so Josie + Bruce will def standout from one another (Bryan too, since they're all kickboxers)
@@NapBlack thanks for the info I really appreciate it
@@MilesParker475 no problem! Someone had to do it!
no. please
You say no, but the evidence & established application from Harada & Namco's prior projects says otherwise.
(Show me another new gen character that's not Josie, who gets this support besides Leroy, Claudio & Chloe?)
The facts > desires & preferences
