Xing Cai had her short moment in DW5 opening so there no reason why Bao can't have hers.
1) Xing Cai is an historical character.
Not to involve semantics, but Xing Cai is fictional; she is merely based off of Zhang Fei's actual daughters, Empress Zhang and Empress Jing'ai. But I do see your point about her being historically based, so you make a fair argument.

Personally, I do not care for Bao at all. And it's not even her design I am bothered with, save for the huge, green eyelashes. It's her personality that I cannot stand. When I saw her do that little paw-paw gesture before her musou attack, I was just staring at the screen like, "You've got to be kidding me."

But, she's there not only for fanservice, but for comic relief; Shu seems to be the most highstrung out of all the factions, so it's a relief that Pang Tong is not the only one bringing a little color to Shu. Other than that, Bao is merely fan-service. I would have rather KOEI bringing in a more historical female, as well; but nevertheless, she provides another interesting weapon for the series, so I can at least tolerate her.

But this is not the first time that a fictional character has been featured in an opening, be it for the series in general, or for a particular kingdom... Look at Diao Chan; her history is smoke and mirrors, considering that as far as history's concerned, she is merely one of the most prestigious legends of China due to being one of the Four Beauties. And the only evidence of a woman coming in between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo was an unnamed maiden. She's been in quite a few of the series' openings, her most recent appearance in an opening being Dynasty Warriors 6.

Given, you can't really have Lu Bu without Diao Chan, but still.

I love Diao Chan to death, and would hate to have to bring her into this, but if you're going to complain about one, you might as well complain about all of them for any appearance they made that seems out-of-place for someone fictional. In the end, this is nothing unexpected, and it shouldn't be a shocker if Bao ended up in any of the historical battles, it was bound to happen. If it didn't happen now, it will happen in DW8 if she doesn't get cut by then.

There's not much we can do about any of it now, and the arguing back and forth is not going to help. DW blends history and fiction enough to not be another ROTK, and I appreciate that, since I found the ROTK series to be very blah. You have to make do with what you got; Bao's here to stay for now, might as well be a nice host while she's around.

sorry if this was already posted http://gdc.gamespot.com/video/6302218/
Argh, this is a disappointment. So, Jin's basically going to be the only kingdom that gets a happy ending? That's stupid. I play Dynasty Warriors fully expecting the force I'm playing as to at least have a chance of unifying the land, not for them to lose everything in the narration.

I understand that they want to tell Jin's story (dear lord I am getting sick of this focus on Jin), but can't they just stick with telling Jin's story in Jin's freaking story mode?

^^Diao Chan is in the novel. Which is why you won't find complaints aimed at her.

BS is nothing more than ancient fan-fiction. That's all.

Your post made me realize Bao had BS as name initials. That must be destiny.

What I find weird is that you see Xiahou Dun wielding Kirin Fang when he does his musou, even if you just started the game, seems a bit weird to spoil the ultimate weapon via your musou, eh?

(There is a gameplay with Xiahou Dun on Yellow Turbans, every time he uses his musou his kirin fang appears, instead of his starter sword D:)

I knew I was forgetting another detail. :facepalm:

Anyway, big thanks to anyone who has been providing us information since they've received their copy of the Japanese release of DW7; it's appreciated. :heart:

I thought it was pretty disappointing as well... I'm considering not using musous until I get the final weapon.

I forgot to ask...Was that really a fresh start or did he already gain his final weapon and just decided to equip someone else's Dao?

If its the former...it definitely spoils the weapon for you.

SHUT UP ABOUT BAO SANNIANG. THE OPENING IS DONE, DEAL WITH IT.

Yer... I didn't mean that as blunt as it came out, but that was kind of what I was thinking. A new female in Shu was bound to get a lot of attention from Koei, I can see both sides of the argument, but I don't think arguing over it is going to help. There is a Bao Sanniang topic on the character thread, and without looking like a complete hypocrite over my argument about Pang De the other day, I think we should all just cool it. It's clear some people vehemently hate her, while others like her. Let's wait and see what she's fully like in the game, and then form some more informed opinions then? Is that unreasonable?

Oh man, how good, that i haven't read all the last spoiler-pages.
Actually i try to read all pages, but from today on, i make an exception.

What i really want to see, are the artworks of the characters from the artbook.
I guess, there is no one, who has the Treasure Box already, huh?

Yup, new gameplay, saw it on youtube, his Xiahou Dun had like 300 of every stat, which is like starters, + he had one musou bar and his life bar was pretty small.

Oh...then that's pretty stupid.

Why can't he do the same musou with whatever dao skin he's using? Wouldn't that make much more sense?

Man to tell you the truth the movesets are so varied this time around that the clones might not be so bad afterall. I mean I wasn't even bored watching the Xiahou Dun gameplay.

Oh how kind of you. ^_^ Can you make a topic to post the scans when you start them? Seeing them threw this thread may be hectic in a few days.

Look at the bright side.

Bao Sanniang appeared to save, the failure, Liu Shan than in the next scene she was already running away without putting up a fight. Hence why it was just Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun chargeing Xiahou Dun.

Because she was going to leave the child on the floor?..

I'm more mad at the fact that Cheng Du is the last stage instead of Jian Ye now as I've stated. We don't get the interesting decline of Wu or how Yang Hu won the people on the border with his benevolence..
