Both are filled with awesomeness! I'm surprised my head didn't explod- *head explodes* Love the opening, and although it doesn't reveal all of the characters you can get a pretty good idea of who will be. |

ya that scene between Mamiya, Kenshiro and Rei, hints that Kiba Daio will be in the game. and it 100% confirms Jagi too. |

Along with Raoh and Rei. Because those two are in it is safe to assume that anyone related to them story-wise is a potential PC. |

ya we seen Raoh and Rei pics for a long time. http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp191/koeiwarriors/Crimsondramon/HnK%20Musou/003.jpg but Jagi wasn't 100% confirmed until this intro. (even though we saw a glimpse of his chest in a scan). It remains to be seen if Rin and Yuria are playable, that will be hilarious and cool if it's true though. Warriors Orochi 2 can have someone young like Himiko fighting, so I can imagine Rin using a crossbow and grenades. xD It would be amazing to see if Souther and Yuda make it in this game. as well as the 5 Nanto Goshasei. Even though they were filler, Colonel and his army would be great too. For now, Kiba Daio and his army are confirmed it seems. and of course Raoh's army. I wonder if Ryuuga will make it in? oh yeah and definitely Toki. There are not that many female fighters so I think Airi/Ailee as a playable would be cool too! She did kill one person. There was also Jennifer, not sure if she was filler, though. Edited by saner, Nov 7 2009, 10:09 PM.

Honestly, I don't see this game having more than one playable female character. Mamiya is the only important female character that can actually fight. Sure, she can't face those Hokuto and Nanto dudes, but she could handle the bandits pretty well. That is a good enough reason to have her as a playable. As for the other female characters, it would be ridiculous to have them as playable. It would go against their characters and all that...You know, because they didn't fight. But I could definitely see Koei adding more than one female playable just to balance the rooster. They could add Yuria wearing her general's armor so she could go around nanto-ing people. While it certainly won't stay true to the series, it could be fun. |

I found the opening a bit droll in all honesty  . And my attention didn't last very long, I found myself thinking about other things whilst watching it. Music wasn't engaging either, something about it just felt wrong for me.

Unless the story goes up to the Kaioh arc where Lin is much older. Then again that would force them to add Hokuto "Master" Bart  However with the discussion of female characters it ould mostly be a bunch of Hokuto/Nanto/Taizan male characters with normal fighter females (like Reina, Mamiya and Older Lin). Though I heaven't read the manga so the "Older Lin" statement might be unplausible to begin with. |

Conqueror that Appeared at the End of the Age

Again, for those who saw this intro at the conference or the stream, weeks ago, this much was already known. ^^;
Colonel and Jackal were actually in the manga, and actually took place after Shin's Arc. It was only the anime that shifted them around and made them Shin's cronies (which was lame). So I'd like to think they'd both make it. And Ryuuga should make it too. Fairly important character, and I could see him having his own storyline in Dream/Musou mode. Plus, this guy was practically the predecessor to "two scoops! Haagen Das!" 
Yep, filler. She was basically Mamiya with blond hair, though, so it makes no real difference. Hell, they gave Mamiya her color scheme in the HnK Arc Sys fighter.
Again, like with what BK proposed, I don't think this much is going to happen. Hara and Buronson are still the ones that Koei has to report to, when it comes to this game. They're not going to allow but so much in the way of "creative liberty". If they didn't allow Arc Sys to make up a female fighter, or make Yuria into a fighter, then I really don't see Koei getting any more liberties. Hokuto no Ken is a manly series. There weren't that many female fighters. Mamiya was the only one in part 1 of the manga. Koei's going to have to deal with that, or they likely shouldn't have chosen HnK as the basis for a new game. |

The Story part of the game will be all/mostly Kenshiro, but with the Dream/what if scenarios, they can do almost whatever they want, really. Yuria can fight.....with a rock or something. Or maybe her moves consist of summoning Shin out of thin air. they could give Lin like yo-yo grenades. I think during the Colonel fight, she threw grenades at soldiers outside. Airi/Ailee can receive her trademark crossbow she used. There was also a female fighter from Cassandra, she used a rose or something. oh yes also remember the evil wife of that fat guy that breathes fire? The fat one who invited Kenshiro to sit with him for dinner? His wife can use illusions and stuff like she tried to do to Kenshiro. I think it's possible motorcycles will be used as mounts for the Dynasty Warriors objective/gameplay style Dream mode. Edited by saner, Nov 8 2009, 08:59 PM.

Actually, they said things to the effect of "original storylines". Even so, I wouldn't put such stock in such things. That more than likely just spells out you being able to play any of the important characters, and play out a "What If...?" storyline from their angle. One of the things that they stressed during the conference was that they wanted to craft a game that created a "believable" Hokuto world in the game, utilizing the original manga as a source. That, to me, doesn't spell any thing that leads to the notion of Lin or Bart being children that can actually hang with the big boys, or Yuria some how being able to manifest some part of her Nanto heritage to cut people. That's not what the original manga was about, and even if the game allows for some twists in "Dream" mode, I doubt such things will be altered for Koei's sake. Hara and Buronson didn't have but so much involvement in the OVA Gaidens, but they still had some degree of control over what happened. What more could be expected for a project like this, which they actually have been keeping an eye on? Unless Hara and Buronson have some how changed their way of thinking, this is what I think is going to be the story: if they didn't throw a punch, cut some body into ribbons, or just used some type of means that could be construed as a style of fighting? They have no right to be a playable character, really. And Koei-originating characters are out, as well, so that's out. |

I'm pretty sure this is a result of not being familiar with the series. Since this is pretty much a fanservice game, those who know the anime got more out of the trailer than those of us who aren't familiar with it

Well, I've known Hokuto no Ken for ages and still think it's one of the best anime/manga series, yet I didn't find that intro so exciting. However I liked the first part better. |

the intro is exciting! it's so cool seeing Rei move his hand, and Jagi sending the thugs at Kenshiro, and Yuria's tears turning into the constellation, and Raoh's steps damaging the earth, and Kenshiro's aura ripping his shirt off.

Essentially everything in it is cool. Honestly I became hooked after watching the gameplay video (despite how short it is). |

I'm more excited about this than any other Koei game. I been huge fan of Hokuto no ken since I was a kid. I don't know if you guys discuss this yet, but you think they might have some characters from the Den Series? (legend series) |

All signs point to "no", on that front. The original manga (up to the final fight with Raoh), is what is the focus here. HnK2, the Gaidens and all that jazz will have to wait til later (if it stands to get its turn). |

what's going on tommorrow? Koei would really benefit form turning Hokuto Musou into a series! Imagine if they eventually complete the HNK2 arcs as well! stuff like Hyo and Kuroyasha vs. the 500 soldiers would be so EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (even more epic than the anime, which didn't show much of it. :p )

The only thing would be....what would be left? Unfortunately, by the time we get to the Shura Arc, there's not much left. Sure, we could go into the stuff happened afterward, to the end of the manga, and then dip into the OVA/Gaiden material, but that's the kinda stuff that starts to get redundant after a while... ...On the other hand, if they were to find some way to continue the story with the official say-so of Hara/Buronson, that'd be nice. Always wanted to see what could happen with Ryu, and if some of the other stuff that happened in other games could be done better this time around... |
