Looks like some new characters got added, I'm surprised it wasn't posted here though.

That new dude...almost has a light sabre lol, I'm curious about that!

I love being right.

I'm going to love kicking ass as one of my favorite Samurai, and the one character I wanted in this game.

Yoshitsune, hm? Kick-ass...

I'm still choosing to hold out for Susanoo, though...

Yoshitsune basically soloed the Taira in the Gempei War, and through his efforts forged the path of the Minamoto, allowing them to create Japan's first true Shogunate.

http://www2.uploda.org/uporg1273272.jpg

But look at his picture closely, and then look at the picture of Sima Yi, Date and Mitsunari.

He has the headband of ishida, the robes of sima yi, a face that looks like Sima's, a helmet crest that looks like Date's, and armour with the color of ishida but the style of Date

Could it be that he's a fusion? O_O

Or maybe a summoning of the three?

Yeah that was what in my mind when I saw the new guy! Yay... light sabre in the Warriors game! That's awesome and he looks cool as well.

Finally Liu Bei is back! Look like the three kingdoms are going to join force. I'm so excited and curious. I can't read chinese, what's the guy's name?

Uh, no. That's looking way too far into things.

Besides, the Masamune-Mitsunari-Yi picture is just talking about how the three of them are coming together. Same with the picture of the three rulers above them.

Could they possibly summon him, though? Seriously, look at the picture. He looks like a combination of the three in almost every way.

Extremely unlikely. And in any event, the scan doesn't mention them having anything to do with Yoshitsune.

Again, I think you're just looking a little too hard into things. A good chunk of the SM males have the same facial structure anywho, and Yoshitsune's armor is a lot more "myth-y" and doesn't look anything like Masamune's armor styles, which is more regal like.

You have to look at the individual parts.

I'm not trying to actually propose this theory as definite. I have no factual basis to support it. I'm just saying, look at the freakin' character and look at those three characters. Compare. In fact, I don't even believe that Yoshitsune will be a fusion of the three or anything. I think Koei just might be becoming blatantly lazy or something.

However...

Masamune's chin strap is there, with gold, a signature color of Date and Ishida, to an extent.
The helmet crest I'm not going to claim is Masamune's, as I'm pretty sure Yoshitsune had that crest historically. However, it's still kinda similar.
The robes are Sima Yi colors.
The pants armour jutting out on the right and left sides of him looks like Date's.
The headband is totally an Ishida thing, with the hair, although not in Ishida hair color, looking similar.

All I'm saying is, either Koei's getting lazy and is using character design combining and re-coloring, or those characters could potentially have something to do with Yoshitsune's entrance into the story mode and unlockability. Personally, I think they're just being lazy, as the weapon looks like Cao Ren's as well.

The newer info, regarding the aspect of "usable caldrops" also interests me. After so long of just having food, musou refills and 30 second buffs, might they truly be open to something new and interesting with item pick-ups? I'd like to think so... ^_^

Any way, this game is looking more interesting as we get more scans.

By this point people should realize that musou character designs tend to have a degree of similarity like every other thing

As for Yoshitsune, I like. Though I gotta question what's up with the beam saber. And that puts the character count to just under 90 for now right?

Dude, it's one thing if he had similar features as other characters, but it actually looks like Koei literally ripped parts from other characters and pasted it onto him, recoloring said parts as part of the process. I'm starting to notice things from other characters in there too. >_<

Fun Fact: When somebody first posted a pic of Ling Tong from DW5 on Koei Forums (when that game was just coming out), the members at first were skeptical that he was not just a photoshop. They noted that his face and other features looked like recolors of other character features.

I know? I'm the one trying to say it's expected, or at least normal, if characters have similar features.

Well unless thats a minigame mode that Yoshitsune is in then Kojiro is confirmed to be working for Orochi. And it will be interesting how Sima Yi, Mitsunari and Masamune teamed up.

I'm just saying dudes, it's a possibility. I mean, that warrior just looks so much like a bunch of other characters combined that it's possible it isn't a coincidence. Hey, it's just a theory I had when I first saw the picture, and while I doubt it will happen that he's a fusion, I thought I would point it out that Yoshitsune shares a LOT in common with other dw/sw characters.

The ONLY thing on Yoshitsune that looks ANYTHING like those three is the head crown looking similar to Mitsunari's. You're seeing things that don't exist Slick.

BTW, congratulations to people who wanted a Gundam in the game, you've got one. In the form of a Heike-era hero, but hey he's got a Gundam shield-beam saber and I'd put good odds that those blades on his back work like Xi Gundam's funnel missiles. XD

I think it says he can shoot beams from the shield housing too.

Yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing looking at his weapon and screen shots. I mean it looks like he is shooting down in one of them, similiar to Ieyasu or Masamune.

Wow. Looks like a Minamoto got in after all. Most likely this guy and Kiyomori will have dialouge together.

Though I wonder why only ONE character was revealed...

Sigh... light saber for a character from ancient period is seriously stretching it. But then again Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi already shoot lasers with their fans so whatever.
