The game comes out in 3 weeks in Japan! :O Well, all I know is that I am going to stay as far away from this website as possible when it releases, so as to distance myself from any kind of spoilers. I don't wanna ruin the game ruined for myself, or have others ruin it for me.

I am going to do the exact same as you and avoid these forums when the JP version of this game releases. I've had a few games spoiled (like MGS4) by having a random poster on a forum yell the ending, it just ruins so much......

Sooo koei just re-imagines Ling Tong for Shu....... except this particular character is fictional?! How and why?! Next they will make Guan Yu's fictional pet chimp a playable character! I would rather have more npc 'other' leaders in the mix so when you play 'those' maps they are vaguely interesting... Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng, Liu Yong.

I must say I am excited about mastering a couple of weapons and just spamming that same combo throughout the cast, I always hated using a character that has a lame moveset, now we can atleast change movesets across the board.... i.e. dian wei with dual halberds, giant sword!!! Would be awesome>!
Although I've come to that conclusion as well, I realised that Koei wants to add diversity within the weapon category. If every character had their own weapon icon, they would also have to have their own switch attack; which would add more time in their development. Though I do hope that the c-strings 3-5 are atleast differentiated because it's not fair to make every have the complete same weapon moveset considering how every character is going to use them.

I don't know how many 'what if' battles will be in the game but they should make a 'what if' musou mode for the other faction. Like the other musous it could be split into three chapters:

1. The Yellow Turbans kill all the big name Han generals like Cao Cao and Sun Jian and take over China. Then it's up to the generic generals who normally don't get much spotlight to defeat them. :)

2. Yuan Shao versus the Nanmans.

3. Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and Diao Chan. One of the levels could involve playing a level as Lu Bu for the first part, then he dies and Diao Chan starts kicking ass. :P


Also even though I'm hoping Zhou Yu and my other favourite Wu generals get shown in their PV, I'm hoping that the Wu battle theme rocks even more.

You have to remember that Koei's been making these games for a long time and I'm sure they wouldn't notice a single pose being similar to another character three years ago :hmmm: That's just rather a coincidence.
Nah I'm pretty sure it's intentional, look at Zhong Hui's armor and then Zhao Yun's from DW6.

wow, another nunchaku user. I find it hard to believe the are not 60+ different weapons to go along with the 60+ characters. What is the point of all these characters if they all play the same? Just seems lazy to me.
Then why don't you list the numbers of Chinese weapons and see if there are 60+?

They already have made some weird ones, e.g. huge writing pen and machine guns... lol

If its not sword then its spear
Why didn't you complain when Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei are both using spears?
Even though there are two nunchaku users, just like sword arts there are different styles of waving and fighting with it.

A Wei victory at Chi Bi is a pretty obvious one for a 'What if' scenario. They should have Guo Jia be alive in that scenario too.

But that only be if Guo Jia is a playable character.

The number of what ifs is endless. Guan Yu winning at Fan castle (really doubtful in the actual battle but still), Liu Bei winning at Yiling, Sun Ce attacking Xuchang etc.

But anyways, can't wait til march 22nd until that day I'll have DA 2 to entertain me.

Cao Pi really stole the spotlight for me I think, His look is like DW5 + DW6 = DW7 haha. He looks just how he should really, his clothes are more DW6 and his hair etc DW5.
Cao Pi's outfit to me seems like this: DW5 body portion of outfit (excluding the sleeves) and his hair + DW6 Pants and color scheme + DW7 sleeves of his top (To me the sleeves of his top seem distinctly DW7) = DW7

I think I have seen DW5 Cao Pi through DWO...and didn't really like that outfit design much...too much fabric hanging off his [over] sleeves (below what seems to be a tie for his over sleeves...if that's what they are) and his pants (above his boots). I liked the color scheme of that one as well, as much as the one from DW6 (I liked how they seemed to combine the two color schemes).

...and now that I think of it now that the flared sleeves (circa DW6) are gone his outfit now would actually look more complete with a cape.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing when they showed him, I love this design but WTH is the cape. It could have been a short white or long white one.
...or what about a Blue cape with some sort of pattern in white (like a white phoenix on his cape, a phoenix because that's Wei's guardian creature).
Yes,yes... silly me how could I neglect their main color like that. -_-

I just thought the white would match better with this costume, but what you suggested would also look good. Well hopefully we get the dw6 costumes like japan.

What if battles I have in mind are

Yellow Turbans
Character: Zhang Jiao
Fight against the Han for the name of justice and succeed. Though the army keeps losing, he doesn't give up in order for him to save his people.

Si Shui Gate
Character: Lu Bu
Lu Bu replaces Hua Zhung. Lu Bu uses one second to defeat Guan Yu, as Lu Bu drinks the wine, it is still warm :-p

Luo Yang
Character: Diao Chan / Zhen Ji / Zhang He
The battle of beauties. The King of Han has held a tournament to find the strongest and most beautiful lady of China.

Guan Du
Character: Guan Yu / Guan Ping / Guan Suo // Xiahou Dun // Xiahou Yuan // Xiahou Ba // Sun Ce / Sun Quan / Sun Jian
The battle of the family, which of the three side will be victorious?

Yi Ling
Character: Guan Yu / Zhang Fei
Liu Bei has been murdered by Zhang Fei's troops. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are now fighting Wu in Yi Ling to revenge Liu Bei's death.

Fan Castle
Character: Guan Suo / Xing Cai
Guan Yu and Guan Ping have been surrounded. Xing Cai and Guan Suo to reinforce.

Xing Cai rescue battle
Character: Liu Shan
Xing Cai has joined Jiang Wei's forces to fight Wei. However, she has been isolated. What will Liu Shan do to save his angel?

Yeah the ideas are endless

Well even if this is based on CHINESE history etc, doesn't mean they are going to use Chinese weapons, just look at some of the weapons, not to mention some characters don't even look Asian :)

There could be other possible weapons, or I at least hope they will make parts of each characters movesets unique (ex DW5, C string up to x4 was the same, then it's all different and unique.) + the charge attacks too, hope they aren't all the same. Even if some are, at least make SOME parts of the moveset different. That's all fine with me, but if not, w/e, still got some pretty epic weapons in there (tonfa, machine gun thing, DRILL SPEAR :), magic brush?, Lu Bu's awesome halberd, etc)

I want someone to be able to use hookswords..... like kabal in MK...... (Actually I'm still awaiting for his official confirmation in the new MK anyways lol)

Gan Ning would be the type of character that this weapon would suit perfectly IMO

But basically I just want everyone that is waiting to be revealed not to share a weapon with the rest of the cast......

God I cannot wait till the Wu PV already. :kurokan:

I think we should expect Ding Feng and Lian Shi mainly because they are completely new characters. And if there is Lian Shi, I would suspect Sun Quan and SSX. Maybe Da Qiao could be thrown in there since she's a huge fan favorite.
I personally want to see Zhou Tai for some reason. :mellow:

Sorry for this but is XIng Cai still named Xing Cai or has she become known as Zhang XIng Cai? In my opinion I hope it is the latter, i much prefer her name with the ZHang infront of it
She'll always just be "Xing Cai," unfortunately. Sun Shang Xiang, Wang Yuan Ji, and Zhu Rong seem to be the only women in the game that KOEI will refer to by their complete, "as far as we know this was it" names.

Heck, Zhen Ji isn't even called Zhen Ji in the Chinese versions of the game. There, she's Zhen Luo.
her actual name is Empress Zhang
...I know?

About Ling Tong and Guan Suo: yeah, it ticks me off that Guan Suo's using nunchucks. Actually, everything about Guan Suo ticks me off. Certain weapons should be off-limits for duplicates. Ling Tong's nunchucks, Sun Ce's tonfas, and Guo Huai's arbalest among them.

I hope so too...or in the next game they keep this hair and outfit and give him his cape back.

I am just not a fan of the sleeves of Cao Pi's DW6 outfit...combined with a long cape (a feet length cape). I just though it made him look kind of like a child looking at him from behind.

2.battle at guan du-yuan forces will beat cao cao
3.battle at xia pi-lu bu whipes out cao cao and lui bei forces
Any more obvious what if battles????
I don't think Lu Bu winning is a very good what if scenerio, just because unlike the others, it really couldn't have happened, and even if he did it wouldn't have changed much. Even if he beat Cao Cao, he'd still be less powerful than anyone around him (Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Quan)

The biggest what if scenerio would have been Chi Bi.

With nearly a million soldiers in Cao Cao's fleet against 60,000 in Zhou Yu's, the commander of the South Lands joined wits with Zhuge Liang, and by divine intervention or pure luck, the winds changed against the season and a fire attack destroyed Cao Cao's fleet and almost his entire force.

So let's say the winds don't change. If Huang Gai sets the fire attack in motion, the winds send the fires back to Zhou Yu's fleet and demolishes them. Even if he doesn't, the sheer might of Cao Cao's fleet would overcome the South Lands and once they land on the banks on the other side of the Chang Jiang, could Sun Quan really do anything to withstand him?

If Cao Cao took over the South, all that would have remained would be Ma Teng in Xiliang, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and Zhang Lu in Han Zhong. Considering Ma Teng would be assassinated and Ma Chao would take Chang An only to later fall at Tong Gate and lose the northwest to Cao Cao, would Cao Cao have been able to conquer the west?

Simple answer would be yes. Tougher question would be if he would have lived to see it all, considering he died at 220.

Another what if would be if Ma Chao wasn't so head strong and trusted Han Sui rather than falling for a simple ploy by Cao Cao. His forces were doing work on Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had to run and scatter and hide from Ma Chao, and even then, Ma Chao's spear almost found Cao Cao's flesh.

Without Ma Chao turning against Han Sui, they could have done much more.

Another would be: What if Liu Zhang trusted most his officers and not invited Liu Bei into Yizhou? There were a lost of officers who pleaded him not to trust Liu Bei, one who committed suicide as an ultimatum. If Liu Zhang didn't welcome Liu Bei, he most likely wouldn't have even tried to take Cheng Du, at least not while a scion of the imperial family ruled it. What would have happened if Liu Bei stayed in Jing, which he claimed was only borrowed from Sun Quan?
