yeah and how about the fact that the weapon pack is $4! i dont even want the revolving crossbow, but im a moron and that flame blade looks awesome. by the looks of things they must think that they were being nice and under charging for dw7 dlc, when in reality they were all a dollar too expensive, not the other way around! im surprised at the lack of raging over no japanese voice pack lol. i was never one to care much about it, but now any complaint is justified because its almost been 2 months after it should have come out.
They announced it was the 28th of August that it was coming out... its late but it sure as hell aint two months late
what i mean is that it should have been in the first batch of dlc. well to be perfectly honest it should have been on the disk from the start but i assume they cant do that because the limited dvd space for xbox.

They did. Flaming Sword and Rotating Crossbow in the same pack.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll check tomorrow morning then. And excuse my one-liner.

Well, it's up on Xbox Live in EU, I think, someone reported earlier. That's a shame.

Loving both of the new weapons so far :D

I noticed the C6 on the Blaze Blade changes depending on if you've dragged the blade on the ground or not.

And the C3 on the Screw Crossbow? You can strafe while firing it. Pretty neat.
It's gimmick is it's flame level. It has three levels and its charge attacks get stronger every level. Also has charge attacks that increase fire level.

The Flame Blade's gimmick works like this; C2-C6 get stronger on the first level, C5 gets additionally stronger on the second, C6 gets additionally stronger on the third. Running with the sword will gradually fill the blade to max, C1, Jumping Charge, and Shadow Dash raise the level once.

It's Dashes are weird tho, they don't come off of the end of the charge attacks they come out early, so you waste some of your damage (including your elemental attacks!) and it doesn't let you combo any easier. It's kind-of a hit-or-miss weapon, the animations are nice and it's gimmick works but the bad Dashes leave me wondering why they didn't just make this weapon a Jumping or Whirlwind type?

In the abscence of an obvious choice for the weapon they gave it to the one expert we have of stationary rotating weapons... Deng Ai

How are you supposed to tell what level charge it's on?

Believe me, I'm silently griping about the JP language pack. I've had DW8 for a while but I simply won't get into it without the JP language. Yea, I know it's stupid, and if it were the old days when we didn't get the JP language on disk and we couldn't get DLC I'd be playing...but they announced the pack and that's my optimal preference, so I have no choice but to wait.

Helps that I don't have a lot of time these days anymore and I'm not as huge a Warriors fan as I used to be, too, so it's not so bad

Ok so finally got my hands on those weapons...

Blaze sword - I love it, suits Quan perfectly. It isn't as martial artsy as the screenshots made it look, but still at least I can finally say ciao to that dao.

Screw crossbow thing - still trying to find a character it suits but it is BEASTLY, I love it!

I gave the machinegun to Li Dian (makes a good backup for his already fantasy-tech weapon) and Lianshi (because even with max velocity crossbow rather sucks and is boring).

I remember people saying the Flame Blade it was "too athletic" for Sun Quan. Yeah, all the fire and spinning sure clashes with Sun Quan's EX spinning fire EX attack, spinny fire musou 1, spinning air musou, and his topman true rage musou. The 3rd model is even called Wolf Flame Blade, which is nothing like his DW3-5 sword naming scheme nopers. :rolleyes: This thing so has "Zhongmou" written all over it, that he better inherit it come Empires or DW9 or KT is truly insane.


....Though I also gave it to Wen Yang because I wanted to use it on one more person. :whistle:

The Flaming Sword sucks, didnt enjoy using it at all though i give kudos to koei for the unique approach to the weapons mechanics. Rotating Crossbow though is all kinds of awesome... its got the beastly effortless approach to activating storm rush like the Arm Cannon but also got get out of jail free big area damage attacks like Siege Lance. There really aint much to hate about it to be honest - ideally someone will get this in Dynasty Warriors 9 if not DW8E because its a fun little moveset.

The rotating crossbow confuses me...

As I just said in the XL thread (but was overlooked as usual) I'm not entirely sure which character they had in mind when making it. For me Deng Ai comes to mind, although purely because it sort of resembles his current weapon. That said I agree Necrosis, it is on par with Li Dian's for "out there"ness.
I'm not sure who, if anyone, is going to get it as an EX. It would be a shame if it was dropped though, I agree it is a fun moveset even if arguably one of the most ridiculous yet.

I can picture most of the DLC weapons ecept Flame Blade and Twin Fans going to 100% new characters like they did with the Short Ji. I'm hoping instead of special CAWs for DW8 Empires they just give them to more actual new unique characters though.

I'm in the camp that doesn't like DLC weapons from a previous game going to new characters, for 2 reasons;

1) We know how the weapon plays out already, so it takes some of the hype away from a new character.
2) Unless they update the moveset to suit, the character could end up with a weapon which doesn't suit them since the weapon was designed before they were.

Still, they could make it work, they did for Han Dang. And as I said I do really like that screw crossbow thing, it would be a shame if it didn't make it into 9.

Oh yeah, and any news when we might be getting the greaves? I might be remembering wrong but I'm sure Japan got those before the other DLC weapons.

And dammit I want those Japanese VAs ASAP!

Nah, Flaming Sword and Gatling Gu..Crossbow came before the Greaves. If they release another 2 weapon pack, the next one should be the Greaves and the Emei Daggers.

Ooh I forgot about the Emei daggers :D They're going to Yuanji when I get them.

Greaves, I don't want to jump on the bandwagon and give them to Suo when they are FAR too huge for him... Hmm, I'll give that some thought.

1) Matters not when the fanbase are so fickle to end up with a game completely clone free yet still demand old weapons theyve played for years before come back and to the degree they would happily pay for them as DLC. Hell this is the fanbase which wants to diss unique weapons just to make room for legacy weapons - if they are so attached to weapons what proof does anyone have of it removing hype from a new character especially when it did no harm to the likes of Han Dang.
2) Suit who though buddy? We adjust to a characters weapon regardless of if it makes sense or not more so when its a new character. Lu Su with a rake? Now i cant think of him with anything else... especially in a game which negates noted weapons characters had in exchange for whatever make believe fancifle weapon Koei come up with at any given time. Last i looked Huang Gai is now running about with a boat for a weapon, it doesnt suit but everyone has more or less become accustomed to it now - if they can accept that on long established characters they can accept it on brand new characters.

$6 for one costume pack? Have they lost their minds. This is almost shamelessly expensive. I didn't plan to purchase the costume packs anyway, but if I had, I wouldn't now. If you purchase all of those costume packs upon release, you're looking at spending almost half of what you payed for the entire original game.
Yea that's crazy. I saw that yesterday and I was WTF?!! I hope that the old outfits like 5 and 6 doesn't cost that much.
If anyone wants to see how the outfits look like so far, here's a video.




Also, I'm doing a small contest for a DLC outfit gameplay. You can choose the character, a Wei Stage, and the 2nd weapon. If you want to do this, please comment on my video on Youtube. Thank You!!

Just look at the sword, the flames strength grow stronger every level.

Actually, Huang Gai is an Admiral in Wu's Navy, hell he should have had damn cutscene where he was surfing the waves of Chibi, with the flaming Ship following being behind him. That boat very much fits Huang Gai.
