How do you think the idols would act with each other in 4??
In 1- Cousins with almost sibling rivalry.
In 2- Friends, have crushes on each other.
In 3- Friends act like family, with a hint of rivalry.
In 4 I hope- it's an actual family group, 4 of them. 2 of them are boys, 2 girls and 2 of them are competitive 2 are not.
although my pfp is no longer a potato I am and will forever be potato-man!!!!
@Potato-man I would love an actual family, and that seems possible since the Squid Sisters were cousins, so they have done it before. However, I am really hoping for more variety in species, meaning I want maybe something like a brother and sister, their friend, and a mutual frenemy? IDK.
No playable Octolings (or they're locked behind an unnecessary barrier)
I highly doubt Nintendo could do that without MAJOR backlash, so I don't think they will even try.
Deep Cut are neglected and left behind
Honestly, this is likely. Frye is my favorite idol, but I have a feeling all the old characters will eb left behind or only lightly referenced, rather than have any major appearences.
Splatfest is still flawed with even lamer themes
Eh, I like Fest themes as they are. Though I will be sad if there are no Anrachy Fests!
no returning hubs
This is pretty likely, but i don't mind.
no more Salmon Run
I thin this will be replaced rather than just outright being removed.
more weapon kits are a thing of the past (hah!)
Sadly, this is probable.
the story modes are still fun and the lore is mildly interesting but nothing too spectacular or groundbreaking
I hope not, I think we will get something very unique this time around!
very limited new hairstyles for Inklings and especially Octolings
Sadly you aren't wring here either....
(oh wait, they're the bad guys again)
I hope not but it is possible....?
still no new ranked modes
I doubt we won't get new modes! 3 had a bunch of other new stuff, but I think 4 will give us 1 (or maybe 2+) new modes!
no solution for too many matches ending prematurely
A good solution would be better servers lol, but if you mean you want bots then PLEASE NO!
posts are still 90% hot garbage and we still can't see our own
You are not wrong there smh.
no apartments
I never saw the appeal for this, and I think lockers were a better idea, personally!
a lack of offline modes
In theory, we will have more single player stuff. The last two games had 2 story modes, so I bet 4 will, too.
Personally, it'll be a disaster and a massive step back for the series. I'm going to hate it.
@Dev1024 Ya know... Everyone acts like 4 will be the big thing in S4, which is not "bad" per se, but 3 is such a nice number, while 4 feels like too much. "Quad Splashdown"? That's a bit much... "Killer Wail V4" That's a nerf. "Quad Inkstrike"? Please no! So while I am not against that... it could be very hard to balance! And like you said, pants would be neat, but equally tough to make feel fair.
So we know at the end of Alterna Mr. Grizz was launch into space and was seen floating around during the end credits. I REALLY don't believe this is the last we'll see of him (Or tar tar for that matter, team up maybe? but I digress). Since octolings and inklings are basically cool now we need a new enemy and I believe it is...
Rabbits. Hear me out
The fuzzy ooze is basically a sludge that makes anything have fur but also ink (Like the octolings we fought in Alterna) and we see Mr. Grizz do just this, still be considered a mammal... While also being able to shoot ink like inklings. That entails that all mammals will be able to do this. Say a certian space colony landed on the moon... A colony with mammals... Namely: Bears and bunnies.
Why rabbits specifically though? I feel as if that would just make the most sense since in the Splatoon concept art inklings were originally rabbits and would be a fun cameo. I'll fine tune this theory later but tell me your feed back when you get the chance!
@Anti-Matter my thoughts on.. well, your thoughts lol
Offline Mode contents like Ratchet & Clank games.
YES! I loved RotM, and SO wasn't bad, but I'd love more focus to be put into the singleplayer/offline modes.
Purchaseable stuffs (Weapons, Outfits, etc) Offline mode.
I would like to be able to access shops offline, but I presume this would only be possible if you have an NSO sub, but are in airplane mode or something.
More Rhythm mini games variety Offline mode.
I would love SquidBeatz to return, but hopefully with more depth.
Manual Ink color setting.
This seems to be a common request in the Splatoon community, and I am all for it, but it isn't a dealbreaker if it is absent.
Upgradeable weapons.
This could be interesting, but might be tough to balance. Perhaps a special mode that uses unique SO-style pallette weapons??

There's also mythology in East Asian cultures about moon rabbits (that was the basis for the Broodals in Mario Odyssey, for example), so this could play on that as well.
I'm hoping 4 has a long story mode. I love the Splatoon world but not the online multiplayer part 😅 tbh, what I really want is a spinoff game but I would take a standard game with a really beefy story mode.
@Bolt_Strike
See! I totally forgot about that and it makes so much sense. It would honestly be surprising for them NOT to do it at this point. Octavio (I think) is good now so we need a new villain

Ooh, I think you guys are cooking something there! I don't know how they could retcon more mammals into existence but if they can do it without breaking the lore? I am 100% on board!

The only problem is that Past won the splatfest and space usually is more related to the future. If they really rely on that Rabbits on the moon myth then maybe. Or they could start exploring the moon and find old relics of that one space colony that had Mr. Grizz
@Dev1024 Yes! They were close with evil Callie and fighting Deep Cut, but I want more! (evil laugh) Seriously, what if Li'l Judd teams up with another villain or something for S4? Perhaps a lady bunny, evil inkfish girl, perhaps a brand new species... or maybe (just maybe) a Queen Salmonid?
