I know it took me longer to get this video out. I'm looking into a new format for news. In the meantime, what are your thoughts so far on Dynasty Warriors Origins?
I saw some character with unique models that made me hopeful that they are finally getting rid of named cloned officers (And if not thats a let down, and they need to) such as Zhang Jiao's brothers, Guo Si and Li Jue, and a couple others with unique portraits and models.. It seems to be the case and if I am right, Empires would be phenomenally better if they followed this up with one like they usually do. Nothing dissapoints like facing powerful famous officers (when you know the history) like Wen Chou or Cao Zhang, only to have them be generic clones. Really breaks the immersion for some. Its why people always want more characters added despite most not playing as them. And I'm sure it will have a free mode as well....At least I hope....
1. Yes that’s Xiahou Dun, and as for Yuan Shao It’s not a mix of his DW6 and DW9 looks it’s his DW9 outfit plain and simple with a hair color change. 2. They confirmed the nameless hero DOES have an identity, he just has amnesia and his true identity will be revealed in the story. 3. The director said around 20 weapon types will be in the game. 4. Characters swapping IS the bodyguard feature. You swap to a character that’s your body guard and only a small amount of characters will be body guards (most likely the characters that got full makeovers like Zhang Jiao, Guan Yu.. etc.)
dynasty warrior in a narrative format is a win for me. finally an iteration that's "doing something new" instead of just tech updates and mechanics expansions.
Great video! The jokes, the presentation, an enjoyable watch 😁😁 definitely excited for the new game, not getting my hopes up too high but hoping for the best. It sucks that its not the full timeline and they wont go all the way through the story (yet) but hopefully on our way to the end its enjoyable & the replayability is worth it, thats the only thing im worried about
I kinda like how they're throwing a Final Fantasy Character into the Dynasty Warriors World. Also it having a more in depth combat mechanic where dodging, parrying and counters are more significant feels like a welcome change.
Your dark humor is what got me into your content Chris, keep them up! Also your content is vastly different in terms of warrior content coverage and quality. you uniquely stand out from other TH-camrs because you do deep dives into the games and have experience playing all of them and your very funny. Your reviews are always the best so don’t ever worry about redundancy. Game wise, I like the new approach they are taking the game, it reminds me when they first revealed dynasty warriors 7 where they took the game back to its roots after dynasty warriors 6’s blunder. Also the darker tone and story focus seem to be somewhat reminiscent of 7. The thing that surprised me was the world map, it reminded me of a total war game map where there are open world approaches and choices but “instanced” battles, which I think is a better game style approach for a open world DW game compared to 9 where it was real time open world and the world felt empty. Definitely agree with not showing too much because when I played 7 for the first time I felt like I was playing 3 or 4 all over again but with new features and it felt awesome to unlock characters and weapons all over again. Given it took koei about 4 years to revamp from 6 to 7. And now about 7 years to go from 9 to origins. I’m hopeful the new changes will bring us back to our familar DW roots again (hopefully)
Hey Chris did you also hear that Koei Tecmo will continue to do collaboration games and supposedly the next one's going to be a Final Fantasy one. And also reminder they did make Final Fantasy Dissidia NT. Also Zhang Liao better have his Crescent blade back💯💙
@@ChrisGildart I forgot I think it was like a game rant or game radar article saying that they're still open to doing collaboration games. In Final Fantasy was one of them P.S it was an inverse article mentioning it
I’m a bit worried about Origins but on the surface it’s mostly things I’ve wanted for a while. A more in depth story that focuses on a smaller time period, hopefully with multiple games tackling later smaller sections of the Three Kingdoms era so eventually we get a like mini series of the whole period up to the Jin Dynasty story. Peons, both allied and enemy, being more impactful, as well as there being a lot of them. I hope this game rewards moving up with your allies and punishes charging alone. A lot of the games like DW8 had lines for when you encounter an enemy officer while alone critiquing you but then the game wasn’t hard enough to actually feel like you messed up. I don’t hate having a main character in the story mode as much as some people do, but I hope it’s like SOS where you play as the same couple characters throughout the story mode but then you have a free mode where you can play as anyone you want. Another thing as well is that when they start Shi Sui Gate, the commentator says “we’ll start with a Gongsun Zan this time” or something to that effect, making it sound like you can play battles with different starting points which I think could be pretty cool and add a bit of replay ability. Might be like DW8 where different characters have different roles, but because there’s one main player character, you can choose what role/start your character has. This is just speculation though. Overall, I’m sceptical because of Koei’s track record when trying new things but I’m liking what I the trailers are showing at this point. Really hoping they deliver with this because as mentioned it got a lot of additions/changes I’ve wanted.
Wait, wait, that Helmet Li Jue got made me think of one of the helmet options for DW8 Empires. So maybe we get something like Spirit of Sanada NPCs who had designs based on CAW looks
As long as we have a decent character turnout and unique moveset (aside from main protagonist) then I’m good ngl. that’s all I’ve wanted for a long time
Great vid Chris, We share alot of the same reactions and thoughts, you mentioned the arcade pick up and play feel might be void in Origins and I’m starting to think this might be common for Warriors moving forward. Immersion and long play seem to be the move for not only Koei but most AAA games. I pray for a free mode or something that can be more casual for gamers looking for a quick hack n slash fix. Also BlackKite does amazing work every musou/anime/gaming fan should check out their work!
The video was definitely worth the wait great video as always Chris 💜 I'm very excited for origin, my only issue is the lack of customizable main character. But man that EVE remix🥹!!
I would be okay if they only promote story, but release the game with Free and extra modes. All I care is that they give us that pick up and play gameplay in some form. That was a big thing that was missing from DW9.
i think the game will be decent since it's not going to be a true sequel and every entry has never pleased every fan so idk im hopeful for the future of the franchise as a whole either we get better new games or ports/remasters of old games. At the very least this looks like a true next gen warriors game and that is hype
im loving this game/// i am an empires fan i CANT WAIT I hope they add mod support for PC and allow us to go ham with their newest engine implementation. I love parry and dodging etc needs to allow chaos and etc to be actually hard and mechanically challenging as well... not just tankier harder hitting but more attacks and needing to be more close to reading and etc... i like it .... i hope they keep it like that even maybe make it better. lets hope for coop. Empires game variant i wanna see is a 2 or 4 player coop man... that would be sick... couch and multiplayer.. hopefully they fix the horrendous desync the other games used to have. and let the P1 have peer to peer and etc. i am looking forward to this new revamp it was needed and i hope to get that challenge of combat in AI terms not just tanky and harder hitting... i mean i have to use a Mod on Dw8e and other Dw games to make it harder so i have a challenge. hope this gives me all i am hoping for!! lets gooo edit: BODY GUARDS YESSSS thank god i want my guards lol not just 1 but my own unit damnit lol edit 2: i just hope it wont be dodge spam or such maybe add a delay or a limit/regen like SWBF has for the heros. or something i want parrying to be important and dodging. i know dodging is probably for evading Musous or grabs. MAN I CANT WAIT... TAKE MY DAMN MONEY KOEI AND GIVE ME THIS GAME>>>> I hope the story is before the 3 kingdoms and a little After gives them plenty of material ofc
As I heard, General in golden at Sishui gate is Li Jue. What you need about him, he and Guo Si, after Lu Bu trasform Daddy Dong into kebab, start civil war in Chang'an, meaning killing all Dong family members(even gothic loli) and take all power for them two...actually there was three of them with general Xu Rong, who was mvp in Dong Zhuo army, but those 2 kill him too, because he want free smol Emperor. Li Jue even start war with Guo Si, who then escape and just becamoe a bandit. This guy end like hobo, who lost all his power, lands and influence, everybody just forgot so he even exist.
great video. I bet your girlfriend was enjoying all the sex jokes lmao. As someone who's fallen off dynasty warriors since 6 I like to keep tabs on musuo games. tried playing samurai warriors, sengoku basara(even importing some games but i stopped after not being able to follow the story as easily.) I think I'm going to dip my toe back into dynasty warriors with this entry.
Same boat buddy. Was die hard on ps2 until 6 on ps3 then I felt it stagnated hard and I fell off. Last one I played and liked was Spirit of Sanada. but willing to give it another chance all these years later.
I'm not excited about another nameless protagonist. They did that with Wo Long and the story was a mess. I'm also so sick of being required to clear places bit by bit. I miss charging behind enemy lines and fighting my way out like back in Dynasty Warriors 5.
@@ChrisGildart yes, I hope the war counsel is expanded and perhaps interactive if you are higher up in the chain of command. It currently says it’s only for select battles. But here I am after saying never again after dw9
The lack of customization is a huge deterrent for me. The huge cast of these games is a draw. And here predominantly not playing them, means I want my take on the hero not a nameless hero
I just don't like the 'I'm sooo much better than everyone else' fake-stoic body language and facial expression of the MC. I don't WANT to play as him at least his face. I need to be able to change both his face and his facial expression or else this is gonna be yet another 'wait-for-sale' title for me.
They should have just made musou Empires and added a world tour mode where you battle against other historical figures in the era and outside the era like Julius Caesar, Oda Nobunaga, Vlad Tepes, Shaka Zulu, Alexander and Leonidas. Oh well wait will be painful.

I love that battlefields feels like a battlefield more than ever when you charge with your allies
From the gameplay, it looks like it will actually feel like you're part of an army and not just a hack n' slash god among peons.

Thanks man! I'm also hoping the replayability is there. We need a good upgrade from SW5. Citadel Mode was not enough to keep me coming back.
See I'm already ready for the empires version now
Nice to know i'm not the only one who was disappointed that Nagahide Niwa wasn't playable or at least get a unique model in SAM 5.
Bro got shafted with that. It was the perfect time to introduce him.
I kinda like how they're throwing a Final Fantasy Character into the Dynasty Warriors World. Also it having a more in depth combat mechanic where dodging, parrying and counters are more significant feels like a welcome change.
It also doesn't look like it takes away from the usual hack n slash comat either!
Random thought on the nameless protagonist. He’s actually a reincarnation of Zuo Ci and is trying to get his memories back. That’d be…something.
I actually mentioned this in one of the weekly Patreon voice chats.
Great and terrible minds. 😁👍

I only have one question... why did they make Zhang Jiao HOT!?
not that I am complaining of course 🙃
Because people respect you more when you're a good looking fanatic. 🤣
Great video, I'm very hopeful and can't wait for more information.
As long as we have a decent character turnout and unique moveset (aside from main protagonist) then I’m good ngl. that’s all I’ve wanted for a long time
so excited to see your thoughts, ty for doing this
waiting for this video! thanks
Insta-nut when I heard „Eve“.
This game is gonna be tight, I can feel it 🥺
Hope it can come close to DW4.

But man that EVE remix🥹!!
i really hope they showoff the extra modes with this game and dont only focus on the story mode during promotions

I went to this wrestling show at Wembley stadium last night and one of the entrances featured the voice of non other than dw4-8 zhang liao
That's amazing!
@@ChrisGildart the wrestler he done the entrance for is big assassin's creed fan so roger did ezio voice
great video, love your humor
Having the Nameless OC not be customizable in anyway is crazy.
That gameplay transition from [Insert OC here] to Guan Yu was hot AF tho, holy moly.
Welcome back. I've missed you 🥰
i hope to god this gonna be like a 5XL destiny mode but more thorough
I rate this video a 6 out of 9
I said no more sex jokes! 🤣
10:12 that's Li jue on top
yes, he is indeed li zhiran :)
needs more Sex Jokes in this video lol. But FR, I'm looking forward to this!
I'd just go with the path that the nameless hero will eventually be revealed to be Liao Hua.
Even the Peon's are back at it again. This will be the greatest DW game since 3. Plus hearing eve on the background was fire.
Man the amount of sex joke in this video 😂😂
Thank you for pronouncing Cao Cao correctly and not Cow Cow. Lolol

I am already annoyed his sash is red, like at least change the sash to match the force you’re fighting with…
I just want
Free mode
Playable hua xiong
Spilt screen/ online coop
Please go back to the old Square and Triangle moveset. I tried DW9 and really hate the new moveset with R1.
Question,do you think that they will remake warriors orochi since they reboot sw and dw?
It's hard to say. I think we'll first need to see how well DWO does and whether it's a true reboot or just a spin-off.

So far, he is male only. Hopefully they make the change before it releases or in a patch afterward.

A dw with harder combat, strategy, pre battle war counsel and some kinda total war over map. Give me a story mode and a free mode and I will buy it.
Free Mode is literally all that needs to be confirmed and we're set!

No character creation? I thought that was the whole gimmick of the nameless hero. weird
