I dont believe anything wikipedia says. There is more to Yue Ying than meets the eyes. She was a good parent too.

her wikipedia... it doesnt say that..

Well, barring whether the information is real or not - her Wiki doesn't say that, the Wiki for DW characters does.

Wow, it's so amazing to see such positive responses. And that the women of DW get lots of love (I never in a million years would have thought the Qiao's would be as popular as this!).

Yue Ying is far and above my favorite female character in the DW series, alongside Sun Shang Xiang. I feel her US voice was pretty good in DW4, and faltered a bit in DW5, however it still doesn't really capture her character. The use of the bland and overly doting "my husband" instead of the respectful "Koumei(Kongming)-sama" in reference to Zhuge Liang changes her from a wise devotee to Shu's greatest mind to just another "wife character."


Awesome! And OH MY GOD, I know. My first long term DW exposure was DW5 on XBOX which had the Japanese voice track. I was listening and kept going 'Wait, she said Koumei-sama not 'My Husband' that's danna and what the hell she introduced herself as Getsuei not 'the wife of Zhuge Liang!'! Koei! Stop that!'.

If I could only have her DW5 looks(best looking female in that game!) combined with her DW4 or MO self, things would be much better.

But why stop there? They could make her a more matriarchal character, acting as a sort of empathic foil to Zhuge Liang's coolheaded leadership in relation to Jiang Wei, Wei Yan, Xing Cai, or any other late-era Shu characters they add to DW.

And I have big hopes for her weapon/moveset in DW6... though I think my idea of a gatling crossbow might be a bit of a stretch.


Agreed and agreed (on that note, I couldn't believe how downgraded Zhen Luo and Shang Xiang's designs were - I was very sad). One note in DW5 that I missed was that her outfit resembled cloth more than anything; In DW4 they had practical armor and in DW5 they removed the stomach/chest plate and put in cloth.

See, I think that's a great idea too. It reminds me of what I've read/seen in Japanese DW fandom (I think that in DW4, they started a trend where everyone called her Mama or something) and that would be a great addition. I've always hoped that they'd have her acting as more of a mother to Xing Cai, Guan Ping and especially Jiang Wei who I'd imagine she feels very very maternal towards (as well as prodigalish). Especially since I doubt they'd add Zhuge Zhan, seeing as how he didn't do much of anything.

Oh man, that'd be amazing.
Or hell, have them raid Japan and give her guns. <3

I absolutely love Yue Ying, shes such an awesome character and my favourite female along with Zhen Ji, but they stuffed them both up in DW5, they're both basically completely reliable on there husbands (Cao Pi this, Zhuge Liang that), that even is further illustrated in DW5 XL, from both in DW4 fighting for their ideals, kingdom and to better themselves, its a crying shame that they changed them, hopefully in 6 this will be amended, they can both still and cherish their husbands but to an extent (in Ji's case not at all), I believe Yue Ying can be portrayed as so much more than she is and hopefully Koei will send her on the right track.


YES~, yes they did. And even Zhen Luo got better writing (In her Musou, she at least kept noting that Cao Pi met -her- standards and that he was -her- equal). And that cat fight was amusing in a shallow way, but really didn't do much for me either.

So yes - total agreement with you there!

I like her moveset...and she's got an alright personality. But her..fangirl attitude towards my least favorite Three Kingdoms character makes me kinda lose respect.


Bwahahah, I know. I think she needs to stop that too.
