I'd say 12 would be a fair number for dlc weapons. There were originally 12 weapons that were DLC for dynasty warriors 7 but the sais got taken out for Wang Yi leaving 11 weapons for DLC. And that interview with one of the koei guys I believe said the DLC for dw8 would be similar to that of dw7...soo heres to hoping lol |

Upgrade or change of weapon doesn't sound bad, after all, we got one problem solved, so the next is solving another generic problem. If Koei can do that before DW9, then I could say that they are learning from mistake and improving it. (Sub or Dub is understandable since there are massive character rosters and thousands of lines.)

I agree they have taken a big step with decloning everyone, I hope they take another step by decloning some of the characters who share weapons with generics. I think people would be for it imo...maybe not. I think we will get some answers this week. |

Lol it'd be weird for em to be against it... At least IMO. Those generics can keep the old weapons and movesets and give the player access to the weapons when selecting all while making them EX exclusive to the CAWs when they return. From there they can keep adding characters with new weapons. Win/Win there... ![]() I wonder will they do the visiting officers like how they did with empires or are they going to keep them exclusive? Would be cool to get visits from Yu Jin etc etc. OT: Just finished Metal Gear Rising...... Speechless. |

Yeah I don't see them being against it either. Its a win win for them like you said. Theres plenty of routes they can take with the extra DLC weapons. That would be cool getting visits from some of the generic officers, they might keep that exclusive to empies though...guess we'll find out OT: lol did you like it? |

I think 12 weapons would be the best course of action I think, but remember that would be through the 8XL era as well if we're following in DW7's footsteps. I hope to see at least 8 weapons in DW8 alone, then a further 4 via 8XL (which isnt including new characters). Then of course there will be stages, BGMs and costumes in the mix also. We could be looking at tonnes of DLC if Koei wanted to go that way with things. If they bring out a load of DLC, I hope its not too over priced, else Ill just be getting the weapons! |

@Lu Tzu (OT) Yeah man, the game is probably going to be the best Action game this year and one of the best of all time. IMO. The stuff they have you doing in this game is a complete adrenaline rush, and defeating bosses leaves you feeling elated. Pick it up if you haven't! I hope we get a good bit for 8... I can see 6-8, with 8 most likely being that magic number. Or maybe 7, since it's shin sangoku musou 7 in Japan. We'll see... Edited by BryllTheRed, Mon Feb 25, 2013 2:26 pm.

I call it 8 dlc weapons total since we have around that number on Dynasty Warrior 7. Either way, its more than enough for me.

It depends what they do with the DLC weapons in the 8 era which will make them enough, especially when adding characters to the game via XL & Empires. If they add characters say 3 in XL & 1 in Empires (following 7's footsteps again) and use the DLC weapons on all of them when they're added that would leave us with 4 extra unused weapons for EMpires and CAWs to use. I know thats more free weapons then we have ever had before, but if all of them were still unused by Empires then thats great! They can do whatever they want with the weapons in DW9, like they have done with Hang Dang. |

I dont like the idea, but I was just throwing it out there incase they do if you know what I mean. Partly my arguement about DLC weapons becomming new characters Exs in the next expansion is simple, why would you pay for DLC if its going to be included on the expansion you're going to buy anyways? I was just saying how many un-Ex weapons we would have in 8Empires for us to use for CAWs... 8 is quite realistic, do you mean that for just 8 or is that including 8XL also? |

What choice do they have when they are going to use the same method. Beside, I been wronged about Han Dang, holding a short pike. I can see some might do the same, and I don't mind about as long they solve another problem that they have to deal with. |

I dont agree with them giving DLC weapons to new characters in the same era's expansions, especially when you have paid for them. Giving the 8 era's DLC weapons to new characters in DW9 is fine and I expect them to do so, else DLC weapons would just become a waste after one era. |

They only did one weapon to Han Dang, but rest was declone via dlc to Empires. So, there isn't much to declone since they got all of them done, unless, they rearrange the move-set for all the characters. Overall, I really don't care now since we already deal with clones. |

I believe 7 of the dlc weapons will be for those who shares it with generics. And if we believe that there will be around 11/12 weapons.. i guess that will leave...around 4-5 weapons for the un-exed one. I might be wrong though. We might get twin fans, Zanbato for their respective character. the rest of the four will get the same treatment as the DW7XL decloned(Xiahou Dun, and friends). I simply cant think of any weapon besides the spear, the club, throwing knives,the sword and shaman staff for their respective character. They can simply rework the moveset under different name for these cloned..they need not changed musou and ex attack since they technically the same weapon. |

Lol like a nice attitude. Anyways I really want to see what all the stages are included with the game, then we can get some ideas of what might come as DLC stages. From what we have seen so far there is no nanman stage (yet to see the others), so if there wasnt they could bring a nanman stage to the game via DLC, for both sides to be played. |

I don't really care what they do with the weapon DLC just as long as we get some lol. They can either go to new characters, replace old weapons, or save them for CAW, just bring them on lol |

Yes thats true, but I guess it might be a different outcome if you have paid for them previously. It depends what weapons they actually bring out as DLC, if they ditch all of them then it would be a bit weird, but if they kept the decent ones (depending on what we get) then Id be more then happy. Just got to wait and see I guess. |

Haha - i can only imagine the rage from some (myself included) when it comes to general consensus on which were the decent ones and as such should have been kept... i for one loved the Short Halberd, Dao Broadsword and Halberd movesets but some seem to assosiate that as me wanting to kick a kitten because they are "bland" or "boring" compared to the quite frankly ridiculous over the top ones. Paying for something in the past wont deter Koei... not when theyve proven they are happy to recycle old assets off disc for premium prices as DLC from version of the game onto the next. Im just WAITING for them to announce the DW4 costumes as DLC for another small fee though could be wrong... its interesting the DW1 DLC costumes they chose were for the ones who were NOT already treated to them last time round (such as Xiahou Dun and Diao Chan) |

I know it's annyoing that Koei is using old school weapons move-set, along with the animation, but it doesn't change the fact that creating new weapon is consider a prop for them. I think that they are trying something new, along with learning from mistake. I'm bit concern about the stance. |

Welp... Game didn't come today. It's cool though... I expected it to go this way. All in all, this is the week and after tomorrow... I'm on vacation for a few days. O.o Amazing how that worked out. lol... Been at work all day and from what I can see, nothing new has arrived as far as infos on dlc. We may end up waiting like a week or 2 after the game launches. I know it happened earlier last time, but could play out different this time. I think I will end up repurchasing all the old costumes again... I switch costumes a lot, so the more of them I have the better. |

Some of the fantasy costumes they had in dynasty warriors 7 were pretty good for the new characters. There was nothing really "over the top" or "out of place". I wouldn't mind seeing more like that. I'm not talking about the ones with peter pan lol OT:@BryllTheRed: I've heard MGR was pretty good, I'm gonna hae to pick it up and KR2 when I go on spring break... too busy with stupid college atm lol. And at least you got that vacation to sit back and no life it on DW8...thats what i'm gonna do when I get it lol Edited by Lu Tzu, Tue Feb 26, 2013 1:10 am.

Planning on it ;).. I read somewhere back on the main topic that dw6 outfits were included on disc. That was a plus for me. Didn't get to witness any of this streaming business, and I think I'm just going to stay away from that particular thread for now. I wonder what else is included though... The more they include now, the more they can focus on NEW dlc. |
