it marked the first game of the tekken series to have character conversations (aside from julia's tekken 3 ending, in which she speaks to michelle). some may speak in other languages (in part of hwoarang's ending, jin kazama speaks in english). it is also the first game having each characters to speak in the beginning for story mode. in the background, sketches are seen that follow the characters story. some may appear in the epilogue of a characters ending.
