I do not think all the new characters of Shu and Jin have been unveiled. I think there are at least two more to show us. |

Zhong Hui looks really elegant, he's definitely on my list of favorites. I also really like the Guo Huai character design - but it doesn't match his weapon at all - good thing we can change it! I'd probably give him the flying swords, that would fit better with the whole design. |

Starting to grow on me a bit. I just can't stand Guo Huai yet. Who knows, maybe he'll be better in the game. |

I personally expected Zhong Hui's appearance to be something for Deng Ai, but that's personal taste ![]() So far I don't have real issues with appearances, save for Guo Huai's SW3 Kuroda Kanbei look-a-like style. But the beard makes him look that little bit more awesomer. |

To me, he looks too much like a nobleman and too little like a warrior. In the case of Ma Chao, it's not good. He should look like a fierce warrior he was. |

From the new designs Zhong Hui is my favourite, he's a pretty boy with great hair ![]() Ma Dai - he looks alright, can seem the resemblance to Ma Chao with the clothes. I really like his weapon but his appearance doesn't really stand out to me and I really can't stand that hat on his head. Deng Ai - I really don't like the way he looks, I can't find one thing I like about it ![]() Kanbei lookalike - sorry I can't spell his name, but it kind of sums it up, he looks like Kanbei, but I think Kanbei looks better, not a bad design though ... Sima Yi - I like everything about it but the hat, it's too big and kind of reminds of a traffic cone ... but the rest of it is great, the only other problem I have with it is that his sons look older than him or at least the same age ... to me at least ... Jiang Wei - looks the same but it's a great design

The problem with Sima Yi, since he has not aged and physically, he seems to have the same age as Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, he could be Sima Yan.

I am very pleased with the new looks and this time around looks like the characters are going to look equally good from the cutscenes, in game. I don't have an issue with anybody except for Ma Dai. He looks cool but, he looks funky. I guess we'll grow to like him. But Right now I would like to see characters I felt were kind of ruined in DW6. Characters such as: Wei Yan - though he looked awesome I hated his weapon. I missed his breakdancing double comet strike spear. I wonder how sick he'd look in 7. Sun Ce - I can't believe my favorite Sun turned out to be a loser. I wonder how he would look in 7 and would love to see his tonfas return. If he has bladed ones, it would be just as awesome. Xu Huang - I found him to be less fun and poorly remodeled. He did have his battle ax but it wasn't the same because he was just a clone of Lu Meng, Cao Ren, and Guan Ping. I'd love to see a more original and greater Xu Huang. And from the looks of the Opening, looks like he sports some chained weapon. Yuan Shao - I straight up disappointment, he looked like the second feminine character aside from the well known feminine character Zhang He. It was the worse remodeling from all Other forces. I didn't see no nobility with his design. I saw like he became best friends with Lady Gaga and tried out for a potential Music Video for her song Fashion. I hope he looks more serious and more of a nobleman in 7. I think it's about time we get CG artworks and screens of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and if he is returning Guan Ping. We should also get CG artworks and screens of Cao Ren and Xu Huang. They've been confirmed but we haven't seen them yet. And for Wu, Sun Quan is mentioned but nothing yet, in fact, the Wu forces has been lacking in exposure. Where are Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Shang Xiang, Huang Gai, Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao, Gan Ning and any new addition to the Wu Forces? Where is the psychotic religious punk Zhang Jiao? They said his level was the one exposed in the demonstrative demo of first gameplay. I am still kind of surprised how Lu Bu hasn't been mentioned neither confirmed and he is the ultimate villain before all the Kingdoms begin battling each other. |

Looking at these designs makes me wonder how many more European influenced looks are we going to get? Pang De will be one more to name most likely

No list of opinions is complete without mine. Let's start with Jin Sima Shi: Looks like your typical arrogant jerk character straight out of anime. Think of Seto Kaiba and every character that ever reminded you of him, and you'll know what I mean. Unlike many other anime tropes, some of which will be adressed later in this list, I kind of like the typical arrogant jerk. For starters he always has one of the best outfits, and this is no exception. I wish I owned a jacket like that. However, the one thing that bugs me about Sima Shi more than anything else is that I can't help but feel deja vu when looking at him. He's a new character but he looks so familiar I.... oh wait. I know. He's Cao Pi. Looks like there's probably going to be 2 Cao Pi's in this game. Alright. Fine, there's worse characters to have 2 of after all. Sima Zhao: Not much to say other than he reminds me of Yun-Seong from Soul Calibur. He's got kind of similar hair, appears to be a typical "boundless enthusiasm" kind of character, and he even wields a dao. Doesn't really stand out to me, but there's definitely nothing bad about him. A solid character design, even if I've seen it before. Wang Yuanji: Sima Zhao's positive attitude makes a lot of sense now. I'd be pretty happy too if I had a wife and she looked like this. The second blond girl of Dynasty Warriors, and she stole the first's historical weapons. She also seems to have a rather sinister look in her eye, which is never a bad thing for me. I like sinister. Zhuge Dan: Much like Wang, I detect something sinister in Zhuge Dan's eyes. The combination of that sinister look, the perfectly straight slicked back hair, and the absolutley perfect rigidity of his posture make me think that Dan the Man here won't be portrayed anywhere near as nobly as his famous cousin. And, yes, I will be referring to him as Dan the Man from here on. Sima Yi: Well that was good for a laugh. He looks plain silly with his pointed boots and wizard hat. Too bad. I usually like playing as him. Heck, he was my 2nd favorite Wei officer in DW4. Oh well, moving on. Deng Ai: This is a winner folks. This is the best character design I've seen from Koei in a while. He looks like Solid Snake and Jecht from FFX had a baby, and that baby grew up to be a professional wrestler. Just awesome. And his weapon? A drill spear? *Insert Gurren Laggan quotes here* Yup, this guy is manly as hell, and that's good because, when I saw the next two characters, this guy was the only thing that kept me from losing my faith in humanity. Zhong Hui: Call me superficial, but just looking at this character, I hate him with the intensity of 5000 exploding suns. Why? Fangirls. I will have to deal with all the fangirls praising how sexy this effeminate, emotionless, walking pile of anime tropes is for all of eternity. I just know that thera are hundreds of girls, many of them frequenters of this very site, out there writing terrible fanfiction about "him" and Jiang Wei as we speak. This is sheer pandering on Koei's part to the same kinds of people who support Justin Bieber's music career. It's not like this game series had a lack bishiies to begin with, but the last thing I ever wanted was for them to add one that was cranked up to 11. The worst thing about him is who he reminds me of. Near from Deathnote. Now, I probably wouldn't have liked Death Note if Near had never been in it, but I definitely wouldn't have hated it as much as I do. And this character has the exact same lack of charisma and superficial ticks (playing with the hair) to try and trick you into thinking he's "so deep" when he has no discernible personality whatsoever. Oh well. Perhaps I'm overreacting. I mean, at least he's not crossdressing.... Guo Huai: Oh. My. God. I don't care, what anyone says. That is not a robe. That is a dress. Look at Lu Meng or Kanbei. Robes don't hug the upper body like that. Usually you wear a shirt or something underneath the robe, too. I mean, he may be wearing pants under there (one can only hope), but he certainly isn't wearing a shirt with that thing. And the frown doesn't make him look evil. It makes him look like he's pouting. Like somebody called him a dude and now he's mad that he's not a convincing female. *Disclaimer - READ BEFORE RESPONDING -* These are all opinions and are stated as such. Many of these statements are highly exaggerated for comedic effect. If you have something of substance to say regarding my little list, feel free to share. But if you feel the need to flame me for some imagined offense against a character you like, I should warn you that I'm a very irregular poster and you'll only be annoying the other people in this thread and the mods. It's also just a video game and not worth the time and energy to get worked up about. |

I guess it's also a matter of personal taste. As far as I'm concerned, I don't like the general style of his clothes. Not only because they don't look much DW-ish to me, I wouldn't like them much in a different context either. What I like less is probably the upper part, especially that "short jacket" thing. All Ma Chao's previous designs were much better than that, for my tastes. |

I'd like to point something out to people who aren't happy with Guo Huai being "Kuroda V.2". This is DW7's Bao Sanniang: http://koeiwarriors.co.uk/artworks/dw7/cgartworks/baosanniang.jpg This is SW3's Kunoichi: http://koeiwarriors.co.uk/artworks/sw3/a-kunoichi.jpg They've made Sanniang's gloves and boots asymmetrical but that's it. Apart from the obvious colour changes these two are incredibly close in terms of design- right down to their scarves. They're even in almost identical poses Opinions are opinions, I know that and if you hated Kuroda's design to begin with then fair play.It just seems a tad unfair to slam Guo Huai for being a rip off when Bao Sanniang is equally culpable by similar standards (sorry if this has been pointed out before). Personally I like the designs. Guo Huai looks quite sad and miserable. I don't think I've seen a DW character who is perpetually depressed. Angry and intense, sure, but not actually dejected. Quite interesting, given all the "HONOUR! JUSTICE! GLORY! blahblahblah" that gets thrown around. I like Deng Ai. I like they've given him a physicality that Jiang Wei just doesn't have and I reckon these two will contrast sharply which is a good thing. It's a different kind of rivalry than Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang which I think will be refreshing. Zhong Hui I like the least. That doesn't mean I hate him, he's just a little bit bland. I agree he looks similar to Zhao Yun's DW6 design and I wasn't a huge fan of that either. I think it's the hair that puts me off...and the fact he's playing with it. Comes off as a bit of an airhead. I can see why some would like him but it's not for me. Flying Swords sound cool though. Bound to be some off the wall antics from them. Ma Dai is someone I've been wanting to see for ages and he looks really good. Looks a bit cocky but you'd need to be to fight hundreds of guys with a magic brush. Nice contrast between him and Ma Chao aswell, with Dai being more understated than the "splendid" one. Not entirely sold on the brush but it is unique and will have some quirkiness to it...just as long as he doesn't prattle on about his "Bristles of Justice!". I skipped Strikeforce so I'm quite happy about Jiang Wei's redesign. I always thought he looked like Zhao Yun on his day off (without all the armour). He's got a more distinct look now which is good and again because I missed SF I can't comment on the loss of his double edged spear, though it sounds good. Sima Yi's taken a lot of flak for his look. It's not the dark purple that contrasted so well against Zhuge Liang's white. I think that's my biggest problem with it, it's just too vibrant for the scheming mastermind. In previous instalments he's been in dark purples or washed out colours and now it's bright blue with...white? WHITE? The hat doesn't bother me that much. It's a bit big maybe (is it any bigger than his DW6 hat? not played it so I don't know) but it wouldn't half as garish if the blue wasn't so bright. It doesn't seem that bad to me if you imagine him in a colour scheme similar to his DW3-6 designs. All this being said, it's still not a bad design. It fits a ruler and all that. It's just different from what we've come to expect. I've rambled on for long enough now. |

I actually kinda like Zhong Hui. Normally I'm not so enthusiastic about the pretty boy look...but he has that "Screw you" look in his eyes. Sure, an egotistical prick has been done before, but for me, that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Guo, I can't take seriously. He doesn't look evil...or even sad...it looks more like a 'That guy just kicked my puppy!" king of pout. Edited by Mary Sue, Fri Dec 3, 2010 7:45 pm.
