Best

Gracia: Gracia's is so funny how all of the girls & her at the end get Magocihi!! :lol: I love this one.

Nagamase: Well I would'nt say it's the best.But it got me because finally him, Oichi, and Nobonaga were all on the same side. ^_^

Katsuie: I haven't played his.But, I hear that you have to fight against Nagamasa, and whoever wins gets her!! :o Sounds interesting!

Oichi: Her's is so funny!I love the dialogue she has with all the girls, and how the whole stage is.

Worst

Ginchiyo: I did'nt like her's.It was hard and just, all over the place.It sorta gave me a headache.

Tadakatsu's: His was just sorta boring.It was fun at first, but then..... ugh.

Gracia: Like Oichi's, the dialogue is funny, and Magoichi is in it too!

Ginchiyo: I did'nt like her's.It was hard and just, all over the place.It sorta gave me a headache.

Tadakatsu's: His was just sorta boring.It was fun at first, but then..... ugh.

actually Katsuiie's Gaiden is not like that at all, so don't be supprised. Oichi is already on his side, and the task is to route Hideyoshi and his generarls, including Toshiie. Nagamasa is not included, as a matter of fact, Oichi is all lovey dovey over Katsuiie. "be careful out there, Katsuiie." sorry, it would've been nice to see the rivalry between the men, but it's barely touched on in any of the new content.

Never played XL.


Best:

- Nagamasa: mostly because, well, it was an actual playable mission where Nobunaga and Nagamasa were on the same team, which Koei doesn't seem to do all that much

- Ina: Numata Castle was kind of ridiculous (especially as a carbon copy of Ueda), but this is the only map in the game where she's not talking on end about her father and instead is talking about her husband, which seems really overlooked for some reason

- Masamune/Magoichi: no special reason, I rather liked doing Mikatagahara in a different fashion than the standard way

- Tadakatsu: best of the Tournament of Champions stages

- Mitsuhide: probably the only version of this level type which I played so extensively


Worst:

- Kenshin/Shingen: this one is too frustrating to be fun

- Yukimura/Yoshihiro: the worst version of the Sekigahara levels; even worse is that Yoshihiro already did this level before and it's a lousy follow-up to his Edo Castle level

- Oichi/Noh: it wasn't that funny the second time around

- Musashi: worst version of Tournament of Champions and I hate the smarmy goober

- Ieyasu: there really wasn't much of a point to this level....

1. Yoshihiro's Dream - Battle of Sekigahara

He does nothing during the stage. He doesn't have unique quotes, events or missions. This is Yukimura's battle, not Yoshihiro's. Great story ruined with bad Dream, unfortunetly.

5. Tadakatsu's Dream - Tournament of Champions

Tournament of Champions? More like Tournament of how-fast-can-you-ride-with-your-horse. Frustrating and annoying battle. Getting Tadakatsu's 4th weapon requires more luck than skill. Doesn't do justice for the character.

Totally agree with both of these. Yoshihiro had one of the better stories in the entire game, and for him to have that dream stage just doesn't do him justice.
Something better for him I've always said would be a tournament of champions in Kyushu. Where he and his brothers fight the Tachibana clan or something

And Tadakatsu, yeah, just get lucky. More fitting for him would be like his 6th weapon requirement in SWXL at Komaki-Nagakute. Take on a bunch of Hyper officers and dont let them get through the gate.

Heck, now I just may create a make your own dream stage thread.

[Not in any particular order]

Best:

Nene's Battle of Sekigahara:
-Funniest. stage. ever. It's great watching her beat up everyone on the battlefield. Besides, the comments between Nene/Okuni, Kobayakawa/Hanzo, and Nene/everyone else makes this my favorite stage.

Noh/Oichi/Gracia's Incident at Shizugatake:
-Noh and Oichi's versions are hilarious, especially when Ranmaru gets involved.
-Gracia's version is my favorite, though. I had to stop and laugh when Gracia mentioned that Okuni didn't seem to mind being held captive in one of those garrisons.

I really don't have any least favorites, I would've liked for at least two of Keiji, Tadakatsu, Mushashi, and Toshiie to have unique Gaidens. Four Tournament of Champions is more than enough for one video game.

Best:
Toshiie Maeda - Tournament Of Champion's
This was the best gaiden/dream stage I reckon :D . Was great try and get your own big army then attempt to defeat Nobunaga who eventually set Katsuie on you.
Each person you get helps you in little different ways too which was great. Lots of enemies and slightly difficult but far from annoying ;).

Worst:
Kotaro Fuma - Defence of Odawara
I hated this stage, so much running about an the map isn't very good anyway. He could of had a good Tournament Of Champion's stage against loadsa warriors an the two other ninja's Nene and Hanzo. I still cant get the weapon for Kotaro, I followed what to do but It's not appearing :( . It's not even like the enemies are fun to beat either.

Best ones? Nene's is hilarious: the dialogue makes it SUCH fun to play. I also love Motochika's, Kojiro's and Mitsuhide's.

I hate the Kenshin/Shingen ones. No enjoment from that at all.

Hmm, I don't have any particular Dream stages that I hated (granted I haven't even played/completed all of them yet), but some of the ones I loved in no particular order...

Nobunaga-- This stage is great finish for him, since it pretty much wraps up his character transformation during his musou mode AKA cruel-->not so cruel. I particulary love the little addition of Mitsuhide's reinforcements. <3 Not to mention everyone is out to get you. That just makes it more fun. 8D

Nene-- Can any say hilarious? 8D Just the cutscene at the end makes this stage worth playing, not to mention it's basically Nene VS. everyone. <3

Mitsuhide-- I haven't completed it yet, mainly becuase I keep getting my ass kicked on this stage, but despite that, that's what makes this stage so much fun. 8D 5-6 officers trying to kill you at once? That is my idea of a great battle. >D

Noh/Oichi-- I don't really like Oichi too much so this stage was okay for me on her side, but Noh's stage, omg, I laughed and got distracted so many times. The things tha she says are just hilarious. <3

I don't remember anyone else's too well, so maybe they weren't that fun. xD;;

Best stages:

1. Nene
Who the hell doesn't like a mother on a mission to spank some ass :D
2. Musashi Miyamoto
Tournament of Champions. Some warrior tries to prove himself so he needs to cut down everything he sees. Not much too it, but I like the fact that you alone must cross Sakon Shima and Tadakatsu Honde. Don't forget that most officers are hyper.
3. Keiji Maeda
Same as Musashi, only his is a bit more difficult. Can't let Yukimura, Kanetsugu AND your base get defeated. Since everyone is hyper and swarming those two (Yukimura get's hyper Musashi and kojiro, Kanetsugu get's Masamune Date + 5 other generals), keiji needs to act as a babysitter, instead of freely bouncing round the map. Tadakatsu Honda can give you quite a challenge on the end.
4. Hideyoshi Toyotomi
Wondering about what would happen if he would die, he lands smack near the middle of the stage. Ginchiyo and Yoshihiro defecting gives an unpleasant effect to your allies, but so much fun to beat up.
5. Gracia
Yes... Magoichi kidnapping the female characters once you beat them. Then you team up with them to beat up Magoichi. Heck that's fun :D

Worst stages:
1. Kenshin/Shingen
Why the hell? All cool that you team up, but then make a battle of Kyushu is such a waste >_>
2. Kotaro Fuma
Nothing special about this stage. Could of been a regular one.
3. Kanetsugu Naoe
Challenging, but the fact that the battle is based on "Quick, get that base so we can hide from the enemy there" isn't really aluring for me. Took me a couple of shots till I got his weapon though.

That's basicly it though. I don't think that a lot of stages are bad. Most are quite challenging or just fun to play as.

Favourites:

- Nene. 'nuff said.

- Fuuma. I don't get why nobody likes his stage - this is a great moment historically. The Hojo are overwhelmed, and you get to turn the tides all by yourself.

- Hideyoshi, because I like the concept. "Repent, Kiyomasa."

- Keiji, because all throughout his story I thought it was lacking and that his SW1 story where he went around, beat people up, and gathered friends was better. This level is almost a throwback to that in SW1 - it even has the same theme as his last level there.

- Nobunaga Unites Japan: fun.

Dislikes:

- Yoshihiro. But his last Story stage makes up for it.

- Masamune. Not BAD, per se, and in fact I quite enjoyed it. But it has very little to do with Masamune, and I wish he would betray the Eastern Army once he took out the West or something.

- Magoicih. Again, not BAD, but I wish it was something unique. There's so many things they could have done...eg, going around sniping everyone in Nobunaga's Army, or perhaps fighting all the wimmin in the game for a big date.

Nene's is probably hardest cause your all by yourself in between two chaotic armys trying to stop them mostly in chaos mode.

Hanzo's is super hard cause Yukimura in chaos mode is unmovable cause if you hot him he keeps running and one hit from him and your dead

i won't say this much detailed but..
BEST DREAM STAGE:kanetsugu's stage:even with the 3 commandes and you that you need to protect,it is not as difficult as many other dream stages
WoRsT dReAm StAgE:HANZO'S:as hanzo's gameplay is one of the worst,the stage becomes too difficult to pass.it was one of the 3 last dream stages i completed
Great shu men who could have gone further: Ma Liang,Dong Yun,Huang Zhong,Fa Zheng,Huang Quan(in shu i mean,he went well in wei),Liu Chen,Guan Xing,Guan Ping,Guan Tong,Zhang Bao and Mi Zhu
Worthless and dishonorable rats who betrayed shu: Mi Fang,Fu Shi Ren, Fan Jiang,Zhang Da,Meng Da
Enemies who defeated shu in a superb way: Lu Meng,Lu Xun,Sima Yi,Deng Ai,Zhong Hui
Fools of Shu:Liu Chan,Liu Zhang(he served Shu for some time after he was defeated),Zhuge Zhan and Jiang Wei(he was a fool,as he spent shu's resources too much on his northern campaigns)
