Empires and XL are two different experiences, can’t really say that one is superior to the other.
Finally playing SW4 myself.
I am instantly a huge fan of Kai, holy crap she is so funny/awesome/ADORABLE.
Oh and the game is cool too. I haven’t played SW since 2(and even then only played that a bit) so I really like the improvements. Only issue I have with the game is that Hyper characters feel a little too same-y, and just in general several characters just aren’t distinguished enough. Some are pretty interesting though, it feels like BASARA made them feel like it’s ok to add some of the crazier weapons and start having full on magic casting characters and the like.
Still, I play Magoichi and like, he is quite cool in SW4 but man, he isn’t anywhere near as interesting to play as BASARA Magoichi.
One thing I will say though SW females>BASARA females. Kai, Naotora, Kunoichi, Ina, Nene, etc. etc.

random SW4 and WO3:U thought:
In SW4, Gracia stay popping out of nowhere and Mitsuhide be like, “My, bad.”
In WO3:U, Masamune Date, Sima Shi, with Zhang Jiao’s help, free Gracia from her "predicament."
In an alternate scenario, it would’ve been funny if Mitsuhide showed up and was like, “No, don’t do it!/What have you done?!” lol.
no Robin gameplay vids for OP?
also, why is it you can roll/evade in samurai warriors games but you cant roll/evade in dynasty warriors games?
do the Chinese NOT know how to do a simple roll evasion?
???
is roll still in SW? I thought they took it out after 1? (or maybe 2?)
Only thing I can really say roll was useful for in SW was when SW1 had castle stages. Used to dodge arrow traps and other crap flying around. Otherwise it was kinda just there.
Makes me wonder why they took those castle stages out in the first place. Those were fun.
I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to get the rare weapons in SW4.
If it’s not enough KOs…it’s not enough time.
Honestly I found it faster to get them in Chronicle mode. It takes a bit of time to get there, but once you do, you can get 2 rare weapons for every rare weapon mission, and they are pretty easy.
Really…at what point during Chronicle Mode will I be able to acquire them?
If I can get 2 rare weapons in one mission…does that mean I don’t need to be a specific character to get them?
Edit: Nevermind…found it.
Guess I’ll grind out Chronicle mode then.
yeah, whatever weapon your create a character is holding and whatever partner you have are both going to get rare weapons.

Dynasty Warriors producer Akihiro Suzuki on the series so far:
I’m glad that Susuki wants to keep the 1 vs 1,000…still I am interested to see what Omega Force will do.
I was one of the few people that really enjoyed the Renbu system from DW6.
If the PC version ends up being a watered down version of the console versions…I’m gonna pass.
I don’t like that Omega Force cut online features from the PC versions of DW8:CE and DW8 Empires…yet charge regular retail price on Steam.
Right. The Renbu system had a lot of potential going for it, but it failed due to the game going to “spamming the square button” combos and every other character having the same weapon and moveset. A good way to make it work would be to keep the Rank 1 - Rank 4 thing, but have it where Rank 1 works like it did in 6, Rank 2 gave you a sort of DW5 moveset, Rank 3 gave you a Warriors Orochi moveset with the special abilities and move cancelling and Rank 4 would be something really crazy to make the movesets fresh and innovative to keep it from getting repetitive.
Oh wow…I am actually surprised KT is bringing this game to the west.
Going to look out for it.
Double posting…bleh.
Another thing I think hindered DW6 was the trimming of the roster…I still remember the outcry when Daqiao was not in the DW6 lineup.
Samurai Warriors 4-II coming to the West for PS family and Steam…and Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 coming to the west for PS Vita and 3DS.
Samurai Warriors 4-II - Announcement Trailer
Fucking finally, the formula has been stale for years. Gonna be watching closely to see where this goes, and hopefully he’s not just blowing smoke.
Renbu was straight garbage.
Renbu was fine. It’s everything else that plagued DW6 that made Renbu look like trash.
and I was one of the few who outcried for Da Qiao.
Renbu was hella basic but when characters were maxed out and could actually go through all the ranks, the system opened up more. Also didn’t help that musou was basically Renbu on roids.
What I don’t want coming back though is everyone using any weapon. Defeats the purpose of playing a favorite character. Now everyone does the same BS outside of a few special charge move followups and musous. That’s my biggest pet peeve for 7 and 8.
If this is confirmed and true…I may just get SW4-2 on Steam.
