she gave Xuanzang the ring/headband to control Sun Wukong because of his wildness in JTTW, it would constrict if he got out of control, giving him great pain.

yeah, the last is Guan Yin. But with this I try to give my opinion about this story. I think Guan Yin comes to clear all and defeat evil orochi and his followers to make world to be peace in the last. do u think this is last orochi series?

Yep, definitely Guan Yin.



Definitely wishful thinking on my part as to having this on the 360... Japanese DLC isn't even available in my region aside from SW2:XL. :( really want to play as her...

Guan Yin, wasn't expecting her? Maybe Koei adds her for the sake of having one new male and one female!

Was hoping for Erlang or Nezha, oh well. Koei should add more from JTTW, or the should make a new game bases on JTTW completely. (well... they did it before) ^_^

Considering Guan Yin, it was reaaaly unorthodox to put her in. Good choice now that I read up on her.

Undoubtedly she'll have a dream stage with Sun Wukong.

And... I just checked the updated shots on the main site; Da Ji with Dodo and Guyki for a dream stage? Preeeety lame.

I agree that adding her is unorthodox, not only story/game wise but also marketing wise. I mean Guan Ying is one of the most sacred goddesses in Chinese culture and other Confucius influenced cultures like in Singapore etc. Some religious gamers might even get offended.

I took a screenshot of "Guan Ying" silhouette! Her design is kinda exotic in a way! :unsure:

I kinda agree with you there of the fact that making her playable might be a controversial issue esp for ppl who worshipped her. Still i doubt koei would give her an exotic costume due to her being a sacred goddess in Hinduism and Buddhism.

Her design is like Zhen Ji + Diao Chan + Kunoichi :lol:

Who is Guan Ying, This is a stupid question but is she related to Guan Yu :?:

I'm sure Koei got some consent from some people before hand to put her in this game the way she is.

No she's not related to Guan Yu! Although Guan Yu is semi-god in Chinese culture!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guan_Yin

@Xalfrea: I think it's totally up to Koei! They can portray her in any ways they want! But they have to deal with it afterward when controversy arises!

Guan Yin obviously isn't related to Guan Yu, just like how Sun Wukong is not related to the Wu Suns.

I dunno... with someone as important as Guan Yin, Koei probably did get at least some consent to portray her in Z. Of course, we can only assume until we get a full reveal.

Well...that was a surprise...us Chinese are not as easily offended with how our deities are portrayed so long as its not meant to be downright insulting. Guan Yu is prayed to as a god in many places and no one minds him in video games, toys, etc

Hmm... I guess that's true. But isn't Guan Yin a special case? After all, unlike Guan Yu, Guan Yin is a full, 100% religious icon...

*Tries to imagine if Zhang He was a deity...CONTROVERSY

Lol...we take it easy when it comes to depicting deities. Buddha is a 100% full religious icon too, and we have chibi ceramic Buddhas on springs bouncing up and down in cars. I have a little Guan Yu keychain that's actually a bell that dings whenever he moves XD

I'm prepared to swear I've even seen a plushie Guanyin. So as long as Koei doesn't turn her into an evil, sadistic torturer of kittens, the Goddess of Compassion is totally acceptable as a game character.

Guan Yin seems to fit the answer. Anyway, Gyuki and Dodomekki got new movesets as well.

well, KOEI has done it again by bantering semantics, they DID say they would "reveal" the new character at the end of the month, nothing about actually showing her to us.

i really hope she's sort of a serene older character and not some hopped up loli. more like a Noh, in reverse.

:hmmm: .....checks site... :mellow: ....checks koeiwarriors... :huh: .....didn´t Buddha put the ring on Sun Wukong to "control" him?.....checks board.....A female character? Deity? :o

AWESOME. But wasn´t it Buddha? :unsure: ...nah.

But where did you see that they have new movesets?
Are there videos, pics or anything on that site?

That woud make my day, cause I like those two, especially the boar :lol:

@foomin:

Well this shadow doesn´t seem to have aged that much.
And I guess she will be a bit like Sun Wukong(at least she looks like it)

EDIT:

What did she do in the novel?
Her Wikipedia profile didn´t even mention Sun Wukong. :(

Guan Yin equals EPICNESS.... The monkey(Sun Wukong) betta be ready to go dancing, cuz the tamer is here!!!

Retarded attempt at a joke i know, but seriously, i love the idea of "The Goddess of Mercy" Coming into a hack and slash era.
Can u imagine Jesus Zhang Jiao??? He'd be on his knees FOR SURE when he sees her.

it was a bodhisattva-"enlightened being" Quan Yin, knowing how difficult monkey was to control gave the ring to Xuanzang.

she's the Chinese goddess of compassion and mercy, and she despises war and conflict. she was sent to put the travellers on the correct path to Buddhist enlightenment. she'll be nothing like Sun Wukong. she's portrayed as a patient teacher for him.
