A word of advice to anyone who's addicted to Dynasty Warriors: play DW Online. Nothing will cure your addiction faster than that endless, context-free tedium.

The Empires games usually let you create your own officer. Samurai Warriors had it as part of the main game, along with a kind of bizarre 'training school' where a bunch of minigames determined your initial stats.

Could you max out your stats (within starting limits) by just doing really good on all of them?

Anyway, does anyone else remember when Sun Jian said "Mmmm, great!" and often find themselves congratulating people with the same phrase?

Last edit: Does anybody else feel like Dynasty Warriors should end with 7? It's the first game where they went through the entire plot of ROTK, not to mention the finality of the Cheng Du battle and the accompanying song.

I wonder if they just never put the Sima clan in before because of the difficulty of making a family of smug usurpers sympathetic in any way.

Dynasty Warriors won't end until they have mapped through the history of China and literally made every person in Chinese military history a playable character.

EDIT: By the way, Sun Tzu should be a secret unlockable one of these days.

What? Isn't everyone playable in Dynasty Warriors still from the Three Kingdoms era?

I think it was just the overall sense of "oh welp there's no real story in the novel after Zhuge Liang's death except Jiang Wei failing forever" that a bunch of other depictions tended to conclude the story at/with; even the 2010 live-action series ends things with Zhuge Liang's death in the penultimate episode followed by the series finale "Sima Yi's Death", which concludes with exactly that.

Sima Yi's death? That seems like a strange place to stop, since it was right in the middle of the Simas' ascendancy. But maybe it would make more sense if I saw it.
