Dynasty Warriors 7 Discussion

[Zhou Yu]

Yes i preferred him with the longer hair thats for sure. Also not head over heels over his voice, ok its posh which is not such a bad thing. But it lacks any real emotion before you could almost here his desire for conquest in the emotion in his voice. Now it just lacks any emotion at all.

Yeah no more clone move sets. I would also like to see some weapons changed, currently some are just stupid. Like Ma chao's giant sword, his spear was just epic. Or Xiahou Dun with his club, which outright sucks his sword has to be returned. Wei Yan is the guy that needs his old weapon back the most his current one is so not him.

Glad to know it isn't only me. XD His voice before was so much more unique. I don't know what is was about it, but it really did something for his character. Like you said, it lacks emotion now, which is probably the missing thing. If anywhere emotion should be present in a character's voice.

Clones are such a drag. You play as a different character in hopes of experiencing their own moveset, but when its a clone you may as well be playing the character/s who share that moveset. Okay, so Renbu can sometimes enhance the clones, but since they shouldn't be cloned in the first place it's not acceptable. Thankfully they fixed most of the clones in Empires, but..

Some of the weapons make me wonder what Koei were thinking. Its just annoying when a character you like is suddenly changed to a worse moveset because Koei likes to shuffle everything around. I will say though, those you mentioned have it pretty bad. I thought Ma Chao was supposed to be associated with spears, and he gets landed with a huge sword..? The heck? o.o

Sun Jian TOTALLY stole Zhou Yu's weapon. Though from the looks of it he can't even use it well. Argh. I guess the pole thing is supposed to make Zhou Yu more individual, but whatever.

I must say I did like some of the weapon changes, namely Liu Bei's who is MUCH better now. Gan Ning is easier to use as well. Uh.. there are probably others, but yeah. They come to mind first.

What do you think about Zhen Ji being a clone? Her flute was badass but now she gets to be a Diao Chan copycat. :/ How fun for her. Not.

[Zhou Yu]

Agreed a few changes where good, Liu bei's duel swords are amazing. I use them for my created character on empire's. Although it looks stupid i have to admit Lu Bu's new weapon is probably the most deadly thing iv seen on any warriors game. 360 degree attack radius he can kill you no matter where you stand near him. With the extra attack range boost he is just a demon. Sima Yi is another one who's new weapon i like his claws and cool and Zhang liao's duel halberd are lethal.

Yeah Zhen Ji is a total clone of Diao Chan now. Her weapon used to be pretty kick ass and although her new one is also really good its so cloned. Her flute was so unique it added a lot to her character now she just seems lacking some how.

Let's just hope they keep some of the changing that were good (the few that there are) and only change the ones that let the game down.

[Reishi]

I agree. He's one of my faves to play around with now. Lu Bu? Oh yeah. Awkward to fight against, awesome to fight with. Sima Yi's fun. Slow, but fun. It's nice he isn't a clone anymore. Wish I could say that about everyone.

It's not fair really, the only few females in the games are clones of one another. When they didn't used to be. I liked Yue Ying's scythe but now she's stuck with a frickin' girly bow.

Yeah, because otherwise they'll just make more problems for themselves. Only fix something that doesn't work Koei.

[ryouken]

im still of the opinion that they need to allow each character to hold more than one type of weapon, if you gave Zhou Yu his sword, and his pole, he would have variety, everyone would be happy.

But i also think that every weapon ever used should be available in custom mode, custome mode is certainly the best thing available in any DW game (Making DW6 a weaker game than a few others)

[Lu Xiang]

Different weapons equipped would be pretty cool, being able to switch from a close range weapon such as a sword to a much larger range weapon like a pole would be really nice though i doubt Koei would implement such a thing

I would like to see the return of the older maps too, they included the old music which was nice but perhaps a wider variety of stages from all the dynasty warriors to play on so playing the same stage wouldn't get boring due to having variations.

[Reishi]

They've done it in Strikeforce, so it's probably unlikely they'll do it in DW7. Shame though because it really does work well in Strikeforce, and there's much lulz to be found in (for example) Cao Cao using Xiao Qiao's fans. But you never know, we could be surprised.

[Cao Cao]

What they need is to have a story mode for each character like in DW5. I agree with the whole clone issue in 6 so they need to fix that. They need to change a good amont of weapons back but not all of them. Like you said, Liu Bei is a lot better with dual swords. With those changes I will be happy.
