There are four characters left to be revealed, and it's 100% guaranteed one of those is going to be Hanzo. Any bets on the remaining three? I'm expecting Masayuki Sanada to make the cut, personally.

Is Hisahide in yet? He feels like an obvious addition in a Nobunaga-focused game.

As much as I like Masayuki, I feel like he got his chance to shine pretty hard in the series already, I wouldn't mind letting someone else take the stage.

Koei is having a publisher weekend. And jeeze, the AoT2 DLC upgrade is still 28 bucks, it just boggles my mind that I'll still be paying nearly 90 bucks total if I get it, which someone can get for 60 (or 42 bucks on sale right now)


Don't buy games at full price, or even within the first year, kids

Heck, they still want like $14 for all the old RTK PC games that don't even have English patches (despite having English console releases).

Right, the old RTK and Nobunaga's ambition games being on steam without english release despite having english versions on other platforms irks me so much.

Said aging is only for Nobunaga and Mitsuhide, however. And yeah, finally including Yasuke rules, his design kicks rear end.

I want these despite myself:

Wonder what the odds are of Ranmaru showing up in a future expansion/rerelease of SW5? Only major figure in Nobunaga's legend who presently seems to be missing. I mean, I can see why they cut him out if they're focusing on his cute anime romance with No and they've got Yasuke as his devoted personal retainer, but it still seems like a significant gap.

Darth Walrus
Feb 13, 2012
Incidentally, I feel like this and the upcoming Yasuke anime had some similar ideas for how they designed him - not a massive bruiser like in Nioh, but really tall and lanky:



In general, I really like SW5's new take on the character designs. They're idealised but grounded in a really cool way - just about everyone feels like they're from an exaggerated, fantastical version of the Sengoku Era where everyone is super cool and super pretty, as opposed to being refugees from a half-dozen unrelated genres and time periods.

Like, yeah, it's fun to have characters like Koshosho who are refugees from a magical disco dimension, but I feel like sticking to 'this is our aesthetic, and we will make it cool' helps the look of the game as a whole.

It seems the secret to your success is a combination of boundless energy and enthusiastic insolence...
Yasuke is an awesome choice, and as a basic idiot I am hype to see Hanzo and my boy Magoichi back. (Not like they weren't going to have Hanzo but still.)

The fact that his main moveset seems to be 'smashes people with giant knuckledusters' is just the icing on the cake. Totally up for Dynasty Warriors Muhammad Ali.

Knowing nothing about Gundam as I played the DW games I always thought that G Gundam was even more anime than it actually was and Master Asia was fighting Gundams with his bare hands in the series and that's why he was one of the big antagonists.
