Since we cannot import the DW7 costume DLCs to DW8, I think they'll going to have a hard time remaking all the costumes(plus the new ones as well). I think they might make a revamp on them or something. |

I'd be perfectly fine with them just using the DW7 outfits as entire skins instead of fitting them to the new character models. I doubt the graphics difference would be noticeable. I hope XL/Empires is DLC this time around. Add to the original game and no disc swapping this round. Add the new characters story mode and even trophies to the existing title like some games do. I'd just like more of the content. Maybe something new even if it is (flame suit on) made up history fillers. As long as the story isn't way off base then a few new fiction epic battles (like Chi bi, fan castle) would be nice. New locations. This could be done in the way of dlc. And more of what they've been doing with DW7/WO3 but larger packs. Give me a minimum of 4-5 hours of new content at a time. Not something that will last a 10min play through. |

If we don't get at least as much as we did for DW7 then DLC will be a failure to me in DW8. I could probably come up with a ton of things that I'd want as DLC, but the main thing would be for them to continue and expand outfit DLC. DW1 & DW2 outfits for EVERY character, DW3-DW7, the DW7XL outfits, DW7 fantasy outfits, new outfits for the new characters; I want it all. The school and fairytale costumes can all disappear and never return, as far as I'm concerned. But everything else needs to come back. |

Please don't say this too loud. KOEI may hear you... No modern day/futuristic rubbish in Dynasty Warriors. |

Well they techinically did have some modern day attire for the cast, remember the costumes to do with like school? Sports, teachers etc. Thats all modern day stuff, I agree with you I dont think it should be in there cause it just doesnt fit. But it doesnt mean they wont head in that direction again. |

I wonder if they are going to use other generals for what if stages during kingdom mode. I might be wrong about it, but I can see that they can get some roles. |

I think they could make what-if stages for the others as DLC, then those stages could also be used in free roam so they're not just a once play through thing. I'd happily pay for s mini story for the others, could easily work. |

Damn game vids ran so smooth at that demo... I'd buy any and all dlc! Lol lemme stop. I think after months of release after all the other dlc has ran its course... The biggest bomb they could drop on me is destiny mode with caw to expand the life of the game further. I supposed they'd save it for XL if they ever bring it back though.

Destiny mode was probably KOEI's best game mode excluding Empires IMHO. That was so fun. I don't think they'll do it this game, but if they brought it back in XL, along with new characters, that would sell insanely. The problem is, they'd need to have CAW or else it wouldn't work. And I'm not so sure KOEI want's to put CAW in anything not Empires. I dislike DLC in general, but if I have to choose, I hope there are ROTK costumes for everyone. I've always wanted them. |

I never seen ROTK Costume except Zhao Yun and SSX, but I would love to see it. Destiny mode is good, but wait... isn't that used for CAW? |

Yep.. Thats why we need CAW with it. @Ona Hei I definitely feel you there bro... And actually if they were so picky over that.. I say they should add it as a new mode for Empires. It would definitely deepen Empires a bit with a more streamlined story. Unlikely to happen though. 7E actually added in a bunch of events, and I haven't seen them all yet. So I really can't call how they were as of now. We will see... Definitely want that one back though, hated when it was taken away. |

Well they could kind of make it work without DLC, but it would just run really weird... I think if they were going to bring Destiny mode and CAW as DLC, it would be expensive but worth it. Aslong as you could also use your CAW in free mode and the new mode etc. Destiny mode was one of the best, just a shame they have cut it out completely, it would be great if it were to be DLC but unless they bring it out with DW8:XL, then I think its buried. |

Costumes: From all past games and new ones too. Different themes, different periods in history, cosplay all of it Weapons: As everyone is unique, add new weapon skins i think would be enough, but also maybe some old weapons (twin fans <.<) stages: like DW7 I thought that was done well. old stages new stages and xtreme stages, all add to replayability Characters: I think no. Either add them from the get go, or not until the next installment. Itd just get too confusing imo |

Yeah costumes will return again as DLC I would assume. Yeah Id like weapon skins too, aslong as they're not joke weapons. I disliked them so much, just found them tacky. New weapons should make an appearance I think, just because they will add more replayability and can be given to the characters for future games. Characters have their pros and cons really, they could add more narrative if they were able to be played in the story. If they arent playable in the story, then I dont think there is any point. |

Yeah, adding it in 8Empires would be great. since 7Empires pretty much has everything we could want now, offhand I can think of being able to assign who appears in what scenario as one thing Empires still needs. They'd need it to spice it up and make it better. But then again, it'd help in XL. I know it'd boost sales of whichever game it's in, but the question is if they want to implement CAW in XL. If they did, that'd be great; especially if they ported all the 7empires CAW parts to 8xl and 8empires, I know it'd sell well as DLC or not. ( The costumes I mean as DLC. ) |

I got few ideas about what if stages Zhuge Dan: Once Cao Mao explain his action against Sima Zhao, instead of obeying him, he tells Sima Zhao about the situation and joins with him. Wen Yang: He stills work with Wei, even though his father and brother rebels against Sima Shi Lastly, Xiahou Ba: Sima Yi's spare Xiahou Ba's life, despite about his action and let him fight against Shu.

@Ona Hei and gang.. Well now it looks like XL definitely needs something special again. New Commander mode seems to be a fusion/upgrade to Legend and Xtreme mode. Legend mode as it stands will likely feel outdated, with no upgrade to it. Chances for Destiny may increase, because in my honest opinion... Commander mode screams as a mode that needed CAW's. One thing I would like to see... Not DLC just in general, though it ties into the Destiny DLC idea I guess... For the return of CAW, I would like it if instead of just choosing your weapon... You choose a Sensei for your EX weapon. As you level up, it unlocks events of your master training you more with the weapon and unlocking the longer S-strings, jump charges, EX attacks, Musous, and maybe even what weapons become available to CAW (although that could be stretching it). I think it would add an interesting story dynamic to the CAWs in a Destiny style setting.

Since everyone has been deloned, I see less of a chance that DLC weapons will be put into the main series. But, I for one still hope they are put in but we will see. They'll be most useful for games with CAW in it, for obvious reasons. I hope they do DLC what-if stages, they would be quite easy to make up I guess. |

Perhaps less chance of new DLC weapons yes but i think they still see a good chance of making money on DLC weapon skin packs for existing weapons. Only this time i pray and hope they dont feature so many silly weapons... having the strongest weapons in the game joke themed was madness. Heck not only was it annoying in regards to DW7 but also it even effected WO3 so yeah, we shall see how they play DLC weapons in that regard this time round. |

I guess we will see wont we ;)... I think they still can do it. Han Dang ended up getting a tweaked version of the short pike afterall. Once again... DLC can always be considered a testing ground. Case and point... Even still if they are made for CAW's, which the short pike was... It can always end up with someone new. peace...

Well we will see new faces in XL thats for sure but for many half the appeal of a new character is a new weapon... we wanted everyone decloned, that is now the case so unlike DW7 DLC do we really want to know how a character will play before he is even announced excluding of course EX and Musuo attacks. The Short Halberd was an exception not the rule... the second batch of DLC weapons remain more or less exactly the same do they not? |

Meh... Whatever. I'll wait to see what Koei does on the matter. If they do it, I'll buy it. I'm not overly picky about this stuff. The short pike being given to Han Dang didn't take away any of my excitement. Even if they did do dlc, they will still end up making new ones for other characters. When Koei calls it an exception, thats when it will be. Fans don't always call the shots. EDIT The other dlc were made with the characters they were given to in mind. The short pike didn't have a user on its roster in which it was included. Pang De got the wolf teeth club in wo3, they gave it to him in empires. Dagger axe... How did they not make that without thinking Yue ying is cloned? ETC... The rules to this "exception" was a bit different in which possibly... It would apply to dlc weapons going forward. And they could always bring back older weapons just for nostalgia as well. Revamped and all. Edited by BryllTheRed, Wed Jan 23, 2013 10:50 pm.

The DLC weapons were used to declone characters but i dont think they were initially designed as decloning vehicles... the way they announced the Twin Sai only to not release them and have them show up later on Wang Yi for example gave an impression of last minute gigging about. Its easy to see the Dagger Axe and Buckler Blade etc and think clearly designed to declone old faces but Cao Ren WAS decloned... they had to tweak HIS decloned moveset to then declone someone else after he was given the Buckler Blade back. We also cant really have envisioned the Iron Boat being made with any character in mind - it was just Koei flexing their creative muscles and actually getting some nice revenue from it... after all they seem to have done pretty well from the DLC side of things, if new weapons appear it will because of financial reasons more than anything else in my opinion. Again the debate for whether they want to show the new weapons now and risk losing that little bit of excitement with XL new characters or see it being more financially worthwhile retaining the weapons for the disc release. The story mode of DW8 already looks like vastly more inclusive of characters... the gimmic of the non-story characters getting screentime via XL isnt as relevant anymore so could three new characters with already featured movesets really be enough to sell on their own backs - thats the question. |
