Well, comparing which weapon that suits Yue Ying, the Dagger Axe is the best and there none that can replace the work. But still the new weapon or "old school" weapon its going to be part for new characters in my opinion.

Missed a lot of stuff it seems.

Bladebow and Twin Fans back? I honestly would've been completely fine without them. I am a proud advocate of Yueying using the dagger-axe, and I hope she keeps it. And for Xiaoqiao, the Iron Fan has improved... a lot, plus it was tailored for her by adding a charge from WO3 and making it faster.

However I do know that just because it is shown with them(or in the Twin Fans case, most likely going to be shown with them), it doesn't mean they are going to get them. (example: Dian Wei with the Short Pike. Yes. That happened.) Honestly I wouldn't mind having weapons without owners, and the being cloned with generics is silly.

If People Saying that Blade BOw is for New Character I dont think it would happen I know the short pike is for new character but they brough and gave it to DW8 Han Dang amd Dw7E Hua Xiong
But I doubt that the DW6 Weapon will go to New Character or atleast one

But I am not sure That people did suggest the Mace DW7,BladeBow at all So i think that would happen
But I also not sure weather fans did really want the Axe Back maybe it wasnt even asked or suggested by fans but Koei just want weapon that are not really fond by fans or user will be changed and Has a diffrent Officer

Any weapon is a good weapon, old or new one. Koei can keep the DLC's as long as they want, the new weapons have more interesting moves & in someway they're trying to improve the game mechanics, and the DLC's are a good way to test it, and to make some money but that's another 5min. Lol

In response to what people were saying about Yueying's dagger-axe being "brutish" earlier.

Tbh that is exactly what I like about it. Yueying stands out to me because she is not always presented as the same archetypal female character that all of the others are. Maybe it is a little TOO brutish, but I do think it suits her just fine and I don't have a problem with it. I think some of the animations on the current dagger-axe (especially her EX move) suit her "taking pride in her skills" persona they've given her lately wonderfully.
I wouldn't mind if they gave her the bladed bow, as I like it too. I just think it would be a shame to toss away the current dagger axe which is already ok and fun to use imo.

The Bldebow fits Yue Ying fine, As it tell usShōkyō that she a lady that invent material and smart, While if she use a Dagger Axe it just seem like she a rough lady and is brutish. But If she used the blade bow its tell me that she Is a inventor and female who is gentle , In history She was said too be ugly but i think if she used the blade bow it shows me how Strong and not tomboy who just play with an Axe , Zhuge Liang using a Fan that is light while the wife carry something that is big and long

Tommorow Is the Reaveal of Two Fan!!! I'm So excited OwO

do be fair, shyoko has stated before that english is not her nativ language, and she uses google translate for everything, both when translating what she has to say, and when she is reading others comments.

so i think it would be more than fare to give her some slack, as im sure half the nonsense she says is from google translate screwing everything up.

But she is in many ways a tomboy, perhaps its the wrong word - nerd perhaps the better one for the occasion.

Whilst everyone was talking about the gentle nature and beauty of the likes of the Qiao sisters or graceful moves and divine sight that Diao Chan was she was noted as being an intellect and someone who was not noted for being particularly pretty.

She was introduced on DW as an inventor who was clad in armour and had a scythe... i deplore how she is gradually becoming something more similar to a glamour model in looks and a graceful weapon would just further detract her from being what i liked about her in the first place. DW6 ruined her for me as she went from bright inventive warriors to pretty girl with a bow who fawns over her husband at every opportunity and she seems to be struggling to shake that revamp off if you ask me... the return of the Dagger Axe was a start, as was the way she was depicted in the likes of WO3, here is hoping it continues even if Koei are obsessed with making her more and more feminine in appearance at every opportunity.

When Koei Debuted her/Yue Ying she was shown wearing Armor and Etc... BUt even though knowin
Her Blade BOw is back, I just want it on Yue Ying i dont mind it going on Lian Shi but i like how lianshi weapon is Strong,I know it is slow but atleast its strong.Unlike Xiao Qiao weapon in Dw7 its just a Nono to me and Da Qiao in DW7 too,Its just slow and you can get easily this can go to Yue YIng too :D. Yue Ying I wanted her having a blade bow i think its strong in DW6,Yue Ying a inventerits somehow related to Zhuge Liang. And its perfect with her using it, It light,and has bow and sword mixed. :D

Personally I wouldn't mind if somewhere down the road Taishi Ci gets a DLC weapon as his new EX weapon. It's time he retired the Twin Rods, they're not that good a weapon anymore when compared to the newer ones.

Or they could just make the rods better...seriously, there is no reason to scrap an entire moveset when you can just keep adding to it.

The main thing that bothers me about Yueying is the lack of story development rather than her appearance. Since she is there as "Zhuge Liang's wife" it is unfortunate that he will probably always be the focus of her story. But I think there is opportunity in that and I would love to see them turn the Zhuge/Yueying marriage into a real badass strategist couple who out-think everyone together. It would be better than just Yueying following him around as his little minion. She needs more direct involvement in the strategy.
Appearance wise I like both Yueying's, and as I said earlier I do think her DW8 design is a decent compromise of both. I would like a little more armor though, girls in armor don't necessarily have to be butch like Xing Cai, they could still make her reasonably feminine otherwise.

I wouldn't want Taishi to ditch the twin rods, they are his iconic weapon. Maybe they could update the moveset a little, I think that will eventually become necessary if the current one gets stale, but idk I feel like taking away the rods would be taking away a big part of his persona. Also, if koei keep changing everyone's weapons every 2 or 3 games, they are going to end up pushed for ideas. And that is when we start getting ridiculously comical weapons *coughcough*arm cannon*coughcough* coming in.

I agree... you get so many whinging needlessly about the older movesets and demand change but i actually prefer them. Some of the biggest moaned about were the likes of Lu Meng Pike, Sun Quan sword and Ma Chao spear. Thing is we are rapidly seeing a more and more absurd approach to movesets in that few of them are remaining grounded in reality.

Not that this means im excepting a realistic DW experience but whilst i can nod to the sight of seeing say the Hook Swords and Throwing Axes being revealed they are the exception to the rule as we get detachable wheel halberds, mechanic siege lances and arm blades which for some reason allow flight. Its gonna get to the stage where there is meant to be an emotional or intense fight scene where youve got one guy with an spear dueling against a guy with a rocket launcher... how does that work?

With benevolence, obviously :dance:

I like the ridiculous weapons, they add a flavor of fun to the whole thing. But that isn't to say normal spears and swords can't be fun, there are all kinds of different moves and moveset possibilities for another spear or another sword, I just think everyone has become jaded since the cloen issue o DW6 and 7 that seeing multiple of the same kind of weapon freaks them out "HOSNAP HE BE A CLONE!"

DW3 had like 4 people with a spear and they all had a unique moveset. So it is possible. Like 6 people with a sword, all had a unique movest (despite the first 3 moves in the s-string being the same, but they were all mostly unique).

That said, I am still holding out for those ridiculous symbols in DWO to come into DW...probably to a female character, cause LOL they can't fight with real weapons.

Also the pistols....
