This game was amazing. I just about finished everything today with all characters maxed and all 5th weapons, etc...

SW2XL is far superior then DW6 IMO... (graphics are still good for a PS2 game after the hard transition back from DW6!)

I am impressed with everything. Movies were EXCELLENT, characters were very cool (I bashed Motochika Chosokabe and he turned out to be quite the butt-kicker!). I waited to do Kojiro Sasaki last as I knew it would be the best, and it was. His movie gallery and story were well done. His last movie sent chills down my spine (it was so amiss...) But anywho, I very much enjoyed this expansion, Koei should be very proud even if it did not do well in sales and such, for they have great potential and momentum to succeed with the next SW installment.

SW2 was a huge hit and I knew it was going to flourish. The expansion just filled the cookie jar back up. Totally worth the price! Perfect 10's across the whole board.

(sorry if this sounded like a review, but wow, this game will go down in history as one of the best IMO)

Just interim save all the time and have patience... I only had trouble with Gracia since all SW2 characters are done from SW2 and the other ones are quick learners and steal skills so easily... just use different tactics on getting the skills... It usually takes me 5+ tries with her and twice with the other XL characters...

The best way to earn skills (I have found personally) is to head to the enemy whos skill you require, beat him down until he has no life, and then interim save. Defeat him, reload, and repeat the process


I don't think so since your luck will hardly change...

It's not worth it to get a new PS2 just for this game, IMO.

Just wait till WO2.

or just get a refurbished one, they are only about $50 at this point at GameStop/EB. i think that my local GS had plenty of slimline PS2 that were used/redone.

I finally got SW2XL a couple of days ago.Its amazing! ^_^ I played with Gracia right away, and feel in more love with her! ^_^ The bond between her and Magoichi is very strong, Im glad they added it.And how they are there for eachother.And Gracia's dream stage is so funny! :lol: It was so sweet how she wanted to enter the beauty contest, and how Magoichi gave her confidence to fight on her own! ^_^

I've also beat'n it with Katsuie, Toshie, Chosokabe, and Koijoro.

I have it but it doesn't work on my PS2 at home but it works on my friends. all i get is a Disk Read Error and it's a New Disk too.... but i do like it from what i's played so far (only did 2 Musou modes)

I've had many of these in the past. It's because your laser that reads the disc is either out of place or there's this circlular ring-shaped object thats worn-out in your PS2. I can't remember what it was called, but you can find other help here:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/915821/19658

Obviously don't attempt anything that means taking the console apart unless you can do it. There are people who can if you can find electronic stores nearby that deal with these kind of issues. It's much cheaper this way than sending it to Sony, otherwise you will have to pay a lot of money thats probably just not worth it.

thanks , I think i'll try that,

Thanks to Koei being a the London Expo, I got my hands on the game. I haven't done much on it, other than play through the new characters story modes. Gracia is annoying yet broken, Motochika is, well, different, and Toshiie is as I expected - awesome. Also using my SW2 data I've started a Mercenary Mode with my lv50-something Keiji. Personally I preferred DW5's Xtreme Mode as it was the same without using character data.

I've yet to go through the other new character's stories, but at the moment I'm working and getting a good look at pictures and videos from the London Expo.

"That's the way, Toshi-ie!"

Speaking of Hideyoshi I recently played Okehazama has him. So much for him claiming early glory in that stage.

Well, since my ex-roommate stole my copy of SW2, I'm not able to do the remix option anymore.

But aside from that, I really enjoy this game. Gracia is my #1 favorite out of the new characters, but I like them all except for Yoshimoto (obviously). Toshiie was a nice addition, and his weapon and style are different from anything seen before. His musou leaves much to be desired, though.

Katsuie's new moveset is pretty good. He's kind of slow, but still packs a punch. His musou is another one that could be better...

Kojiro finally gets his nodachi and I couldn't be happier. The dimensional swords are an interesting idea, but some of his charge attacks are pretty useless. For some reason, I can't think of what his musou is right now.

Motochika was surprisingly good. I figured he would be pretty bad and have a serious lack of range, but he has some decent moves. He requires a bit more strategy than other characters to do full-on damage though. But it is rather fun setting up chains of note bombs everywhere.

Yoshimoto...why Koei??? WHY? Why do you make us suffer so?

Yoshimoto is brilliant. easily MY favorite from the XL crew, his moveset takes some skill and real desire to master, but once you do, he's unbeatable. a great unique character that's so much more fun to play than many others. and his story in XL is funny with so many great quotes and lines. Yoshimoto for Shogun!

Yoshimoto's story made me laugh, but his moveset was so weak it gave me a headache (much like in SW1XL). Gotta love playing dead as his R1 special though!

I played through Kojiro's story mode today - and that guy is amazing to play as! Like blaze_zero, I found some of his charge attacks pretty difficult to hit with, but all of them were pretty strong. His Musuo reminded me of the Rapier moveset on DW5's character creation mode, based on Nu Wa's musuo. Kojiro's musuo attack isn't very good for 1-on-1, but for crowd clearing it's awesome.

Just Katsuie to go for me!

Just ice 'em first and then see if its no longer good 1 on 1 ;)

Kojiro was my 2nd character to level 70. He's just awesome B) I'm just working on leveling the SW2 characters to 70 right now ... still have a long ways to go :wacko: Then I'll go and collect rare skills for XL characters while leveling them to 70, oh and get their 5th weapons too ^_^

Yeah, Kojiro's 4th is your friend and not your enemy! ;) His C1 to freeze the officer with the ice element, then the officer is frozen for you to musou.

I never miss with his final attack, you just need to know what direction his sword will be at. also alot of people said his 6th weapon was hard to get but i found it to be the easiest really, wasnt hard at all.

His 4th was miles harder to get compared to his 5th. And the stats on his 4th are much better also. Its not surprising though since I feel the 5th's were only added for collection purposes.

So far, I have been unimpressed by 5th weapons (stat wise, not look wise). The exception being Gracia (because her Ride Attack shoots way up).

I also had trouble getting Kojirou's 4th weapon, mainly because the stupid vagabonds would not give me any information, so then Ujimasa would appear instead of the search for Hideyori mission... that was a pain. I think I might have been going too fast, but whatever. I was able to get the weapon anyways because I killed Ujimasa really fast and bolted over to Hideyori (fake) and then made it to Musashi with 10 seconds to spare.

:lol: Yea, I'll be finished though before WO2 is released ;) I just play the last stage or Dream stage for each character's story mode on Expert difficulty a few times and they're maxed. It helps that they already gained a few levels after getting their 5th weapons awhile ago ;)

There are a few nice 5th weapons. Shingen's 5th is nice ... 3 attack bonuses B) same goes for Tadakatsu and Katsuie, IIRC

But yea, what LDZ said ... most are for collection purposes only
