maybe they can make a Samurai Ramen partnership with Maruchan. Have some Shimazu Shrimp or Chosokabe Chicken.

Chosokabe is a man of sea, having a Chicken dish named after him is an insult :rolleyes:

oh wait, this is SW Chosokabe, so it's not that much of a problem :doge:

Wow, I couldn't ask for a better Chacha design than this. Much satisfaction! Now if her personality has her being teasing and/or manipulative, then all the better!

Also, considering the kind of game Sanadamaru is going to be, it's quite possible that Chacha is going to be a full story-important NPC. Not a fighter, but someone to help drive the story. Only a possibility though, it's just as likely Koei will give her some form of unarmed fighting as a playable character.

But with eiketsuden it's happening with a completely made up non-historical character, so it's not too strange that lixia isn't playable. I wouldn't expect the same of chacha who is a historical figure.

As for her personality, I know it's silly to go off of, but she seems to have a pretty fierce face in spite of being so pretty, I could take that as a sign of her being pretty manipulative. I mean I know she had a pretty tragic life, but I hope she owns it rather than is defeated by it, but somehow looking at her I get the feeling that won't be a problem, She looks like the stubborn type. Which would make her the opposite of Oichi?

There is no reason to add Chacha as a NPC, she is much too important, even more than some other females, to not be playable, specially in the events of Sanada-maru. Also, comparing Masayuki and Chacha to Lei Bin and Lixia is silly, to say the least, Masayuki and Chacha are characters who have great importance and contribution to the overall story of their franchise and can be reused after SWSM, while Lei Bin and Leixia are, respectively, a character that has no reason to exist except maybe returning in WO and a character that barely has a reason to exist and has no reason to be playable.

I don't think Chacha will be an NPC. I actually think that would make more sense personally, but I'm pretty sure KOEI will want to have at least one new female playable character. I think that's going to be Chacha unless they have Senhime or Akihime planned as well.

Who exactly is Sen? Samurai Warriors 4: Empires has 4 generic CAW females named "Sen". Also, Aki has more chance of being NPC than Chacha (if she is added). She would have little purpose besides adding to Yukimura's character and doesn't seem to have any historical importance.

At least we're not talking about another game inspired by the same theme, that miss a freemode unfortunatly ...

:doge:


I guess there'll be 2 more new characters (playable). But I'll be fine with an older nobuyuki.

If chacha was npc in the story she'd probably be playable in free mode anyway, like the rest of the sw4 cast. I remember that was one of the first things said

There are two Sen's that I know of, one was Ikeda Sen who was the daughter of Tsuneoki Ikeda, brother of Terumasa Ikeda, and husband to a relative of Ranmaru Mori and then Hajime Nakamura. She lead her own all female gunner squads under her brother at Komaki-Nagakute and Shizugatake.

The other Sen was Sen tokugawa, oftentimes known as Senhime, she was Hideyori's wife and Hidetada and Oeyo or Go's(Chacha's sister) daughter, whom was married to Hideyori at 7 years old in 1603. She married a member Honda Tadatoki in 1616.

A legend says a guy named Naomori tried to rescue Senhime from the siege on Osaka castle as Ieyasu promised whomever saved her would get to marry her, however Sen turned him away because of the burn he suffered to his face while rescuing her. Instead she chose the handsome Tadatoki.

So, why people would want this ******* in the game? I mean, sure, she ties the Toyotomi and the Tokugawa in the events of Ōsaka, but, much like Hideyori, she is only there at Ōsaka.

There are a lot of legends about Senhime. That's the only real reason. Another legend is that she rescued some people during the siege. In terms of why to add her, it would be mainly playing up her mythological persona and her ties to some of the most famous people of the era.

I'm biased because I like her in Sengoku Rance.

by the way, I'm not advocating for chacha, senhime or akihime. I just am saying that one of those three if not all were guaranteed to be in this title given the sanada and presumably osaka focus.

Have they explored Nobiyuki's involvement in this game?

I'd find it odd that Nobuyuki won't have variants of his own............
Nothing has been said of Nobuyuki so it's pretty safe to assume that it's being saved for a later reveal. If it were simply a matter of 'we're not doing anything with him' that's one of the things we'd have known about by now.

Yeah. Unless they make Masamunemaru, i think it'll be quite a while to get his young design & bokken back.


Well I think if you have to keep the 'maru' suffix (for no reason, this game is clearly named after the Sanada Maru) his kid name was Botenmaru.

The right thing would be calling it Date Maru.

I'd imagine something like "Legend of Dokuganryu" would be much more fitting for a Masamune-centric game, since it's like his nickname and all.

Game that dedicated to Date sounds like fun, at least to me.
No Sen (don`t need this crap), No Aki (for god`sake no!)... but maybe there is slim chance for Matsu( Yeah, man may hope.

I'd say it should be called "Sengoku Musou: Dokuganryuu Masamune", since that was the name of Masamune's Taiga drama (starring Ken Watanabe).

LOL.

Then we'll have Sanada Maru Xtreme Legends, featuring that one UNPC turning playable.

Not to mention, the anime was kind of teasing a Hideyori x Kai thing so it could translate over here

I don't see that happening here, as in opposite to Eiketsuden Koei's actually putting effort in the game. Eiketsuden was their laziest game ever (and man, did I made fun of it!) but that's not the case for Sanada Maru.

For now we don't know how many characters, but I thinking around at least 5 characters, including two of the reveal. Unless they decide to go more than that, then I think that they are consider "new" for Samurai Warriors 5.

Cha Cha's weapon is most likely under determine until they reveal it via Famitsu Magazine or... trailers. I was thinking something sneaky like similar to Nouhime.

I'd say 5 new characters seems a bit unlikely, but possible. If it's only one more new character I think Matabei & Morichika have quite high chances.
