All of the weapon animations bar the chain whip are fit for a male anyway. The only other weapon to have any difference in animations was the short pike and even then it was just a running one. |

Seriously? So you're telling me that some say he can't have a new weapon even if the one he currently has isn't good? That's strange, I don't think it would go to waste if he is gets a better weapon. Would anyone miss the Dao, I can see if it was a really amazing weapon but it's not. And I don't think it would go to waste maybe it'll be an extra weapon but just not have an owner, it's a possibility. I'm not saying he has to get a new weapon, but if he can get a better weapon, why say no? This goes for any character. I think the charges from Orochi would suffice, but a new weapon is even better. I just think its lame for a character to be stuck with a sub-par weapon just because it wouldn't have owner,especially if they can get a better one is all. This isn't directed towards you personally, just throwing this out there. |

of course and if Sima Zhao kept the Dao then Quan could of had a new weapon but the way i see it is if Koei wanted Quan to have a new weapon they would of given him one in DW8 same with Ma Chao, I'm just not a fan of leaving weapons ownerless if i know there is at least someone who can use it. I just wanted to put that out there |

....wait a moment here.. I know you guys might think this is strange but.. Maybe the reason is that they want to introduce CaW in Extreme legends version. I mean DW4 has character creation on its vanilla version.. SO lets assume that the DLC weapon is for the character who is cloned with generic, that means two of 'em. ANd turns out there are another 4 weapons dlc. That means all their "original" weapon is now for generic. And if CaW come in DW8XL that means Generic weapon is for the CaW to play with. But i dont think CaW will come in DW8Xl, because that will ruin the DW8 EMpires sales... Unless they do it SW2 way(EMpires released first and then XL) or like DW4(Original version with CaW mdoe in it already,but the possibility to hurt their sales is high) Edited by Ryō Genken, Fri Apr 19, 2013 11:27 am.

I'm not sure Koei will add CAW in XL as you said it'll hurt the Empires sales, I'm still on the boat for DLC weapons for new characters |

Is it fair to say that if he WO3 changes were incorporate into the Dao, way less people would be complaining? I think part of it is not only because, for many people, the Dao is one of the most forgettable and uninteresting movesets in the game but also because it hasn't changed at all from DW7 to DW8 (aside from Sun Quan's new musou and stuff, which is tied to him and not the weapon) I know that there are several movesets which hardly changed between the two games but they generally weren't seen as 'negatively' as the Dao was/is, I think. |

Lol the new weapons are obviously for the new characters in XL, for Cheng Pu and Yu Jin. Finally Koei decided to release other dlc other than crap wallpapers and bgms. Edit - @Ixbran - ha lulz, have you ever heard of 'Opinion'? You dont have to agree to what others say, you mentioned it yourself lulz. Edited by Wynter, Fri Apr 19, 2013 1:07 pm.

Characters who share weapons with generics won't get new weapons. This would mean Guan Ping, Ma Chao, Sun Quan, Xiao Qiao, Wang Yuanji and Zuo Ci would need new weapons. Yuanji will NOT lose those knives, they are her thing. @Ixbran, Opinions.. Edited by Bonshaquitalafondria, Fri Apr 19, 2013 1:16 pm.

I don't think anyone besides me is complaining lol, but I do feel like less people would be complaining since it would be modified since it wouldn't be so plain and boring anymore. I do agree that the Dao has the most negative reception, not only because it's not a good weapon but also since it was responsible for the most clones in DW7. In my opinion the Dao hasn't changed at all in DW8. Most of the original weapons were tampered with in some way, but the Dao hasn't been touched, it may have gotten a minor attack speed adjustment but it's not noticeable if it did. |

Guan Ping can use Zanbato...and still has the same musou animation If Blaze blade is for Sun Quan then his musou will still the same albeit using the blaze blade skin instead of normal dao skin. Some character could retain the same weapon but with different movesets...They could just use Zhao Yun as an example... Ma CHao's spear name change into WInd Spear..etc. |

The Dao definitely did not garner the most negative reception in terms of gameplay. In fact I still personally consider it a decent moveset. Especially its C3 and C6. There were many complaints about the Bow moveset, which is still as bland as a Will.I.Am single for instance. If anything, you could argue most of the 36 weapon types from DW7 look incredibly boring compared to everything released from XL onwards. |

What surprise me is that in May we'll get Character Song for Wang Yi, Wen Yang, and others for free download. Jesus, how long has it been since the first time I hoped they use Character Song for ending credits or some scene regarding to the character... |

If that is happening.. Blaze blade will be for Cheng Pu, and Screw crossbow will be for yu jin. Unless they want to take screw as something similar to snake..(so its for CHeng Pu). But that means they would only have 2 weapons for DLC..? |

Ikr! The first time I played Oichi in SB2 H and her credits song plays during her final showdown, I get that special, climatic feel I never felt before. It was VERY satisfying fighting while listening to someone singing in the background. So yeah, super happy to know this is now possible for DW8. Though I still wonder why they chose Zhang Bao's song for Shu. Hopefully the other songs become available as well. |

I'm going to guess these weapons are not going to be assigned official owners come XL. If its anything like DW7, the DLC for DW8 will be compatible with DW8XL, which means they're basically then giving you the DLC weapons assigned to new characters. I would imagine they won't be assigned to anyone till DW8E or DW9. But that's just my guess. For the record, I also agree with Ixbran. I don't see a point in changing any of their weapons now that they are all decloned. Especially Yuanji and Guan Ping. The Throwing Knives and Great Sword don't seem like movesets you just toss away because they happen to share it with generics. I can see the Dao and Spear being replaced, but I doubt it, and it wouldn't bug me if they weren't. |

Why would we want Diao Chan to get the maces back? lol No offence but the maces, while they were a good moveset back in 2005, did nothing for Diaos Character. Sure they were quite dancey, but nothing else. The whip really shows off Diaos personality, it's agile and quick, seductive and her moveset has a lot of twists and flips, the moveset it almost like a dance routine. I can't be 100% certain that some characters will get old movesets back, but I am 100% certain that Diao will never see those maces again lol |

I doubt she'll ever get them back as well. Or Xiaoqiao's twin fans for that matter. But I don't doubt they may return in the future. Well, the maces anyway. The twin fans just seem gone for good...which is fine by me, the Iron Fan is a cool weapon anyway. Who knows, we might even get the maces back as DLC for DW8, assuming we get 6 weapons again. We got Xiahou Dun's mace back and it was given to Pang De. So its entirely possible to get Diaochan's maces back and they'll just be given to a new character. |

Yeah, that's what I meant, I'm pretty much certain she will never get them (I would be very very surprised) but they could appear as DLC for another character. I liked the moveset, given a few changes and a few extra moves, they could be really cool. |

This is an interesting prediction. I don't know how long after the English release of DW8 the Japanese version of DW8: XL will be announced, but I may need to wait and see what the new characters get as weapons. If this weapon DLC will end up being packaged with XL, I will just wait for that game. That said, if they have already decided on XL characters, I am not convinced Cheng Pu will be in the game. The leaker said there would be two highly requested characters and Cheng Pu was never highly requested (in the east at least) until after Han Dang was announced. It may be something more along the lines of Yu Jin gets the sword and Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi or Gao Shun get the crossbow. |

It is possible "highly requested" may have just been referring to the famitsu poll, in which the character or characters that get the most votes will be added, i.e. highly requested. |

well if Koei were planning on giving the XL characters the DLC weapons Koei would not release the weapons as DLC just look at Wang Yi the Trishulas were planned as DLC but Koei pulled them out and assigned them to Wang Yi, why would Koei release the weapons as DLC only to assign them in XL it wouldn't make much sense |

Money. It may not be definite since like you said, in DW7, they didn't reassign the DLC weapons until after XL, but at the same time, I wouldn't put it past them. And XL was announced shortly after the trishulus were supposed to be released if I remember correctly. It was easier for them to just recall them as DLC weapons and give them to a new character in XL. I'm not saying this prediction we have here is correct, but DW8 is a different beast than DW7. In DW7 there were still a ton of clones and they could get away with releasing DLC and new weapons in XL. Now everyone is decloned and all of the DLC weapons from DW7 have been assigned to characters. |
