Yeah I did, it can be hard, but just do yourself a favor and use the Darkness Halberd with a 100 Attack and another Darkness weapon that’s of the Speed category with both of them having Synergy, Elemental Attack Up, Officer Assassin, etc. Also you have to save the officers in a somewhat specific order since some die faster than the others.
Han Dang, Zhou Tai, and Xiaoqiao
[details=Spoiler]
Wu Veteran Han Dang debuts the roster…uses Short Pike.
Where is Cheng Pu?[/details]
Taishi Ci
Ding Feng and Yuan Shao
[details=Spoiler]
Ding Feng uses the Ring Blade from DW7:E…and Yuan Shao is decloned to something called the stretch Rapier.[/details]
Dong Zhuo, Diaochan, and MUTHAFUCKIN LU BU!!!
[details=Spoiler]
Dong Zhuo keeps the bomb moveset from Empires…[/details]
I love how Xiaoqiao’s outfit looks a bit more mature this time around, I’m also digging how it also has a “modern” flair to it as well.
Diaochan’s outfit looks like it took a page from DW5 this time around while maintaining the overall look that her DW7 outfit had.
Taishi Ci’s armor looks boss, I think this looks like his best outfit yet.
Zhou Tai, not bad, though I need a better look at it to make a better judgement, however his DW5 outfit will always be my favorite. :lovin:
Ding Feng kind of looks plain, though like with Zhou Tai, I need a better look at it as well.
Yuan Shao seems to have armor again like with his previous outfits, also looks more golden, not bad.
Lu Bu having some sort of a demonic face as chest armor is new to me, pretty sick. :tup:
And Koei seems to love making Dong Zhuo look more round with every game now. 
No opinion on Han Dang (who?) though, I was expecting Cheng Pu as well. So far it looks like they’re adding gruff men for Wu haha. As for Wei, I hope they add Yu Jin in order to complete Wei’s Five Generals. 
My only gripe about Xiaoqiao are those puffy shorts she wears…I can’t seem to ignore them.
Yeah me too, they sort of bug me. :lol:
I guess Koei wants to remind us that she’s more loli than her older sister.
I think they already did that in SB3: Utage. It was Japan only though. But I’m done with Capcom, plus I don’t count on Basara series ever coming stateside again. They didn’t push SB3 enough, and I felt it was rather weak besides the revamped gameplay, and definitely not as good overall as past Basaras. New characters/story was ok, but not strong or interesting enough to carry a title that killed off many favorites while the rest became NPC. Every past character should’ve been in, even if just for free mode. Also, the extra modes from SB2H.
It was a big mistake to release Utage as what SB3 should have been anyway. And then not even make it available to NA market. Which is how I knew Capcom gave minimal fucks to the success of localizing this franchise.
I’m not checking for Basara anymore in general until the release a SBXX. SBX was insanely broken, but fun as hell. With a bigger roster and balance changes, it could’ve been very popular in the states as well. But either way, judging by current success of franchise in Japan, it’s the perfect time for an SBXX.
Oh, I don’t care if it doesn’t come over or not, I imported Utage and played it even though my 270 hours of SB3 didn’t transfer. It didn’t have online though, and 8 of the 15 characters didn’t have full move sets, alt. costumes, or different looking weapons. I think the best thing about SB3 was the combat, but I feel that alone put it near SB2:H as far as an overall package.
A lot of characters could have been in it, though some can’t because of misc. reasons. Hideyoshi died in story, Itsukis VA died, etc.
Minor update…
Yue Ying
[details=Spoiler]
Wow…this new outfit looks great. Kind of matches her famous husand’s getup.[/details]
Xu Shu
[details=Spoiler]
Nothing new…but hoping for a hooded option.[/details]
Wei Yan
Character gameplay vids will start rolling out this week.
As I expected…DLC from DW7 series will not work with DW8.
Wei Yan looks like the Ultimate Warrior, and I fucking love it.
Yueying looking more classy, I love it. :lovin:
It looks like they’re took some inspiration from Wei Yan’s DW3 and DW4 design to make his DW8 one.
And as expected, Xu Shu looks like he hasn’t changed a bit.
Haha Wei Yan looks like a badass. I love it.

So…does Zhou Yu not have a musou attack?
I’m pretty sure he still does? I guess Koei finds his EX Attack cooler? :lol:
And figures they’d use the same animations from DW7 for those who didn’t get decloned/new weapons, since DW7 is looking more like a beta to DW8 with these vids.
Basically explains how Haki works in Pirate Warriors 2.
I’m not sure what Haki is…but I’m guessing that it gives a boost to certain abilities?
Not everyone will have the Haki ability…instead they’ll have style actions.
Yue Ying’s new outfit is awesome. Best one yet for her in the series. (previous fave was DW6)
Han Dang? The fuck is Cheng Pu Koei?
Diao Chan pretty as always. Can’t deny that.
everyone else looks meh or nothing overall interestingly new.
DW8 roster update…
Wen Yang and Zhuge Dan
[details=Spoiler]
Zhuge Dan uses some sort of steel rod weapon now…and Wen Yang uses a unique spear.
Supposedly Wen Yang is tall in the game.[/details]
Huang Zhong, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Lianshi, and Sun Quan
Spoiler

Pang Tong gets a new weapon…which makes Zhang Jiao decloned.
Closer look of Lianshi and Sun Quan
Omega Force is really going out of their way to declone all the playable character’s movesets as much as possible.
Decloned Zhuge Dan? Very nice.
Wasn’t Wen Yang one of the people who opposed Sima Shi somewhere in the middle of Jin’s campaign?
Lianshi’s outfit looks like her alternative outfit that came with DW7XL but reveals more cleavage and leg.
Everybody else’s looks kind of meh to me, but good job to OF for trying to declone the characters.
Also Cryoh, my cousin who barely uses his PS3 deactivated my account on his so you’re free to add my account again.
Apparently Wen Yang, his brother, and his father Wen Qin opposed Sima Shi and chilled with Wu for a time (hoping for a red alt color scheme for Yang)…but later was able to return to Jin because he opposed Zhuge Dan killing his father.
Also Wen Yang gave Shi such a headache during the reballion because he basically went train on 100 or so of Shi’s generals by himself…and was such a pain in the ass for Shi that his eye popped out. (Wen Yang the Bullet Dodger)
Sima Zhao wanted to kill Yang…but Zhong Hui convinced him to spare Yang’s life and make him a general of Jin.
