next video Top 10 characters that should go on their historical route. I think Zhenji and yue ying would fit well to this list. Especially Zhen Ji because her actual historical information is so tragic. But if they add it there is a possibility that Cao Pi might get hated because of what he did to her. But who cares he should get hated for killing his wife for a stupid lie. And if they add Zhen Ji's actual story maybe add lady Li (she was the one who told zhenji's son what really happened to Zhenji) as a NPC
Man, i love Gan Ning. He is just so sassy and i love playing as him. His weapon in 2-5 was iconic and it was silly to take it away ( kinda like taking away Zhang He's claws or Ma Chao's spear lmao). Hope they do my boy right and give him back the River Master. Also, 100% agree with Zhang Liao at 1. He is just a beast. Wei gang rise up
My boys! 10 and 6! I love Lu Xun's design with the militant/scholarly look and his signature hat. His twin swords easily became a distinguishable feature and it made his play style unique. Especially because you had another dual blade fighter in Cao Pi, but despite that, their play styles were entirely different. With Lu Xun kind of whirling about, it required a level of skill to control him on the battlefield in DW5. But when they completely changed his attire in DW6 it was off-putting. At least he kept the same weapon with changes to his movements. Zhou Yu's Elder Sword and his hidden Ancients Sword were my favorites to use in older games, so once again when they changed the attire, I was thrown off entirely and the use of a staff took a long time to get used to. Then they changed his design again in DW7 returning to certain motifs from older games while making him look more militant almost modern even. Ultimately, it's always a pleasure seeing my two favorite tacticians getting some love.
I’m not surprised about the inferiority complex they added in the games for Zhou Yu because HAVE YOU SEEN HIS DW 5 ENCYCLOPEDIA?! “Zhou Yu is smart but Zhuge Liang is smarter”. I remember comparing everyone’s encyclopedia and his is the ONLY one that has something like this lol. The audacity 🤣
I'ma be real here, wu does have my favorite cast of characters so if it was my list it'd probably be chalk full of wu characters, couple of wei, couple of shu, maybe one or two from jin or the other forces. Great video though as always!
@@TheNightowlGaming I don't think it's that strange not any stranger then most of my favorite characters being female characters in general, but also it's hard to deny the chemistry wu has.
Respect for putting Zhang Liao on top. He may not be my personal #1 but he is in top 5 for me. Number 1 for me is his Wu counterpart (According to Sun Quan)
@@TheNightowlGaming One of my Favorite things to do in between DW Games is guess and draw who would be the newest playable characters and their weapons. I've be close in design for about 2 of them. The Shin Sangoku Musou Cards kinda give away designs for potential new characters though some have been altered. (Though there are some characters not depicted in the card game I feel would make great surprises.)
"I am no simp..." *Sees Zhao Yun "The Legendary Luminary Dragon better be #1😂" Edit: OMG you have to watch SeriousTrivia's video for the top dynasty warriors achievements. I will not spoil anything for you but i like how Zhao Yun & Zhang Liao are ranked closely. You will know why. Go check it out!
Not surprising there's a lot of Wu characters. While there's a lot of cool characters in Wei and Shu they're pale in comparison to Wu characters (i think that's omega force's way to compensate for making wu the forgotten middle child) And honestly i think the only one that can compete for the top 10 from wei and shu instead of wu characters are Xu Huang, Cao Pi, Sima Yi, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu I would prefer Cao Pi and Sima Yi instead of Lu Xun and Taishi Chi. But Lu Xun and Taishi Chi are also quite popular so i don't really have any problem with it
For sure and I respect everyone's different love for characters, and from what I've gathered taishi ci is actually not that popular, currently conducting popularity for each character so im interested to see what the public say about him
If you're curious and have free time checkout a Top 10 DW Character list from a TH-camr named "The Fiery Joker' ... it's a roller coaster of emotions. (I don't know how to copy and post links on a smart phone yet, sorry to make you do extra work in searching.)
dynasty warriors 4 was my first introduction to the series. when I take all bias aside it was definitely lu bu that caught my attention the most when I first get into dynasty warriors. he's like the villain that you know you probably shouldn't like but you lowkey kinda like him anyways lol. My toxic trait would be thinking I could change him 😭
A top 10 list will not do all the characters I adore justice...needs to be at least a top 20 Anyway...here is my top 11 based on the in-game character presentation- achievements -personality and move-set 1- Gan Ning 2 - Ma Chao 3- Yue Jin 4- Lu Bu 5- Taishi Ci 6- Zhou Tai 7- Zhang He 8- Ding Feng 9- Guan Yu 10- Deng Ai 11- Huang Zhong Also I agree with you Zhou Yu's staff move-set in DW8 felt so good to use
My Top 10 DW Characters (not in a particular order) 1. Sima Yi 2. Wang Yi 3. Diaochan 4. Cai Wenji 5. Zhang Chunhua 6. Chen Gong 7. Zhuge Liang 8. Fa Zheng 9. Zuo Ci 10. Jia Xu
@@TheNightowlGaming I really admire Liu Bei's goal of creating a land of benevolence. Of the big three it's Shu's goal that I resonate with the most. While I don't hate Wu, I never really understood their goal other than split the land into two. That and Zhou Yun did Liu Bei trying to have him killed on his (Liu Bei's) wedding day. However, I can't forgive Guan Yu either. Had he listened to Liu Bei he might not have died at Fan Castle
@@TheNightowlGaming Ok, after much thought here's my top 10 (these are mostly based on their personalities and how they play in DW8XL) 10) Sun Ce 9) Zhong Hui 8) Sun Jian 7) Zhou Tai 6) Zhang He 5) Wang Yuanji 4) Zhang Liao 3) Zhuge Liang 2) Lu Bu 1) Guan Yu
I’ll be the one hater of both ma chao and zhao Yun 1. Spears are my least favorite weapon in everything so I naturally don’t want to use them 2. Shu is my least favorite faction so that’s a minus 3. I simp for wang yi so ma chao has to die 4. Zhao yun is shoved down our throats so much his intro may as well be IM THE COOL GOOD GUY YOU WILL LIKE ME (shu in general actually very boring) Nice list though I’m just a diehard wei fan so naturally gonna disagree a bunch. Zhang Jiao is one of my favorite characters so maybe I’m just weird.
Reason for Sima Yi being number 1: - Slithering Snake - a cooler darker Zhuge Liang - mage (most of the time) - strategist - sinister - I feel in love with his DW6 Variant
NO GUAN YU THE GOD OF WAR???????????? DELETE THIS LIST NOW!! lol jk. This list made me laugh im totally different from you. Shu my favorite kingdom so most of my top is Shu. But we did kinda pick some of the same Wu i like. Wu is my least favorite kingdom for sure lol
@@TheNightowlGaming Strictly in the games. I’m not familiar with the novel. I didn’t intend for my comment to be rude. I really appreciate people the love DW as much (or more) than I do. Being watching a bunch of your videos recently. Can’t wait for DW10 (as long as it’s not open world) or a remaster of 2-5 (probably unlikely).
Sun Ce got the energy to pull up to your front door to beat your ass if you talked shit to him online
Doing a Sun Ce version “Hey it’s me Goku”
LOL 100% "oh hey Sun Ce how's it--" 👊💥
Or if you dared to disrespect his wife
@@uraninezak you disrespect his wife there would be nothing left of you that's for damn sure
Your channel has inspired me to talk about this beloved series more.
DO IT! Love to see DW content
My top 3
1- Lu Xun 2- Zhou Yu 3- Sima Yi
My favorite kingdom is Wu
Also I really loved Gan Ning's long hair😅
with the name zhou tai you have me shocked lol, solid 3 though 😁😁

Ah I see what you're saying not a bad idea!
There's no way!.. so many Wu characters!?😂... Who bribed you?
I’m sure nobody did, he just has a good taste
@@sararapotata 🤔
😂
@@sararapotataYou right, Wu is our best little country.
Wu #1
Wu kingdom is the best kingdom. Loved the Wu since '02. Lol
Haha nice!
Great list.
Especially since 5 out 10 characters are in WU.
LOL it's kinda crazy
No wonder why Wu won the members games.
😂😂 Wu got some cool peeps 😎
Nice video My number one is yuan shao. Massive respect to zhang liao defending He Fei from wu while on his deathbed
Still hasn't changed after all this time, that's quite noble of you 😉
You better put Zhang liao
Thank you for putting him in top 1 ❤❤❤❤
The guardian of hefei

Thats awesom! love the in depth love for them!
With Zhang Liao, i do think the twin axes fit him perfectly style wise
I wish they were smaller like on dw6
Compared to your first list, it's a shake up. As someone who has seen your evolution since that last list, it is not surprising. Justice for Sun Ce ❤
I will always love my warriors 😎
And I will always love you UwU
I’m not surprised about the inferiority complex they added in the games for Zhou Yu because HAVE YOU SEEN HIS DW 5 ENCYCLOPEDIA?! “Zhou Yu is smart but Zhuge Liang is smarter”. I remember comparing everyone’s encyclopedia and his is the ONLY one that has something like this lol. The audacity 🤣

Thats awesome 🔔
I think your next lists should be Top 10 potential new characters for each current - and future - Faction (Wei, Wu, Shu, Jin, Other)
I've done an overall top 10 but for each faction would be cool

i agree with the top 10 dynasty warriors characters 100% and zhao yun is my personal favorite play dynasty warriors 4 on the ps2💖
Nice!

Am i wrong to have Wang Yi, Zhu Rong, and Fa Zheng in my top 10. Zhang Liao is number 1 though.
Absolutely not, love seeing the unusual pick as people's favorite, I think zhurong is pretty popular though
It sounds like you really like Wu 😂😅

Fan Castle made me hate Wu for such a long time😂
Lol that's fair, definitely a dirty move lol

IDK if I could make a top 10, but I do have a top 5.
5) Ma Chao
4) Zhang Fe
3) Zhuge Liang
2) Lu Bu
1) Guan Yu
solid 5 😎 a Shu fan i see

- I feel in love with his DW6 Variant
The rest are either:
- weapon type (musical or flashy movement)
- personality (quiet, calm, edgy, or badass)
