Wow, Lu Xun's new attack animations are hard to keep track of visually sometimes. It's awesome though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbCB1QNig0Y Also, Koei got (relatively) smart, they just attached youtube videos of everyone's attack animations through the official page. Just click on the button that says ムービー on each character's page. http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/smusou7/#characters

How did I get this long without realizing that the story mode in 8 is branching? Holy poo poo that's a lot of story mode content. Shu alone has an alternate ending that is like five stages deep.

SirPhoebos posted:So I just saw a youtube clip from the 2010 'Three Kingdoms' series in which Zhang Fei punches out a horse (like Blazing Saddles except completely serious According to DW7:Empires, Zhang Fei once stood on a bridge, shouted, and scared off a million enemy soldiers. I knew about the bridge thing from previous DW games but I swear they all used to say he "held off 1000 soldiers", not "shouted so loud one million soldiers ran away".

DW7 also said that he shouted and scared them off, but I don't remember the number of enemy soldiers that went with that.

The 'gave a powerful shout, scaring off a million of Cao Cao's troops' thing has been in the ingame Encyclopedia as far back as I can remember.

The book goes even further by saying that his roar managed to kill one of the enemy commanders by frightening him to death. Which pretty much cemented Zhang Fei as one of my favorite characters of all time.

I really like how they improved his design, and that moveset looks fun too. Also I like what they did with Xing Cai's moveset (keeping it mostly the same, but everything seems to have much better range), especially that ground musou. Playing her in DW7 it felt like they didn't quite give the Sword and Shield what it deserved.

I was just having a brief look at that site with the characters on and realised who doesn't get enough love - Lu Meng. Wu have always been my favourite kingdom but as far as story goes, Wei are generally the "evil" guys, Shu are "good", and Wu sorta gets left out. I guess they are too cool for labels.

So if I want to get into Dynasty warriors 7 for the PS3, should I get XL, or wait for empires? Gameplay wise are they similar or are they different styles of games?

Consider the base 7, instead of XL on its own. The in-battle gameplay is largely the same between 7, XL, and Empires. 7 for the storylines and Conquest mode (basically challenge stages). XL for the extras it added, but it requires the base game for story mode and Conquest mode. Empires for the character creation and strategy gameplay.

I was given the advice: "Get 7, then XL if you like 7 enough" and it worked for me, so I recommend going that route, too. XL is an expansion, you get the most out of it once you've played regular 7 to death (which will take awhile). Empires is a separate thing. It doesn't seem to recognize or use any of my save data from DW7. It's like a big "what if" using the characters of DW where you try to take over all of China. The battles are slightly different, too. You have to take over bases on the map leading up to the main enemy camp, then either take that over or defeat the enemy commander. In between battles you do some basic sim stuff to build up your kingdom/character.

I haven't played it at all. Got to the character select and decided that I needed to unlock way more people before giving it a go, though now that I've got Han Dang I'm probably set. Looking forward to reading what you think of it. Just got to Fan Castle on the Wu side and you were so right about Lu Xun's moves, wow. Cao Cao does the clone thing too but in a totally different way, mostly hanging back and looking cool while his clone murders people.

DW8 absolutely destroys its predecessors in variety and fun of the attack animations. Basically the only boring moveset left is Sun Quan's sword, but he has that musou attack where he sticks the sword in the enemy and then they explode so that makes it relatively ok. The best example so far is Zhuge Dan, who now has what looks like a collapsing police baton, complete with a bunch of police-looking grapple attacks like arm locks and stuff, one of which ends in an EX attack where he shocks them. Police brutality and tasers in 200ad China, awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJpGV8F1NSw edit: oh and an elbow drop because why the hell not.

The problem for Sun Quan is that his dad was the patriarch guy while his older brother did the conquering; in contrast all Sun Quan has to show for his tenure militarily is essentially Chibi (Zhou Yu), Hefei (read: Zhang Liao going for his head), the recapture of Jing Province (combined effort with Cao Cao's forces) and Yiling (Lu Xun). Hell, in the 2010 series the first thing he does upon Sun Ce's death and Zhou Yu's return is offer to abdicate in Zhou Yu's favor and instead serve as one of Zhou Yu's officers... because after a slip of the tongue by Cheng Pu (about calling Zhou Yu back to assume the leadership) Sun Quan believes that the officers would eventually side with Zhou Yu and he wants to protect Wu from any succession conflict -- the same reason that Da Qiao leaves for exile with her son by Sun Ce, so that there would be no hint of a succession conflict with Sun Quan (or Zhou Yu).

In one of my games the planets aligned and had each prominent member of the Sun family have their own kingdom. Xiang's kingdom conquered them all by the end. I guess maybe she should have ruled Wu!
