^You basically confirmed my long drawn out assumption that Lady Wu/Guotai had her hand in just about every ****ing thing. Maybe she should the get the martial arts moveset.

Every sodding stage DLC so far has been DW4 remaster hasn't it?

As for the two new weapons I think they'll be re-assigned in Empires, no sooner. As for the blade I think that'll be Quan's and and the other, God knows.

Also, are the BGM's character image songs, they better be in the EU version :kurokan: ?!

EDIT: Glad they chose Zhang Bao, they're really pushing their best addition to the series to Shu :dance: .

That's why I'm never really hyped for stage DLC. Weapons are cool yes, but stages if they aren't a huge remaster, I don't see much of a point to waste money on them.

@TKW: I have always thought Dong Xi would get a Naval type weapon as he was a pirate before joining Wu an Anchor on a Chain springs to mind for him as i picture him as the burly Pirate to the speedy Pirate of Gan Ning.


Back on topic: I'm willing to pay for Stage DLC so long as it's from an old game or a new stage the Bo Wan Po and Jiang Dong stages i will buy them as Stage and Weapon DLC is all I'll really buy unless they give us new Costumes that aren't themed or jokey, the Blaze Blade i see it as a whole new weapon while the Screw Crossbow is a returning weapon it might go like DW7 which has both new and returning weapons, now if they showcase a new weapon as DLC then withdraw it it's a dead cert to be for a new character (Trishula anyone?)

If I remember correctly, every DLC stage in DW7 was prominently DW3 'til DW7:XL came out when it them became DW5? Seems they're focusing on DW4 for DW8, maybe DW6 remasters in DW8:XL?

EDIT: They may be planning the weapons around DW8:XL and Empires characters, think about it. Koei already know who won the poll they're just not telling us, so maybe these weapons they're doing will go on new characters?

Ooh, new weapons coming eh? Still too far a ways off to make any guesses on 'em though I suppose. I reallllly hope whatever that crossbow is, it won't replace Yuanji though. The throwing knives moveset is great, and it fits her perfectly, just take 'em from generics if it's such a damn problem. -w- Rather, if it really is Yue Yings, let it replace that awfully dull crossbow of Lianshi's, and I dunno make that thing generic. Blaze blade...well yeah, if it even is a sword (lol arm blade = boat) I can see Sun Quan's name all over it, not that the Dao doesn't work for him. :/ Dunno what people have against the more balanced movesets...

As for Guan Suo ditching chuks to do...exactly what he already does with him, I don't like the idea. ): I love the chuks in this game, and how Suo goes with them. The reason he uses so many kicks in his moveset, is because it's a martial arts weapon and that stuff goes with it, nothing deeper or more meaningful than that.

I agree, just, no.

Guan Suo is just fine without his moveset being altered. He uses Nunchuks as it's one of the best weapons to allow martial arts, but the weapon suits him very well and would hate them to go.

OT: It's a damn shame the songs are looped early, Wen Yang's song is one of the best and would have been good to have the entire song -_- .

I'm pretty sure it's just the Blaze Blade and Screw Crossbow that are the new weapons and no one knows what they look like except Koei

We have, no idea at all yet. The blaze blade could be a Fiery sword. Or it could be something completely different like Ding Fengs circle blade, or the 'arm blade' boat. Unless something there specifically says sword, any of those characters? Then the crossbow is making people think Yue Yings dw6 bladebow, but still nothings certain. Way too soon to tell xD

So does Flame Blade = Blaze Blade and Spiral Crossbow = Screw Crossbow here? I don't understand the difference between "weapon system set" and "weapon types".

Don't know why, but I imagine if Yueying's old weapon was 'manned-up' or this DLC one is different but similar to that it may suit Chen Gong somehow. Dunno, just imagining.

Anywaty..i want to talk about the costume. I kinda...hate Cai Wenji dressed as a a magician i mean it's good but.. i have this you know kinda wish all "wei" officers are connected with each other with one theme. IT seems Wei's theme will be " modern military" evidenced by Xiahou Dun and Xiahou yuan. Cao Cao could be the president or the supreme military commander with DUn and Yuan as the assistant. Cao Pi is rather connected if he is a Military doctor or medic. That means Zhenji too. Wang yi could be the female officers...Yue Jin as the foot soldier. And something along that thing...and Wenji also becomes a nurse like Zhenji. but Wenji is already a magician. so it's already out of question.
I see what you mean, but if armies had bards and drummers a magician isn't to far off. I also think they didn't want all costumes over lapping because they know fans dislike that. We also don't know for sure that the whole wei theme is military since we've only seen 5 characters.

Also don't worry I'm sure the other kingdoms will do the same and kinda stray away.

Weapons sound very interesting!
I don't see Yuanji getting a new weapon as she has become so popular with the throwing knives, I would be very let down if she lost them.

As for the original costumes, everyone looks okay except for(can't believe I'm saying this) Zhen...didn't KOEI recently describe her as a real femme fatale?....right, so let's stick her in a frumpy dumpty nurse dress that gives her no shape and is completely colourless. Cai Wenji on the other hand looks absolutely gorgeous and that outfit goes hand in hand perfectly with the wired claws, I shall look forward to that combination!

Also this, zhen ji's sucks. There are way better nurse looking uniforms than that, that one looks so plain that even she doesn't look happy wearing it.

I get the feeling that the spiral crossbow was made for a reason *cough*Ma Yunlu*cough*

I want a martial artist character..but so far none from the KOEI series really impress me..
I like girl martial artist from the SW series(Naotora,Nouhime,and Gracia).. they are my favorite girls for using martial arts.

This has been irking me like being trapped in a cage full of swarming wasps.

Weaponry=Martial Arts, too.

I get what you mean, but many (practically every character) in this game uses "martial arts". The correct term is "Unarmed", or "Hand-to-Hand. Unarmed mostly.

Besides, most of these characters who are dependent to "unarmed styles" have weapons: Gracia's Magic Bracelets and heavy use of magic, Naotora's bladed boots.

And many characters in this game can use unarmed styles. Jeet Kune Do isn't the "standard" of fighting styles, you know.

Obviously a sexy beast. :shifty:

I really do love his outfit. I love the backwards cap, and the rolled up sleeves. Not really liking the gloves, but those aren't that bad. Definitely will be using this on my Xiahou Yuan baby. :yes:
