Magic lol. 2.) Xun Yu is a woman in Kessen II. Yu Jin bats for the other team. Himiko, although historically having contact with Wei, was the queen of Japan and never cast magic/had a crush on Cao Cao. Uh...Liu Bei and Cao Cao were not brothers. That doesn't even make any sense. Li Dian did not wear a broom for a helmet. God, I could go on for hours. 3.) Amalia, Yoshino, etc. did not exist. Battle ninjer were rarely if ever used (this applies to kessen 1 and III). Mitsuhide did not shoot Nobunaga. Nobunaga did not survive Honnouji. I think the image of Matsunaga Hisahide as an old, conniving man is kabuki drama stuff. I'm not sure if he was like that historically. No and Nobunaga weren't anywhere near that close to one another. 4.) Kato and Kuroda both fought on the side of the Tokugawa at Sekigahara. The helmets in Kessen were made of win but I don't think most of them were realistic (I SAID MOST. I realize some like Masamune's were legit). Uh...Naomasa didn't die at Sekigahara. He was wounded but he died later. Kessen 1 comes closest imo to historical accuracy. Kessen 2 comes least close. But heck, historical accuracy would make the game boring. I'm not nitpicking here. I'm glad the games were the way they were. If they were historically accurate it would make me Kimahri a saaaaaaaaad dildo.
