So after reading most of Humble Novice's guide, it seems this game is a prequel, and not a sequel.

That would make this another first for KOEI.  Heck, that may even up the review score .5 points...

orochi's story is a prequel, the rest of the stories are sequels

Orochi's story also features fun things like escort missions and scavenger hunts.

I wish I was joking, but I'm not. It's certainly one reason why I'm never going to unlock Shin Orochi (beating every stage on every difficulty).

Escort missions? Who does he have to escort?! A dead body or something? I suppose a sorcerer, but come on.

'Hullo, my name is Orochi. I will be your escort for this evening. Extra services are 75 dollars per hour.'

You have to escort a group of sorcerers over to a certain place on the 7th map of the story mode if you want one of the best weapon materials. Thankfully, I got that on my first try so I never have to do it again. On another map, you have to run around in the Stone Sentinel Maze (or whatever it 's called) hunting for sorcerers.

I just got my hands on a copy, and I must say it's pretty good ^^ I took Ginchiyo, Tadakatsu, and Musashi to Orochi story's first stage in musou mode and cleaned house...while browsing the menus and acquainting myself with them, I came across the new weapon fusion system.

Now, I can't read Japanese, but I can see from the menus that the bottom part of the recipe are the so-called ingredients. When you pick these ingredients up, they're permanent (At least, that's what others have said) and they come in little item bags/boxes like PIs in WO ..once you get these ingredients, depending on which ones you have, you can then use them in a recipe.For example, the ability that Sun Wukong uses in that one video where elementals trigger on normal attacks, I hear the ingredients are unlocked in the later stages of each kingdom's story modes. Once you get these ingredients, you can then use the actual expendable recipe, which looks to be elements. Like, the aforementioned recipe seems to use 2 ranks of 8 different elements, which will then be destroyed after the recipe is created...

Now, what I don't get, as I didn't make anything, is whether your weapon just needs those certain elements, or if your character needs a separate weapon with all those elements to create the ability, and then the ability can be fused to whatever weapon you're currently using...Hm.

Also played Survival Mode a bit. The beginning is very easy...weapons and level do not count in this mode, as each character gets what looks to be their third weapon, and you also get access to their full moveset as well, even if he/she is at level 1 for you.The Vs mode in general does not seem to be very deep, and the A.I sorta sucked.Fights end when one character dies, rather than adapting a Marvel vs Capcom system where the other characters will continue fighting after one dies. However, each character does get their own lifebar, and there are ringouts. There only seemed to be one arena, but then again I was just playing Survival. However, I was pretty into it for a while, so the fighting can be fun, it just doesn't seem to be have much depth, so I don't think we'll be seeing Warriors Orochi at the next Evo or Tougeki or something =P

Once I get home I think I'm going to boot up the original WO on my 360 and work on that because I haven't unlocked all the characters on my 360 file yet, and I wanna be ready for this game when it comes out in English coz...well, it's more of the same, but it's still DAMN good!

(Oh, and why is Tadakatsu unlocked by default?That's just kinda weird considering what you had to do to unlock him in the first one =P)

That's really...stupid. ;) I can't imagine it would take that long to kill one person, but at least your opponent can switch characters in and out to save any of them from dying so quickly.

And I think Tadakatsu is probably unlocked from the start simply for 'equal opportunity' purposes, as he didn't get as much appearance time in the original WO, compared to other characters.

It's actually a very quick fight, at least in the beginning stage of Survival. I can go C4 -> R1 with Ginchiyo and end the fight outright. Still, the enemy gets more defense as Survival goes on, so it does get a bit more difficult, although a full S string with Ginchiyo or Guan Yu was able to almost kill the opponent after about 5-6 fights. I don't have a second controller on hand to test out the actual versus mode, though, and I can't read JP so I don't really know what all the sub-modes within Vs. mode are.

As for Tadakatsu...Ah, yea, that makes sense.I just figured with him being one of the uber-characters he'd be an unlockable, still XD I am very happy that there's a considerably larger starting roster this time around, though.

Well, at least they did the right thing by finally giving Zhao Yun a bit of a back seat.

Alright! I was just watching this video and noticed that Gracia's C1 did in fact recharge her musou :D

I apologize if this has already been determined/discussed but I just noticed it so yea. I can tell its not Absorb attribute either as the other charge attacks didn't refill any musou.

EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot ... Bonus props to KOEI for giving Zhao Yun a backseat this time around :lol:

Now imagine Gracia using the 'attack speed-boost' skill we saw in that Sun Wukong video...she could charge her entire Musou bar in about 5 seconds. :o I think she's gonna be pretty cheap if she gets that ability, considering she could then let loose with the magic attacks almost as much as she wants.

I'm spoiling myself rotten right now by watching more videos :D

*adds Tetsuo9999 & Serenity YouTube video pages to favorites*

Making Sun Wukong a speed character is just broken. A guy who can fly across the screen on a cloud has no need for an Air Dash & 3 specials :lol:

Now I am just patiently waiting to see Serenity upload her Taira no Kiyomori video :ph43r:

Well, since this may have already been answered/discussed in the main MO:MS thread, I'm just going to merge this topic with that one.

*Topics Merged*

With that said, I'm pretty sure the DW4 alternates are not just limited to SSX. There are other characters who's alternate costumes come from DW4.

As far as extra charge attacks for SW2/XL characters, I don't remember exactly. I thought I read that they have been included somehow in the special attacks, but don't quote me on that. It's best to wait for someone who has the game who can confirm.

Thats what I've read, and pretty much heard for the most part.
It seems to be the most logical thing to do, since they wont give DW characters C7s just for this game.

I can pretty much say that the charge attacks being included is somewhat false. Ginchiyo's SW2XL C9 pretty much gave her her lightning blade buff plus the random lightning strikes in one attack. Her R1 in MO2 is exactly the same as it was in MO1, except with a slightly longer windup time, so no lightning strikes in that one.

As for Tadakatsu, the only other SW2 character I've played as so far, his R1 is a giant shockwave combined with a large attack speed boost afterward. In SW2XL, his special charge was an attack that sent out three large energy balls, if I remember correctly...

So, for the most part, if you want to judge the whole on these two characters, that rumor is pretty much false, methinks.

Thanks mogwaimon for confirming that for us. I'd say that's conclusive seeing as how it'd be impossible to miss Tadakatsu's C5 if it were in this game. :P

Oh well, good thing I have SW2:XL then to enjoy them :D

That still didn't explain why SW2XL characters aren't in WO1.

Especially Generic Toshile Maeda, whom role in Honnji is to put out the fire, to SW2XL playable Toshile Maeda, who has 3 weapons to use and is just plain awesome/cool.

None of the SW2XL characters are unlockable in Orochi's story, and I don't think they appear in the enemy rosters anyway.
