I'm thinking they will. I think Koei is aware of the varying opinions of their fans, and will look to try and please as many as they can. I don't really have any worries on what they will choose. I'm sure it will be quite good.

I'm more for the realistic weapons myself, when they added the rocket booster lance I was like... wth? But at least Xiahou Ba is decloned now. 5/11 were old weapons in the DLC weapons (Mace, buckler blade,dagger-axe,boomerang,giant axe... not saying there will be that many if they do more weapon packs). If they did bring back these old weapon sets would people be ok with them going to new characters? And if you had to pick 5 weapons to bring back what would they be?

Daggers
Wrecking Ball(Dian Wei's)
Blade Bow
Wushu Sword(Lu Xun's)
Cross Halberds

And I wouldn't mind if they made their way to a new owner. They were good weapons then and I'm sure the charge system could make them even better.

I personally think they will bring more DLC with this game, not sure why but just a thought I have. Weapons to me were the best thing they brought as DLC, just because the characters have all been decloned doesn't mean they won't bring new weapons. I don't mind if the weapons weren't from the era, just aslong as they're realistic I guess.

The only thing that could top my love of DLC weapons would be DLC mini stories for the others. But that wouldn't be needed aslong as we can play as the "enemy" from story mode in free mode.

Mine would be:
Wrecking ball
Dual Daggers
Ancient Sword
Twin Fans
Cross Halberds

Many stories for the others sounds like a great idea, but the seems like something they would do for xtreme legends

I would be interest if they add these weapons: Stirder Hiryu's weapon, Rope Date and Twin Swords (one with reverse grip).

Yeah that's a good point, but they might focus on the new characters in XL rather then our old Other characters, no matter how over looked they're. But they could still use DLC to support them in XL.

Bringing back old weapons is pretty much what everyone has, in my opinion Dw6 brought in some of the best weapons of the series, although the movesets weren't great the ideas certainly were. I'm all for all old weapons making a return, just aslong as they keep bringing new weapons too!

New weapons are needed, they can't not add them if they have weapon DLC, they keep things fresh and add more variety. I wish I could go to one of their board meetings where they talk about new weapons and see how they come up with some. I know people like off the wall weapons but if we start seeing guns and lightsabers, that might be too much for me

Yeah I don't really want guns in this either. I'll give Guo Huai a pass... I want a mixture of both. I think they can find middle ground between the two that would be a win/win. I think they are doing fine. I mean... They could have gave Sima Zhao a shotgun though. :whistle: I joke of course..

With all characters de-cloned I wonder if DLC weapons will be in this game? I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't and I wouldn't be surprised if there is, whatever. Maybe just a few (like 3 or 4).

I think DLC will mainly be outfits, wallpapers and extra what-if battles ;) .

Did you happen to see the pic of the DLC option in the weapon shop? I wont say that confirms it... But definitely raises the chance.

Ah, no I didn't. I wonder what the point will be if everybody is unique, weapons for the Xtreme Legends and Empires characters perhaps, like what they did for Han Dang only a bit more planned. The only ones I'd particularly like to see are Dian Wei's flail from DW6, Xiaoqiao's twin fans of course, and twin daggers hopefully for Chen Gong one day :sly: .

Haha.. I hope he gets em! I guess they'd be there to add to replay value at some point. I think they should give the game a good 2-3 months after release before they start releasing dlc weapons, to give everybody time to use what we have already.

Definitely, that way fans can try the weapons in the base game first and have enough time to formulate a proper decision before giving feedback. After all, some of the weapons when used in DW8 may not actually suit the character... wether Koei would change them later for Empires though is a different story (I'm looking at you Xiaoqiao <_< ).

DLC Weapons is one thing, but once the dlc weapons "might" becomes characters' ex weapon, it will be bit of problem. Let's say that there are twin fans coming as dlc, that means that in the future Xiao Qiao might get the weapon, but the iron might head to either different character or new character. That's one thing to worry, but might as well wait in the future.

Hence why I wish the Dao, Spear and Iron Fan were unique to generics in Empires not only giving them reason to be played in Empires itself but to improve the quality of PC's as well.

That way Sun Quan could be improved, Xiaoqiao will get her Twin Fans and Ma Chao would become the spear user he's meant to be with his iconic flips and stances. If Koei finally understood 'wind' is essential to Pang Tong surely they know technique is important to Ma Chao. In fact they do as they did it in WO3. I hate to use this word but they're just being lazy, I'm also gonna have a hard time associating the chain and sickle to Jia Xu when he still uses it like Gan Ning instead of his own like in WO3 (yes Gan Ning is officially de-cloned but still, it suits Gan Ning more at the moment it's like he has two Ex weapons).

This, it would be so awesome to get new scenarios/battles. I could also see adding a new character that wasn't too important to the story mode, but they've already said they won't do this iirc. My other thought was that they could just release XL as both a digital copy and a hard copy for both groups of fans.

As for right now, it's fine and forgivable for dealing that main problem. I don't mind seeing Gan Ning with Flail, but the next challenge is adding dlc weapons that can be useful or not. We don't know for sure, but if they do that, I hope Koei listen to the fans around the world.

Ding ding ding.... Please somebody tell em what he's won! :popcorn: Lmao... In all seriousness completely agree. Some of the weapons will feel like sloppy seconds with no minor changes. My opinion though, and I understand others may not get that. Before anyone gets started... Lets just agree to disagree.

:popcorn:

We talked about that early where they would bring back older weapons so that the dao,spear,fan could be unique to genrics..at least we got some people on the same page lol. They could always bring back Guan Ping's zanpakuto and make the greatsword generic too if they wanted. They could give Sun Quan the Wushu Blade, or the Ancient sword but I donno if ppl would be happy about that lol

:goodpost: for Dao, Spear, Great Sword and Fan.

Sun Quan should get a sword because its strange that the sword got transform to Dao.

As for the Dagger though, I think we need to work on it for a bit.

Good idea about the Wushu/Ancient Sword with Quan. I could see him using those... He needs that skin for the Dao he had in WO3! I gotta feeling when Lu Kang comes he will have that Wushu Sword though. I may be wrong. lol... We will see, but if they give it to Quan?

I would say the ancient sword fits Quan better then the wushu sword. When i think of the wushu sword, I picture someone who has speed and uses quick attacks, I dunno if thats really Quan's style. I think where Lu Xun and Lu Kang differ is that Lu Xun was known for being more of an advisor where as Lu Kang was known for being more of a general. I donno how they will make Lu Kang appear since his dad is soo young looking, but if hes small like his dad then yes Wushu sword lol.

About Dian Wei's wrecking ball, yeah i know they call it a "flail" and Gan Ning already has it but these two weapons are definitly different..... all they have to do is change the name. People act like they dont have different versions of spears and swords, last time i checked they do so theres no reason why they cant have two different types of flails aka wrecking ball

I agree.. I mean you have a Dragon Spear, a Spear, and now a Javelin/Hit Spear... I mean look at Lu Xun and Liu Bei.. Same story really. May as well throw Cao Pi in with em as he retained his musous. That may stretch it a bit... But I definitely don't get how some people don't get that.

lol well at least some of us get the picture. I'd like to see who they would give the wrecking ball to if they didnt decide to give to Xu Zhu to make the club generic, but who knows.

As for the side stories, they could make a little version of kingdom mode for Lu Bu and you could play as him Zhang Liao, or Diao Chan (this would have worked better if they added Chen Gong or Gao Shun), or just a musou mode for all the "other" characters.
