So itīs confirmed that Hideyoshi and co. wonīt return?
Or that only about 10-16 characters will have a story mode?
That sounds lame.

But first, thanks for reading it, Makishima. between Sengoku warlords
That last statement was written for his son. He, too, had a quite emotional parting with Ieyasu, but his last WRITTEN statement was for his son. Thatīs why itīs something special. He did not only think of his pride and honor as a warrior, or only think about his lord, he cared for his son, his family, told him not to fight amongst his own family, raise his brothers to cultivated and pride men and that they should continue to serve the Tokugawa. But letīs let it rest at that.
(though it would be cool if you can find Kanbeiīs statment ;) )

Mitsunari and Mitsuhide may be an own army, but they often surely fought "within the Oda/Toyotomi army"...where Maeda only fought with the Oda army or team up with them and only in a not-related PSP game(were allmost everyone fought with everything and against everything)

So Ieyasu needs a second retainer and someone with an "own army" that fights for him, to be on par with Oda and Toyotomi. Thatīs what I meant it needs to be fair.

And again why does everyone say that itīll only show Sekigahara?
We donīt even know what happenend to Hideyoshi.
When did Ieyasu rebell, why did Ieyasu rebell, who helped Ieyasu?

This is a whole new story. Why should they let that leave aside?
Weīll surely be able to play that. And thus Mitsunari is still on Hideyoshiīs side, in that part of the BASARA history.
If not, more than a half of the characters would be FREE MODE characters only. And that would be more than lame.

Wtf did you hear this? I hope Capcom aren't pulling a DW6. :rolleyes:

Hakumei, yes Mitsunari is alone at the moment (although we already know he is allied with Sanada/Takeda) but most are expecting he will get at least one retainer in the form of either Sakon or Yoshitsugu.

Nah, that was meant sarcastic since all of them talk the Mitsunariīs allways alone and Hideyoshiīs dead...

Yes, that may all be, but thereīs a story before that, thatīs what I wanted to say. Of course he has his own army, but as long as Hideyoshiīs alive, heīll serve him till his death.

Oh and BTW, Iīve uploaded a .rar file with all the Artworks from SB, SB2 and Heroes:
Sengoku BASARA Artworks

Just click on click here to download and the download should start, itīs a .rar file with about 18 MB about 155 artworks, CG pictures and wallpapers.
I hope at least those are all :P

The way I see it...Isn't Mitsunari practically alone here? I mean, SB3 apparently focuses on the Battle of Sekigahara, and the rivalry between Mitsunari and Ieyasu. Hideyoshi and Hanbei obviously died before the Battle of Sekigahara...That and Hanbei is already dying from tubercolosis according to Basara continuity. Also...Historically, the Takenaka family ends up fighting alongside the Tokugawa during the Battle of Sekigahara.

If Mitsunari is going to be considered the leader of his own faction, separate from Hideyoshi...Then he doesn't have any retainers...Unless Capcom plans to do their own portrayal of the Mitsunari-Kanetsugu-Yukimura trio.
They haven't even released all the characters yet, so its pretty much definate that Mitsunari will get at Least one new retainer if not two/.

Err... who just now tried jumping to conclusion and worry that more than half of the roster won't have stories... >_>

Anyway, I personally would like Ieyasu's first stage to be his revolt against Hideyoshi, as the prologue of the storyline...

Besides, if the anime 2nd season is going to have close relation to SB3, then we have these surviving characters from the 1st season:

Date Masamune
Katakura Kojuurou
Sanada Yukimura
Sarutobi Sasuke
Takeda Shingen*
Uesugi Kenshin*
Kasuga
Chousokabe Motochika
Mouri Motonari
Maeda Keiji
Maeda Toshiie
Matsu
Fuuma Kotarou (?)
Mori Ranmaru*
Itsuki

The first 4 are so obvious.
Shingen and Kenshin are also still alive at 1st season, but I have a feeling that at the beginning of the 2nd season...
I can't see Kasuga disappearing either since she's basically already a staple part of the Uesugi army in Basara. Perhaps Kenshin would entrust her to continue guarding the Uesugi for his sake.
Then the Motos, they are said to be expected to do more in the 2nd season.
And the Maedas too. Toshiie historically died only 1 year before Sekigahara just like Motochika so in the Basaraverse probably they're just going to keep him alive.
And finally Kotarou. His disappearance might signify that he is still alive, lurking around the land.

As for Ranmaru, well that's another story since he's already confirmed dead for SB3 storyline. Perhaps he's going to try building a family with Itsuki in the anime world?w

And since Hideyoshi, Hanbei and Musashi are yet to appear at the 1st season, obviously they're not going to miss their chance in the 2nd season, which also gives hope that they'll still be in SB3.

So the only true concerns should go to the people who are confirmed dead in both the anime S1 aftermath and SB3 background: Imagawa, Azai, and Oda...

Which gives me,atleast,hope that none of the characters won't be cut.
I mean,Mitsuhide had such an impact on the anime and most probably garnered more fans who've never even played BASARA.Now,with BASARA 3 announced,it gives those 'new' fans a chance to taste BASARA,but what will they do if Mitsuhide has been cut due to the game focusing on Sekigahara?
Not to mention he's a fan favourite.

And because Itsuki-chan's alive in the anime,it probably gives her a chance to appear in the game and now that we've seen the Saika crest,that also gives Kennyo a chance aswell.And lets face it,if those two are getting in so is Mitsuhide...So I basically have no fear of character cuts.I'm sure Capcom don't want to take the 'DW6' route and have a ton of angry fans on their tail...Plus,it'd give Koei the upper hand.

Lets just have faith in Capcom.

That also right. Remember that we still should have some faith in SB's staple Conquest mode, where all the clans have their own fiefs. ;)

Well, at another case though, I somehow have a feeling that they are going to split the mode into "Sengoku time" and "Sekigahara time" as part of an 'improvement' to the mode... ^.^:;

No one even looked at it yet or at my Hisahide thread :sad:

Oh well... ^_^

I really donīt get it why CAPCOM has to worry itīs fans about characters returning or not, make such a big secret about the release date or made a secret about the system itīs on.

Just tell us the standart facts allready CAPCOM. Are all the characters back? Yes or no...I know a lot of other companys use those mystery promotion strategy, to carefully create rumors and leak informations, but itīs starting to get on my nerves. Can anyone remember the mysterious Zelda site countdown, that turned out to be 30 Second Hero(or whatever itīs called)? I was obvious that fans would think itīs Zelda, but the creators wanted exactly that to happen. All those countdowns, rumors and secrets...I hope this trend stops.

As for CAPCOM taking history serious now, I hope thatīs a joke, since it leaves no place for creativity, thatīs why I liked BASARA so far, since it didnīt even look at it (well at least not much), so why suddenly start with it and be all serious about who was still alive and who fought at which battle on which side, etc...

It would ruin BASARA. Really. It. would. ruin. it.
No creativity no fun.

I mean it doesnīt matter if Toshiie died one year before, after all thatīs BASARA...or at least it was. And I hope itīll continue this way.
Thatīs why Motochika and Motonari should take part in it too.

Just because they werenīt there in history... :rolleyes:

Thanks DK,I must of skipped your post ^.^;
I'll download the artwork as soon as I can get on my computer.I'm on mah PS3 at the moment.

Anyway,I agree that Capcom should state wether all characters are back or not.I,personally,have no doubt that characters won't be cut but it'd be great if Capcom could say so at the TGS.And I also agree on the whole history thing.I mean,they've only loosely followed history so far and it'd be pretty odd if they started strictly following it now...

Anywho,is this the most active English speaking BASARA board?
I'm trying to look for another decently active English BASARA fanbase but nothings really stood out to me :/ (Not to say i'm leaving this board though)

Just kidding.

Yeah, thatīs why Iīm sticking with Koeiwarriors (DW, SW, WO, GW, SB)

A lot to discuss ^_^

But again, thanks to Devilkings "flop" not that many people know about Sengoku BASARA, except for us, who are total fans, some who play it if a new ones out and some thanks to the SB anime(but they may not know itīs a game, since only Devilkings came out overseas and never an SB game)

So, for now, I too, donīt know any SB community that doesnīt use signs that look like some scratches -_-

I'm not worried about any cuts... im pretty sure all the characters will be in one way or another (i, oh so want to play the SB2:Heroes characters i missed out on)
Even if they dont have a story.

I hope that Mitsuhide and Nobunaga get stories.... i love fighting on the rooftops of Honoji :sad: . And the epicness of their showdown....

If not, more than a half of the characters would be FREE MODE characters only. And that would be more than lame.

I never said that Hideyoshi was cut, that's pretty unlikely. I doubt any characters will be cut. I'd be inclined to agree if we saw a total rehaul in designs of the characters. But only Ieyasu got revamped, while Date and other characters return in their original designs.

Hideyoshi and Nobunaga may have fought together. However, Hideyoshi's plot, it shows him turning on Nobunaga to fulfill his own ambitions. In the end, Hideyoshi becomes his own faction. I'm pretty sure Mitsunari will turn out the same way...as most of the cutscene captures show Mitsunari standing alone before Date, Kojuuro, and Ieyasu. I seriously doubt Mitsunari will be loyal to Hideyoshi in the end.

And I honestly don't think that Ieyasu needs another officer, or more so an officer with his own faction. He has Tadakatsu...and honestly...that's overkill already, as there's only one character can possibly match his strength: Yoshihiro.

On an unrelated note, I hope Matsunaga becomes a fully playable and unique character. I totally forgot about him previously. Hopefully he'll keep his awesome sword.

You should post that in my MATSUNAGA HISAHIDE IS AWESOME discuss the character thread :sly: (and yes heīll be playable, they allready planned making him playable in Sengoku BASARA Battle Heroes for the PSP, but there wasnīt enough time to add him)

I know that you never said that, Hakumei:

In SB3's story the Toyotomi are apparently gone...so Mitsunari and co. don't even have a chance of being considered part of it...(well, spiritually they do...)


Thatīs what I meant (sorry too quote you again, Makishima :P )

Everybody talks as if itīs confirmed that all "characters before Sekigahara" are gone or we wonīt get a chance to play for example Hideyoshiīs story.
Yes, in Mitsunariīs story he might be dead, but that doesnīt mean weīll never get to play Ieyasuīs rebellion or Akechiīs rebellion.

Hope never dies and I wonīt give up, since I love playing Mitsuhideīs story and all the other characters, even if they end up as slapstick storys again. -_-

That's good to hear. Matsunaga is one of my favorite characters of the series. Honestly, he's the reason why Kojuuro's story mode is so enjoyable.

I'm actually excited to play as Mitsunari now. Historically, he's supposed to be extremely unlikable, so it'll be cool to see how he interacts with the other characters in Basara.

Who knows...there might be something implied in Ieyasu's new design. Ieyasu now uses his fists in battle much like Hideyoshi did, and now Ieyasu stands in Mitsunari's way. Maybe there's something being suggested about both Mitsunari's relationship with Hideyoshi and his relationship with Ieyasu.

Hey, I would hate it as much as all of you if the Toyotomi and the Oda were gone. But the statement Kobayashi made in the Famitsu interview just won't get out of my head...


"In the SB3 story the Oda and Toyotomi are no more...and this facts reflects itself on the actions and thoughts of the other characters, and each one responds in his/her own way"

Now this is adequately ambiguous, as it doesn't outright say that they will be cut, but it makes you wonder how they will be implemented...

I hope for what if stories, flashbacks, whatever...as long as I can play as them in a story mode, it's all good...

Anyway, the Saika inclusion *should* make us hope for the best. They wouldn't have included a new character (faction, even) just for free mode, right?



As for a new Tokugawa-allied faction...that's a nice idea. What about...the Hosokawa? We could have Gracia and her hubby..? Or the Kuroda father and son...even if it'd mean "copying" SW again...

For the sake of a series that has a storyline which, fundamentally, works about on the same wavelength as the story that goes with a Fighting Game? Again, I'm not too worried.

I stick by my personal opinion that that I voiced about a week and some change ago:

At worst, maybe some characters may (STILL) be stuck as "Extra Mode" characters, with no real storyline to speak of. That would be lame, considering that they even gave those "HEROES" extras storylines of their own in SBBH. So I'd like to think that such a thing would not happen.

At best, I'm expecting anything along the lines that some characters may have storylines that are largely "not canonical", or otherwise some how "less important" (if such a thing really matters in the BASARA-verse).

This could basically entail that the various "old guard" characters could still have storylines that would extend past their "deaths". Furthermore, maybe some characters, like Ranmaru may still be due for a re-design, simply for the reason that he SHOULD be older by the time of Honnouji, whether he actually dies in some character's storylines or not. After all, he was supposed to be 17 at the time of his death. Really doesn't make any sense for him to still be like a 12 year old at that time, even for the sake of the BASARA-verse. :hehe:

...In other words, not unlike how the Musou series has operated, largely.

Even as some characters may not be nearly as important this time around, I don't think Capcom has any legit reason to cut people out. Especially when a number of them are still so highly favored, and, as BK agrees with what I said a while ago, that the anime shouldn't advertise characters who have intention of being in the latest and greatest game.

I'd like to think that Capcom doesn't want to repeat the same mistake that happened to Street Fighter 3.

"Oh yeah! Let's toss out like 75-90% of the original roster, and replace it with new characters who can't hope to match up to the icons of the past!" :hehe:

It didn't work for SF, and SF was a worldwide-recognized brand. BASARA, a series that's still a "growing boy", by many means, definitely can NOT afford to do such a thing.

FORGET THAT Makishima.

Join my "We will not give up, untill CAPCOM says it officially" mood.
Did you remember the Wii thing? Some magazine claimed to know it and everyone believe it. No one believed in a Wii/PS3 port anymore.

But it happenend. Letīs have faith in CAPCOM. As Iīve said, maybe it means, that this time, for the first time, outcome of battles in history, will have effect on other characters storys and dialogues depending on the time their story plays in.

So people in the Oda era are the same as allways, people playing in the Toyotomi era will refer to Azai-Asakura being betrayed by Oda and defeated, Mitsuhideīs betrayal and his own death and people like again Nagamasa, Nobunaga, Yoshimoto, etc. will allready be dead.

And people playing after Ieyasuīs rebellion will refer to all that said and talk about the defeat of Hideyoshi and him having died with all the other characters that die during that(probably Shingen seeing as Yukimura is now a general)

...or just add Gaiden storys like in Hereos. So thereīs an option with STORY MODE and GAIDEN STORY MODE.

Cause everything else would dissapoint more than one SB fan...
(I WANTED A DAMN STORY FOR HISAHIDE, AFTER WAITING SO LONG TO PLAY HIM AND STEAL STUFF AND TAKING HOSTAGES, ALLMOST FOR THREE GAMES...well counting in SBX to make it more dramatic...AND THEN HE DOESN`T GET A STORY....[insert some really really really really really really really really really really really really really really...insert some more really.....really bad word in here])

So CAPCOM donīt make such a mistake...you wonīt make such a mistake..you DON`T WANT to make such a mistake, right?

I'm inclined to agree with Hokuto no Ben in that there's no reason for Capcom to cut characters. I'm pretty sure that's just Capcom's way of saying that they aren't going to focus too strongly on Nobunaga or Hideyoshi, instead they're going to focus more on the conclusion of the Sengoku era.

The only, ONLY way to justify cutting characters is if Capcom added more characters to take their place. And I highly doubt they will.

Thank you! :hehe:

Furthermore, there's always the thing that, as has been brought up before...even as we start to come to the close of the Sengoku Jidai, we still have plenty of ground that could be covered from the Oda and Toyotomi eras, that haven't brought to light, just yet.

So, if they really want to make it so that there could be like 3 major "eras/generations" within the BASARA-verse, there ya go. And thus, would create plenty of reason for the shadows of Nobunaga and Hideyoshi to hover around.

Plus...why be in such a hurry to move forward? After all, if Capcom wants BASARA to stay around for a good long while, they should realize that, after Sekigahara, there's really only one more "major conflict" of the Sengoku era, the "Siege of Osaka" in 1615, which actually does more to be a part of Edo Period.

So....there shouldn't be too much reason to rush, on Capcom's part. I'm expecting them to do more to try and drag out BASARA for as long as they can. And then after that, they may yet go the whole "Orochi" route, and have the BASARA cast do a bunch of wild n crazy things...more than usual! :hehe:

Itīs getting dried out here.

Hope thereīs some small info in the Famitsu this week...or itīll get boring as hell till the TGS...be honest...there wonīt be much change in Yukimuraīs and Masamuneīs voice...so the only real thing Iīm looking forward to is Mitsunariīs voice...and after that...meh. :hmmm:

A friend of mine said, that most of the japanese boards talking about BASARA too, are bored and are slowly leaving the hype train again...

Well, Smash Bros. Brawl really had the best way to keep fans entertained...even though some of the daily week day updates were crap...there was something to discuss...even though it was just complaining about the update being crap.

Well...maybe thatīs the point? They want people to talk about that nothingīs there to talk about.

I wouldn't worry too much.

This is just what happens in the cycle of a decently anticipated game release. You can't honestly expect the hype train to be going full blast all the way, especially since we have at least a good 4 months, at the earliest, to the game's actual release.

At worst, they may have us wait til TGS, which should be a nice "explosion" of info, and then a good dry spell, dotted by periods of "drip feeds" over the next few months.

Or, on the other hand, they may try and give us some nice leaks every once in a while, over the next period or so. A more "even flow" of information, if you will.


But I think a lot of companies were able to watch and learn from Smash Brawl's example, and see that it's probably a way to NOT do things.

Because in the end, so many leaks of information, a la a "Smash Dojo" style way of doing things, did more to work towards what you were saying you didn't really want, DK...TMI or "Too Much Information". By basically November/December 07, before the game's release, we knew 75-80% of all the relevant stuff about the game, and it did a lot to work against the hype, especially once the game was in people's hands.

Zelda: TP, and DMC4, are yet more examples of games that were just so hyped up, and so much information was given out before hand, that in the end, the games themselves, couldn't hope to live up to the lofty expectations of their public. By all sakes and purposes, both are decent games, but TMI probably did a lot to work against it.

So, basically, I'm all for moderation, when it comes to information. I'm prepared for times when we may have some dry spells, then another good-sized leak, like what we had two weeks ago, and etc.

And honestly, that's what I'm expecting the more reasonable fans to follow suit with.

Well, Iīd allready written a nice contra post, that wouldīve surely gotten us into a nice discussion, but...that would be a waste of time.

Itīs just my dissapointment, speaking out of me, about the marketing route they are taking. Waiting for something is allways hard, since waiting, means passing time and time is something we allready have not much of...and we wonīt get it back. But letīs not get philosophical here, itīs "only a game".

Itīs good that they donīt take the "DOJO" route...but now it seems they are taking the "Red Dead Redemption" route...release some awesome infos and trailer in one week, start the site, even though thereīs still much time till it comes out, give us the much saying "release 2010" info, and leave it at that, with some small picture leaks sometime.

Batman: Arkham Asylum, had the best marketing Iīve experienced since a long time...it actually managed to keep me hyped and entertained for 5 whole months(they too released a site and a trailer around 5-6 months before the game came out) and Iīm as much a B-Man fan as Iīm a BASARA fan.

But BASARA wasnīt even able to do that for more than one week(we had to help out with topics of our own), even though Iīm probably one of the most dedicated fans around, who could even talk hours about just one new picture.

Thatīs what dissapoints me a bit. Itīs like CAPCOM gave me a lot of food for one week...but now Iīm starving. You shouldnīt let your fans starve...a starved fan wonīt buy a game. :shifty:

So whereīs my food, CAPCOM? Iīm hungry.

Well, you don't seem to be familiar with it yet DK, but this is Capcom's way of releasing information on their games. They mainly release huge information batches monthly, and on the weeks between they just update the site little by little. Only when the game is very close to release the batches will get more frequent.

I don't know if you remembered it or not, but they've been doing like this since the SB2 time, then SB2H, and SBBH as well. So I'm not surprised with this slow pace of update. :rolleyes:

Also, this applies not only to SB, but also to other games made by Capcom, such as Rockman, Street Fighter and Ace Attorney games. So just take it easy for the time being. :whistle:

Hmmm...I guess youīre right.

Maybe Iīm just spoiled by games like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Little Big Planet.

Those were games I waited a long time too, but they managed it to make me forget the fact that Iīm waiting...it felt like I had the game allready in my hands, with news and trailers every week.

CAPCOM takes their time...I know that...it just has been a long time, that I had to wait for a game that long...and the WAITING ACTUALLY FEELS THAT LONG :crazy:

Well, it only seems so long, because we've been waiting a long time for SB3 to be unveiled.

But now that we have actually started seeing the game, and then a rather clear window of when the game is scheduled for (March '10, at the latest)? It doesn't seem too far, in my opinion.

Then again, because I'll be all up in Bayonetta when it comes out (Importing the JP version! :hehe: ), it likely won't see that long at all, on my end.

But in any case, cool your jets, DK. The game is coming. We've actually seeing it with our own eyes, and got some snippets of info. We're now in the midst of a regularly scheduled "drip feed" cycle. This is to be expected. :hehe:
