Now I was thinking what if we include both Steel on Bone and Dismemberment together? Dismembering body parts will not be easy as it was in NG2 as you will need Steel on Bone to use, to cut and to dismember the enemy.



Just imagine pressing X button to cut through the body and the final act of violence will allow Ryu to rip the sword off the body and the result will see the body part coming off.

Joe Hayabusa also performed Ninja Jumping when fighting Crimson in the NGS2 Prologue right because he performed flying swallow and izuna dropping Crimson. I love the ending for NG3 when Ryu started jumping from building to building. This is something I would love to see be done and playable in NG4.

It would be amazing with the Real Time Event and we can just push "Directional Left/Right + X (A)" to perform Ninja Jumping. Although we could perform Ninja Jump during NG3's RTE however Ryu only does it to jump off a building or car.

For NG3 the story altered the gameplay a lot, in fact the story played a big role according to NG3's gameplay. One was to do with the Grip of Murder that prevented Ryu from being too powerful and loosing his trademark weapon The Dragon Sword. Another was due to savage killing, the more Ryu kills the more his arm hurts him and thus making the curse spread.

Of course we cannot repeat the same scenario to NG4 unless we think of another new feature to replace this story changing gameplay.
I already noted previously that I wanted a female lead character to rival Ryu in NG4. I was thinking what if this woman keeps provoking Ryu to kill? Let's say the women stole or someone inflicted Ryu's conscience, she knows a way of telepathy to connect with Ryu and the person he's about to kill.



Ok imagine this scenario, you are about to kill this lesser enemy who begs for his life.
Now your rival invades Ryu's mind, and starts questioning you what would you do? what is the reason you need to take this man's life?
Basically in this moment will initiate a narrative dialogue sequence. She'll speak to Ryu and almostly convincing Ryu to change his mind and not to kill him.
Like I said above she has the power of "telepathy", she'll then send an illusion vision of all the bad things the guy has done in his life. This bad deeds will shock Ryu as the player, thus giving Ryu (the player) more reason to kill the pleading enemy.
ref: to Mortal Kombat (MK9) the scene with Quan Chi as he convinced Scorpion it was Sub Zero who murdered his family.


Moving on to NG3 and with the Salvic Curse/Grip of Murder that hurts Ryu's arm, what similar feature can we implement to NG4? To be original, we do not have to use the same curse and make something hurt Ryu's body. What if we say Ryu starts to build a conscience, an emotion for all the killings he has been doing? For an example he kills someone and he doesn't think about if the man was married or has kids, making the children fatherless and wife a widow.
These conscience and emotion thinking will be linked to the Mind telepathy the rival sends to control Ryu's mind and action. By that I don't mean the rival will mentally control Ryu's mind, she just gives Ryu a reason to end his enemies lives.

Basically during a bit in the story, a character can just ask you "Are you prepared to do this?", Ryu would answer back "There's something I need to take care of first". Now from this moment on you can select a destination to pick. Right now I have Muramasa and Hayabusa village at thought. Obviously the player will pick the location in the map and Ryu would travel there.
If NG4 would exclude Muramasa again then Ryu can use the Hayabusa Village to get his gears upgraded by the ninjas of the village.

This works in reference to The Darkness 2, before embarking on a mission, Vinnie would ask you if you are all set and ready. If you pick No, you have a chance to explore your house before accepting the mission. This is how NG4 can play.

Just imagine during the final bits of Ninja Gaiden 3, when Regent and Ryu saw off Mizuki to "treat her pretty face", Regent said to Ryu "Let's Go Hayabusa". Now re-inventing this scenario and imagining using the Selectable Destination. Regent would in fact ask Ryu "Are you ready to do this Hayabusa?". This will then give you a choice to transverse back to locations you've already been too.
