Yeah the DLC will take time... most of the DLC they have released has featured stages - as such those need to be translated into english before release and ideally tested too because i dare say those who are dedicated to the western version of the game will be busy with working on the patch first and foremost.

Still gotta ask has everyone truly done everything they need to do in the game already that they need DLC to expand the experience... im nowhere near bored with it yet though in fairness ive been working a lot of long hours lately so ive not had time to just sit and burn myself out with the game yet.

It's also unique in that it's the only weapon capable of landing itself from mid air.
Doesn't Zhou Tai's Curved Sword air charge force a quick landing? Or did that change in DW8?
The thing is those are attacks.

The twin fans unique in that in that instead of having an air dash, it just drops the user back to the ground immediately. Faster and without as much recovery.

Yeah majority of DW2 costumes were kept for DW3 so there's probably only about 3/4 people who would even be in a DW2 costume pack.

Which sucks because Diaochan's DW2 costume was one of her best.

^That's a good point actually, they could go down the route they have done with the DW1 costumes. They could make a DW2 pack for only characters who looked very different in it.

I don't see anything wrong with including the designs which are similar to DW3, I just don't see a need for it. Especially if some people see it and think "these costumes are very similar and I payed more money for them". That said, with HD PS3 graphics maybe they could shake up the textures on the characters clothes or change their hairstyles slightly to differentiate their 2 and 3 designs more, but still they'd look similar.

I completely agree with this Zhang Liao's DW3 costume in DW3 was meh, but in HD in DW7 it was best combination of colour and style I have ever feasted my pin hole pupils on.

I wish the range of shading with the colour schemes would branch out a bit more, DW8 is a tad better than blandstoise DW7 but it is nothing compared to DW3/6.

I loved his DW6 design :lol: But yeah he does need his hat back, it was his trademark earlier on.

@SDMARZ - I think in 7 (and 8 to a lesser extent) the colours on the costumes are too bold. In 6 it was subtle and everyone looked great :)

I mean in terms off different shades of each colour, everyone in Wei was pretty much the same colour blue in 7, pretty much the same with Shu, but in 6 you had an array of different shades and colours, Huang Zhong and Pang Tongs dusty green/browns. Lu Meng's orange and Xiao Qiao's pink for just a few examples.

Actually yeah, I've never noticed that before. Wu especially in 7, it was like the same shade of red on EVERYONE (except Xiaoqiao of course). As I've said before though I really think the DW7 designs were horrible. Zhenji, what was the person who designed that smoking? :lol: It's not hard to see why they included DW7 designs as unlockables instead of DLC in 8, I bet they wouldn't sell.

I agree in 7, with a few exceptions, everyone had like a weird kingdom uniform. Fun for team spirit, but it lacks individualism. In 8, everyone has shades of kingdom colors, but each had a unique pattern that makes everyone stand out.

I really loved how diverse 6 was when It came to character design, but then in defence to the current game there are a fair few costumes I would deem my favourite for that character. Sun Quan/Jian, Jiang Wei, Xing Cai, Xu Zhu especially in fact, this is the only game where I have actually used him since his costume is so good. Even Sima Zhao has had a massive improvement. I just hope they stick to this motif for the next game.

Its also the case with the stages themselves too. I felt 7 was all dull and boring but they have really lighted up the place a bit with 8.

I still wish Yi Ling was during the night though.

I'm hoping for some new stages as DLC. Just as large and fresh as all the DW8 stages. Retro stages are good and all but they simply don't compare for the most part. I just want to see stages that take a while to complete and are somewhat dynamic.

Diaochan and Sun Shangxiang's DW2 costumes are just fabulous.

I love how SSX's DW2 design is feminine and beautiful like her DW6~DW8 designs, but still clearly tomboyish like her her DW3~DW5 designs. It also has a bit of green in it already, so it would make a perfect costume for Wu and Shu forces, for when she joins Liu Bei.

Diaochan's DW2 design is just ... perfect, the ribbons, bows, the skirt, the colors, the hair ... I just ... So Much Perfect!

Nope unless there is a DLC stage which provides that but to the best of my knowledge there isnt an all inclusive battle like that one in DW7 anywhere in DW8.

The greaves have grown on me for Guan Suo. I still think that the Dao, Iron Fan, Screw Crossbow and Blade Bow will be exclusive for CAW in Empires but the greaves I'm unsure about atm. I don't know now whether Suo will get them but I'm certain Quan and Xiaoqiao will change for the obvious.

The greaves kind of suit Suo I think, no where near as much as the Nunchaku though which strongly works for his character.

^God I hope so. The twin fans are heaven.

I can see the greaves going to Suo, purely because hes a fanservice character and the fans wanted him to have a weapon like that

The only problem will be who's getting nunchaku? If they are going to reassign Ling Tong, then the three-way staff might be the problem. This is going to be difficult. It will be strange if Chen Gong or Cheng Pu gets it...

leave it as a free weapon, or tweak it and give to someone new in DW9 or remove it...I mean, its not that great a weapon imo

It might not be a great weapon by its self but i had one with the speed skill and one of the thunders (Don`t have the game on to put the names) and it was a beast, they weren't even at max i dread to think how deadly they would be i was slapping things so fast and then sending waves of thunder to kill those out of my range, i think if they were to give Suo the greaves as others have said they would have to be shrunk a little bit, i think they would suit a new char more then him i dunno to me at least they just don`t look like his kind of weapon.
