Still using the DLC icon for weapons? sigh, they could of at least put some effort into it, dah. Wu outfits seem a lot more boring than those in Wei, good thing I dont take too much interest in the costume packs anymore. |

Well the costume packs for DW7 were acctually alright. The modern school outfits were okay, they didn't stick out too much. The fantasy ones I was not expecting. The ideas Koei had for that were a love hate thing. Wu's and Wei's were interesting actually now that i think about it. But the DW8 DLC ones i wasn't expecting either... There are some good costumes though

Since every character will be unique from the start, the wait for the DLC on the western front won't be so bad. I imagine we won't start seeing these weapons til September/October over here. |

Was there any new battles featured in this weeks DLC offering? As for the costumes... kinda like them to be honest, some are just wacky but if your gonna go DLC i would prefer they stand out personally - much rather run about with a Power Ranger esc Wei Yan than Cao Cao in a suit which was about as good as it got for some characters in DW7. Still Xiao Qiao the latest character to get an animal cosplay outfit as DLC... how many has that been now? I had no idea that niche was so popular in japan but between this and sheer number DOA5 Bunny/Cat outfits i guess it shows how little i know. |

Sure,but it's quite strage to play a Jin vs Wei stage with a Wu character to have an 5 stars weapon. So Let's see ... Seems the screw crossbow is an heavy weaponbut for who :p Yes check my latest video, it's about 5 stars DLC blaze sword ![]() Edited by PeJ, Thu May 9, 2013 11:39 am.

This might be a long shot, but looking at the heavy style of the screw crossbow and the green and gold colour scheme... Guan Ping prehaps? I know there's a big amount of support for his DW5 sword to return, but this looks like it could possibly suit him, and would help him stand out a little more. |

@PeJ: some guys said it's not fitting, but me not, it's the way that the sword hold, that makes the sword lost it Sun Quan-ness, but otherwise i dont feel much different from Sun Quan, about the acrobatic part, well...i think sun quan really needs it cause his father and siblings are rather acrobatic, so he really needs it too..besides like i said his spinning musou can be complemented with the acrobatic moveset, i think it still fits sun quan. Well..if you guys still didnt think it's fitting..i can totally give that to chen gong.. I forget the next batch part, im surprised at the screw crossbow...it's too much deng ai. Maybe it is a gatling gun. WU costume: Zhou Yu: butler Lu Xun: butler/bartender SSX: Bartender/waitress/Sommelier Gan ning: Car Repairer/Machinist (And his fully clothed, really not Gan Ning )Sun Jian: Construction worker Taishi Ci: British royal guard Lu meng: Valet HuanG Gai: Lifeguard ( no shirtless huang gai )Zhou tai : Mafia Ling tong: Car machinist Sun Ce: construction worker Sun Quan: Scuba diver Xiao Qiao : Maid cafe waitress Daqiao: Normal restaurant waitress Ding feng: Karaoke owner Lianshi: Traditional pearl hunter Lu Su: Butler Han Dang: Army ranger As for the SHu costume...i have a bad feeling it will be awkward and turns out to be boring like WU costume. so far wei has the best modern costume. Pang tong: Surgeon Jiang Wei( Zhao Yun?): Security guard(Nightstick detected) Guan Xing: Bellboy Xingcai: Golfer? Xu Shu: Ski player Ma Chao: Tokusatsu player(power ranger) Wei yan: Tokusatsu player( Kamen rider) Edited by Ryō Genken, Thu May 9, 2013 11:56 am.

Nice video mate. Can you explain the weapons flames mechanics... can you charge them for more damage or does it act like a traditional flame element weapon. Seems a bit fast for Sun Quan... would prefer it on another character and seeing your comments about other characters like Sun Jian and Zhuge Dan i guess i would prefer it on them indeed. Zhu Ran was on the poll... most well known for his flame attacks, perhaps there is clues there if we read between the lines. As for Screw Crossbow... its bit but that means nothing, could go to anyone and fit because like anything else you get used to new characters and their ex weapons if they are new and exclusive to them from the offset. I would personally be surprised if Jin does indeed get a new face via XL... |

I do not think these DLC weapons are going to anyone, at least until XL/Empires/DW9. I think those characters who share weapons with the generics are just going to keep those weapons. I see no reason why they shouldn't. |

All is explain there : http://koei.wikia.com/wiki/Dynasty_Warriors_8/DLC_Weapon_Movesets For my videos, don't worry, I used a "earth / red" blaze sword (fuse in forge with the 4 dots+3dors+3dots blaze sword) Weapon flame mechanic is simple : Run with your sword : flame is charging or do the C1 ( /\ or triangle) and you will get more flames on your sword. |

well as this kinda advanced bowgun, I see it on Jin character, two names only - Chen Tai and Xin Xinyang, I doubt any other Jin is considering now as possible addition, moreover 14 characters for Jin are more than enough. Judging by colour it also fits Shu character... |

It just doesn't make sense. But also, the DLC weapons just don't fit any of the characters who everyone wants to get new weapons. The Flame Sword is way too acrobatic for Sun Quan and that crossbow...who exactly would it fit? They won't give it to Guan Ping, cause then the Great Sword goes without an owner, and whether anyone thinks its a generic moveset or not, it is a unique moveset and someone needs to use it. Guan Ping drew that straw. I wouldn't expect them to be assigned to anyone till at least XL, but probably Empires or DW9, cause being that the DLC will be compatible with 8XL, it'd be kinda cheap to everyone who bought the weapons in vanilla that everyone else who didn't buy them gets those weapons for free come DW8XL. |

Dont flatter yourself, I dont mind whether they get weapons or not. I just dont want these DLC weapons to go to waste is all. Whether they're someones Ex or just a 'secondary weapon' Im not bothered, as long as they're in the game come 9 era. Thanks for bringing me into this, glad my name came to mind, Ill take it as a compliment.

Relax gentlemen. It's such a nice morning, let's not ruin it. Personally, I would much rather they get assigned to someone (new characters, no one in now) due to personal affliction... ![]() I'm one of those people who only use a character's EX weapon, and if these DLC weapon don't have EX owners, i'll never use them... ![]() So I do hope they don't just get tossed out, but I'm fairly sure they won't. I also wonder if Chen Gong will hit with the Wang Yi treatment and planned DLC will get cancelled just so he can get the weapon in 8X: |

You make it sound as if I was going to make an angry post, your initial post was about you knowing I'd reply to mr kamikaze, I replied to you, not him. Im not bothered what happens with these weapons, obviously I dont want them wasted but I wont lose sleep of it anyways. |

We're both relaxed tho. I mean the only person I've gotten pissed at is Fukusadan or whatever his name was in the SW4, and have learnt from that little mishap. @Averry, that is the beauty of perspective and interpretations. There's so many of them. --- It's weird how Quan just goes back to holding the sword in that backhand manner so quickly after doing a charge attack. I do not envy his wrists. |

They better not - not the DLC weapons nor the weapons already on the disc... thankfully Koei doesnt listen to the forums, last thing we need is weapons exclusive to generics just because generics sometimes have a Great Sword/Dao etc somehow irritates about four people around here. Im like you - the Ex weapon always remains on the character i play, the secondary weapon whatever gives me the notion at any given time. As for holding back DLC, potentially they could. The only reason we even knew they did it last time was because the announced her weapons as DLC then changed their mind... made it obvious as heck. I for one prefer they do this personally... having five other unique DLC weapons released only for Pang De to appear with a cloned moveset was a waste last time - certainly not least when he was decloned with one of those other five dlc weapons eventually anyway. As such i will assume we just get less DLC weapons in general. Maybe four in all instead of eleven... depends on demand i suppose. Sales of the series are already declining without giving people even less incentive to buy any expansion... the DW8XL already is looking like it could be the least essential purchase yet now everyone is decloned and kinda arguably featured in the story in some point or another. It will all go down to how much people are willing to pay just to have some more unique faces amongst the playable cast. |

I just had the thought that what if the Screw Crossbow is like a siege weapon and that it goes to someone within siege combat knowledge, like perhaps Hao Zhao or Man Chong perhaps who knows? Would be interesting to see it on these guys but knowing Koei they already have someone in mind to be the heir to the gun. Edited by eNeMeE, Thu May 9, 2013 12:53 pm.

Well its best that we make sure we understand what people are saying then, before we engage in conversation about these points, wouldnt you KaHi? (I didnt mean for it to sound as rude as it might) Im more interested now in what direction Koei will take, they havent stuck with the original '1 new weapon & 1 returning weapon' for their DLC ideas. I hope we have some sort of spear next, be nice to see where Koei is going with this and if there will be a pattern to the DLC weapons. Edited by Averryy, Thu May 9, 2013 12:59 pm.

And there was that gap in Conquest mode where the Trishula battle should've been....lord that drove my OCD mad! They could've scooted the Great Axe over and filled that gap. As for the flame blade, I don't think i've given my thoughts (cause I know you all love my thoughts!) it looks pretty fun, but it looks insanely difficult to control. It's acrobatic and pretty awesome. I initially thought that sword (before seeing the movest) would be neat for Cheng Pu, but seeing it in action it's totally non-Cheng Pu like. ![]() Also it isn't a whip at all...someone done lied to me. But I'll forgive it. ![]() Maybe someone like Zhu Ran would be good for it, and evidently he's pretty popular so I can see him being added pretty soon.
