Oh yeah, Dong Bai! My favourite game of ROTK13 was when I played Dong Bai. Turned on Dong Zhuo and betrayed him to his death, then abandoned my cities and became a legendary bandit queen who'd go around loving up whoever I thought had gotten too big for their britches. Northern China must have been a wasteland for generations after I was gone. It'll be cool to play her again.

Edit: also, after looking at the link I'm gratified to discover Yuan Shu looks almost exactly like the custom officer I made for him in DW8E. Just a little less fat, hell yeah.

Article detailing the NPCs

Commenter on that Gematsu article posted:

No there is a difference. In historical records Cao Pi had an actual courtship with Zhen Ji. In every historical records that isn't romance of the three kingdoms which is really stylized propaganda the records say that Zhang Fei raped Xiahouji and portray it as a tragedy.

Jesus Christ... :gonk:

I guess apart from that, we've got Dong Zhou's granddaughter, one of Dong Zhou's retainers, and Yuan Shao's cousin (Yuan Shu sound familiar to me, but I can't figure out if I'm mixing up his name with someone else's, or if he was critical in one of the missions in DW8). That...disappointing.

I would think if you were going to expand the character roster, you'd want to feature someone who had a prominent role, like Gongsun Zan, Wen Qin, or someone who was a focal point on some of major events.

Well, it finally happened. The Nintendo Warriors DLC system crossed over into Dynasty Warriors. I hold all of you who bought Hyrule/Fire Emblem Warriors season passes in contempt. :colbert:


So from the sounds of things they're going to use DLC to re-introduce new weapon styles back into the game, that's pretty much what I expected. On the surface I actually don't mind that this happened, so long as an Xtreme Legends doesn't happen (or if it does it's a glorified GOTY Edition that includes the Season Pass). If they're asking $20-30 US on top of an XL expansion then that's kind of messed up.

I got really confused thinking Link and Zelda were gonna be in DW9 until I read this post like 3 times.

7:E made him the default user of the short pike that they later gave to Han Dang. IIRC they gave a few generics pre-loaded created characters. I'm pretty sure Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng were sporting semi-unique appearances.

Yeah, I say "Shit" a shit-ton of times. What of it, shithead?
He had a special CAW in DW7 Empires but that's about it. It's hilarious that this comes aftwr he had a big role in 8XL, though I'm still laughing at the fact the final boss for Lu Bu was just two generics.

Endorph

Koei always seems to add generics like one or two games after they're relevant. Chen Gong was a big part of DW6's Lu Bu story and he didnt get added until they decided to repeat that but worse in DW8.

Zhang He's costume and moves look very lame.
I'd be fine with him losing his signature weapon along with everyone else but that chainmail doesn't fit him at all and none of his moves make him sprout butterfly wings or anything.

It's basically the content we'd usually see in an XL version so not too bad.

Doesn't feel like a must buy given the content of the base game though.

If that's DW9's opening it's a bit disappointing. They've been ramping up the ridiculousness of the openings each year and this one feels a bit tame in comparison.

The VA isn't that bad, sheesh. What they should be making fun of is how everyone that does these gameplay videos always sucks rear end at the simplest game. They don't mix up the attacks, they don't pick up the drops, they spend a ton of time just staring at the menus and not doing anything. And they'll just swing at nothing or stand still for periods of time.

Seriously though I want the Chinese VA that the Chinese release is getting. I actually enjoyed RoTK 13 having that option, makes it feel a bit more authentic which I realize is silly to ask for in a Warriors game but we don't get Chinese dubs that often in games!

Found another video that shows off some more of the voicework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pHiDDi4sbQ

Lu Bu sounds...off.

Watching this, I think what's bothering me about the English VA is that apart from it being a step back from the dub of DW8, the voices are all sort flat. I know the comparisons been made to the DW3-era of dubbing, but that was entertaining moreso in that regard that the VAs didn't know how to pronounce the names properly ("You must remember this, Cow Cow!"), and it seemed like they were trying to over-embellish. From what we've seen of DW9, it just seems pretty rote, it almost sounds like one guy doing all the voices, and not putting a lot of effort into it.
