Does it even have persistent characters i thought it was the same deal as uhhh 3 I think where you just create your party semi-classic wrpg style. I ask because I'm playing 4&5 maaaybe 6 in anticipation of DQH and I could work 9 in I guess. I bought a ps4 primarily for a musou game that may not ever come out here because I'm stupid, to answer in advance the question that you'd like to answer my question with.

You start with one character you create and eventually get three more party members, also created by you. You can (and will probably need to) change your characters' classes over the course of the game, but they'll stay in your party unless you kick them out.

So would you guys say that the game is worth getting right now, or should we wait if more patches are incoming?

If you're certain you want it, you may as well get it now. It has no issues that I've seen and is a lot of fun.

Well I can already speak of one bug:

I went through the gallery to hear Sima Yi's new lines. Nowhere near as impactful as the original Sima Yi (R.I.P.), but then I went to his enemy officer defeated line and...heard a Cao Cao line.

Then I went to Cao Cao's enemy officer defeated line and it sounded like Sima Yi grumbling about something??

I haven't played as anyone yet but I hope this is just a gallery bug and not a real mixup...

Edit: Oh yeah, huge voice mixup. Zhang Jiao has the voice of Lianshi or someone.

Not as strong as you'd expect.
Not especially. They've tried their hand at the MMO bit previously. Taking this tack with Empires kinda makes sense given the create-a-character and open nature.

If (really, when) they make a Samurai Warriors 4: Empires which formula will they follow? 3: Empires never came out in the US and if I recall correctly that game did some fairly different things.

Well that's interesting. That says PS+ gets Empires mode too. I wonder what will be different from the FtP and the retail versions? I've been on the fence at the moment and this will definitely get me to hold off.

The only way to transfer created characters from 7: Empires to 8 is via the FtP game, for some reason. It won't matter to most people, but for spergs like me with 200 or so created character in 7 Empires, it's a reason to delay getting the game.

Also, Koei on twitter have acknowledged the audio issues and have passed it on to the dev team, so hopefully we'll get fixes soon.

The first thing the game asked me after it created system data was if I wanted to import my 7:E characters, so I'm not sure where that comes from.

I haven't played yet but it sounds like the voice overs are still all messed up as well. Is there a way to just turn off VO until they get it sorted out? If that's the only issue, I'm fine with that.

Yeah I also have my characters ported successfully, and I didn't even know about the FtP game, so that's an unfounded statement.

Is there a guide to how to earn different Ways of Life in Empires 8? There's nothing in game that I can find and some of these are pretty esoteric, like Humble Retainer is most easily gotten by using the rest command for two years.

Picked up 8E for PS4, had 7E on PS3 but that was on a different PS3. Ah well, no data import for me. Made a couple of NJPW guys real quick though.

Does 8E let other people's CAWs into your game like 7E did? I want my Swagsuke running around the world and looking fabulous, and I also want as many He Mans and Hung Dongs running around my game as possible :getin:

After watching DQH for awhile, and playing a bunch of HW, it really feels like Koei is heading towards something really special in the next few years.

The right mix of brand and refined gameplay could create something totally amazing, they're right there on the edge of it now.

Something Monster Hunterish in depth, but far, far more approachable.

Is DW8E really easy or am I crazy? I started off as a free officer, got two dudes to join my vagabond kingdom and then usurped another kingdom like four quests later. Seems like I can pretty much invade and claim any region I want to without much trouble on the actual battlefield part. The only time I've come close to dying really was when somebody managed to do Cover Fire before I figured out what was happening.

It's fun jumping on a soldier's back and surfing him into scores of enemies but I feel like my created officer unit started off way overpowered or something.

The difficulty picks up a bit as time passes, but... not much. I'd honestly recommend playing on at least Hard at all times if you don't want to steamroll everything.

Playing DW8XL and the Battle of Fan Castle for Wu in the story mode is ridiculous.

Am I supposed to just let them flood the castle out and defend Cao Ren? I'm good enough to stop the flood, but by the time Guan Yu shows back up - both Cao Ren and the other guy are swarmed by enemy generals and don't survive long enough.

Now the Drums beat up again,

I said gently caress it, played the other game modes and ambition mode and leveled the poo poo out of the Wu heroes in that stage before coming back.

It certainly makes it a lot easier.

Are weapon drop rates better on higher difficulties in DW8e? Because I basically beat my first play through before I saw a single drop.

Also, apparently one way to get the Little Conqueror title is to becomes the Tyrant of Chaos, then don't lose any land for five years and make 8 regions happy. I believe I got Tyrant of Chaos because I was constantly at war because no one was giving me a chance to do anything else, so my people were miserable. Also, i earned a lot of evil titles while a merc and decided to execute a bunch of generics when I first became a ruler just to snag that title.

The Little Conqueror tactic is amazing, by the way.

Only time I found it difficult on normal was when I tried to raise my banners and earn the 20000 troop deficit title. Wasn't able to pull it off early game but it was a piece of cake once I had some real tactics.
