I really hope she gets a somewhat different ENG actress compared to her JP one; I'm not a fan (I think Michelle Ruff as Shang Xiang is the best example; love her but hate Shoku's seiyuu).

Otherwise, I like it. Unfortunately, it's par the course for KOEI's new Musou female character designs, but it could have definitely been alot worse (much worse) - plus, she has the entire mystical excuse going on.

Love her weapon; I've been waiting for someone who fights with sleeves for a while :lol: . I hope her 4th isn't the pink sleeve bit; not much of a fan but I love the red one.

And I'm using 'she' rather loosely considering I think she's a bit of a trap :lol:. But hey. I'm really happy that she appears very kind-hearted and friendly - considering the mystics we've been introduced to tend to be either kind but mysterious (Fu Xi & Zuo Ci) or snappy and snarky (Nu Wa & Taigong Wang), it's nice to see a played-it-straight-friendly one.

Very nice.

As for her fighting for Orochi, I reckon it's possible, but i doubt it. I reckon she will have come to Orochi's world as support for the Mystics and to capture Wukong

She looks pretty, doesn't she? :hehe:

Like Qing Long said, I would agree with her that she looks like Gracia too. Looks like KOEI knows how to make an characters. ;)

Futhermore, her weapon looks very weird. Using long sleves as her weapon. :lol: I wonder how her move lists would be. Not to say with 'Almighty'. :)

She looks more powerful and faster than Benkei. She's got a weird but very good weapon & I would prefer to use her and not use Benkei. She looks more good and kind than evil.

She looks pretty awesome and hot, love her weapons (sleeves as weapons = WIN! :XD ). She looks like Nene face-wise,but it's nice. Can't wait to play as her, her moveset looks cool (Did you see her fly in that video? :lol: ).

^I'm guessing that flying move is her jump charge or something. It seems to act and stay in the air as long as Ma Chao's does.

For any doubters about her sleeves as weapons:

Be sure to watch the second one in particular--and for that matter if you have seen House of Flying Daggers it is a MUST SEE.

Well, don't know which side she's, but she looks to be in a good side (Taigong Wang, Fu Xi & Nu Wa side) when you see her character design & maybe Sanzang Fashi's personnality.

As some of you already said, it seems in one screenshots, that she is trying to reconcile Taigong Wang & Da Ji >> http://koeiwarriors.co.uk/screenshots/moz/s039.jpg (but we may mistaken or interpret bad this screenshot)

If she's naive as Himiko, maybe someone manipulate her to be in the Orochi side.

By the way, yes, she come from the same story as Sun Wukong.

No, Guan Yin gave it to Sanzang to put it on Sun Wukong. It is already 100% confirmed it is Sanzang. I know a lot of people speculate otherwise because its a girl, but Sanzang has always been depicted as a female in Japan.

Don't really think that makes much of a difference. :rolleyes:

Besides with the clothes she's wearing, I think it would give off the wrong impression.

Sorry but this just has to be said. Don't mean to keep going on like but... Anyway, Is it just me but I find that video disturbing when everybody looks at her in astonishment and poor Magoichi thinks she is obviously beautiful. I just find her a total creep. It's like, sleeping with a girl and finding out she had a d**k :sick: . Sorry, I won't use that terminology again but, yeah, I find this girl bizare. Same goes with her voice :wacko: .

Oh dammit. Once again, I repeat, KOEI DID NOT change Sanzo. Sanzo is female in several versions of Saiyuki in Japan, Koei decided to use that version of Sanzo so stop being ridiculous homophobes about the entire thing. Some of those versions had Guan Yin as a man, too, y'know.

Multiple times with folklore and mythical beings/gods, sometimes gender of a person/god is not clearly defined(or in some they are both male AND female,) or is just different in different stories. This doesn't change anything actually important.

Male or female, it doesn't matter right? As long as the personality is there it's good enough :lol:

I've played with her a bit, long range quite fun. Especially when you use the L+R1 and go into Clock Up mode :XD

Well, Sanzo was a gun-using chain smoker in Gensoumaden Saiyuki, and Kuan Yin was a hermaphodrite. So yeah, I'm not a homophobe. Oh, and the Japanese seiyu who did Sun Wukong here did Gato in Reload, who is a good friend of Saiyuki Goku, even though they're on different sides.

Does anyone know who voices our Miss Sanzo Houshi?

Oh, that explains A LOT. Hyper Asuna doing a female monk? No wonder some had put their "fail" stamp on her.
