Where's the oldschool offline grind?

[Liraamz]

Hi, I loved beating AI again and again while getting higher in rank (from Beginner to Tekken God+) in the previous games (Arcade mode in T5, Ghost battle in T6 & TTT2, Treasure Battle in T7). In these modes, you just fight one AI after another for hours while ranking up your characters individually.

In Tekken 8, I finished the Arcade Quest mode an hour ago and i'm pretty disappointed about the Super Ghost Battle mode. Is there any way to fight non-stop like before? Or am I stuck forever fighting the same exact harada-tekken ghost on Feng, making the """offline grind""" extremely boring and pointless (especially when you can't even see your character's rank unless you ARE in combat. Where's the satisfaction if you can't see your progress?)

If there is no such a mode in the game, i'd be really disappointed as an oldschool Tekken Fan. And I'm pretty sure a lot of players aren't buying a Tekken game to only play online

Totally agreed with you. I would rather that they included Treasure Battle again that this garbage quest mode that after a few hours is completed and don't offer anymore for the player that enjoy offline content.

I spent an insane amount of hours on Treasure Battle, practicing combos with a lot of characters, ranking them up and unlocking content.

the grind is in the quest part. you will see npcs with tiny icons on them and some with treasure boxes.

Sure, I've already done that. It took me only a few hours. Now what?

[Liraamz]

Same here, those 30 NPCS definitely ain't much. We spend more time playing the avatar in this mode than playing TEKKEN, that's not what i call a grind

[JIN]

so single content for a couple hours?

(I would not exactly call Tekken 5 old school.)

Rank up in the battle against ghosts. Download new ghosts from the network and add them to your list of rivals

Games are getting shallower and buggier, as their prices increase...

Hope we'll get it in a future update

after beating the quest mode i walk up to a machine and nothing happens what are you referring to? is it a specific machine or??

Treasure battle was a lot of fun. I guess they didn't bother so they didn't have to develop more gear?

In general the singleplayer content is weired...
I mean, almost everything is there, but very barebones.

Examples:
• No endless mode like treasure battle,
• A cpu vs cpu mod, but hte cpu quality is horrible so it's almost worthless to watch them fight
• The costumization obtions is 90% the same for every character and 95% the same we already had in tekken 7
• The ghost could be a much better addition, e.g. add them to cpu mode {let your ghost fight against another ghost and let them train while you make your biobreak ;-)}

just to name a few (for me important) shortcoming.

I remember that Tekken 5 had this mode where the AI would become a huge pain in the ass at some ranks. It was pretty rage inducing.

That's such a letdown. I loved maining and leveling offline every character in tekken 7 in treasure mode, battle after battle non-stop.
The game looks really cool but without a single player mode like that, it's just not interesting for me. I don't want to fight once, then walk with my character to talk to another npc, then fight once, then again walk with my character... Boring.
I'm just gonna download tekken 7 and play treasure mode again.

This is literally the most single player content Tekken has ever had, you tourist.
