So it looks like Quan won't be using the dao anymore now that he might be getting the flame blade sword like Sima Shi got the lightning sword. Te only question now is what is going to (probably?) happen to the dao? Can't say I'm against having a flame based sword to go along with his flame based Ex and musous.

or quan can just keep the dao since hes already unique, and the flame sword can go to someone else in DW9.

cus, ya know, no reason to change the weapon of someone whos move set isnt shared by other playable characters.

...Be used by generics and as a perfectly usable 2nd weapon for weapon switching? This is part of what I don't understand with you people.....just because something might not be an EX weapon in future games (Empires) doesn't mean it would just suddenly vanish. A lot of people have that attitude that it would though. :wacko:

I'd rather have the opposite, since it seems the Blaze Sword fit Quan better.
I mean, Sun Quan can keep the blaze sword, and the dao could go to someone else in DW9.

But as necrosis said, one of these two weapons could stay as secondary weapon only.

thats is true. i think my main gripe with the idea of people getting different weapons, despite being unique, is the idea of them being taken out of the game.

if Quan does indeed get the Flaming Sword as his EX Weapon later, as long as the Dao is still available to use I'd be fine with that i suppose.

though that brings up another question: the throwing knives. they were Wang Yuanjis default weapon in DW7, which are now shared by generics. if we were to change the weapons of the people who share their type with generics, that means hers would have to change as well, which would be very weird ...

GGs what did I just say :facepalm: :kurokan:




UHM, anyways. I wonder how many extra weapons they'll make. The giant trishula sai were going to be DLC at first, too. I'm glad they weren't able to do that....can't imagine what Wang Yi would've been a clone of otherwise. :whistle:

Blaze Blade
 
「焔刃剣」は、武器を装備して走るなどして、段階的に強くなる炎を纏ったチャージ攻撃が可能となります。
武器の取得は、「将星モード」>「武器屋」>「DLC取得」で行えるほか、戦闘中に獲得できることがあります。
また、フリーモードに追加される「秘蔵武器獲得戦・焔刃剣」の中で、より強力な「焔刃剣」を獲得することが可能です。
※シナリオはフリーモード内の、「勢力名」>「DLC」の中に追加されます。
The Blaze Blade has a perk in which it is imbued by flame that gets gradually stronger as you do things like running, and that flame will be unleashed in charge attacks.

DLC weapons can be obtained not only from Commander Mode -> Weapon Shop -> Get DLC, but can also be gotten in battles.
Also, a new DLC stage will be added to Free Mode which will allow you to obtain the DLC weapon's 5th weapon.

If these new DLC weapons do replace the current generic weapons, I see no point in just getting rid of them all together. It would be great to leave them just as "second weapons" like people were saying and leaving them as CAW exclusive EX weapons in Empires.

KOEI seems really keen on spreading the DLC out so I wonder how long it will be for every weapon to be released.

So we have:
Dao - Sun Quan
Spear - Ma Chao
Club - Xu Zhu
Fan - Xiaoqiao
Knives - Wang Yuanji
Great Sword - Guan Ping

Since Sun Quan is "getting" the Blaze Sword and the next weapon was the Screw Crossbow, I can only see Wang Yuanji getting it.

Did Koei ever said this was their goal ?
Maybe they just want to bring back good ol' memories.

I mean, Sun Quan's DW5 sword,
probably Yueying DW6 crossbow
etc.

Let's just pray for the weapons you all want to come back ;)

I'm curious to know a few things about this statement.
"can also be gotten in battles"
But...how ?
Who will drop such a weapon ? Random generic officers ? Sun Quan ?
I don't have DW8, so I don't know how weapon droping system works.

So there is really a new DLC stage ?
It's nice to see that DLC weapons are treated like any other weapon.
Now I'm wondering what kind of scenario it could be.
I hope it's an historical event, featuring Sun Quan, which was absent from DW8 (no idea of what it could be however).

Personally I don't think that Koei will CHANGE (not declone since they are unique in that no playable character shares their moveset) the moveset of every character that shares his or her weapon with a generic I just don't see it happening. Although the reason for Quan possibly getting a new weapon is that like on here maybe the JP fanbase also thought that the dao was underwhelming when compared to the other rulers' swords and just to fix that Koei may have decided to give him this. It also doesn't mean that the dao just has to disappear it can as a secondary weapon and maybe it would encourage Koei to capitalize on some the mechanics used Strikeforce which isn't just the secondary weapons. (Sorry if I don't make sense)

just how is the Dao underwhelming? It may not be flashy, but it is still a very effective move set that is simple to use and just about anyone can use it. I think it fits Quan just fine, in the aspect that hes a man who doubts his abilities as a leader and a fighter, especially when compared to his brother and father, and even more so after they die. A move set that is simple but effective fits his character.

i honestly dont get why that just because a weapon isn't flashy, it automatically doesn't fit a character, and there fore said character should get something else.

This does give me an idea.
What about giving Quan the dao in his early years, and then we grown self-confident, give him the Blaze blade.
Well, I don't care about EX weapons etc.
What matters the most to me, is the weapon itselfs.

Except it's more on the lines of an old weapon with a new perk being bought back and was used by Sun Quan from DW4-5.

I'm just glad it's back after all these years and this might be one of the few instances where I care to see a reassignment of Ex Weapons for Sun Quan in the future... or how about just have him be the Ex wielder of both. :XD

i think it would be wierd if characters had two EX Weapons, not to mention why give quan two swords when he can just keep the one he has, and the flame sword can go to someone new in a later game.

I think you see why I sort of gave up with these people. Barely anyone really gets "game design". Frustrating.

Anywho, I feel this sword's going to have a lot of spinning if it's really geared towards Sun Quan as the weapon model would indicate. Seems to be his thing now with his Musou 1, Air, and EX.

Why would they declone characters who are already decloned... its clearly a case of these weapons being retained for newer additions in XL and beyond. The fact the picture depicts Sun Quan using it means diddly squat - Huang Gai was pictured using the bombs remember and look how that turned out.

I looked at the DLC planned for May. More modern job outfits for Shu and Jin, wallpapers for female characters, a special White Tiger animal ally, weapons with alternate colors, and a DLC weapon: rotating crossbow.

Hm....interesting. :shifty:
