when can we expect the mammoth dlc for NA? like what week of release did japan get it for theirs?
Guan Yu's Thousand Li Journey was the second stage DLC for Japan. Assuming they release in the same order as JP it should be the next stage DLC after Bowanpo comes out. - Probably the middle/end of next month.
Do you know in which order the ROTK and DW5/6 costumes got released? Those are the most DLC's I'm looking forward to buy (again .-.) really. :P
Well, RoTK costumes were lreleased last week in Japan, so I guess we will have to wait some time for them to be released here :D
As in the ROTK outfits for SSX and Zhao Yun? I downloaded them last week on PSN. They were up alongside all the Dynasty Warriors 1 efforts

The ROTK costumes were a week one DLC in Japan and a promotion. I heard somewhere they were a preorder promotion for gamespot in the states so I'm not sure if those are going to be sold normally or not.

The DW6/5 costumes came out pretty fast, I think around the third or fourth stage DLC came out which was around when those real life job outfits came out too.

Chin supposedly said their aim is two DLC batches a month. My guess is the DW6/5 costumes will probably be next month or september at the latest.
The ROTK costumes were always preorder DLC, for Japan and the west.

Apparently the DLC is only being released in the UK, the US isn't getting any DLC this week.

Why is that? First the US doesn't get the free costumes (yes, I know that was probably a mistake) and now they have to wait for the first DLC batch? I guess they did get the game first to be fair.

Speaking of costumes, I DO love the DW7 outfits (For some odd reason i use them more than the 8 costumes) Im glad they're on disk but i do switch to the DW8 ones from time to time :)

^Tbh DW7 costumes seem very unpopular, so I'm not surprised they're on the disk already rather than Koei making a DLC pack out of them. It's all down to personal preference but I would never pay money for 7 designs, like ever haha
I'm still wondering if DW3-6 costume packs will be free though, since the vibe I'm getting is that western fans as a whole won't pay again. I know I won't.

What do you mean the US didn't get the free costumes? If your referring to the pre-order costumes I have mine and I use 'em all the time.

he's referring to the mistake the UK store made, accidentally putting those pre-order costumes up for free, so a lot of people ended up getting them for free despite not pre-ordering.

The US got no such mistake.

I mean....it is only fair... :hehe:

Doubt they will be free as much as I would love them to be. Both WO3 and DW7 DLC costumes were 80M$ points each. At least they aren't that expensive, but still. ><

Some are the DW7 costumes are alright, one of my favs is Sun Quan's, but others like Zhou Tais are hideous >_>

Well, the new JP DLC has been released in the JP store for those curious. Though it's not too exciting this week except for me!

The Bowangpo battle is on the Eu store now not sure about US

I got it, and it's ok
The battles which appeared in DW4 (so Liu Bei and Cao Cao's sides) appear quite short, although maybe it is just compared to the really long DW8 battles.
To make up for it though, there is a really cool hypothetical-y battle with it too. It's Shu forces but I won't reveal anything else. It is much longer.
Oh yeah, and this stage doesn't have the cloning issue with the same character you are playing as randomly appearing as a double :) Good to see that has been fixed for the DLC stages.

^Hopefully they'll fix that in the vanilla game too...man this game needs some serious patching.

I wonder how long the DLC will go on for though

anyone else annoyed that the european store gets bowanpo and the bgm 1 pack and the us didnt? the store updates tuesday so what the hell? im pretty sure it has nothing to do internationally, i think it might be the incompetence and lack of caring koei us shows to their fans. its so crap i mean if it were the other way and we got it tuesday, everyone else would have to wait a day no problem, like this we have to wait 6 days to play instead.

Chin is european community manager... hail Insp Chin, he looks after us all right :dance:
240MSP gets you the new stage (with 3 battles), a new horse and EIGHT BGM tracks. Is there any reason for anyone not to buy that when the DLC is available for all... seriously but it folks and show Koei we want more of that... and less pricey two song packs we probably wont even like because we cant preview them.

One new stage with three different scenarios, eight bgm tracks and a new horse for $3 or two bgm tracks for $2. That's a tough decision one has to make, KOEI. :beard:

In any case, the stage was pretty decent. I wish there was some more unique dialogue and actual character interaction that was present in DW4 but it's fun to revisit the stage anyway. The scenario you have to do to get Storm Runner was just bizarre, lol.

I remember someone saying months ago that you couldn't discard or sell DLC animals once you obtained them. So they permanently take up a slot. Is this true?

Well first observations is thats a nice track list for the stage BGM list... some awesome tunes even if were overly familiar with them by now. The third battle (one for the horse) was so damned epic i missed getting the horse itself, no spoilers but i will see for a small map your gonna be busy and im gonna have fun grinding that bad boy for weapons to sell on.

As for music track pack, bought it because i had the money sitting there and the two tracks are certainly better than most of what you get in stage pack but for that price its really a case of check them out first - they are on youtube, think we can thank LDZ for those uploads as i think thats his youtube page.

Just checked Japanese dlc website. Next week is dw3 costumes, one stage, and 2set of wallpapers out of four. Which means, in 2 weeks they will have probably the two last wallpapers and the last stage...and in three weeks, nothing left!
XL announcement coming mid-august with the end of dlc release?

Considering the fact that the development time for vanilla 8 was somewhat shorter than the development periods of the previous games, I'm more than willing to let Omega force spend as much time as they like on any possible XL or Empires game.
