lol Taigong Wang's seiyuu is not Ishida Akira. My seiyuu fanatic friend confirmed it. It has similar traits to it, but the tonality and the voice is a little manlier compared to Ishida's. xD
I would have really liked it if his seiyuu was Ishida though. He is one of my favourite seiyuus (alongside many others). *__*

And it's good to see that KOEI is bringing in more seasoned and well-knowned seiyuus to voice the characters. ^_^

Yeah, but His voice is really similiar with Ishida, I even think that Taigong Wang's seiyuu is probably the one who voice Kazu from Air Gear, Kenn (also known as Ohashi Kenichiro), because it's very smiliar (and KOEI tends to use not-so-famous seiyuu for their games <_< )


Eh so, any infos for their seiyuu? <.< I'm dying to know about Them (and die when knew that Wukong's seiyuu is Koyasu <3 I'd definitely use Wukong first if He's a starting character)

I agree just partially on "KOEI tends to use not-so-famous seiyuu for their games", since they use some very famous ones like Kazuya Nakai, Rika Komatsu, Nobutoshi Canna, Takeshi Kusao, Nobuyuki Hiyama, Yuji Ueda, Hikaru Midorikawa, Ryotaro Okiayu, etc.. However I don't mind KOEI not using too famous seiyuu, since they're very good nevertheless (I can say that I like some of those not-so-famous a lot, like Tsuyoshi Takishita, Kohji Haramaki, Hiroaki Miura and Taiki Matsuno, who contributed very much to making me like the characters they voice).
By the way, sorry to say that (forgive me Koyasu fans -__-''' ), but Takehito Koyasu is everywhere XD, I'm a bit tired to listening to his voice, even if he's certainly a great voice actor (I like him very much as Shingo from "The King of Fighters" series). The only extremely famous seiyuu whom I'd be happy to have in KOEI games is Shinichiro Miki, I think his voice is beautiful.

I'm curious to know Orochi 2 new characters' seiyuu as well ^^!

Edit: I'm very slow at writing English, Sum Gai has been much faster ^^.

Actually, the english voice actors for the characters in DW and SW are quite well known too.

Crispen Freemen play as Guan Yu and also known for his role as Siegfried from Soul Calibur and Albedo from Xenosaga among others.

Wendee Lee voices Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao, Zhu Rong, and Zhen Ji and is also known for her roles as Xianghua from Soul Calibur and Bulma from DBZ among others.

They do got good English voice actors for the game, but for some reason they just don't put any effort into their talents.

One of the scans show that the four story mode from wo are back along with a new orochi storyline. So dun worry too much bout the story mode. (Unless u r worried that the storyline lacks creativity of coz.)

True, I never knew Gracia's seiyuu until She voiced Gracia xD

Koyasu is everywhere because the fangirls wub Him so much <3 And You know, fangirls=money :ph43r: (Hence why Capcom never stop to sell those merchandise..)

Ah right (Shinichiro Miki), He has a very smooth voice. So cold and nice (probably the only seiyuu I like who doesn't have 'heavy voice' like Midorikawa Hikaru or Nakai Kazuya o_O)


(Anyway, KOEI finally uses Koyasu, which means, They have another king of seiyuu. I REALLY want Them to add those 'Seiyuu Queens', who're currently very famous and very good, Hirano Aya (I always wanted KOEI use Her as Gracia's seiyuu. But ah, dream doesn't come true), Noto Mamiko use Her=auto win. I heard that Mamiko's nominated as the best female seiyuu o_o), Tanaka Rie, and some others..)

Oh, who're Fu Xi and Nu Wa's seiyuu? The same as DW3?

Takehito Koyasu, seiyuu of -Too- many characters. Example : Sarutobi Sasuke (Sengoku Basara), Kuroyanagi Ryo (Yakitate! Ja-pan)

Oh yeah. Forgot about him.

Also the guy who voices Pang De also voiced Keiji in Basara as well as Ichigo in Bleach.

Incidently, Johnny Yong Bosch, the English VA for Yukimura in WO voices Ichigo in the English dub of Bleach. And one of Shu's stages involves Yukimura convincing Pang De to join Shu. Nice coincidence.

I think they were just having fun with the original but now there expanding the series i believe this will have a much better storyline in it - the fact they added one for Orochi and his followers confirms this as i know thats the one im gonna play first unless it requires unlocking

I would think that the best way for this series to continue to have a good storyline, would be if it would do more to focus on the Gods/Demons/Ancient Heroes, with the 3K and Sengoku casts playing more of a secondary role.

I mean, with these Gods, Omega Force gets to actually have more leeway with the storyline. Because unlike in the more rudimentary games, the focus is not to adhere to a historical context, so that we can look forward to fighting the Yellow Turbans, fight Nobunaga at Honnouji or things of that nature...for the umpteenth time. :D

MO was, more or less, just an experiment to see if such a game that was basically a "Epic Cross-over with No Historical Backdrop to Adhere to!", and see if that would sell. The experiment being a success, I could easily see MO being like Banpresto's SRW OG series. It's a perfect means for Omega Force to be able to craft their own original storylines, introduce other characters and original creations, as well as just being able to do whatever the hell the want, because they don't have to stick with doing the same exact storylines and characters each game.

So, in other words, I'm very much looking forward to the prospect that MO2 might be the start of something interesting. Say what you will about MO1 and its story; I know it wasn't perfect, but I felt it was probably the "freshest" experience I've had with a Musou game in, literally, years.

....about seiyuu, I like Ohtsuka Akio more because of his role as Black Jack and Solid Snake/Naked Snake especially Black Jack, and the best thing is he voice my favourite character in Sengoku Musou ^_^

may be Koei will make "kami musou" next and they can do whatever they want with storyline :lol:

Although it has been confirmed the player will be able to fight on the side of evil Orochi force, factions may not get a linear musou mode.

Dramatic Mode appears to be transforming. Maybe instead of five distinct factions with lines of stages, it looks like we are getting 28 stand-alone scenarios, each with trios picked for us. Kind of like in XL where each character gets their own Legend stage, here in WO2 it looks like it will be 28 stages tailored specifically to 28 trios:

Posted Image

So far:
Dian Wei, Zhou Tai, & Ranmaru Mori
Zhang Fei, Musashi Miyamoto, & Tadakatsu Honda
Yoshimoto Imagawa, Xing Cai, & Ginchiyo Tachibana

However, this is just supposition as I cannot read what it says there. To me it looks like we get 28 small tales that add up to one big story.

I heard someone said new character could be Amakusa Shiro leader of Shimabara Rebellion who often cast as villain has demonic power in pop culture, and I think it possible....make me think about Samurai Shodown where he use magic orb, the orb fly around to hit people and at first glance I can't tell his gender, I thought he a witch or something :wacko:
