I give him Zhang He credit for becoming very unique as a character, and not following the steriotypical "I need muscles to be awesome" male characters.

However, they did take away a bit too much of the manly in which he had. I do not get, he was postively gorgeous but he did not look like a woman in the least. This is my least liked design for him, minus the outfit and beyond cold claws.

@Luxun_warrior96 I agree with your list, except for the Sima Yi and the Zhang He part...
It's true that Sima Yi's voice in DW6 was awesome, but it just doesn't fit the character design in my opinion, I would prefer to hear something more fitting to the character than "just beign awesome".
As for Zhang He, I really would like it to change from the DW6...I mean, I doubt it's the "high pitch-ness" that didn't work out, maybe it's more on his way of talking that didn't work, I don't know. All I know is that I prefer his voice on DW5.
Well, if they were to change Sima Yi's voice I would like for it to be better than 6. I do not want his DW5 voice again! I think u might be right about Zhang He though, maybe it's the way he talks that should change! (I'm in no way trying to start a long argument that's about Zhang He's sexual preference. I
know alot of people would do that but just please, no! If you need to, ignore the last comment)

Sorry, this is a long list. xD;

Zhao Yun: He still looks good, but I actually prefer his DW6 look..
Bao Sanniang: Nothing really good to say about her look, tbh..
Ma Chao: I like it, but perhaps the outfit should be slightly different in shade than it is right now..
Xing Cai: Much improved! I like! :)
Jiang Wei: Better than last time, which is what you want to think about a character's new look. xD
Huang Zhong: Nice helmet. xD
Yue Ying: Not sure about that shade of green, and it might look better if her midriff was covered by that white and black fabric too.. But still, I guess it's not too bad. I like her hair, it's stylish and suits her character more, I think. :) But again, that shade..? :/
Zhuge Liang: I actually miss his DW6 hair :( , though it might not have worked with his current outfit so well. Nevertheless, I quite like this new look - understated ^_^ Co-ordinates nicely with his wife, lol, but the poor guy looks a little older/wearier than last time.
Liu Shan: I guess it fits. The pattern on his coat is stylish, just.. not my style xD;
Sima Shi: LOL, it was such a shock when I found out this guy wasn't Cao Pi. But it's a neat look.
Sima Zhao: Nice design, says something about his personality (like Sima Shi's does about his).
Wang Yuan Ji: Mostly like her design.. Mostly. -_-
Zhuge Dan: Stern, frosty.. Pretty cool design.
Sima Yi: Took a bit to get used to (maybe it was the hat?), but I like this a lot now. Sima Yi still has style! (And aww, he's kept a bit of purple there. :P )
Deng Ai: Refreshing change, comparing him with everyone else in Jin. xD
Guo Huai: I like the colour scheme in his clothes. And the more I see him, the less and less he looks like Kanbei, which is good. xD
Xiahou Ba: Neat armour, and you can tell he has a baby-face even when he puts the helmet on :XD
Cao Cao: It'll be a cold day in hell when Cao Cao radically changes his look.. :sly:
Zhen Ji: Classy, and yet.. :/
Xiahou Yuan: Much better than his DW6 look! :]
Xiahou Dun: First the hairdo seemed strange, but I do really like his new look.
Cao Ren: D:
Zhang Liao: Ah, it's like his DW5 self came back with better clothes XDD
Dian Wei: Cool new look.. But did your face change a little..? :S
Zhang He: Nice. ^_^
Zhou Tai: Very good. xD
Lu Xun: :/
Ling Tong: I remember it was surprising to see his DW7 look but I've definitely grown to like it now :D
Sun Ce: Cool as ever!
Taishi Ci: Nice new outfit (and helmet) there.
Xiao Qiao: Argh. No.. Not her best look ever (but I guess I can get used to it -_- ).
Meng Huo: They finally found the right balance. :)
Yuan Shao: Suitably extravagant.
Zhang Jiao: o_o; What did they do to you?! Poor guy, they shoved you in an Aging Machine. xD ..But I still overall kinda like his new look.
Dong Zhuo: For all that he's gaudier, he almost looks.. toned down from DW6. And a tiny bit more human.


And I agree with you in your above post Luxun_warrior96 - I hope Sima Yi's voice at the very least stays the same as his DW6 one... It suits his character far more than his DW5 one did, anyway.

CAO PI: Dear God....do us a favor and PLEASE bring back DW5 Cao Pi...bring it all back: his look, his weapon (double bladed sword), and his voice actor. He was so BADASS!

Ahh the good old days:

Cao Pi Being Badass!

Cao Pi being even MORE Badass!

Seems I was right, added costumes will make a difference for those who stated otherwise, or believed we just had to accept the changes. It has been announced that the DW6 costumes shall be downloadable for free, meaning people who have stated they did not want to play in Xiao's and others new garments will not have to.

So far I've liked all of the new designs. I don't quite get the "They're too realistic" argument. I thought DW6 was a lot more "normal" in terms of its aesthetic, while DW7's characters seem to find the perfect balance between grounded and flamboyant.

Obviously, being a Zhang He fan, I'm the biggest fan of his new model. I love that they went back to a style that echoes his DW3 appearance more, and he looks a lot more creepy and dangerous as opposed to simply camp. I love camp, but I'll take badass-flamboyant any day of the week.

Lu Bu looks like just another warrior, not the near-god they made him in the previous games. I'm a little disappointed.

Lian Shi looks good and mature... But her dress doesn't. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but it doesn't fit a fine lady like her.

And Sun Quan, well, not great but not too bad either. I think I preferred the older look he had before this generation.

Already gave my honest opinion on Lian Shi in the female discussion thread so I am just going to skip that.

Sun Quan: Love love love despite the fact they gave him the recycle hand pose where only this time it's his right hand. I am kinda disappointed with that but at the same time I had a feeling it was going to be done. I could care less at this point. I am just too overwhelmed with happiness that he was finally reveal that I just need to get my hands on his render so I can abuse him in photoshop non-stop. :wub:

Lu Bu: For all the people who said he resembles Quan really needs to get their eyes check lolz. I don't see how the ponytail hair comes from Quan in him at all. Maybe the eyebrows a bit but that is it. His design is fine with me. I am not much of a fan when it comes to him but one that is enjoyable to play.

Wish I could get a better view of Pang Tong and Wei Yan but I don't care at this point lol.

Latest characters

Lian Shi - WOW gotta say i'm liking the look not what I was expecting but nice! shame I don't have the ability to enjoy her look in all its splendor though :sad: with a 3D TV :lol:

Sun Quan - It's good I like the fact he isn't going back to his old plank head days but I think i'll give him his DW6 outfit whenever I can.

Lu Bu - My favourite one of his its soooooo much better than anything else he's ever worn definitely keeping him in this! :XD

I could care less about Lu Bu and Sun Quan, so I'm skipping them.

Lian Shi: I cannot stand this design. Her face is not attractive in the least, and I normally don't have a problem with 'ugly' characters. But she's just so much worse. On top of having that face, she wears a ridiculous outfit. I don't think it's hot at all, like several others do. Her skirt is too short, and her freakishly pale skin makes vampire Zhou Yu look normal. The only thing I remotely like about her is her hair, which reminds me of Kojiro's. I especially hate her top. Cover up more, please. I don't think Lian Shi can pull off cleavage and showing some skin, whereas other females make it look good. It just makes her look rather trashy. Overall, I am not a fan of this design.

Lian Shi: Surprised their name didn't start with Bu. Interesting look and it suggests they are going to move away from what little the history tells us. Hair is fine though not a favourite by any mean, not a big fan of the earrings and something about the face that seems slightly unattractive. I like the costume itself, like the detailed armguards combined with the plain neck-protector, gloves look nice. Dislike the yellow in the boots but otherwise they look quite nice, the skirt seems too small, nicely patterned as it is. Nice belt, like the patterns on the chest. All in all, a quite nice appearance, not fantastic but 7/10 type stuff.

Sun Quan: Mr grumpy! I like the ponytail, not so much the main hair, face seems rather hard which I don't think suits him. Armour very nicely detailed from the belt to the white images on the chest plate, like the armguards. It's a nice costume

Lu Bu: Plume is over the top, really not a fan of his hair and can take or leave the face. The only problem with his armour is his boots look too chunky, otherwise it makes for a suitably imposing set for the mighty warrior, the little splashes of red are a decent touch.

Lian Shi, I don't particularly like it for the same reasons as others have said. I think she could have been designed a lot better too ...

Sun Quan, the top half I love :heart: it makes him look really good, the bottom half isn't as good but he looks like serious ruler, ^_^ his DW6 outfit is still my favourite though.

Lu Bu, I think he looks really good too ^_^ he's not a character I like to use but his new outfit really suits him :)

Agreed. They modified him without turning him into some bastardized version of his former self (though I'm sure some people would say otherwise :facepalm: ) Say what you will about his hair/face/etc....he stills looks like he can kick some major A$$ six ways from Sunday baby! lol

As for the rest of the new reveals...*cracks fingers*

Lian Shi/Bu Furen/Lady Bu/Sun Quan's Baby Mama:

Firstly.... :OMG: ....just :OMG: , I think you all know what I'm talking about...lol. With that out of the way, exactly what purpose does this attractive, voluptuous woman serve in the story? She's SSX's servant you say? What is she serving? Milk?? lmfao...Seriously tho, considering all of the overdue/pertinent characters KOEI COULD have added....they choose Sun Quan concubine #3...bravo Koei...bra-vo...14 year olds will be salivating at their TVs...job well done... <_<

Moving on...Sun Quan. Have to say I'm quite pleased with his revision. DW6 saw him looking pretty ordinary and average to me (kinda like "Peon" Liu Bei from DW6). Now he looks more majestic and regal. Me likey. :shifty:

Now if Cao Pi/Guan Ping go back 2 their DW5 days and Wei Yan looks good....I will be in heaven. :bowdown:

Lian Shi - Pisses me off as much as her in the game does. Wtf is Koei thinking adding her when they could make Sun Luban a similar character, first off, and why not Lady Wu? She's a big set of boobs and a mini skirt, nothing else.

Lu Bu - Hated it at first but actually like it a bit now. I'll be using both outfits now. It's an interesting change, but still hate the random armor missing over his abs.

Sun Quan - His best yet, I love it.

Lian Shi I don't dislike, nor fond of. All I can say is that her design fits well in Wu from my perspective. Wu needs a mature looking female in there faction, WAY TOO MANY childlike girls in there bunch.

Lian Shi: Well, she is perfect to me. Physically, I can not blam her. I love the color of her skin, it goes well with the color of her hair and her eyes. The colors of her outfit is nice too, they agree with the colors of Sun Quan's outfit. Thank KOEI have finally added a real woman in Wu.

Sun Quan: Improved of his Dynasty Warriors 6, I think. I find he really Emperor now. I am nevertheless glad they kept the same haircut and the same face. I was afraid of him again with his beard... Nothing wrong, good job on him.

Lu Bu: A big improvement over his design in Dynasty Warriors 6! And I would even say that this is the best design he had so far. He still has the armor on him, but less. He is therefore less eaten by his armor. I like his haircut too, it changes from his predecessors haircuts. Diao Chan must be delighted with his Lu Bu, haha.

Sun Quan: Badass design. I love how its going back to the DW4 design style mixed with the DW6 design. Looks epic. His face has aged too. 10/10

Lian Shi: Double D's is the first thing I noticed, Tecmo influence. ahaha. This whole appearance/outfit looks strikingly similar Magoichi from SB3. It looks good. 8/10

Lu Bu: Speechless. I love how his face is aged and reverted to the original pre-DW6 one. In the screens its all godly. 100/10

Lian Shi- I like her, and her character design. The complaints that it doesn't fit her might be legit though, seeing as I know nothing about her. However I think she's hot, like insanely hot. >.>

Lu Bu- My favorite design, he looks like a total badass now, and I absolutely love his new hair. To me in 3-5 he just looked kind of like a gorilla with a halberd and spray tan, now he actually looks like a total badass. His dw6 design also screamed too big in terms of mass, now he appears well cut, fit, muscular.

From me using the word badass twice, you can tell he's easily my new favorite design for a male.

Ma Chao- May be a tad late for him, but he's my favorite character. I'm glad they brought back the armor, I hated his anime hair, I mean it looks good with some characters, it just wasn't Ma Chao.

SSX- I love her new look, I hated her tomboyish look. Now she's one of the most attractive females in the game. :)

Hopes

Cao Pi- Definitely DEFINITELY keep him similar to his DW6 design. His DW6 design had the best haircut to be in a DW game yet, and his clothes were pretty cool too. I loathed his hair from 5, it made him look like a stereotypical aristocratic pansy who wanted crumpets. Plus his clothes looked like peasant clothes, which totally didn't fit his montra at all. Don't know which weapon I would prefer though, both 5 and 6 (PS2 version) weapons were cool. Though maybe dual swords would be better because of uniqueness.

Diao Chan- Similar to DW6 please, I want the hot Diao Chan back. :)
