I'd be all for a Tachibana or Date game. Date would be my preference soley for the cool characters they have, but a Tachibana game gives me Sorin and can be Kyushu-centric, which is an absolute plus

and suddenly the next SW spinoff turned out to be a Tsuruhime game instead :haha:

would've been a riot if that were true.

I still wonder what led Sengoku BASARA to add such a random out of place character to their roster. But hey, SB was always wtf in almost everything.

Though if we're being honest, they could easily take a random character and make a great game centered around that character because it can give them more freedom.

Yeah, Kyushu needs some love, I understand the Shimazu getting focus because they win in the end, but it still bothers me how they used to treat the Tachibana as the "heroes" and suddenly ignored them afterwards.

I think people are forgetting the ENTIRE reason we got Sanadamaru was as a tie-in for last year's Taiga drama.

This year's is Naotora. So if we get another character-based one it's gonna be about her. It's pointless to speculate otherwise.

I personally just think that's overkill to dedicate an entire game to the Ii clan ...

I understand the Sanada focus: the separate story in SW4, the Taiga drama tie-in, etc. but Naotora and Naomasa really don't stand out as needing or warranting a game dedicated to their story. Perhaps as DLC, but not as a stand-alone game.

Just my uneducated opinion, of course :P

Ii-centered game also will be a Tokugawa-centered game - and that's the only chance for them to got one, since Tokugawa aren't popular enough to sell the game on their own.

The only reason they wanted the game to be released together with the drama was likely because they wanted to make use of the drama for advertisement. Now that they already released a solo Clan game, they have no need of said advertisement, as the game Sanada-maru should advertise any other solo Clan game. Besides the clans themselves aren't in the same level of importance to be treated in the same way.

If the Tokugawa get a game centered on them, Ieyasu will become a pretty boy.

Nah, if he will be revamped, it will be manly man. I can hardly imagine Jouji Nakata voicing a typical pretty boy and Koei won't replace him, due to the all serious promotion they've done with him, like him being present at Sekigahara festival or making him a museum narrator, etc.

Tubbytada will be the younger version for Ieyasu. HE SHOULD'VE NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

But yeah...chances are high he'll get bishie'd and I'm NOT looking forward to it. But all in all i'm looking forward to Iimaru because of Otatsu..

But if they make a tie in with the next Taiga drama they would have double the promotion again, so there is no reason to not do it, especially since Naotora is a popular character. The only problem would be that Naotora's current design and personality are not suitable for carrying a whole lot of plot (well, aside from the PLOT), so she'd need a rewamp and the fans would be up in arms. Also, what would one call such a clan story? Ii-easu Tokugawa Den? :hehe:

well, they also have Tsuruhime in SW4(hence why i said the next SW spinoff, that's not a typo), so it can't be THAT Random if KT followed suit some year after SB introduced her to the gaming world...

As far as I remember, Tsuruhime was in SW1 or SW2 as a bodyguard. And I'm not sure if she appeared in the previous NA games, but she was in SOI.

But isn't every SW game a Tokugawa centered one? Ieyasu is always prominent from start to finish and there isn't a way for the story to ever get around that.

Part of why I'm against a possible Li game is because I consider it to be artistically bankrupt. The Li have nothing aside from a downright shameless amount of Moe so its just a retelling of Ieyasu's tale but with the focus on the Moe blob rather than the one who's actually doing all the important stuff. It would be popular with a very specific crowd but that's the only thing it has going for it and even that is pretty cynical.

It's kinda off-topic, but PLEASE, can you stop calling Ii clan "Li"? I'm not sure whether you're joking about it or not, but still: if you're not - it's Ii (double i), and if you are - sorry, this joke got old ages ago.

Well, when Naotora was first announced, a lot of English-speaking people were confused (same story happened with the first Kessen, BTW). At first people simply were correcting it, but eventually people got so tired from this mistake, that it started to trigger some of them. And because of that, as you can imagine, some people started doing this mistake for purpose.
Well, if it's an honest mistake, then it doesn't matter.

EDIT: Lol, Ieyasu's voice actor congratulated everyone with a new year... while being dressed in Yukimura's armor:

And some fans suggested that he should cosplay Basara's Ieyasu :XD

You know that an Ii game isn't confirmed and is complete speculation. Treating it like it's a sure thing in this thread is going to mislead people just as badly as people in the Dynasty Warriors 9 thread making fake leaks.

Didn't Koinuma make a joke about it? Something like, "Oh, there's going to be an Ii drama out next year, right? Maybe its time we did a game about them."

I wouldn't call it a confirmation, but I can see why people might be jumping to conclusions.

Wasn't Naotora like 12th place in character popularity in SW4? So.... did her popularity increased or stayed the same?

I think the company has consider her top priority in the SW series.

Not enough to have a game centered around her. If anything, they could make a game about Gracia, she was the most popular female, and she could have great stories around her, as well as good characters.

The game has been released for quite some time now.

And there won't be a Naotora game. They won't release a SW game very year, especially if it's based on the same graphic engine and has the same gameplay as SW4.

The series will sleep for quite some time now until SW5 which will use the graphic engine of DW9 meaning they will probably have to remake all the assets from scratch.

I know it has in Japan, but I want to know a Western release date.

I also agree that the series will be put aside for some time now. In my opinion the SW4 series is one of the best Musou games out there and I look forward to SW5 (in like 4 years).

All we know at this point is that it's coming to the West in 2017, but we don't know its official title or more specific release date yet.
