Guan Suo > Good addition = ![]() I like his design. Yes, still a pretty boy, but he is perfect. ![]() I like the little flower on his head, it reminds me Keiji of Basara. The nunchaku suits him very well, because of his design.

I really hate Guan Suo. He looks feminine and childish. I guess they'll be a fitting couple at least... But I don't think I'm going to like them. Anyway, while Guan Suo is possibly one of the worst designs in the game, they've really improved Guan Ping. In the previous games, he sounded annoying, lacked personality and looked like a teenager. Now he at the very least looks a lot better, a bit more mature than before. Quite possibly one of my favorite re-designs so far. Xu Chu... More horrible than ever. That said, he was already pretty bad to begin with so not a big change, really. I don't like Sun Jian either but overall, he's not that bad. Oh. Forgot some. Zhang Fei is OK, nothing great but OK. I like Cao Pi's design, he seems to get better every time. I just wish they'd make him a bit more mature but in the end, he's already pretty good. And Guan Yu, he's pretty awesome. I didn't really like his DW6 design but this is definitely one of his best designs so far. Edited by Xiyng, Thu Feb 17, 2011 12:01 am.

Guan Suo was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting someone fugly like guan yu, but instead we got someone stylish and cute. He's a breath of fresh air when compared with all the uglies in DW. Zhang Fei looks...better...compared to previous styles but that's not saying alot. Sun Jian is a sexy beast, but I prefer his spikier DW6 hair. Also Guan Yu's hair is fugly again. I liked it short in DW. Don't care for Guan ping, so no opinion. And Cao Pi looks amazing! Perfect fit for the new Zhen! |

I would rather have 62 fugly Guan Yu's than one Xiahou Ba, Zhong Hui, or Zhang He. Just saying. >_> Guan Ping looks awesome compared to DW6. Guan Suo is another pretty boy getting tired of them. Guan Yu looks like someone in that time period should ![]() Sun Jian Looks good, just the white hair is retarded... Just proves how stupid Koei can be. Cao Pi is still awesome :3 Xu Chu ugh, just ugh. Zhang Fei Looks like a mixture of DW5/DW6 i like it. If im missing anyone then my bad, i stopped looking at it after Xu Chu appeared to be larger than before... |

Guan Suo? Breath of fresh air? Sorry I just couldn't disagree more. Let's see just how many cutesy and 'stylish' pretty boys we have in DW7:Zhong Hui Xiahou Ba Liu Shan Zhang He Lu Xun Borderline: Sima Zhao Jiang Wei Ma Dai Ling Tong Zhou Yu Do we really need one more? He's certainly nothing new, that's for sure. And it's ironic that you praise Sun Jian as a "sexy beast" when he is more like Guan Yu than Guan Suo. |

Sun Jian: I love love my manly man tiger daddy and his sexy, slick hair. The armor is great but haven't been too keen with the armbands though since they are hiding his masculine muscles. T.T Guan Ping: Thank god he has his spiky hair back. I am totally digging the outfit too. Hated that ugly fur muscle jacket he wore. Guan Yu: His design screams "God of War" just perfectly. Zhang Fei: A nice mix up of all his 4 through 6 designs into one. Guan Suo: Outfit is nice but hate the fact he is another pretty boy. It's really getting annoying. Cao Pi: I am so glad his hair is long again and retaining some of that old DW5-ness into his look. I love the outfit as well. Short hair Pi was boring. Xu Zhu: Um... ew lol? I will just stick to his DW6 design. The belly is a bit too much to tolerate. |

Guan Suo's appearance indicate his playful character and probably someone who prefer martial arts rather than the usage of weapons as a mean to protect (himself or his people). If I am not wrong, he's keen with nature hence the flower on top of his head. That sleeveless vest seems to be something a Chinese girl tend to wear throughout the times, but not a surprise if you can see it as a martial artist because they would wear that due to having less restrictions with arm movements. Maybe, his character would provoke responses from Guan Yu or Guan Ping in the game to remind him to take things more seriously. He might only do that when they got killed after the siege in Mai Castle. His looks and voice leans towards a feminine side, not a surprise as that's what KOEI wants... But hope he's not a wimp where he often moans in the game and act serious on the front. Cao Pi was disappointing in DW6, his appearance was like a prince, no criticism because he was treated like that in history. However, his behaviour was appalling as he acted like a spoilt brat and Sima Yi was upset in that game. In real history, Cao Pi respected Sima Yi and had a close relationship with him where the latter supported him to become the crown prince which would result him being the ruler of Wei after Cao Cao's reign. In DW7, he seems ambitious and meaner. His JP voice was spot on. I hope the Engish voice will be similar... Edited by YeBoNing, Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:53 pm.

Cao Pi - Really like how he's now a mix of DW5 and DW6, though the clothes will take getting used to (I think it's the colour scheme? idk). It is a cool design anyway and I think I'll grow to like it a lot - I approve! xD Xu Zhu: ...o_O;; No... I already wasn't really liking that 'basic' shade of blue, but that pales compared to.. his whole look. D: Maybe it's the angle of the CG art or something (she tries to convince herself) but this design is bad. ..Just... bad. Sorry, but it's almost a joke.. ![]() Sun Jian: Glad he kept the DW6 hair! ..Wish it was spikier though - not as fond of its unkept, 'just got out of bed' look. And is his face.. Slightly different somehow? ...But other than that, I think this design is great! For some reason I love the black part of his clothes around the chest area and the pastel-ish design on it - it looks very nice by itself, and also goes nicely with the rest of his clothes. xD;; ..But yeah, like I said, this design is great. ![]() Zhang Fei: Nice hairstyle, and overall a good look for him. Cute character on the belt too - that's part of his name in traditional Chinese, right?Guan Yu: Cool design.. Just don't like the white in it there. ..But other than that.. xD;Guan Suo: Um, okay... o_o I like the design of the outfit, just.. Well, yeah. o.o; Guan Ping: The hair is just a little bit too tousled for me, but Guan Ping does look really cool! Big improvement from DW6, and even DW5 imo!

Yes, it's the character for the surname "Zhang" =). It seems that Zhang Fei likes to show his surname on his clothes or accessories every now and then XD. By the way, Zhang Fei's designs never disappoint me. Very good this time too, even though I would have preferred another hairstyle or one of those cool fabric headdresses. Anyway, I think the spiky hair looks much better on him than Guan Yu. It didn't suit Guan Yu at all in my opinion, so I'm happy this time he got something different from DW6. Oh, speaking of hair, as I said in the main DW7 thread, I'm glad that Cao Pi got his DW5 hairstyle and Sun Jian is still without helmet and kept his DW6 white hair (papa Jian=<3). |

Well now i've seen CGs heres my opinion on the newly released characters Cao Pi - Its his best one yet although his face looks a bit younger and angrier than before. Xu Zhu - Not impressed but he's never very impressing anyway. Sun Jian - His best one yet I like the black in his outfit but his DW6 armour was better so that armour with this colour scheme would be perfect. Guan Suo - Looks like i expected although I would of preferred him a bit more muscular to fit in with the other Guans. The design of his outfit is nice though. Guan Ping - Its good he's gone back to his DW5 look but does his outfit have to look sooooo much like Guan Yu's outfit I mean the bottom half is practically the exact same. Guan Yu - Its ok I preferred his DW6 outfit better but whats with the crazy eyes in his CG. Zhang Fei - Its good but none of his have been spectacular in my opinion. |

Not really. Guan Ping is just a handsome young man. Similar to say Ma Chao. 'Pretty boy' is something that denotes a guy that is rather feminine in appearance. Neither Guan Ping or a Ma Chao can be termed as feminine. Guan Suo can. Hell if you put Guan Yu's beard on Guan Ping you'd see that they look exactly the same. Their facial structure is near identical, as in a real father and son, despite him being adopted. Edited by WhiteHorseRide, Sat Feb 19, 2011 12:03 am.

The more and more I look at the designs the more I'm starting to like Jiang Wei. If he didnt have such a horrible English VA/VD he would be truly awesome. Maybe he'll be a new favorite of mine

The thing with Xu Zhu is, He appeared to be a ''large'' man who fights like a tiger on the battlefield. But I don't think Fat is the same as Large. Anyways I'm getting tired too of those pretty boys, but I hope Guan Suo has a good personality. |

Cao Pi: Interesting change of style with the hair and the mean face. Not the most handsome man and not a fan of the hair but love the awesome costume, particularly the top half. Lovely range of colours and nice patterns. Xu Zhu: Never been one of the better looking characters, or a good character. Seems that isn't going to change. The costume isn't a bad one, bar the red patch on his chest but the face is not encouraging. Sun Jian: White hair still looks odd though at least the hairstyle is decent. Like the dragon on the breastplate in a nice, colourful and detailed armour/costume. Not a fan of the golden shoulderpads but otherwise, very nice costume. Zhang Fei: Face is ugly, hopefully when he doesn't scowl, it will seem far better but could use a better haircut and a better moustache. Clothing looks slightly dirty, slightly old and that is a good touch, making a decent contrast to other characters, looks nice enough and suits him. Guan Yu: Suits him. Again, impressive detail, a bit of red seems right, good beard but would have given sleeves to both arms rather then just one. Guan Ping: Are those sideburns? I like the costume, close enough to Guan Yu but with it's own little touches, including a rather nice blue breastplate and gloves. Not a fan of the hair or the bandanna, I hope it isn't a sign of his personality. Guan Suo: Every time I see him, I keep thinking he has a female chest. Well I can understand why BSN wears so little but really emphasises her gender. I like the flower in the hair and the costume is fine (bar the boots) in itself but the face/hair/clothes/flower combo looks rather odd. Edited by Dongzhou, Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:00 pm.

Why KOEI didn't make ALL Guan's Family to be a pretty boy of Shu ? It would be great to make different Guan Yu and his beautiful sons from other games or movies like Zhang He

Guan Suo reminds me of how Ryomou (Lu Meng) looked in the anime Sangokushi Koutetsu. Too bad he won't be nearly as hilarious, or adorable, or as interesting as his anime look a like. If he does, though... maybe it'll garner some interest, but for now, he hardly fits the role of a proud Guan. Guan Ping, on the other hand, has my 100% approval. Pretty boyish, yes, but at least he looks like he could pack a wallop with those manly fist of his. |

Haha, the only problem with that is the fact that Japanese and Chinese worship Guan Yu and had Koei turned him into a "Zhang He", they would probably see pitch forks and burning torches outside their company office in Tokyo or Beijing. lol. I can't imagine Guan Yu being a pretty boy. X_X Edited by Wu Fei, Tue Feb 22, 2011 5:51 am.

I don't know, I do find some attractiveness in manly men, at times. Strong, noble (when he's not being so damn insufferable), a man to fight for my honor. Or kill me should he think I'm sent to get between him and his brothers. But Guan Yu is an icon... you CAN'T change him too much, not without causing some kind of revolt. |

Guan Ping has the exact same features of Guan Yu. Same eyes. Same nose. Same lips. He's lighter skinned, but younger people usually are. |

And yet, HE'S the adopted one! It simply astounds me... Does Koei ever acknowledge this fact in the games? For the life of me I can't remember if it was ever brought up in DW5... |

Maybe the officer bios did? I don't remember him ever being mentioned as adopted in the game's own canon. |

Cute character on the belt too - that's part of his name in traditional Chinese, right?
