lol I might be in trouble then. I already can't wait to play it. Would like to see some of the artbook pages myself, I know someone will have them all on here.

Those ROTK DLC are badass though, I have a feeling we will see some more of them this week if we get news. They need to put Ma Chao's up. Maybe they could do a Ma Chao DLC package with his ROTK costume and a new weapon/moveset for him...lol a man can dream

Lol that would be a nice touch too. I love his ROTK look and it would add icing on the cake for him to receive it along with a new spear. Good call. Definitely would like to see a lot of those outfits make it in.

Aside from that, I remember other members stating they had already pre-ordered the digital download somehow.

Sounds like a plan, and I wouldn't blame you. I'm sure the boards will be live with spoiler news around the time of release. Stuff like that just eats at your inner fanboy. Don't let em torture ya man lol. I'll try to stay as quiet as I can about it at first.

Few might and might not. However, it's best not to upload the video before the release because it can cause chaos among the people. I don't mind waiting, but I'll be too busy for college and 7 empires.

lol thats your opinion my friend. I'm sure people who get it early probably won't post anyway cause they'll be too into the awesomeness of DW8. I feel you though with college got an exam Monday.

Heres hoping for DLC news this week!

I'll have the game on February 28, and I personally don't want to be spoiled, so I'll stay away from the DW8 main thread. :hehe: I'll just check the translations thread (like the menu, skills, etc.), and the DLC thread. Speaking of DLC, I hope they'll announce something next week. Wouldn't mind a new DLC weapon already. :whistle:

Lol @ZeeZee.. I will try my friend. I don't have the most high end phone at the moment, but I will see what I can do. I plan to get a new phone in about a week or so (Galaxy SIII) so that should change soon. But I will update you on the musou changes if there are any. Just don't ask me to spoil the story, I don't like doing it and will most likely decline a request to do so.

Well.. We are almost there guys, and like so many of you.. I keep hoping there will be some type of news this week. I also think Koei should dream a lil bigger on this weapons as well. Not saying they should go and bring in sub machine guns or anything but... I would mind Guan ping or anyone getting something inventive like...

That's the switch axe. Modes switch between axe and sword for DEVASTATING combos. I was primarily a Dual sword/Long Sword/Hammer kinda guy in MH until this thing came along. Anyway... We will see, you know how some people cry over weapons.

Dang! That weapon is too big for normal characters... I mean... uh... Guan Ping can use that weapon and it's kinda better than Great Sword.

Lol so is the Great Sword... I think it could give him an edge. It's basically a greatsword with a twist. Lol recently they upgraded the switch axe to the "Charge Axe" and it's larger than the switch. The switch axe is actually the lighter version and the charge is the heavy.
Spoiler: click to toggle


But I would settle if his Zanbato looked more like...

Just suggestions.. I'm perfectly fine with weapons that are outside of the box. Finding the right mix between realism and fantasy is a part of the fun for me.

I like both of them lol that axe/sword is pretty beast. Also really like that version of the Zanbato I'd be happy to see either one...the zanbato kinda reminds me of Munenori Yagyu

Munenori Yagyu


But I'm fine with whatever Guan Ping gets

Id like to see more magical based movesets, the DW series has a few but they all have weapons with magical attacks. Id like to just see a magical weapon as DLC..

Magical based weapons are needed we only have a few. I feel like they could do more with staffs. I'm sure they got some good ideas though. I'll try and look for some ideas later

I'm probably in the minority when I say this but I kinda hope there isn't weapon DLC. Every character is already unique and adding extra weapons may not be the best idea. The only way I could see it work is if Koei just makes some insane weapons that are extremely OP and therefore are likely to never be given to a future character as an EX weapon.

The main thing that I'd like to see as DLC are "What-if" scenarios. I don't think there will be that many in the game at first and with all the wonderful possibilities for these scenarios I think adding more for DLC would be fantastic.

My second concern for Dlc would be with more battles and scenarios for Commander Mode. I'm not sure exactly how they could work extra scenarios into this mode but it would be nice if they would be able to.

My least favorite form of DLC is costumes/outfits. They are cool to look at for a few seconds but I always end up using the normal outfits and never buying the DLC ones. The only exception I ever made to this was when the StrikeForce costumes came out. Those were just too awesome to pass up :D .

I see where your coming from but for me new weapons offer replay value as well as more variety and a breath of fresh air lol. Hopefully they add some awesome new weapons as well that are worthy of going to new characters and not just some half-ass ones lol. Also hope to see people like Sun Quan, Ma Chao, Xu Zhu ect who share movesets with generics to either get an old/new weapon or a new moveset.

As for the what-ifs and commander mode...I'm right on board with you. Adding more what-ifs and different types of battles to commander mode definitely offers replay value and a little more fun to the game!

I like Aya's staff from SW it's all about melee has a different feel to zhang jiaos staff.

I think maybe gauntlets would be the best way for a magical weapon to be portrayed, they put them on and can now use magic kind of thing.

I like the gauntlets idea, that sounds interesting and cool. Maybe they could shoot magic out of the gauntlets or maybe a magic type of hand-to-hand combat I kinda thing lol IDK just an idea.


As for Aya I agree, I love her staff moveset and its design...would love to see something like it.

I wouldn't mind magical gauntlets... Or a staff like Aya's. They are both cool by me. Lu Tzu and I talked about magical weapons a bit a few days ago I believe. Still want my double bladed staff but at the end of the day... I doubt we get them all.

Sun Quan
Xiao Qiao
Ma Chao
Guan Ping
Xu Zhu
Wang Yuanji
Zhang Jiao = 7 possible weapons whether they are new or just upgrades remain to be seen. Aside from them... I can see them possible having 3-5 more weapons beyond them. That said.. We have also mention dual weapons. Something is going to get left out.

Possibility this could bring
Sun Quan - Sword upgrade or New
Xiao Qiao - Fan upgrade or Twin Fans
Ma Chao - Spear upgrade or New
Guan Ping - Gsword upgrade or New
Xu Chu - Club upgrade or new
Wang Yuanji - Throwing Daggers upgrade
Zhang Jiao- Staff upgrade or new

Leaving possibly... (equals 12)
1._______
2._______
3._______
4._______
5._______ and if I had to fill them in...

1. Dual weapon
2. Magic weapon
3. Solo weapon
4. Heavy weapon
5. Creative weapon (something outside of the box)

I could be wrong... But I'd see them spreading the choices a bit. And to clarify, I'm not saying that 12 are confirmed, or that there should be 12, just speculating the possibilities. I hope they choose wisely.
