OK, now that i have played through the whole game on Normal, and used a variety of characters, played a number of Free mode and Dream levels with a variety of characters, i am deciding that it's the characters and levels that are individually difficult, at least in my case. SW Story was REALLY easy except for Hasedo. i had issues with rescuing Naoe, and an audio glitch where Zhang Jiao got stuck in the middle of a quote and just stttttuttered for the rest of the level, which in turn did not allow events to spawn, and i would've kept standing at the top gate eternally, waiting for Wukong to turn up. finally i saved and restarted, and BAM, there he was. even Sekigahara was a snap AND i was using a level 3 or 4 Noh, level 9 Shingen with his 3rd, and a level 20 or so Huang Zhong with his 2nd(because i never used anything but HZ's T arrows throughout the whole game. now in contrast, the last three Wei levels were fairly difficult for me and i was using a fairly leveled up Kunoichi, Zhen Ji and Zhang He. Wu was also a little more difficult at the end. i almost lost Yang Ping Gate due to the Poison Veil killing officers left and right, and lowering my health before i could find all the sorcerers. Orochi's story was child's play with Da Ji, Orochi and Dong Zhou. one other thing i have been wondering about? who are the Three Kingdoms generics called sorcerers and named after the constellations(Cygnus, Ursus...)? they were not really explained at all from what i could tell, just that they were powerful sorcerers? were they allied with Nu Wa and CO. or were they supposed to represent some obscure concept? |

why in the world would KOEI have used the Western constellation names for allies to Chinese? the Chinese constellations vary wildly from the Western ones: http://hua.umf.maine.edu/China/astronomy/t...tellations.html just another head-scratcher, eh? |

Mostly, yes. I think they were just trying to adapt what they understood the patterns to be based off as opposed to just... using the names that were there. :lol: I still can't wait to play. Well, I mean I can but - I wish it would show up here soon.

Because most of them are/have used tenbu :P. The game is no longer a challenge with it, not matter the difficulty. Orochi has almost 2 full bars on chaos and I can kill him in 2 combos. But on the other hand, the more skilled players probably have not used such things. The real dangers of hard/chaos are: -Poison/fire attacks drain your health at a high rate. -Poke-a-thon and cheap charge attacks from peons. -Juggling. No more can one man(Lu Bu) take out five generals by himself, then kill you in 2 hits. At least from what I've seen. |

What do you mean the games no longer a challenge because of Tenbu? WTH, Do I seriously not know what tenbu is or something? Because I really dont see that being that big of a difficulty changer. Is there something im missing here, is there something someone isnt telling me. OMG, im so confruselled. And no one takeing you out with two hits? hell, ive been taken out just by Kiyomori's bear hug. |

Jasonic, Tenbu/Almighty basically adds elements to ALL your attacks when your Musou gauge is full. which generally amounts to 2 combo KO's of even the toughest opponents. there are lots of videos of Tenbuized characters, it pretty much makes anyone no matter how bad or weak, Godly. |

Sorry guys >_>, like ive said many times, I didnt want to know much of anything about the game before i got it. So i am totally clueless on this whole tenbu thing. Is it automatic or what exactly contributes to it? is it just the weapon attributes and and treasures and stuff that make up tenbu? |

it's the treasures added to your weapons with certain levels of effects. Almighty is Jeweled Branch, Bowl of Buddha, Fire Rat's Skin,and Swallow Shell. you must have level 2 of Flame, Ice, Bolt, Flash, Slay, Absorb, Brave and Might. |

Wait, so do these actually contribute to the effect you have when attacking, or are they just used to get the enchantment. |

They are just used to make it. Whatever elements in one the weapon you equip it to gets the effect.

Ok, so its really only god mode when pretty much attaching the best three, which are pretty hard to get I believe. Ok I see that now But I refuse to believe that people already have Almighty, Revival and whatever other good one when going through their first time on the story modes. And that is what im going through right now and feel the game to be pretty hard. Only ones ive really attached are Guile and Iron Will, and they really dont effect much on making the game easier. |

You got me there. Kiyomori is tough to fight. I have to use hit and run tactics on him, even though I have 2 characters with almighty. That bear hug is a life absorbing attack. Then he can juggle you with his "shadowy brothers". |

hitting Kiyomori is like hitting a wall, he does not even flinch from weaker characters. i DID manage to defeat him by hitting repeatedly with Gracia's Charge of Doom. i LOVE that girl, but THAT's like a feather in windstorm. her Musou is pretty wonky in WO2, not as brilliant as it was in SW2:XL. |

Alright, so slowly and steadily (Ieyasu pun entirely intended
) I have made my way through Orochi's story. I only have the final battle of Hinokawa to do today
Orochi-7 @ Mikatagahara was epic ... I failed to protect the Sorcerers so towards the end of the battle, the entire remaining Oda army (minus Mitsuhide & co) all charged my main camp I was casually fighting maybe 3-4 officers when I arrived and within seconds, I noticed Nobunaga & No appear with 2-3 more :wacko: Despite some seemingly endless juggling on their part, my team of Orochi, Da Ji & Keiji were more than capable of handling them all Well, Orochi's musou and C1 were more than capable ... :ph43r: |

Dream Mode is really fun. Not only do you look into great scenarios and concepts, they are also a bit challenging and harder than the stories. Orochi's story was also great to play. I especially liked Yi Ling and Mikatagahara. |

I finished Wu story yesterday. All I have left now is SW story, and then I think I will try and play some Dream modes and maybe try for the tenbu thing
Wu story was the most difficult yet. I was not expecting the poison gas and fire on the last two stages, it was quite hard to keep myself alive. I tell you right off the bat, I had a hard time choosing my team, because I always stick with the same characters through a story mode. I wanted to use Yoshitsune. But had to decide, which not to use out of Zhou Tai, Ranmaru and Motochika, in which are all three among my favorites. It was tough, but I had to give Moto the boot But my team kicked ace. Ranmaru is freakin awesome once he has his full combo. And I really like Yoshitsune.

finished Wu story, I was thoroughly pleased, the way that you got completely random officers appear at bad times and with the gas and fire made it very challenging to play and was quite fun however, id like to point out that when I heard Cao Pi's new VA on stage 3, I just immediatly shouted NO! at my screen, seriously...just LOL at his new VA as a bit of fun trivia, when approaching Cap Pi on the battlefield, his intro comment actually uses his WO1 VA :rolleyes: |

Cao Pi's voice is from DW6, but his image is younger and more satisfying in DW6 with this voice. Believe me, if you haven't played it, the acting in 6 from him is pretty good. I've just been through Wei's whole story again with Xu Zhu, Dian Wei and Cao Pi. I've got their 4th weapons and 3rd outfits and those 3 are approaching level 50 thanks to Acclaim level 9. I did it all on hard mode. And lastly, I did one dream stage, Lu Xun's, Sakon's and Jiang Wei's on hard mode with them at level 1. Wow, for some reason that one stood out as as a challenge. Probably because of the younger twos attack strength... but it seriously was the hardest I've done yet and didn't feel like a 1 star. I really like the newbies in this game, plus Orochi and Da Ji. All of them in that character selection group are 50+ now. Yoshitsune is level 72 and the highest in that area. |

AGREED! i do not dislike any of the added character in WO2. and my initial favorites have been turned on their head. Yoshitsune started on the bottom of my list, and after play has become my favorite. also, Himiko who i thought would be another Xiao Qiao(who i love dearly, but we only need ONE of her) and she turned out more like SW1 Oichi(who i also loved, i dislike the mopey Oichi SW2 style). and Taigong Wang, who's appearance annoyed me at first, is up there too. his MS is just a blessing. he's much easier to use than i had anticipated and his Musou is GREAT! Sun Wukong, who i thought would be an easy favorite, due to his(IMO) awful VA and somewhat erratic play style has fallen to the bottom, really good still, tho'. Kiyomori also an early favorite is now in the middle, with the two returning characters(Nu Wa and Fu Xi). the latter two mainly because they are so similar to their DW3 counterparts.(again, not bad. the others are just SO good they outdistance these three). Kiyomori is probably my favorite design-wise he just looks fantastic, like a Heian-era demon general should. his 3rd costume is brilliant. Da Ji gets bonus points in WO2 for the refinement of arguably my favorite DW-style MS ever. she's an unstoppable force now that her skittering and slipping have been slightly adjusted to make her more user friendly. her Musou is a awesome looking, unfortunantly it flings your enemy far into the distance with the first hit, but as you don't really ever NEED to use it, it's sort of not that big a deal. KOEI outdid themselves with this cast of characters, far better than the DW5 or SW2 adds. they can be forgiven for the random and uneven vocal performances in this game. |

Favorite new characters? hmm.... First for me, would have to be Yoshitsune Minamoto. I love the character design and weapon of choice . And has some really fun moves.Next would be Taigong Wang. Another young one with really fun moves. And I quite prefer his C1 above alot of his attacks. Not too thrilled about the musou attack though. Next is Nu Wa. She looks fabulous and is super fast. Fast can be good and bad sometimes as a lot of her attacks dont hit the target. And great R1 ice rain. Probably Himiko next, She has some really powerful attacks and unique ones. I also like Fu Xi, but his attacks are average and not so mystic like, but still really powerful. Sun Wukong seems he will be a lot of fun, but is just horrible for Challenge mode IMO. Note, that I have only used Himiko and Sun Wukong in Challenge mode and have not yet obtained Kiyomori. Also i did not get the chance to play as Kojiro in SW2XL. I am using him in SW story now and he is my go to guy. Love his musou and has some great charge attacks. He maybe a weird type guy, but tons of fun to play as. |

@Jasonic: Kojiro relies heavily on his musou. Equip Ice and use his C1, then spam his musou when the officer is frozen. But I don't think the success rate of freezing with that attack is nearly as high as 2XL... C4 and 5 are also good. Hmmm... to list mine..also note that this was difficult for me to choose the order so I maybe acting a bit rash: Sun Wukong Yoshitsune Minamoto Fu Xi Kiyomori Taira Nu Wa Himiko Taigong Wang The real thing that makes me want to dislike the last is his voice and personality. However I think his attacks such as his C2 (haha, can't believe it can get stuck and not lift...) and his musou which is extremely stupid-looking (in my opinion), but extremely powerful. But yes, his C2 has massive range, similar to Nagamasa's. |
