The Dynasty/Samurai/Gundam/Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) Warriors thread

Fa Zheng of Shu joins the fray.

EX weapon: Linked clothing
Maybe something like Sanzang’s sleeve weapon from WO series.

I honestly did not expect Shu to get a new unique…considering they got 3 in Vanilla.
Koei are looking make Fa Zheng the “spirit of retribution” for Shu…meaning he won’t forget to pay back those who do good or bad.

I can see a new what-if scenario in the battle is Yiling where Fa Zheng survives…and Shu ultimately gets their payback.

New DLC for the 3 most popular DW characters…

Zhao Yun: Ibuki from Toukiden
Wang Yuanji: Rorona from Atelier Rorona
Xu Shu: Ritsu Kisaragi from La Corda d’Oro 3

BTW…the reason I haven’t gotten DW8 yet is because I’m waiting for it to drop in price. Also I have a backlog I would like to take care of first.

Infact…I might as well wait for the possible western announcement of DW8+XL.

I need to see gameplay of the new Shu strategist before i can judge

Fly666monkey · September 18, 2013, 9:23pm

So the new XL focuses on Lu Bu, eh?

So where is Lu Lingqi? We haven’t seen her in ages. The last time we saw her was in ROTK 11.

Opening to Musou Orochi 2 Ultimate…favorite part was Abe Seimei and his fox.

Preview of Unlimited Mode.

Koei Wiki:

A new addition focusing on a five man team. The overall goal is to have these characters survive various trials in order to escape a multi-leveled dungeon; if a character within the players’ team perishes, players may choose to wait for their natural resurrection or proceed onwards to the next level without them. Players cannot save until they have completed at least one level and difficulty gradually increases based on their progression. Co-op within this mode has two players control two characters within a single team with the freedom to swap with a single button tap; unused members are controlled by the AI.
Players may select a designated team formation for their party. Effects for this ability are reliant on the party’s character and composition, but players generally gain special bonuses or techniques when these formations are activated by at least three characters in their team. Certain techniques may yield different effects when used together. “Dragon spots” are scattered within each map, and they can either restore health, provide buffs, or warp the party to a different part of the map.

Weapons, levels, and experience earned within this mode can be kept for other modes. An option to further strengthen weaponry can be accessed within this mode via rare materials collected from treasure chests throughout the battlefield. These chests may be laden with various traps. Materials can be earned by completing missions given by a female mystic at the main camp.

Changed my mind…I really want this game to come stateside.

I hope Chen Gong plays better than it looks. Right now i’m not really impressed by either of their weapons and gameplay…

Ranmaru better return as an actual character in SW4 and not a side character.

Word is that there tweets from the producer saying that they are likely going to localize Shin Gundam Musou for the EU/NA…but those tweet have since been deleted. I’ll be taking this as a grain of sweetener.

The game will also support custom soundtracks.
