Hey, did anyone try to use Ranmaru in Okehazama stage? I was surprised, really  :mellow:

I guess thats the exchange we get for no story mode for Ranmaru, secret dialog in Okehazama and Honnoji.

And Odani Castle.

I've found out a few other ways how to obtain Orbs in Mercenary Mode. If you rescue an ally during invasion or defense battle (when fightning under a clan's service), he/she will always reward you with Orb. Note that if you find two Orbs from the stage you will only receive one (lame move from KOEI).

There's another method to farm for orbs as well. Some of the clan leaders will reward you with one at some point during your continued service to them. It shows up as an event "reward from the <insert clan name here> clan" and all you have to do is to select the event, collect the orb, then soft reset to load the same list of events and just keep doing it over and over again.

I was able to farm for at least 25 ATK+20 orbs from Ieyasu using this method. This was by far the easiest method since it didn't involve repeating a stage or anything, just an event.

Ieyasu is not the only one who does this either, IIRC. I think G. O. W. said that Kenshin does the same, but I'm not 100% sure

Oh yeah I forgot about that, Ranmaru and Yoshikage talk about something regarding Ranmaru's youth and his thirst for vengance.

The Honnoji stage might as well be exclusive to Ranmaru, but what does he say in Okehazama? I didn't experiment yet.

Yo, is there a reason that the Shura element in Xbo360 is yellow?

And turning invisible makes the game slow.

Yellow as in the image sign for it? It should be purple. Or do you mean the effect? Because the only effect that it could be is a level 3 musou which gives you a yellow glow.

And a cheat? Yuck. You shouldn't really expect a game without glitches using cheats.

@skyfirefly: It does work on the PS2 from all the posts I've read:

1. Get to a battle where you go against a yellow female unit that ambushes you, always giving you an orb.
2. Choose to not save it and soft rest on the main screen. (start + select)
3. Load Mercenary Mode again and do the same.

Even though you're not saving it, the orbs are always kept safe. But obviously make sure you save after every battle, so you are able to load the level again. And you have to safe after every battle due to you not knowing when the yellow female unit will appear.

I imported data from SW2, but for some reason, everytime, I turn the game off, I'm back with only 6 playable characters for story mode. Is that normal?

I've got a question for those who have the game:

Are the voices of the 6 new characters good? Judging from the trailer, Toshiie was awesome and the other ones are just ok...while Motochika had a vedy deep voice *_*.

on the subject of the "best" element, i'll go with Lightening(as usual), i suppose it has alot to do with the characters i prefer(Noh, Ginchiyo, Yoshimoto, Katsuiie, Kanetsugu) who are all shorter range characters who benefit from the Lightening element. Fire and Ice are predictably reliable, but bland. Shura, as has been noted, is broken(in a bad way). suprisingly as much as i dislike the Wind element for Lady Noh, it works pretty well for some other characters.

on another note, how long does the Mercenary mode go on? i think i'm somewhere near level 35, and it's like a terminal version of dungeon grinding, the same thing over and over and over, and it's terribly easy, even on hard with a level 70 character and a really good weapon. i expect the answer is to start with a "green" character and build them up, but i'm not of any mind to reset anyone.

one more question, is three the maximum number of slots that you can earn on each weapon for one attribute? i've never managed more than that, i don't think.
