Could be kinda cool really.. I would love having a lil more player agency over how some characters looked. Especially if they went as far as allowing you to mix and match all the costumes, by dissecting them. Just like how we dress our CAWs in empires, do so with the Uniques. It would kill the whole "I don't like his/her hair." Type of complaints. I for one actually like Sun Ce's hair in 7 more than his ponytail. Even thing if he had long hair, and let his hair down... He would look BA. But thats just me... Cool idea, may be a tall order to include in 8.... But cool idea.

Cool ideas people, seems we all pretty much agree on the basics...stages, costumes and weapons.

What would you guys think of DLC stories for the other characters? It could incorporate the what-if stages as well.

Example - Yuan Shao

Alliance Against Dong Zhuo
Conquering the North
Guan Du - What if Yuan Shao won
Yuan Shao counquers the rest of the country - Several what-ifs

I think it would be great and make more of a use for the other characters, especially those who will be new in this game. Obviously the DLC stories could be used for any characters, Im just saying the others cause we know they dont have their own/be playable in the storymode.

Since probaly all characters will be decloned, I want to see some older weapons as DLC. Costumes? RotK costumes for everyone, and not just for Zhao Yun and Sun Shangxiang (Zhang He will be just hilarios :XD ). As for characters... probably not gonna happen, but if it will, that the best variant will be Hokuto Musou way: add someone uniportant, but popular, like Hua Xiongo or Wen Chou and Yan Liang. They will be the perfect DLC.

I want:
1)Past stages
2)Weapons skins
3)all costumes from past dw games,new costumes,and most of all romace of the three kingdoms 12 costumes,but not only for Zhao Yun and Sun Shang Xiang
4)I would like to see some weapons but I don't mind so much if all characters get decloned
5)soundtracks from past games,and soundtracks from other KOEI games like Bladestorm the hundred years' war,Samurai Warriors,Warriors Orochi
6)Maybe a new mode like Challenge Mode or a mode where you play a battle against a friend(Player vs Player),and it could have a price at 20 EURO.But I don't think KOEI will make a new mode.
Also for characters I don't want dlc characters.They need a lot of work(new weapon,voice actor,conversations with other characters,place them into story and other modes) and KOEI will keep them for XL and Empires.Better to introduce them in a full game and not as DLC

As much as I hate to say it, but costumes intrigue me the most. Weapons are cool too but usually the movesets are so disjointed that I rather wait for the next installment or spin-off for them to improve.
That being said, I don't buy DLC, because more often than not its not worth it.

Stages, depending on how they are done, I would pay for.

I find it quite funny how most of you want the past stages/costumes/BGMs to come as DLC.
We already paid a lot for them in DW7, and now you want them as DLC again, and paying for the exact same thing.
I want these to be included in the game from the beginning. (in the new mode maybe)
Or to be released through a cheap "Season pass".


What I expect from the DLC, is actually something which do not help in understanding the story/characters.
DLC must be an option in any game, and not something that adds to the story.
That's all I want.
Or release DLC through an expensive and huge expansion (multiple XL ?), just like rockstar did with RDR:Undead Nightmare..

I can't see them adding anything else than Dream stages, and weapon skins.
But at the moment, we do not know how the gameplay has been improved and how they could implement DLCs.

And sure we will get some costumes, but I don't mind them.

Because Yuanji is getting a costume based off the Lawson Vocaloid chaaracter, Akikoloid-chan, I would like other characters to get costumes based off of other Vocaloids.

i also want them to bring in the Strikeforce Fury Form costumes from WO3 and put them in this game, and come up with Fury Forms for the new characters.

This is exactly how I feel, I think it is unfair if they were to release the same DLC as in DW7 and charge us full price for it. It would be ridiculous if that were to happen. They could always do what they did between DW7 & XL, as in if you had bought the DLC it would carry over to the next game.

I would prefer for all past DLC that you have paid for to be able to use in DW8 and for them to make brand new DLC for the game, stages weapons etc.

Same here.. I think they could just include it for people that have already purchased it, and have it up for sale for the one's that haven't.

Exactly I doubt it would be hard for them to incorporate it into the game. They already did it for two games; 7XL & 7Empires, so they could do it again just for 8. I would find it extremely annoying if we had to pay for DLC that we have already purchased, especially for costumes. Past weapons we won't be able to but of course, with them being given to characters.

well I'm all for new Weapon DLC and Stages

I think for Stage DLC they could give us some of the old DW3 maps that haven't been upgraded so maps like Chang Ban, Hefei Castle, Jie Ting and Wu Zhang Planes would go down a treat for me as i loved the DW3 stages.

DLC Weapons would be great as i know some characters will end up with weapons i dislike for example say Xiao Qiao still retained the Iron Fan and the Twin Fans were DLC i can replace them i also believe that the EX attacks should be tied to the Weapon it's self so DLC weapons can be of use and have their own EX attacks, Musous are harder as they are character assigned not weapon

I'm on the DLC character wagon but it should be tied strictly to the Others Kingdom as although I'd love a Liao Hua character DLC it would harm future games, although going back to DLC Stages i would love to see the battle of Chen Cang Castle return but maybe throw in Hao Zhao as a DLC character as that was his crowning moment, but i feel DLC characters should be an Empires thing as there is no story in that game.

One idea i came up with would be for VS mode if anyone remembers Ma Chao's 4XL Legend Stage i was thinking an Online 4 way battle with 10 minutes on the clock see who racks up the most kills have all the characters on pre set stats and put the 4 players into a large map (this would be brilliant for DLC stages)

I have had another idea for what Koei could issue as downloadable content.

Possible co op missions for 2-4 players, would probably be from the storyline but again using the what-if stages depending on who you have to use. Hopefully they would make them harder depending on how many players take part, would need to have serious teamwork as well.

Im liking the ideas of a versus mode as well, or maybe an arena?

I've been thinking of a series of dlc that has it's own story. The story of the warriors that led up to them appearing in WO series. Or if they do a new spin off series, in case 3 was the last WO. Some dlc leading up to that story... Kinda like a gaiden.

I've been saying in the main thread that they should consider crossover weapons and characters as dlc from other games just to add to the fun. Characters like Yukimura, and even some of the mystics and demons from WO to tie into the dlc I meantion above. Even the exclusive strikeforce characters.

Weapon packs could include
New weapons exclusive to DW series
Crossover weapons from
-Ninja Gaiden
-DWO
-Samurai Warriors
-Zill Ol' Trinity ETC... With characters from those games

Crossover Costumes from
-Kessen
-DWTactics
-ROTK
-Disguise costumes like what they did with SW characters in WO3

Pseudo company CAW's to appear in the story mode, would help the likes of Yu Jin if he is not in the game.. At least you could get a unique skin for him.

Will drop more as it comes to me.
I do like this idea.
See hayabusa moveset would be awesome
Like soem SW moveset to !

Yeah I would I just think they would be great weapons to switch into for certain characters, if they used some of his movesets...

Example
Guan Suo 1-Nanchaku 2-Vigoorian Flail
Zhou Yu 1-Bo Staff 2- Lunar Staff
Sun Ce 1-Tonfas 2- Ryu's Tonfa

I don't see them adding all his weapons.. But a few of them would be cool. Even think SSX had access to Ayane's weapon it would make a good mix.

I gotta admit, the one thing I hated DLC-wise in DW7 were the joke weapons, I just found them to be quite cheap and tacky. Half of them were really lame I think, I hope they dont go down that road again!

Yeah I think the joke weapons were a waste of space and time on Koei's behalf. I never used them. If they are going to do Joke weapons I feel like they should give them as a joke reward for people that play the game on very easy. lol... Not as paid dlc... Time would have been better spent on some badass skins.

i do agree about weapon or characters DLC. but i don't want it to be Crossover weapons/characters, that will make people lost interest in the expansion and not buying it.

idea about new mode:
Grand Versus mode (can;t think of a name)
versus mode where you're controlling Force vs Force.
Ex: in Guan Du, player 1 play as Cao Cao's forces and Player 2 as Yuan Shao's

though i think this would be the best for empires
add feature like able to order officer to attack some base, or even switch characters(same force) in middle of battle

although it will becoming too much kessen-style

Because I just found out that Xiao is keeping that weapon, mark the twin fans on the list of dlc weapons idea. I'm little mad, but I'll be fine later.

Never did like those damned twin fans personally but if its any joy to you now that Jiang Wei, Ling Tong and Sima Yi have their much requested weapons (albeit the wired claws via a different character) i think the twin fans are perhaps now the most popular weapon for DLC demand wise give or take the Cards coming back with Zuo Ci. If anything else comes with him then you can bet your mortgage people are gonna raise their voices demanding them back.

Oh yea, thanks for reminding me about others. Okay, I feel better now, thanks. Wonder if Fu Xi's and Nu Wa's weapon are going to be added as DLC Weapon.

Signed.
I also want twin fans as a dlc weapon....because it fits her more...well that's what you get for asking Daqiao's twin canes...
Now what this i am serious, that they will release it some weapon dlc

Fu xi and NU wa's weapon are impossible to me...great sword is pretty much guan ping, and rapier and shield is pretty much XIngcai.

ZZG, I didn't ask for Da Qiao's twin canes. I just wanting the characters to declone. Xiao's the only problem that I'm dealing with, so thats fine. I guess that make sense for Fu Xi and Nu Wa.

You misunderstood me again.....well i meant to say this is what happens to some people who wants twin canes to come back(Do you like twin canes), i dont mean it was you who wre the cause of this sorry for my wrong grammar on that...

Xiaoqiao is the current problem since her having twin fans is more better...

I honestly don't think the blame can be placed on any one party in particular ZZG and to do so is a bit harsh. If all the focus went to twin fans and Da Qiao still had iron fan... There would still be people that wanted the twin canes. See what you're getting at, about Daikyo making a lil noise for the Twin Canes. Still out of place seeing how you're doing the same with Guan Suo fighting hand to hand, and when there are people whining for the nunchaku back because the moveset didn't pan out... Would you like them to point the blame at you? Didn't think so... If twin fans is still something fans want, then I encourage any member of that party to do something about it and quit whining. Hope this isn't taken out of context... It's just the truth.
