Yeah they dun goofed and left them off, so damn sloppy.
odd because the PSN does have the Shu costume Pack along with The jin and Others...and the Pack for all the Costumes are $21.99..

It's the boots, ya'll. Until we know the official name, they will continue to get other names. Specifically because they are technically not greaves despite everyone wanting to call them that...

I hate to say it... but the Japanese DLC may possibly be taking so long because they're taking the time to remove Narrator and Camp Voices to try and trick the West into believing that they simply weren't there to begin with. It's the only reason I can think of why it is taking that long to release the Japanese Voices.
That's not the case since since removing narrator voice is very simple.

It's taking a long time because they have to get the license for the voices to be able to be used overseas. The companies or agencies that the JP VAs work for have copyrights for their voices, so their work can't be used commercially overseas without granted permission first.

It would be so much easier if Koei just included the JP dub in the first place like plenty of localized Japanese games do since some people who actually buy their product like the authenticity. And it's not like the disc itself doesn't have enough space since there really aren't that many FMVs (and need I mention that the game only outputs at 720p and not 1080p - the video size is significantly smaller).

Yeah given how they admitted english vocals were more last minute because of fan demand than actual long term planned integration you would have assumed having duel vocals on disc would have made the most sense... not least when they released the voices as DLC last time round because of said demand. It just seems like a round about way to do something which they surely knew they were going to have to do anyway.

Still i guess no matter how much people complain there is nothing anyone can do when the DLC is said to be delayed because of technical reasons... the camp voices were cited as a reason, i dont know how the dlc will work when its released early october - the camp sections may lose the voice work for jpn voices too.

By the way this all in one costume pack... how much does that save compared to buying each pack individual?

I think someone said it was 21.99. So probably like...8 or 9 dollars cheaper than buying all of them individually? Since they are all 5.99, it would come about to close to 30 dollars.

Are Others/Jin not included as the one pack this time? Damn, its hard to justify paying that much but a necessary gesture if its really that expensive to get them all individually (really wish i could just pick and choose certain costumes if honest, some are aweful and some characters i just dont really use never mind have then run about in a tuxedo)

If the little icon is anything to go by...all 5 factions are represented :XD

Still a bit too pricey for me, honestly. Especially considering I never use them...so itd be a total waste for me to buy them. But they're tempting...i have this urge to buy them anyway just cause its DLC for a game I love <_<

It's hard being a sheep, sometimes, yo.
Also, FYI, that "spend $50 get $10" thing is back, until October. So...21 dollars would put you well on the track to getting 10 dollars back :XD

The 360 disc doesn't however have enough space, and DW8 had to compressed just to fit on the the disc. Microsoft wouldn't have allowed the game to release on 360 if it wasn't the exact same as the PS3 version, so they decided to release it as free DLC for both.

He's mistaken. Jin and Others are in the same pack. It comes out to about 24 dollars so if you buy them all together, you save 4 dollars.

*sigh* So all we got were the rest of those stupid costumes and a female wallpaper set. A really disappointing batch this time around. But with that said I bought the wallpapers. Oh, and Huang Gai's avatar as well.

Glad that we have gotten a bundle with the costumes. Could've been cheaper though. There are 4 packs and each of them cost 6 Euro. Makes 24 Euro. The bundle costs 22 Euro, so we save only 2 Euro.
Definitely going to get the female wallpapers pack without hesitation.

Something about ancient Chinese people speaking authentic modern Japanese makes me laugh :hehe:

It's like wanting a game about the Trojan War dubbed in French because it's authentically European

The dialogue for a Musou game tends to run more in the area before and during Samurai when it comes to age and flavour. Of course, that doesn't stop Sima Zhao from using modern slang.

That said, it's not like you can get this game to be all the way authentic. Dubbing the game in Mandarin like DW3 is just not the same as whatever ancient tongue was actually spoken in this era.

yeah it looks like koei is picking favorites again as usual...why is bao sanyiang even there isn't she like in the bottom 5 from the popularity poll out of all the women. also sun shangxiang has really went down in popularity and yet koei still uses her all the time. I would have like to see da qiao have something for once, she is kinda popular and what is up with koeis love for xing cai all the sudden.

I agree diao chan and guanyinping are the best. diao chan looks beautiful as always but I`m kinda bias toward her anyway.
I dont like wang yuanji your not the only one trust me.
she has the worst outfit here. her hair is bad looking, those buns are ugly and her outfit just looks goofy. lol koei is running out of ideas for outfits for her cause they use her so muchXD. she is the only one that has different styled hair too...koei and their favorites.
lol no wei womenXD fanboys/girls commence rage modeC:
