Hey here weapons look like something from an inca tribe - they look cool but almost as out of place as the lightsaber :unsure: , on closer inspection of the screenshots they appear more like stage lights than anything else but they seem to emit laser beams from each which is rather far out but very interesting

Cool character choice and i for one am not dissapointed in the appearence or the fact we get another new female addition. Thing is im at a loss to guess how Koei are gonna involve all these mad ass and kick ass new characters into the storylines - why bother with the rest - no one is gonna be talking about them in WO2

Now leaves the inevitable argument - whos side is she on, im leaning on Koei retaining her idol worship from Kessen 2 and having her on the side of Wei

Her weapon looks kinda similar to Da Ji. Her moveset (from the screenshot) looks like it is going to be good and original. I guess she is a good addition to the game.....huh...

She's on Orochi's side ... she is used by Da Ji though the two go on to develop a friendship of sorts according to translation ...

From what the full scan can tell us, Himiko was summoned by Kiyomori and she met Daji. Daji uses Himeko as a pawn but the two eventually formed a friendship over time.


I'm not sure whether to believe it or not.

I just rechecked the scan, and it is legit, really there.

Reexamining Himiko, I'm almost sure now that she's based on the characters from Touhou. The style of dress reminds me of Reimu a bit, and the DANMAKU FILLS THE SKY OMG attacks are quite telling as well.

I think SHUMA would know more about this.

DOT DOT DOT.

No commento.
Muawhahahahahaa.
....

But yeah, you're on to something there. So far Himiko seems very Touhou-ish, only with less frillsies. Maybe Koei's testing the grounds for a TOUHOU MUSOU? (omg that'd RAWK) x)


Apart from upcoming MASSIVE DANMAKU LULZ, I'm dissapointed....She's wearing shorts.

I am disapointed in her design, she seems to childish. Koei needs to make more strong women like Ginchiyou, except not as manly. I hope those statues dont act the same as Da Jis weapons, that would be dumb.

So, my prediction was correct.. I'm smart XD
She surely has a simple name, just HIMIKO

Based on her history, would she be in the Wei chapter?

But knowing KOEI, they just couldn't think of anything else cool at the moment.
"Well, we came up with giant floating balls, why not giant floating heads?"
"Create a character with floating heads as weapons, BRILLIANT!"

:lol: I can so see the people at KOEI doing that because they are so lazy! :lol:

personally i feel koei have been lazy i mean take dw5xl and sw2xl for example they havent even put caw moe or something like destiny mode in sw2xl and yet look how long we have had to wait for it you would think that there would have been more wouldnt you???

I feel the same way however I'll cut them some slack because WO:MS is having a lot of content put into it. Quite possibly more I've seen put in a game at one time.

It seems a bit odd that she'd join with Orochi, as her appearance isn't really that 'evil'...and now we're gonna have two "floating weapons" girls on the same side. ;)

Regardless, at least Orochi's forces are nicely getting buffed up for this game. :)

Perhaps she'll be switching sides and joining Cao Cao in the midst of the game (lured by his charms? lol). Who knows.

Himiko...........Woman character is OK....... ^_^ but i dont agree with weapon like that....it's strange. I dont understand how KOEI think about choosing characters. I mean they should add character who compatible with history like Genghis Khan, Yue Fei or Yang Guifei, Wu Zitian

As long as she's an addition to Orochi's forces, than that's fine with me. Orochi's supposed to be the main villain, so he's really supposed to have more supporting characters.

While we got used to Himiko at Cao Cao's side in Kessen 2, the Orochi forces really do need more forces like Himiko within it to make it more powerful. In the first Warriors Orochi there was simply far to many of those strange generic officers that served him. Whether Himiko sways to Cao Cao's side during the Wei story however I guess remains possible.

Do you think Orochi series will be over after this 2nd game come out? I don't think so. There would be Musou Orochi Rise of The Gods or whatever the name will be but KOEI won't replace their high income from this series. Musou Orochi sold very well.

So were looking at over half of the new characters being on Orochi's side leaving of the DW and SW cast only Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu confirmed - strange if you ask me

You know, I seriously don't get why so many people think that Himiko is going to join Wei or have any connection to them due to her history and her portration in Kessen 2. All of that's irrelevent in a game that most certainly doesn't follow history. I also doubt that a character of Himiko's nature will join Orochi either, as characters with innocent and childish appearence such as hers don't tend to be on the antagionists side unless for some reason of threat or blackmail like in Sun Ce's case. Considering her magic and what not, I have feeling she will be joining the Nu Wa/Fu Xi faction if they make one{which I'm sure they will}. Characters with magical abilities like hers seem suiting for that army.

I personally wish they would have given her a more adult appearence as I would have liked to see an adult female sage like character in this game as we already have enough loli's in the series. But hey, loli's are fine if they're made well. So I guess this isn't an entirely bad thing in my opinion{and it's a very positive thing in SHUMA-GORATH's case :P }.
