I'm still hoping for Yuki's big bro Nobuyuki to be one of the 3 remaining UNPC's (or main characters...), but I could honestly care less about the other two. I really would prefer Nobuyuki over Masayuki, but I honestly wouldn't complain if BOTH were added... though some may not like the over enthusiasm of the Sanada's, lol.

I too hope for Nobuyuki to join the UNPC list. Him and ANY Date officer. I don't really care which one at this point. Masamune is the only leading general who doesn't have someone at his side, as far as I remember right now.

What about Nana?
She's Motochika's wife and I remember reading about Motochika joining up with Mitsuhide in Honouji on the SW3 V2 thread?

Though it would make more sense to add Nobuyuki. There's dialogue in SW2 from Ina, Yukimura and Tadakatsu when they are about to fight him if my memory isn't making thing up again :whistle:

Edit: 100th post!! Wooot!!!! :XD
Damn I barely post here <_<

Nana would be a much more better add at this point since she is going to have some involvement with Motochika Honnoji storyline.

Nobuyuki and Masayuki seems to be popular requests since so many fans want them to be in the game. Yukimura needs his father and Bro along side with him in the game. :XD

I've got a feeling we'll only get one more UNPC, since then the 40 character spaces will be filled. I guess he'll be revealed alongside the final character, who is most probably Motonari, which means it can be a Mori officer. Perhaps Ekei Ankokuji or Takeyoshi Murakami.

^ 100% agreement with Master Sima Yi

If that last space is filled, logically it would be someone related to Mori since he is so early in the timeline compared to the other warriors. He needs someone to interact with, right? Either an ally as said above, or perhaps an enemy like someone from the neighboring Ouchi or Amago clans.

As for the 5 NPCs prophecy, it could turn out to be only a rumor mutation of the five warriors that lost Story Mode status: Yoshimoto Imagawa, Kotaro Fuma, Toshiie Maeda, No, and Ranmaru Mori. There ya go. Five characters. Or you could count the five Murasame Castle mode NPCs (four bosses and Ayame). Mystery solved?

Will Masanori Fukushima's add to the website this Thurs./Fri. mark the end of official reveals? Will Koei leave it to the fans to scour the game in search of UNPCs?

With at least one NPC to be revealed as well as one playable i cant help but think there wil be another reveal but thats just me. Were so vigilant here in scouring screenshots and websites im astonished we dont even have a rumour or inkling as to who the last NPC is

Its certainly adding to the hype so its possible they could leave it but to be honest as soon as someone gets there hands on the game everyone around here will be informed soon enough so i see no reason to delay till actual game and have one more reveal just shy of release to peak our appeal in getting the game ^_^

Well I don't really care about Sanada, Uesugi, Takeda and Tokugawa. i don't lie these clans at all. But tehre are some clans that must be explored, like Azai, Asakura, Saito and many others. But, despite there are already many Oda officers I still would like to see Matsu Maeda :sad:

^It's possible to dislike Takeda, but I'm not sure 'bout Tokugawa and Uesugi.

Well, 3 left, so here's my opinion:

3. Miyoshi Nagayoshi or Matsunaga Hisahide, whichever is fine.
4. Saito Toshimitsu, or his sister/Motochika's wife Nana
5. Murakami Takeyoshi

For Asakura, they should make Yoshikage at least unique NPC, if not playable (in SW4).

Dosan isn't a clan. Saito Dosan was a head of the Saito clan, not Dosan clan. Though I agree we haven't got anything related to them except for Hanbei and Noh.

A little trivia, Dosan was slain by his own son Yoshitatsu (yes, the guy you saw in SW1's Inabayama).

I remember hearing something about 5 UNPC's, or is that just me making stuff up? Honestly there's only room for 1 more UNPC and Motonari to fit on the official site and having just 1 more also seems very likely. If I had to pick 1 character to be the likely last UNPC I would pick Naomasa Ii only because there was speculation that he was going to join already and alot of other ones don't make much sense. My rational is that it's not going to be a Toyotomi or Uesugi officer because they already have a UNPC. Plus koei's cutscenes that have been released of SW3 haven't included a lot of the Tokugawa, which is a bit odd considering their one of the big clans everyone knows. I could also see it being someone from the Takeda (particularly katusyori) or Hojo (Ujimasa perhaps?), but I think those two are far less likely.

You heard correctly; that was a rumor from a while back. Now that we've got the finish line in sight, so to speak, it does appear doubtful (to me at least) that there will be 5 UNPCs altogether. I suspect there's only one more (the swordwielder) left to be shown. As for who, it still seems like anyone's game. Ii, Miyoshi, or a Mori officer all seem to have gotten mention somewhere down the line. We'll see.

EDIT: @CA - Speaking of the Saito... *glances at the Roleplaying board*

Well, I'm giving up on my hope for Nobuyuki, I'll just pray for either an expansion or I'll just make him in the awesome CAW they've made for the game. :D Either way, at some time, I will get my wish. Maybe now is just too soon to hope for it.

I have a feeling they'll end up putting him in SW4 or SW5, I just have some weird gut feeling about it.

I am totally up for Saito Dousan!
he would have so much interaction with other characters.

For the other two maybe a Date and Mori?

Chacha would be great because there would be another girl to fight over Hideyoshi :D

I think there will be one more Katana MS UNPC, two naginata's and two spears.
Then it would be even:
Katana - Takamaru, ???
Naginata - Aya, ???
Spear - Masanori, ???

I don't think Nobuyuki or any other Sanada would be a good add as Yukimura has more than enough characters to interact with..

Well, when you think about it, it wouldn't be just for Yukimura's sake. Ina, Tadakatsu, and Ieyasu would all interact with Nobuyuki as well, so there's great potential there. Whether Koei would squander that potential is anyone's guess. It really comes down to: Which is more beneficial? The character who would have several interactions, or the character who would help bring greater representation to a clan (like the Date or Mori)?

I can't wait to see which side Koei went with, unless they picked Option C: A character who takes up space in an already large clan. :whistle:

Nobuyuki appears to have a higher chance than I expected, thanks to what Seraphil said. I've regained my encouragement. :XD
I wont say what he said though, he marked it as a spoiler. :ph43r:

There's one clan we still haven't heard about in all of this with a playable character, I'm beginning to think the UNPC is from the Date. Kojuro perhaps?

The Date are getting Magoichi as an officer, so I doubt they'll get a unique NPC. My bet's on either Miyoshi Nagayoshi(rumored to be one) or Takeda Katsuyori, if there even is another one at all.

Actually I'm kind of doubting that we are getting any futher UNPCs at this point. Maybe I'm being hasty, but...
I think they really might leave that one space blank to separate the NPCs from the PCs.

Then again if I'm wrong, it won't be a bad thing either ;)

I'm with you. I'll be accepting of there only being two, but not to say I won't be delighted if there is a third.

The third, I hope, is either Nobuyuki (so people can finally stop yammering on about him :XD ) or a Date officer, but seeing as Magoichi is acting as a Date officer this time around, let's go with Nobuyuki.

Now I want to know Magoichi's Storyline, just to see how many battles he fights on the Date side.

As for the mysterious third UNPC, it wouldn't surprise me if they only stuck with two, and made Takamaru the sole swordsman. In my mind, though, it's still a three-way-tie between Miyoshi, Nobuyuki, and Mori Officer X. I'm not getting my hopes up, though.
