On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Samurai Warriors never dropped the Create-a-Warrior gimmick, but then again Samurai Warriors games typically have huge gaps in between releases and there's only 4 of them compared to Dynasty Warriors' 9 and the wait between SW3 and SW4 was 5 years.

A compilation of a whole lot of character action trailers for DW9:

A bunch of those weapons are actually really dope.
Dual swords being combined in different ways to create big sword/two swords/sword polearm.
Nunchaks being used as guns?

Also I think all the character have very unique movesets even if they share a weapon? It's hard to tell but there are no moves that stood out as being re-used between characters.
I might be blind though.

I got to say this has sold me on DW9. Even if the open world stuff ends up being a pain in the rear end (And truth be told I still kinda think that. The best I am hoping for is SW-esque battlefield objectives on a very large scale for the main battles), the combat itself looks the best it has been for a DW mainline title.

Looks like they are splitting the difference for the bow users in having them use their bow for EX and Musou attacks while giving them a melee weapon.

I finally finished the episode of my DW retrospective on the first game. Check it out if you're so inclined. It's a neat game!

Nope, my end of year just got busy so I didn't have a lot of time to work on it. Plus grinding through to get everything was mind numbing so I had trouble doing it in long sessions.

Hopefully DW2 won't take as long to assess and record and poo poo.

Yeah! It's weird! I kinda want a Sangoku Musou 2 to see what 2018 Omega Force would do with it. Also to see what they would name it.

It's so weird that a series that's famous for letting you kill/KO hundreds of people started as a Tekken knock off.

Also Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are portrayed very well in the tv show. Guan Yu is arrogant of his abilities, and Zhang Fei mistreats his troops.

Considering the dub quality of the last few releases, I think complaining is fair. "Not as bad as it could be" isn't the same as "Good".

Yeah, as amusing as the old DW3-era dubs are, it's not something I'm really crazy about seeing return. I thought the dubbing in DW8 (don't know when the voice cast got started) was pretty good, and gave each character a distinct voice.

Honestly, I thought maybe they weren't going to even do a dub. It seems like a few of the Musou games that have come out just stuck with translating the text and leaving the original JP audio.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



they can get away without dubbing the side games or something like all stars, but they know they'd get a lot of poo poo for not even bothering to dub a mainline game

Errr, a bad dumbass dub is literally perfect for a dumbass game that is Warriors.
