Question for those who have DW8Vita, does it have the Japanese voices as an option, or is it all English all the time?

I don't see an option to change voices anywhere, so it looks like English only. Haven't TK released Japanese voice packs as DLC for previous games? I might be mixing up my games/series though.

Speaking of DLC, any word on stage or costume DLC for 8XL on Vita? All I can find online are vague "coming soon" blurbs. I'd like to take advantage of the "extra EXP for wearing DLC costumes" bonus while it's running, but I kinda need to be able to buy them first.

Alright i will use Lu Bu, since out of all the characters i have played with he is the absolutely most insane.

If you're having trouble with the keeping your health up across maps, pick Guo Huai because he can heal himself with a musou. Also because he's the best character.

I -think- it's Shu-Wei-Wu-Jin, but the first three take place roughly within the same time frame so it might be worth going like Shu/Wei/Wu 1 followed by Shu/Wei/Wu 2 and then play Jin.

Honestly the way the game has them laid out works pretty well. The game has a huge issue of introducing characthers that you have no idea who the hell they are, and the game likes to jump around a lot. I just did Wei-Wu-Shu and honestly i think it more or less was fine.

I think the story would be a lot more coherent if they could maybe make 1 campaign and intertwine the 3 factions.

This seems to be good. I'm 5 missions into Wei and nobody showed up that I should have known already. Save LuBu for last?

Storywise Lu Bu's story starts first and ends first, but his story also starts him off at level 30 and everyone is dropping 3 dot weapons so yeah, save Lu Bu for last.

At the start the game is like this. But as the game goes on i felt there were a lot of characters that you have no idea who they are or where they came from. This is especially true for Wu.

Sadly for Wu they're not much better off in the novel in terms of how much introduction certain Wu characters get, and even in the 2010 TV show (the strongest mainstream Wu depiction outside of Red Cliff and these games) some of their characters are brushed off to the side if they even appear, such as Gan Ning (I don't recall if Ling Tong appears).

What exactly do you mean by Shu 2 and how do I access that?

It seems like every side has the main campaign, a hypothetical branch, and then a bunch of side missions that you have to play in order even though they don't automatically follow each other like the main storyline. Is that right?

That's right, but I was thinking more of stages. More like play the first stage of each Musou, then the 2nd, etc etc.

Bunch of new guys from original Seed and Destiny as well as a bunch of new guys from Unicorn. Also a new set of super attacks involving the more powerful suits in the series, like getting the METEOR backpacks for the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice, along with a mode where you play as the Mobile Armors and just spend half an hour stepping on dudes as Big Zam.

Lot of new movesets for old suits, you can charge ranged attacks to start chain explosions from range which is pretty great, there's a super mode like in DW8, stages are more like Gundam 2, space is back. The mobile armors have pretty boring and limited movesets unfortunately.

Does DW8XLCE suffer any framerate issues on the PS4? I haven't played one of these games since I believe 3 or 4 back on the PS2. Are bodyguards still a thing in the series? I liked how they were in 3, but then was upset at how dumbed down they were in 4.

Also how good is the netcode for online play?

Bodyguards are a thing in Ambition mode. I haven't noticed major stutters on the PS4 version, but I wouldn't call it a well optimized release for sure.

I've only seen noticeable slowdown when doing a rage musou into like 300 enemy grunts and six officers, so no, not really.

Which makes sense, because it pretty much looks like a PS3 game with high-res models for the main characters.

Actually a playable or generic. And you can have up to three of them with different abilities that do cool and/or lame stuff.

I would be very very surprised if it did (local coop on a PC is super rare), but considering it's in the game to begin with the answer is probably.
