Yes, the game is worth buying and most of the DW5 voices return and none of the SW2 voices return.

Xiahou Dun's weapon actually has precedent in ancient China now, unlike his anachronistic scimitar. Liu Bei is portrayed with two swords in the novel. And while I dislike Lu Bu's new weapon, his armor is more authentic and scary than ever.

Actually, Xiahou Dun's weapon isn't really anachronistic. Only the name "scimitar" is. Single-edged, curved blades were fairly common, and the "sword" family to which Dun's weapon would really belong is actually the same one that Guan Yu's weapon belongs to (at several points in RO3K, the narrative refers to Blue Moon Dragon as a sword rather than a "giant murder-halberd", which is what I often call it). This is not to say that the DW series is free from anachronistic/historically inappropriate weaponry (yes, I'm looking at you, Zhou Tai).

Also, I should note that half of the fun of the DW series of video games has been how ridiculous and over the top it is in almost every possible way. From the wailing, rockin' Chinese guitar anthems, to the high-flying DBZ fight scene charge moves, right down to the bizarre and often impractical (though nonetheless quite deadly) assortment of weapons wielded by the ever-growing cast of characters. (I actually was planning on writing a Chinese history master's thesis on how differently the balance of power might have been in the late 1800's if China had had laser fans to counter the expanding military-industrial development of the Western powers)

So, to sum up: poo on historical precedent. Rockin' ancient Chinese guitar music FTW.

Dude, Chinese rock music forever. If there were ever a game with an awesome soundtrack, Dynasty Warriors is one of them.

I honestly liked Xiahou Dun's scimitar weapon. And really it should be called a Dao. And Daos of such sized actually existed. They're called Bagua Daos, because of their relation to the martial arts Baguazhang. Behold, evidence:

I do not know of their practicality on the field, but what I do know is that they do exist and they do indeed appear to be fearsome weapons.

And if you really want to stretch it, Zhou Tai's weapon could actually be a Miao Dao instead of a Japanese Tachi. A Miao Dao is a type of Chinese saber whose likeliness is that of the Japanese Tachi. Although Zhou Tai's moveset is obviously influenced by Iaijitsu than Miao Dao forms of swordsmanship.

You shoulve done that just to see their reactions, Good point again, I agree and the whole point is its a game where mystical things can happen and physics and gravity have no precedent and the whole concept of history is a tad distorted and weapons that shouldnt be in that time are being used (Tonfas, Nunchaks) But with DW6 it looks like Koei are trying to amend that (though Zhuge Liang still does his voodoo) and make it more historically accurate (take SSX and Liu Bei for example), but the Schmitar is being kept in the game isn't it, isn't Sun Jian going to have it. I would've liked to see Dun keep the Schmitar but meh, nothing much we can do.

Famitsu Today :D , should be 11:24 in Japan, cant wait to see it, someone on 2ch must have scanned it.

Thanks a bunch SCOEW, but why the hell do they have Zhange Fei and Xiahou Dun again? Sima Yi wouldve been better.
Zhou Yu looks awesome though (I'm still missing the Elder Sword), he looks more warriorish than his previous incarnations.

Wow. Zhou Yu. Wow. He looks amazing. :o

So far I think all the redesigns (even Zhao Yun's, though I dislike it) are pretty awesome. One thing that always irked me about DW was the fact that the characters weren't vibrant. Looks like this is being fixed.

EDIT: Exactly. We saw Zhang Fei and Xiahou Dun last week. <_<

Well surprisinly..............I actually LIKE Zhou Yu now, not that i disliked him in past games, but he just looks cooler now...............He might be my first Wu pick to play as now (Dian Wei first though in general) :D

Look at Dun and Fei being shwon again in this way, at least now they are out of the way in Famitsu, now look forward to a new group of characters being shown instead of them (no im not saying NEW, i mean one of the 48 that hasnt been shown yet) ;)!

Also in the Zhou Yu scan page, looks like now Zhuge Liang and him now have a cutscene together, interesting indeed ^_^

Zhou Yu looks more of a gentleman to me than a warrior. But that doesn't bother me. His new staff weapon is pretty kickin'. His one picture reminds me of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. Um, I guess it's cool to see more Zhang Fei and Xiahou Dun. Was hoping for some Sima Yi info.

Also, I'd like to know what the info on Xiahou Dun's page is saying. Looks like it's talking about the skill tree a little bit. Care to shed some light on that, anyone?

Koei is really digging the capes in this one, even Zhou Yu has one. I'm happy with the new Zhou Yu though, minus the thigh high boots, I think he looks great. And if worked right he could be pretty awesome with that Staff of his. The shot of him and Zhuge just continues to build hope for me that they will have a rivalry again kinda like how it was back in DW4.

I'm seriously diggin' the new Zhou Yu. He looks lordly and battle-hardened at the same time. Like GuardianAlexio said, it seems that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's rivalry will be rekindled. And I guess since the Famitsu wasn't officially released last week we got Dun and Fei again. Hopefully we get a some more characters next week. It's only a littel over a month til the game comes out.

Zhou Yu looks more like a warrior than just another pretty face now, not too sure on how I feel about the ponytail, plus it seems he either has a long pole or a spear, I will miss the Elder Sword of his -_- , my it rest in peace ^_^. On a side note, you can see a cutscene with Zhang Fei at Chang Ban, scaring the SH*T out of thousands of Wei soldiers.

The ponytail looks ok. I feel kindof indifferent about it. And I'm positive now that he uses a staff. As a weapon. And I love the fact that characters have cool looking fighing stances during their moves.

One of the things I like most is that the fact that more of the characters actually look Chinese. (no offense to anyone) I mean it always very slightly bothered me that a lot of the characters looked European in a game about ancient China.

I've notice that in the game like some of the characters in DW5 like xiao qiao had blue-ish eyes and red hair which doesn't really resemble chinese people
