@SlickSlicer: I was quite enjoyably reading your above post until the half-way mark. It was indeed an amusing switch from being serious to just joking around. Plus, you should of posted this in the predictions topic instead.

Then again, this whole 90+ characters thing is still fresh, and its still debatable if it should be taken with a grain of salt or if its true.

[size=1]Heh, I wish. To pull that off they'll need a random-generate function of the CAW editor to match a cast of hundreds. :D [/size]



90 characters...

I shall tread carefully. Last time I jumped to conclusions I was arguing that the peon-looking guy wasn't DW6 Liu Bei when it turned out he was!

This 90 character stuff is either the promise of 4 new characters (or more), or the article writer rounding up to a whole number to sumarize details.

It is fact there is 86 characters. Someone saying "Dude! There's like 90 characters in this game!" is a possible approximation.

Although, by all means Koei, the more characters the better!

The only wish that I have is that the 4+ new characters will actually have variety to them.

If they indeed will be legends or deities, then they should have a seperate section in the selection screen and not be put under Other.

@SadXuHuang

That Mainichi site specifically wrote 総計90人以上, which means 'a total of over 90 characters'. So that means the first digit in the actual character number will be 9. It's just like when KOEI announced that in DW5 there will be more than 40 characters, there were 48 characters that exist. Then in SW2 when they announced more than 20 characters, there were 26.

@Xalfrea

That's what the Other 2 section is for, buddy. Other 1 will be most likely for DW Others only. :)

I'd like to have the 4 new characters to be divine beings actually rather than historical personages. It's more fitting to the setting anyway.

Japanese:
Susanoo: Well, he did kill Orochi after all. I guess he didn't get the job done all the way and now he's back to finish the job. He would wield the blade borne from one of Orochi's tails after his first encounter with the serpent, Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi ("Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven")

Amaterasu: Susanoo's sister and goddess of the sun. Knowing her brother is a bit hot blooded, I guess she would follow him on his quest to slay Orochi once more to keep her brother in check but also to finish the job should he fail. She traditionally doesn't have a weapon associated with her so maybe she would wield the Amenonuhoko, the very spear that created the Japanese islands.

Chinese:
Erlang Shen:
The celestial enforcer of laws in Heaven. Perhaps he's on assignment bringing Da Ji to justice and also bringing her only known associate as of now, Orochi. He traditionally wields a double-edged trident (aka Jiang Wei's spear) and has a black Fu Dog as his companion. Not sure if the Fu Dog is doable but I know the weapon is. It's be neat if he could transform into other characters for storytelling purposes only since he also has 72 disguises.

Sun Wukong: Honestly for a lack of any other gods I can think of at the moment. He'll act as if he did before he met Xuanzang or even before he was trapped in within the mountain AKA a rogue force like Maeda Keiji. I don't know if people would like this but Wukong could be pretty freakishly powerful if displayed traditionally. If so, he would put down Lu Bu, Tadakatsu, and Keiji as the powerhouses of the game. He would fight roguishly until he met up/fought with Erlang Shen, who would rebuke his actions and call him to fight for the divine force. Wukong would reluctantly agree to Shen's plea and fight and soundly defeat Orochi. He would use his magic gold banded cudgel as his choice of weapon, naturally.

I seriously hope that the DW/SW crew aren't against Fu Xi and Nu Wa. I also hope that they aren't the main villains (so to speak...) of the game/story like Orochi and Da Ji were of WO.

Where do Nu Wa and Fu Xi come from? Are they here in this created era to help or to conquer?

Also, not to brag, but my very first prediction about WO back when it was first announced even for Japan, turned out to be dead on. I thought that some gigantic black hole appeared and sucked up our dynasty/samurai warriors when they were doing what they do best...

For this new story, I will venture a guess that Fu Xi and Nu Wa were already in this realm created by Orochi. They were watching over the progress of both dynasty and samurai warriors as they worked together, being from different worlds and times, to defeat Orochi and Da Ji. Perhaps they will again test the wits and power of our DW/SW characters yet again... As for the SW2:XL characters, I am sure they will just work right into the story very well, having been there the entire time from the very beginning and just now immerging noticed.

Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum. I smell a dual-layer disk with upwards of 90 characters in this giant of a game. Let's just hope that KOEI takes care of all the bugs out and gets it right.

I expect Suzaku, Seiryu and Genbu from the DS Dynasty Warriors game, along with Byakko. Probably Susanoo for the Japan side. And, randomly, a human-sized Musha Gundam(because that's the ONLY logical way Gundam will be included... unless it's Master Asia on-foot.)

OK, have I being locked in a closet or something, since when was there word of 90+ characters?? o_O

Edit: I saw the link by Sum Gai, well that certainly raises a few question marks to say the least, I wonder who the others will be? Unless it's an error or something, hmm.

Over 90!? geez I don't know if it is true, but it would be nice to see Orochi's forces fleshed out a bit more with a few unique "demonic" generals. But who else? I can't imagine the likes of Cheng Pu, Ma Dai, Naomasa Li, Uesugi Kagekatsu etc. not being included in DW/SW but then appearing in MO...

Ok i know that the posibility for this idea is kinda low but i'll jus say it out:

Koei might add a character from the mori clan considering the fact that itsukushima made it into the game but chances of that are pretty slim.

Ah, I see.

Your supposition has vanquished my cynicism. Your arguement sways my hopes. ^_^

My money is on a Gundam influenced character. Either straight-up human-sized Gundam or someone using a moveset of a Gundam since Gundam Musou:XL is coming to PS2 afterall.

Now we just wait for what Wednesday Famitsu may bring....

Hehehe.....that's not a bad idea though. I'd prefer the character with a Gundam influenced moveset though. It'd be badass to see a new character fight like the Musha Gundam.

I can't see there actually being a gundam character. A character with a similar moveset, perhaps, but just not a gundam itself. It's just too anachronical for the series I find.

That and a Gundam would probably kill most troops just by moving and stepping on them.

Agreed. That be too chaotic, and I am sure Koei will be sticking to the DW/SW world. However, having Heero Yui say "I'll kill you" on the battlefield would be priceless :D

I actually thought this was the predictions/etc. topic. I'm not sure why my post ended up here. I think what happened is that I was posting it in the predictions topic, and then had to go somewhere. So I copied it because I had to go, and then when I came back, I pasted it in the wrong topic. Sorry bout that.

And guys, honestly, I wouldn't put it past Koei to add a gundam here. Musou Orochi's story is already basically a disaster on wheels. They could add anything at this point. They've already come up with a completely unlikely, silly fictional scenario. They can make it as crazy as they want at this point, and not lose anything.

Sorry I havnt been to this site in a while and low and behold here is Fu Xi and Nu Wa back in a Koei game. Finally! They were two of my favorite characters in dw3 and now they just look plain awesome. <3 those two. I have been fighting to get these two back in a Koei game forever.

As for game improvements, it would be nice to see more of orochi's army made more unique. Maybe more unique designs for generals and unique npc's. Heck, maybe even a new playable general or two. We'll see...

This week's Famitsu excerpt (Not 100% reliable. Take with a grain of salt until 100% confirmed)

無双OROCHI 魔王再臨
・平清盛。巨大な数珠で豪腕爆砕
・太公望。釣竿が武器
・新ステージ、崑崙山、楼桑村、長沙、桶狭間、えん州
・敵に、二足歩行のイノシシや忍者
・プレミアムボックス 10,290円

無双やってないから新情報なのかどうかよく解らんすw

If this is true, then Taira no Kiyomori and Taigong Wang will be included here.
