Listen to the great BK/DK combination who have forseen that it´s going to be a Wii/PS3 release. :shifty:

I have this feeling and BK has it too (it has to be Nana):sly:

Well it could be one of the Tachibana after all or a female Saika...but I gotta say she really resembles the way I wanted Nana to look, plus the pirate guns and if I´m not mistaken that thing on her back seems to be a short sword or a big knife...that sounds very "pirateish" :D

But other than that what does that mean? We´ll see a character update with four characters this week and next week too? :huh:

So we´ll see all the characters and their profiles + plus skills and after that all the characters voices and BASARA pics + other infos or screenshots.

I´d really like that ^_^

Don't get me wrong, i really wan't it to be Nana too!

i rather have Nana than Ginchyio, but, because of those reason i said earlier, i think it might be Ginchyio.

I would oh so happy if it wasn't though. :)

Either way, that girl with the guns, looks fierce! :o

I think you're joking, but incase your not, a nana is the wife of Motochika Chousokabe.

YEEEEESSSS.

This and HnK Musou in the same issue....the manliness must have caused the issue to bust at the seams!

Any way....I'll say Nana as well. If my Nouhime must go by the way side, then I could think of few more fitting to take her place then this possible bad-ass, gang-leader chick! ^___^

about yoshitsugu,no one starts to compare him with the "other" orb wielding guy?>.<,i know,its too obvious really on both companies trying to one up each other

i liked the mummy thing that's going on though,they should've used masanori ikeda as his VA to pump up the bandaged samurai reference and yell "kenshin is DEAD!!!!!">.<

as for the gun totting "girl",its not became quite clear that they are trying to replace the "old" characters with new ones,starting with ieyasu~hideyoshi and mitsunari~kenshin and now probably this

something worth of note though:
-it might not be a girl,you know,man dresses as girl?not that strange in animes and let alone SB(we already have the super feminine kenshin) which is gives us the gun totting mercenary which banner had been shown since the early sneak peeks,before you think this is silly,the guy was raised by a whole bunch of woman ONLY,it IS possible>.<

-its might still be noh,nobunaga DIED in each of noh's stories,but she survived,which would probably be canon for SB3 since its was used in both SB1 and 2(if they wanted to make it as a non canon story they can just make nobunaga survive too,but they don't)

-flintlocks are noh's first weapons(her trademark butterfly handguns are her third),not exactly pirate~ey and it does enforce who the shadowy figure is exactly

btw its already my 1001th post? w00t>.<,next target:1337th post! :D

That would be an interesting thing. I mean, some theories like to point to the notion that Noh outlived Nobunaga, through some means...

Even so, if they wanted to do it in this fashion, it'd be an interesting way to keep the likes of Maru and Noh around, even if Nobunaga himself is definitely gone.

Uhh... except Kobayashi has repeatedly stated that the characters confirmed dead in the setting will not be appearing at all, and seems like he really meant it, so those 6 dead characters, including Nou and Maru, will be 1000% confirmed not returning.

Here's a snippet of another interview from the Gemaga magazine for that proof. In the 2nd page.

Anyway, a sneak peek of this week's full scan.

Kinda interesting on how they put Yoshitsugu and Motonari together in the banner. Probably they're gonna have an intelligence rivalry.

Also, it is said that Motonari might attempt to rise into power by himself without siding with either Ishida nor Tokugawa. If that's true then his "Oda and Toyotomi are no more, now it's my time" quote makes sense.

And... about the new silhouette... personally I doubt it could be a male... because IMO the legs are too slender for the silhouette to be a man. :crazy:
Besides, even a lot of 2chers are also dying to see a new female character in SB3, so the time might be very close now.

I can see I missed a bit. School has been keeping busy, so the wait went by pretty fast.

I'm not familiar with Yoshitsugu or his exploits, but his design is certainly unique in comparison to the other SB characters. I'm anxious to see how he plays, and how he's portrayed.

Also, Keiji's confirmed return - VERY NICE. One my favorite characters out of the entire series is confirmed to be in the game. Still...no sign of Matsunaga...bummer.

I'm curious about the new silhouette of the female character. Looks like she's Noh's replacement, wielding a gun and all.

KENPACHI AS YOSHITSUGU!? Oh my... that's another Bleach vet over there.

Just too bad I won't be hearing him do 'crazy Kenpachi' voice. It'd be probably on the lines of either Symphonia's Kratos or Odin Sphere's... Odin.

EDIT: The female may be Magoichi. I know some medias portray Magoichi as a female, so that might be a possibility.

AWESOME UPDATE! With Motochika, Keiji, Masamune, and Kojuro in, I'm a happy camper already! (along with how badass Ieyasu and Tadakatsu are) I just wish Kenshin could still be around, but if Kagekatsu and Kanetsugu are in, I'll be fine. I'm also hoping they give Yoshihiro more of a storyline this time around...I'm sure he'll be in though.

Oh, and is that a picture of Motonari and Motochika shaking hands!?

As for this new female...I could totally see that as Magoichi...after all, Magoichi Saika was a fake name used by the leaders of the Saika gun battalion (similar to the use of the name Jubei Yagyu). Who said a woman couldn't have risen to command the group by the time of Sekigahara? It would also be a refreshing take on that particular character.

A women lead a gun battalion? They can't even make decent gun sound effects. Of course I joke. It would interesting to have Magoichi as a women, considering I'm used to Mago as a womanizer.

By the way, BK, Yoshitsugu's seiyuu is actually 'Tachiki Fumihiko' not 'Tachiki Fumihito'. Fix that, or I shall punish you with what I'd like to call 'BlackKite's Bat Credit Card'.

I'll give you 5 hours time to fix, starting from this second I hit the edit button.

Hm. SB Seiyuus, serious business. I guess I wouldn't understand... you know, haven't not ported the games or anything. :XD

Gun-totting chick? I'd lol if it was Magoichi and Capcom was purposefully making a crack at Koei. Then, Magoichi would finally find the most beautiful woman in all of Japan. Him, her... something like that. FANART.

Sweet.
It appears Yoshitsugu's eyes are black while the pupil is yellow, thats bad ass right there. Well, he's taken Motonari's spot as my favourite design and hopefully he'll have a cool personality. Although, judging by his quote, he seems he'll be just as bad ass as his design :sly:

It's good to see the two Motos and Hondam aswell. It appears Capcom have finally given in to the fans wishs and we'll be seeing a decent Moto fight. Anyway, regarding the shadow, I still say its a girl. I know Capcom is capable of making very good effeminate males, like Kenshin, but Kenshin was never that... curvy around the hips and, like BK stated, the legs are too slender.

(Rough) translation of the scans:

Interviewer: What about Masamune and Yukimura, who lost their roles as main characters?

Kobayashi: Masamune and Yukimura have been "top dogs" throughout the series, but this time they'll both start as leaders of a defeated army. The teaser showed this too, but Masamune was beaten by Mitsunari at the siege of Odawara, and Yukimura too suffered a loss at the Tokugawa army's hands.

Since these two have never had a "loser" image to themselves, I'd like you all to look forward to how they will get back up.



Interviewer: Will this game's plot be centered around these 4 characters?

Kobayashi: The main chars are Ieyasu, Mitsunari, Masamune and Yukimura. In this series all characters' story ran parallel to each other: in some Nobunaga died at Honnoji, as history says, but in others he survived. In BASARA 3 all characters' stories share the same basis, and start from the same point.

(the last part is cut off-I'll get back at you tomorrow when better scans appear)


Next page

I can't read the upper part, but Kobayashi says something about being a rivalry between Ieyasu & Yukimura and Masamune & Mitsunari, but the rivalry between Ieyasu & Mitsunari (being the eastern army VS western army conflict) encompasses it (since in the end Masamune and Yukimura are two "minor" generals, and get treated as such)


Interviewer: Dead characters (e.g.: Nobunaga) will not appear?

Kobayashi: Imagawa Yoshimoto, Oda Nobunaga, Nouhime, Mori Ranmaru, Akechi Mitsuhide and Azai Nagamasa are dead. There will be new characters in their places, so please look forward to them.


Spread page: Black box below Yoshitsugu

Can't read well enough to translate word-for-word, but it basically says that he keeps control over the western army for his friend Mitsunari, who thinks only about avenging Ieyasu. He is unable to overcome the pain for the disgrace that happened to him (disease, I guess) so he has become to resent all of humanity, and regards Sekigahara as the perfect occasion to bring misfortune to one and all.


Motonari and Motochika's event pics:


They seem to be talking...maybe they will settle it at Sekigahara?


Motonari's quote

"My name is Mouri Motonari! I shall be the victor of the Land Dividing Conflict"!


Motochika's quote:

"Don't you forget it...I'm the Demon God! The Western Sea's Demon God!!"


I can barely make out the profile bits and the skills stuff, so I'll translate everything nicely tomorrow....

So does that mean Kenshin is still a possibility?! If not, any Uesugi retainer would make me squeal. Yeeeee!!!

YOSH!
Cheers again Makishima! The more I read about Yoshitsugu, the more I like Capcoms potrayel of him. Historically, hes my favourite samurai and I'm loving what Capcom are doing with him. Resenting all humanity and wanting other people to suffer his pain is really sinister... And I'm liking it it :sly:

First his amazing design and now he has this awesome personality to back it up. I'm so freakin' happy :XD

LOL at Motonari. I guess some clans will represent themselves instead of siding with Ieyasu or Mitsunari... Interesting.

Awesome work guys! thanks heaps to BK for the scans and Maki for the translation!!

Hmmm a few bits of info caught my eye in what Maki translated:

The clans mentioned which are gone: Oda, Akechi, Azai, Imagawa... No mention of the Toyotomi? I'm curious because this was Kobayashi's chance to come out and say once and for all the Toyotomi are gone, although I admit the chances are still slim of them appearing playable, I guess this all but confirms they will at least play some part even if it is just at the beginning of Mitsunari's story... Also there's no talk of the other characters in danger of missing the cut: Hojo, Zabi, Itsuki etc. In fact the Siege of Odawara castle is mentioned, which may suggest Ujimasa at least, is still around??

I'm also glad that Motonari looks like he is going to play a bigger role this time around and possibly even make a play for power. If any daimyo has the amibition and talent to do so, it's Motonari.

And Yoshitsugu, I really hope his armour piece, is his palaquin/platform itself! That would be awesome being able to upgrade it. :D

Kobayashi really likes to tease us. :mellow:

Even though he says that those six are dead...who´s playable then?
Just because they are not dead doesn´t mean they appear as playable characters.

I don´t care if a character is still alive, but not playable. If he´s not playable and only appears in some opening cutscene, then he´s dead in my eyes.

Oh well, we´ll see soon enough if Ujimasa, Kosa, Hisahide and the likes are still around as playable characters. -_-

As for the other news: Awesome.

The Motos finally get the rivalry we all wanted and Motonari finally took his chance(though it seems he won´t get a retainer...but seeing his egoistic cold lone-wolf attitude, it fits)

So it´s confirmed that the Takeda lost a battle against Ieyasu and that´s why Shingen is ill.

Nice news, can´t wait for tomorrow, I wonder what the update will look like...only characters or some screenshots or infos too? :huh:

BK and Maki!, thanks for the news :cool:

Found a better scan with readable text this time.

I'll try translating some things featured there, and Maki will then translate the rest.
First, Motonari's new skills.
命じ手「射」 Meiji te "Sha" (Ordering Hand "Shoot") - Summons archers to shoot arrows, the target area can be designated.
誘い手「幻」 Sasoi te "Gen" (Luring Hand "Illusion") - Creates illusion of self which will lure the enemy. Can be exploded.
終の手「照」 Tsui no te "Shou" (Ending Hand "Shine") - Uses sunlight to burn enemies. The ray line can be moved.

And for some reason Aniki's skills have old names, but they are improved.
There are additional attacks for Isshoku, and Tobi can now be done mid-air too.
The new skill is 撃零 Gekirei (Attack-0, Gekirei itself means encouragement), If the button keeps being pressed (?) the attack would get stronger as the lackeys will cheer for Aniki.

Also looking at Aniki's background, apparently after defeating Hideyoshi, Ieyasu for some reason tried to lay waste on Shikoku. He can't forgive his old friend and decided to join the Western army.
LOL, so in the end it still have relations with the real one. As for Mouri's independency I wonder if it's due to their inactivity in reality.

Nice. Thanks BK.
Its good to see Motochika getting a boost in his skills. 'Tobi' will be pretty fun to use, now its gained mid-air capabilities. Hopefully 'Gekirei ' isn't just another version of 'Happa', because it sounds kinda similar...

I'm liking the sound of Motonari's new skills as well, especially his last one. I always thought it odd with him being obsessed with the sun and not having any moves dedicated to it, apart from his Basara. I'm also thinking the game has implemented some sort of targeting system with Yoshitsugu's orbs being able to seek out enemies and now with Motonari's 'Meiji te: Sha' being able to "target a designated area".

Any way, I'm wondering when we'll hear more of these character specific abilities...
