Btw I think Koei Doesnt Need to Improve their Marketing Strategies..not in Japan but Outside becuase People outside Japan Dont like that much Both Games.... but I think that musou Orochi is the best Thing that Koei can Make to be a Great gift for the Fans Arround the World :P

Yeah, Koei needs to create a presence in the west. Thus they to change their marketing strategy in the west. They're probably doing OK in japan, since they keep releasing stuff.

Costume changes would be a great addition...

DW and SW characters combined from their previous games.

Also, if original voice actors returned, that would be awesome!

I believe this game will hit stateside. My reasoning is because:


On the KOEI UK/US forums a user suggested Gundam Musou thread/forum. The Admin of these forums who works at Koei said:

At this time a North American release has not been determined. Your patience is appreciated.

Thus there is no forum there on the site.


But on the forums there is a Orochi Musou one. Which means according to the Admin EvilRuler, that the Orochi Musou was determined to be stateside/Uk as well.

Gameplay has hardly anything to do with it. Selling games to the casual gamer is much more about marketing strategy and getting on the good side of reviewers.

I'm gonna wait until this game is either officially announced overseas or have US ver screenshots out, before I'll stop bothering about this game. (It depends whether it'll be announced before or after JP release...)

Anyway, it looks like the blue counterpart of the Power&Technique thing is Speed.

And take this with a grain of salt, but I hear that every character can call horses with R3, and to switch characters you use R2/L2.

EDIT: apparently, the above ones are 100% confirmed.

Also, each styles have their own characteristics.

Power-type
Stat enchancement: Hyper Armor
Won't get flinched by enemy attacks

Type action: Finisher Technique
Powerful crowd clearers

Speed-type
Skill action: Aerial Dash
...taken from Gundam Musou? Anyway, dashes while on air.

Skill action: Jump Cancel
Cancels attack by jumping

Type action: Combination Arts
Unblockable combo attack

Technique-type
Type action: Extra Charge Attack
...SW's SSSTTT moveset thing?

Skill action: Extra Counter
Crowd-clearing counter attack

Stat enchancement: Critical hit
Deals a critical when attacking a jumping enemy.

_______

Note that the descriptions are not 100% accurate, but at least it should give you an impression about the styles.

EDIT2: By the time I went to reconfirm the scan, the link's already gone. :(

I agree, there are no advertisements in the US for their games and I know that they don't sell too many in the UK or bring the RTK series there. Musou Orochi I hope will be world wide.

Your right, the only Koei Games I've seen over here are Kessen, Dynasty and Samurai Warriors and Atelier Iris.

This game wins simply because of the horse thing.

The character-type thing seems really interesting. I was optimistic about how much work they put into this game, but it seems they put even more effort than I thought.


I think Keiji might fall under the Power type. I liked his counter. Then again, he won't flinch, but his normal attacks are not 1/3 as fast as his counter.

Rather than exploding my brain with seeing a lot of [size=1]Tadakatsu Honda vs. Lu Bu[/size] things, I'm going to stop bothering about this game sometime after the JP release, when the game's officially announced in the US. Both in this forum & GF forum.

Double post, it seems. But the official site is updated.

apparently some of the type characteristics I've got earlier require you to sacrifice a portion in your Musou gauge. For example: Power-type's Finisher Technique, Technic-type's Extra Charge & Extra Counter.

Oh, and it is also said that Extra Charge may activate if you do a good timing when attacking.

Is there any news on SW2 style specials yet? Presumably if L2/R2 are character change then the map change got ditched. L1 is certainly going to be block. So that leaves R1 to be either roll,special, or ranged attack.

No info about R1 yet, sorry.

For some reason I can't access that action tab... whenever I try to click it nothing happens.

But they have another page of screenshots now, meaning more character matchups. We have Hanzou vs. Zhou Tai, Cao Pi and Huang Gai(?) (maybe Cao Pi will get him to join Orochi or something), Yukimura vs. Zhao Yun (we all knew this was going to happen though), Huang Gai doing some type of kage bunshin-like move (like Zhao Yun was doing in a previous screenshot), combos are apparently brought back (only seen in one screen though, and in the upperright of that image is a counter... maybe it's some type of minigame or VS mode?)

Well i can say that it looks like either the special musou or r1 abilities are back. check out the new pic of Nene. 3 Nenes. Only happens as her 3rd musou's special or as an ability.

I'm glad that alot of charaters are in, but as long as Cao Pi is there I have no need to worry.
I like the switching action aswel, one problem is choosing team mates...

If you get the blank screen under the Action tab, try just waiting for a while. I kept getting the same thing but when i tried to have a friend of mine figure out what was wrong after i clicked the tab we got distracted by a phone call. came back 5 minutes later and the page had loaded.

And the action tab answers one of my earlier questions. All three characters are on the map at once in different locations all at the same time. Of course i cant stop thinking ahead and all that answer did is make me think of whole new questions.

1. Will you be able to do a triple musou if you get all of your characters together?
2. Are they doing away with bodyguards?
3. Can you use all 3 characters when getting the final weapons?

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but does it not say that these type actions are done with R1? Under the sub section labeled "Attacker Type".

Uh.... yeah, you're right. I overlooked it... ^.^;

Anyway, in case anyone hasn't noticed yet, Geese has pointed out in GF boards that you can see an Orochi peon on one of the screenshots, to be exact, Goemon's pic in Power-type section.

Meep. I've been looking forward to this ever since Samurai Warriors first came out!
But don't you think the ratio of DW Characters to SW characters is a little bit unfair...

I've read that there'll be four 'factions': Wei, Wu, Shu, and the Samurai Warriors...
But that means that Koei are going to have to get all of the amurai warriors to co-operate... and that's just... weird...

But it IS fantasy, I suppose, and anything can(and I hope will, cause they don't have history to stick to) happen.

Actually... on the character select screen, if nothing else, it's split up into 6 groups: Wu, Wei, Shu, Other, Sengoku 1, and Sengoku 2. We don't know yet exactly who is going to be fighting on the Orochi's side and who will be fighting against him other than things like "Cao Pi and half or so of Wei joined the Orochi" and "Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, and some other people went missing". And I think it was confirmed that Nobunaga, Shingen, and Kenshin are working together against the Orochi.
