Well I'd personally love to see some stages via DLC. Costumes are nice and all but they tend to be the one type of Dynasty Warriors DLC that I don't purchase, I just like to look at the m viewing purposes. The one exception to that would be the Strike Force costumes we got for WO3, those were worth the money!

I think Koei could find a way to implement some new stages for Commander Mode or some "what-if" stages through DLC. There are so many possibilities of "what-if" scenarios that I hope Koei can work something out in order to add on to that.

One of my DLC wishes was having more DLC costumes but it would be grand if they would include in the pack the facial expressions of the characters wearing the DLC costumes and even the old costumes from DW-DW7. Ive seen this done before in some RPG games with the cg expressions as well as the full body changes seen in the status screen of the character as you wear different costumes. I always wanted to see the old facial expressions as well from the other DW series but updated a bit to fit the current game.

Also I for one would like to see DLC costumes for generics to make them look different for once as well as the peons. So if I wanted a school theme, everyone would wear modern clothes and not just my characters. You can cuztomize the peons and the generics to look like corps or even make them wear uniforms or whatever theme you want. Looking at the new mode makes me feel that we might get some things to customize our land/kingdom/castle so it would be nice if we could edit the NPC's appearance in the game. ^_^

THIS!!
A great idea!! Having a school outfit but the peons are not one using the clothes??!If the peons uses it...it might be like the highschool battle! this one i want it! great idea!

But will koei do it??

Weapon DLC, i wanted it to be new and old one.
Like for example, DLC infos about new weapons come out:
First Week: Xiaoqiao's Twin Fans
Second Week: Sectioned sword(Sun Quan's supposed sword according to leak)
Third Week: Guan Ping's Zanbato
Fourth Week: Martial arts(For guan suo)
Fifth Week: Gan Ning's dual dagger
So like give an alternating new and old weapon that is released each week

Of course i would like a characters DLC too.But with current weapon system, i think koei will be lazy and put it on hold until DW8XL

^^I like this idea, I donno if they would do one weapon at a time but it would be a way to keep things fresh. I also like Guan Yinpings idea where everyone can where the same theme costumes...good ideas :2up:

Good ideas from Yinping and ZZG... If they release them one at a time like that though.. I hope they give an option to buy them in bulk. Or just release them as weapon packs, with at least 3-5 weapons per pack..

As for the idea from Yinping, the option to edit the peons would solve some issues.. You would be able to alter the generics as you see fit, and give them unique looks to stand out from each other.

As for both, here's hoping Koei considers something along these lines on their own.

DLC Weapon is good idea, but the problem that I'm facing is that by time the new character is assign, what will make the dlc weapon do? Is it either becoming the new ex weapon for certain character or have character's weapon switch around like last time. (hint* Cao Ren's Flail to Gan Ning).

Anyway, I'm willing to give an idea about the dlc weapon:
One will be using the weapon from Strikeforce weapon like the tri-blade
Two will be Xing Cai's old weapon: Fork and Shield (Rather call it pike though)
Three will be new weapon like sliding sword, or sword and spear.

I just wanted to more one thing: Customizing colors like Samurai Warriors 3. It look very interesting and people can color the costume as much as they want.

I think DLC weapons would just be later assigned to a character who joins the roster further down the line. However, I wouldnt like it if koei thought of the character, then a moveset that would fit them and release the weapon as DLC with the intention to give it to that same character when the eventually join.

Koei just need to think of different weapons, some basic and some flashy and give them to us, makes things different is all.

I think that a lot of the time, people want Koei to bring old weapons as DLC, so why don't they take old weapons, like Gan Ning's daggers, and release them. Then, when DW8XL comes around, if they include new characters, like Yu Jin and do what they did with Han Dang and Zhang Chunhua. It would take off alot of hard work having to come up with new weapons

To be quite honest with you, even though they have brough back the wire claws from DW6 to be used in DW8, that is still just has hard as making new weapons.

The game engine, graphics etc were all different in DW6 and really out dated to what we have now, Koei would have basically had to make them from scratch anyways. Its just that they have the basic idea of the weapon already done for them.

Yeah but having the idea of the weapon and knowing how the weapon would work is half the job done right there. Gan Nings Daggers, Qiao's double fans, Xing Cai's fork they could get these out a lot faster then making new ones regardless of the system. TBH I know a lot of people like the old weapons like myself, but I'm ready for some new ones and I agree with Averryy though when they do add weapons, I'd like to see them go to new characters. The old weapons dont really fit into this besides Gan Nings daggers? But one thing about Koei adding new weapons is that you never know what your going to get ex(rocket lance, rake, ship-arm blade) lol

@Averry: Dont forget about Pang De's case, he got Xiahou Dun's old mace, and Han Dang's short pike. So it's like if Xiaoqiao's twin fans is for Xiaoqiao in XL, when it's released the iron fan can either be gone or given to like Yuan Shu or new female charas? Or maybe the Wushu sword from Lu Xun was given to Cheng Pu?

Speaking of Cheng Pu, when i see what-if illustration of him, he could wield a sword with a combination of the moveset from Zhou Yu's sword and Lu Xun's wushu sword, i want to see that...

@Averryy was starting to think you didn't like coming to chat with us anymore lol...

@Lu Tzu I agree shouldn't take long to crank those out since they already have something to go off of. Alter a few attacks, here and there etc etc. Also agree about how you never know what you're going to get outta Koei and weapon choice. As long as it equals up to fun I'm game..

@ZeeZeeGoo I think some weapon reorganization is going to happen to a few characters along the way. I won't say who at the moment. Let's just say I wouldn't be surprised one bit when they do.

@phantom pulse I like most of your choices there... Twin Spears especially. Wanted them for Ma Chao, but as long as someone gets them... I'm fine, and if no one gets them.. Then yes DLC please!!!

Haha I just didn't know what to talk about for the last few pages! Lol

I'm all for old weapons being given to current characters, but I just don't think it'll be koei's priority now, all characters are decloned and technically don't need a new weapon do they? Of course they could give the current characters new weapons, but it's not needed. I would prefer koei bring out an array of new and old weapons, if they can't fit a new weapon for a new character then it can go to an old character.

Yeah apparently it's the fact that they already not clones anymore that this game seems unlikely to have a weapons dlc..BUt i still want it...
have you looked at the characters gameplay moveset..?!Guan SUo anyone?! He didnt use his nunchucks at all in his aerial musou,HUang gai use his boat, his awakening musou i know he did, but even then its mostly kicking...i really hope there's an announcement of a dlc next week.I do really hope that koei actually already have Guan Suo to use weaponless martial arts moveset in mind. But it's just the fact that majority likes ling tong's sansetsukon.

I think it's more..i dont know about it..but i have a feeling koei might lurk this website.Since koei already give more nostalgia weapon such as sansetsukon, and wire claws, for DW8. I hope they also listen to the fact that we wants Xiaoqiao's twin fans. Majority wants it.
And if it doesnt fits to a character...it can be given to a new one. Look at how flail gone to gan ning!Look at how the twin daggers(as sai)fits Wang Yi!Look at how Pang De using Dun's mace.

I'm actually wondering what this DLC menu at the weapon shop stands for.
DLC skins that you have to download but buy in game ? Nonsense...
I don't think so.

It really does look like there are making new movesets.
Hmm...I think they won't give DLC information before end of February...
Can't wait to know more about it.
Hopefully weapons will come with new characters.

I don't want Koei to release DW9 and say :
"Well, we will give you a lot more new characters, but no new movesets, since you already got those as DLC in DW8"

@Averryy Yeah at ths point we're scrapping the barrel to keep it alive. The info BK gave helps a bit for commander mode though. DLC weapons are a matter of perspective really. Koei said they will "try" to declone everyone, and in their merit... They have.. I just have a feeling there was more to it. What I mean? I'll keep quiet on. It's been a touchy subject and of course I could be wrong.

@garnix Good eye.. I never noticed that. Was it a pic or a part of BK's info? I'll have to dig, but I definitely think that's a hint.

@ZZG I think they will consider dlc weapons and it's possible they will include them. Not really worried.. They are money makers, so I'm sure Koei could use all the money they can get.

Overall I'm really impressed with the way things are shaping up, and I think we are in store for a lot of extra content down the line.

DLC weapons seem to be gotten independently in weapon shop
Troops are dispatched to regions, so a higher rank would allow them to be dispatched to more regions with different growth rates and reward tendencies
Animals have favorite foods as well as hated foods, so be careful when choosing the food type to feed them


This makes me smile :D ... Thanx garnix! Maybe the option being there is just giving the player the option to purchase the DLC from psn at the store, without having to back out of the game. This lets me know they are coming.

On a side note.. I am extremely happy for the Monster Hunter-esque features being added it. You can now eat to gain buffs, train, farm, feed animals etc etc.. That on top of the new PV, along with everything else in this game = "Infinite Deepening"

Well, not really.
Maybe there will be DLC characters, but if you want to buy new weapons for them you will have to go to the special menu.
It's actually weird.

Yes DLC weapons thats great, cant wait to see what they come up with. I hope to see some DLC weapons in the few months after the game is released!

Also I hope these DLC weapons have their own icons, not the sword with DLC over it. That just looked really boring and tacky to me...

Heres to some more dual wiled weapons!

I must have missed the info last night due to being sleepy. I stayed up late because I was off today playing wkc2 and waiting for the site to update. My eyes were literally failing me. lol I'm sure ZZG will be happy with this. Or already is, don't know if he noticed or not. Hope we get some good stuff... Characters may come still, I believe. Maybe or maybe not.. This maybe the way they add in "other characters." We shall see...

Don't forget about the magic weapon. xD
Jokes aside, its good that we get something new weapons or heck bringing old weapons. I'm sure that they might do like around at least four to five weapons total, or their choice. Once The new characters kicks in they take the dlc weapons, unless they get new weapon and have the characters to switch weapon around.
