Xalfrea's point makes sense. But why not just have every character that was in SW1 in that row, and SW2 in another...there was a total of 19 introduced in SW1, including XL, and, whatever number for 2, so why put in a SW3 row. I dont see the point.

It's probably because there wasn't enough space. There are 32 SW characters in total and if you divide that number with two you get 16. That would have been too much I believe and that's why they decided to put SW3 category as well.

But... why do you guys make such a big number of this :mellow:? Also...

Kennyo Hoganji?

He is not playable, and he never had that big a role in the games, so that might be why.


I only asked because it confused me and I saw no point. Now I do.

Hanzo is there because he served the Tokugawa.

Don't you guys remember how the roster in SW2/XL looks? The roster here is divided up in that order. It simply divides that roster up into three equal parts.

Yeah, but... Hanzo didn't live to see Tokugawa aka Edo era >_>.

Just downloaded the soundtrack today. The extra tracks are very good and I am pleased that some excellent past DW music got in (a lot of DW3 music!! cuz' DW3 was amazing). I was kind of hoping for some remixed music from the WO1 like the main menu, gallery, preparations, etc... but no dice... it is all the same unfortunately. DW4 - Eve got in somehow and still no SW2 - Defense Battle which is one of the best.

Odd... should Koei not put in their best music scores? Why would they not?

Eh, I dunno. Maybe I guess Maou Sairin news is slow and we're just killing time?

That and at a glance, the division of the SW roster doesn't make much sense. Shu, Wei, Wu, Other1 and Other2 at least make sense, but the SW roster doesn't.

a better way to divide it could be according to where each person was from. i'm sure that if they drew the border lines in the right spots then there would be an even amount of characters in each group.

I think they already did that in SW2Empires, in the character dialouge section. But they were divided by: Oda Army, Toyotomi Army, Tokugawa Army, Eastern warriors and Western Warriors.

Yeah they did but most of those would be to small for character divisions.

perhaps placing them all into eastern western and central would work. they could have 2 groups of 11 and 1 group of 12.

Yeah, that works. They could have done that instead.

hey, if they decide to make more sequals, do you think they'll keep doin the same thing with Orochi? or put in new bad-guys and add more to the story?

I myself certainly hope that they don't keep reviving Orochi, once is enough. I hope they keep the dynasty/samurai mix going, but with more customization and more story. like CAW with supercostomization. and they should make a mode where you can choose the map and have as many (perhaps all) characters on each team as you want with up to three teams. maybe even combine maps to make it huge. I think I have at least a bunch of people to back me when saying it'd be prity freakin amazing to have 3 teams consisted of all the playable characters playing on 4 different maps that are connected to each other. and I'm cool with them keeping old characters, but they should throw in more evil characters to keep the story going. like some shinigami or something like that.

Thats the problem of making Warriors Orochi a series, Orochi himself.

They can't constantly keep reviving him over and over again, but if they don't bring back Orochi anymore, than it can't be called Warriors Orochi.

You cheat the system by keeping Musou in front and replacing Orochi with a different noun. There you have a sequel and it's not based around Orochi

the only reason I would be happy if Orochi was the main bad-guy again is if he was in the form he had in the original story. he was a gigantic snake with 8 heads and 8 tails and red eyes. that would be amazing to fight in a warriors game. come to think of it, in the first game, he had a red eye and a green eye, but shin orochi has only green eyes and looks less snakish. perhaps they plan on making a 3rd game in which he has red eyes. he better be humongus if they do that though.

I HAS PREMIUM BOX

The character cards are about 3"x2" and made of flexible clear plastic. They're already set up in tagboard display sheets within plastic sleeves with holes for putting in a 2-ring binder (and you get a cardboard binder in the package). The sheets are even ordered correctly.

All in all, the cards and their presentation are quite spiffy. I'll scan them as well as I can. I'd think that the translucency won't be a problem if I put some white paper on top of the cards before scanning.

After the images are all done and cleaned up, I'd like them to be gathered in some convenient location for everyone. Until then, is it OK if I upload them wherever and post status updates whenever I have a new batch up? I can also link the collection in my sig like Serenity has been doing with his screen shot updates.

That's really awesome Rydian, congratulations for obtaining your premium box!

I think you should definitely create a new thread dedicated to your card scans. That way we can view all the scanned cards whenever they come available conveniently. The signature idea is good as well (and no I won't pound you for stealing my idea XD), since then we'll have two sources that we can use to view cards/see updates.

Just order it. :) Google for maou orochi "premium box" and you'll find quite a few retailers to choose from. I bought from japanvideogames.com, and I'd purchase from them again because their tracking system is spiffy. You can log in to see your order status and get a convenient package tracking link after it has shipped.

I'll start on the scans this weekend when I can tear myself away from the TV. :P I was up quite late last night playing. The game boots fine with Swap Magic 3, and my PS2 has been behaving itself. I'm mostly through Wei's story, and I started going through the others to unlock more battles, characters, and abilities.

No problem. :) Just so you know, I only have the character cards. The premium box doesn't include a guide book or whatnot. I'm still not sure which guide book(s) to order for pretty pictures. There was some discussion about "over" and "under" variants, but that was a while back and I'll have to dig for it.
