Cao Cao is a playable character because of Guan Yu? Come on man he is the emperor of Wei and the hero of chaos he is the conqueror of the land ... my favorite character in the game 💗 with xiahou dun off course he is Cao Cao cousin 😁
The Eil That much is understandable. Japan has been in the VA business for a while as a notable tradition, hence the "CV/Character Voice" stuff you see on their promos. While a Chinese dub would be plausible, I guess Koei is mainly reserving that for their Romance of the Three Kingdoms games.
Wei (the first one): Yue Jin, Li Dian Wu: Lu Su & Han Deng Shu: Xu Shu, Zhang Bao, Guan Sing, Guan Yinping Jin: Jia Chong, Zhang Chunhua, Wen Yang Other: Not technically a new character but his name is Zuo Ci
I don't have DW7, so I wouldn't know. However, from my knowledge I conclude that DW7 is probably you choose an empire then play a series of the empire's generals, correct? This game has a very high chance that it is like DW7's story. I've loved the older DW's game's story so much and would hate the idea of DW7's kind of story mode.
That is Zuo Ci, legendary Mystic/Taoist around the beginning of the DW story. He was in DW5 but hasn't reappeared since then. If he is anything like his DW5 appearance, he will be a very fun character to play with.
I'm not sure but I see some new weapons in some characters, like Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Da Qiao.. Well i think dinasty warriors 4 is the best and this saga needs something more than new characters. More decisions to take and maybe have the power to make your own strategy
Starting Chars: Shu:Liu Bei,Guan Yu,and Zhang Fei Wu:Sun Jian,Sun Shangxiang,Sun Ce,Sun Quan,and Han Dang Wei:Cao Cao,Xiahou Yuan,and Xiahou Dun Jin:Sima Yi,Sima Zhao,Sima Shi,and Zhang Chunhua And you can unlock Da Qiao really fast if you meet the requirements for an What If stage.Xiao Qiao is further in.
you're right about dynasty warriors 7 story mode honestly i like the original story modes the one in dw7 its ok and it does take several hrs to complete i like how you can have a second weapon but you cant equip items like you could in the originals and you cant have body per-say if you go into conquest mode you can get guardian animals you can ride a bear which is crazy its kinda slow you can also unlock wolves and tigers which i think is cool
Dian Wei dies protecting Cao Cao during a night attack by Zhen Ji's previous Husband's forces (forget his name). but yes he dies. but that has nothing to do with if he should appear again or not in a new Dynasty Warriors game, since this is based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms Book which is loosely based off of the historical records for its time. 8 is not a continuation of 7, just a new "Updated Version" of gameplay of the same story.
Aha. I love your description. Said that like it's no big deal. Must not be because you either play for a really long time, or you just found a quicker way of doing it. I don't really know since I don't have this yet.
There are 11 additional characters as follows: Shu : Guan Yinping, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao Wu: Lu Su, Han Dang Wei: Yue Jin, Li Dian Jin: Zhang Chunhua, Wen Yang, Jia Chong, Others: Zuo Ci (Gloriously returning from DW5)
I have always been a fan of Zhang Liao, although I much prefer Wei to any other kingdom the officers seem more real and refined to me. Shu is too goodie goodie for me and Wu just lacks in a lot of area's.
Can somebody help me? I have the full character roster but when i look in the gallery in the wallpapers category. It says i'm missing two characters from "Other"
The only thing I hate about this game is that I have to take 3 weeks to choose which character to use because they are all so awesome. (Except for the ones that aren't)
List of favs: Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Cao Pi, Lu Xun, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Sun Ce, Lian Shi, (all shu characters except Liu Shan) The Sima Family, Wang Yuanji, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai, Lu Bu, Zhu Rong, and Meng Huo
yeah dw4 with the body guards that would be awsome to have again and from what ive read on dw8 theres new modes not sure what they are cause it did specify to much because the video was in jp and whoever wrote the detailing did not give to much detail out but the exact release date for dw8 is july 16th for north america which its been out in japan for 2 months now
well in that case they probably just focused on his story before he join Wei, which led to the decision to put him down as a Shu officer since he severed as Shu's strategist before Zhuge. but i guess they made up for it by making his second outfit blue
are there more characters in this one than the previous one? or is it the same but different constumes? im just wondering because i plan on downloading dw7e, and i havent played both yet
one last thing koei should make one of the games all mixed up or maybe even make it so during the yellow turbans demons attack or something happened that changes the history and the characters live longer.
You know what would be better? Have the game give you the option in Voices to switch between English subs or dubs, aka Japanese or English voices in the Options menu for the game. They should do that when US version comes out.
Wonderpierrot can you please make vids of how to unlock the characters please because I really need help or if there's a guide that helped you can you please tell PLEASE HELP!!!
Dynasty Warriors 8 WILL be dubbed! It's been confirmed. The English voice actor for Dong Zhuo stated "off to do some voice recording for DW8"! Fuck yes!
i'm still sad that zuo ci was the only character added to the others faction. great that he's back, but they could've added someone else into the mix, even if they didn't had a significant role into the story. I mean, look at meng huo and zhu rong. honestly, what impact did it make conquering the nanman territories if they did nothing afterwards? I say they should add characters that are at least known in legend like hua xiong or yan liang and wen chou. i'd like to see one of them at least...
DW8 has aged up very quickly.
6 years old now? Damn.
Yeah it feels like it was made last year
And many musou games before and after this one will never stand a chance
Its sad that the voice actor for sima yi passed away, his voice for him suited him well
Wei - 18 Characters
Wu - 18 Characters
Shu - 21 Characters
Jin - 12 Characters
Other - 10 Characters
And in DW9:
Wei - 23
Wu - 21
Shu - 24
Jin - 13
Other - 13
Well. While in DW 5
Shu : 13
Wei : 13
Wu : 14
Other : 10...
Sometimes I wonder why Shu always have more heroes
Lots of em betrayed other kingdoms to join shu
@Sima Yi well, that's disappointing but okay.... Thanks for the info
Dian wei has the same voice as zoro(one piece)?
+Abi Harris Sumapraja yea Xiahou Dun too
Abi Harris Sumapraja dian wei voice more like zoro in drunk condition
yes :D
same voice of Date Masamune from Basara
Kurosawa Maymika by the way why han deng doesn't wear his flamingo eyeglass
character selection screen layout
DW8 > DW9
Most characters become playable because of Guan Yu

Cao Cao is a playable character because of Guan Yu? Come on man he is the emperor of Wei and the hero of chaos he is the conqueror of the land ... my favorite character in the game 💗 with xiahou dun off course he is Cao Cao cousin 😁
Cao Cao was never an emperor. Lol
Purple Ocean posthumously, yes
Fun fact..
Guan ping is not actually Guan Yu’s Son..
Nah you're overstmating him how is that most of the characters you mentioned couple of them only.
I love how they took the rhythm for Beverly Hills Cop theme for the select theme.
they all sound so awesome
To make the game accurate, they should have Chinese voice actors instead.
That will be sucks
+MarkSamurai5 They've done that for their Romance of the Three Kingdoms game series already
The Eil why would it Suck? The game is based on China history
Austin Theng I prefer Japanese voices
The Eil
That much is understandable.
Japan has been in the VA business for a while as a notable tradition, hence the "CV/Character Voice" stuff you see on their promos.
While a Chinese dub would be plausible, I guess Koei is mainly reserving that for their Romance of the Three Kingdoms games.
This looked really cool!
I only have DW8 : Empires on PC, and the selection screen in this game is just better.
He just said Illuminati confirmed at 0:55
Ahahhahaha
i saw the most of the weapons already and i didnt saw someone carry another one's weapon!! till now everything is just great !
Wei (the first one): Yue Jin, Li Dian
Wu: Lu Su & Han Deng
Shu: Xu Shu, Zhang Bao, Guan Sing, Guan Yinping
Jin: Jia Chong, Zhang Chunhua, Wen Yang
Other: Not technically a new character but his name is Zuo Ci
I just Love Dynasty Warriors
Relax, I will do this video again in English. :)
Hopefully we get to play as Ma Chao in a story type mode. Enjoyed his move set and his personality in DW5.
super fun game
You have no how envious I am of you right now!!!!! XD
I don't have DW7, so I wouldn't know. However, from my knowledge I conclude that DW7 is probably you choose an empire then play a series of the empire's generals, correct? This game has a very high chance that it is like DW7's story. I've loved the older DW's game's story so much and would hate the idea of DW7's kind of story mode.
I've read the book, I know what coaxed him to be a WEI's warrior, not SHU's. BTW he was in Wei.
i miss this
Zhuge Jin,Sun Xiu,and Lu Kang must be here too.Both of them is important characters.
RIP Mr. Takishita, the late VA of Sima Yi.
Thats awesome!! I love me my Dynasty warriors games! Thanks for the info.
announced today its being released in the states for xbox and ps3. july 16th. with english language
anyone notice how some of portraits come from Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires ?
That is Zuo Ci, legendary Mystic/Taoist around the beginning of the DW story. He was in DW5 but hasn't reappeared since then. If he is anything like his DW5 appearance, he will be a very fun character to play with.
some of them died like dian wei but you are still able to play with them after story
Super pumped for this
Wait a minute, is Cao Pi were voiced by Seto Kaiba va??
sweet huang gai has that boat weapon? is the surf attack still on its moveset?
I'm so glad they brought zuo ci back
I'm not sure but I see some new weapons in some characters, like Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Da Qiao.. Well i think dinasty warriors 4 is the best and this saga needs something more than new characters. More decisions to take and maybe have the power to make your own strategy
yeah the Japanese voices absolutely great ! but I loved the dub also I think they did a great job especially in DW-5
Starting Chars:
Shu:Liu Bei,Guan Yu,and Zhang Fei
Wu:Sun Jian,Sun Shangxiang,Sun Ce,Sun Quan,and Han Dang
Wei:Cao Cao,Xiahou Yuan,and Xiahou Dun
Jin:Sima Yi,Sima Zhao,Sima Shi,and Zhang Chunhua
And you can unlock Da Qiao really fast if you meet the requirements for an What If stage.Xiao Qiao is further in.
you're right about dynasty warriors 7 story mode honestly i like the original story modes the one in dw7 its ok and it does take several hrs to complete i like how you can have a second weapon but you cant equip items like you could in the originals and you cant have body per-say if you go into conquest mode you can get guardian animals you can ride a bear which is crazy its kinda slow you can also unlock wolves and tigers which i think is cool
The second to last guy on shu (that looks like sima zhao) looks BOSS
Dian Wei dies protecting Cao Cao during a night attack by Zhen Ji's previous Husband's forces (forget his name). but yes he dies. but that has nothing to do with if he should appear again or not in a new Dynasty Warriors game, since this is based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms Book which is loosely based off of the historical records for its time. 8 is not a continuation of 7, just a new "Updated Version" of gameplay of the same story.
Aha. I love your description. Said that like it's no big deal. Must not be because you either play for a really long time, or you just found a quicker way of doing it. I don't really know since I don't have this yet.
is the story mode like the older dynasty warrior games where you can chose any player's story mode or is it like dynasty warriors 7?
Ma Chao looks an absolute badass now he has white plates on his armour finally the splendid ma chao
I've read the book, I know his hystory, and I know he was coaxed to serve Wei, not Shu.
There are 11 additional characters as follows:
Shu : Guan Yinping, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao
Wu: Lu Su, Han Dang
Wei: Yue Jin, Li Dian
Jin: Zhang Chunhua, Wen Yang, Jia Chong,
Others: Zuo Ci (Gloriously returning from DW5)
I have always been a fan of Zhang Liao, although I much prefer Wei to any other kingdom the officers seem more real and refined to me. Shu is too goodie goodie for me and Wu just lacks in a lot of area's.
May I ask? Could you do a game play as Da Quio if you don't mind?
Can somebody help me? I have the full character roster but when i look in the gallery in the wallpapers category. It says i'm missing two characters from "Other"
Same problems but with dian wei
Isn't Xiahou Dun the same as Zoro's Voice Actor, lol?
Perfect matching.
the english version is not out yet
for some reason i think the person who voice acts dian wei is the person who voices zoro from one piece...
SO glad they bought the level system back!
The only thing I hate about this game is that I have to take 3 weeks to choose which character to use because they are all so awesome. (Except for the ones that aren't)
الله !!!! هذا الجزء حلو مرة ما اقدر اصبر ابيييييييييه !!
its going to be within another 6 month wait for the offical annocument for the eng version
WOW, Zhu Rong looks very hot! No wonder you leveled her up to level 99 XD
List of favs: Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Cao Pi, Lu Xun, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Sun Ce, Lian Shi, (all shu characters except Liu Shan) The Sima Family, Wang Yuanji, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai, Lu Bu, Zhu Rong, and Meng Huo

I think the games is coming sometime in July.
Zuo Ci is back!? yup definetly getting this.
Yeah! Can't wait for July!
Does Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires have an English setting yet? Not the voices, but I mean captions, and the main menu and stuff?
I bet it does , because i´m playing it , but the free version
Why can't they just make an hd release of Dynasty Warriors 3? It was fucking amazing!!
blinddkorn Und ich dachte ich bin der einzige :)
Or DW4.
It aged badly
Damn i can't wait till it releases
Shu had the most out of all, then they were the first to go down.....AMAIZE!!!
yeah dw4 with the body guards that would be awsome to have again and from what ive read on dw8 theres new modes not sure what they are cause it did specify to much because the video was in jp and whoever wrote the detailing did not give to much detail out but the exact release date for dw8 is july 16th for north america which its been out in japan for 2 months now
Some of these new guys look really tight.
what is the title of the background music from the start of this video? anyone here help me to figure out need it badly. thanks alot
Sequence Start
harubpunbaru007 thank you so much :)
Can you eventually do an All EXs and Musous video? :3
well in that case they probably just focused on his story before he join Wei, which led to the decision to put him down as a Shu officer since he severed as Shu's strategist before Zhuge. but i guess they made up for it by making his second outfit blue
are there more characters in this one than the previous one? or is it the same but different constumes? im just wondering because i plan on downloading dw7e, and i havent played both yet
bawster i have a one more question is lu bu have a daughter because i didnt know about that
one last thing koei should make one of the games all mixed up or maybe even make it so during the yellow turbans demons attack or something happened that changes the history and the characters live longer.
You know what would be better? Have the game give you the option in Voices to switch between English subs or dubs, aka Japanese or English voices in the Options menu for the game. They should do that when US version comes out.
YESS! Zuo Ci is Back!!
Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Da Qiao, Zhao Yu - their voices are beautiful
Wonderpierrot can you please make vids of how to unlock the characters please because I really need help or if there's a guide that helped you can you please tell PLEASE HELP!!!
Lubu,Zhang bao,yuan shao,Liu bei and Cao cao are my favorite people
Woot! Zuo Ci is back!!!!
Do you know the title of the character select BGM? Plz tell me, because its cool o_o
Sequence Start
has the characters' attire gotten deeper by the neckline?
Dynasty Warriors 8 WILL be dubbed! It's been confirmed. The English voice actor for Dong Zhuo stated "off to do some voice recording for DW8"! Fuck yes!
anybody know when the Japanese voice option for X box will be released?
Cao Cao,s voice is GOLDEN
Gan Ning still lacks his sword, but at least he looks badass. I was so happy when Warriors Orochi had his headband/shirtless costume.
Just wondering, who are the starting characters and how early do we unlock Da Qiao or Xiao Qiao? They've been my favorite since I started playing :)
The qiao sisters are soo cute :). Of course the beauties like diao chan, cai wenji, and li shan stand out as well..
i'm still sad that zuo ci was the only character added to the others faction. great that he's back, but they could've added someone else into the mix, even if they didn't had a significant role into the story. I mean, look at meng huo and zhu rong. honestly, what impact did it make conquering the nanman territories if they did nothing afterwards? I say they should add characters that are at least known in legend like hua xiong or yan liang and wen chou. i'd like to see one of them at least...
Jin would need Du Yu as well. Wu though... Needs a ton of adds. Especially for the Late Era.
Other need hua xiong, meng you, king mulu, + bonus char like liu bang, xiang yu, shi huang di, sima hui, hua tuo
Pierrot, where would I be without you? :)
DW 8 is confirmed to be localized in july
When is that coming out here?
Aww man, I loved Zuo Ci. I can't believe 7 empires only had an outfit of him, and not him.
Is there any characters that use their fists?
they brought back the 2p feature :D im happy
Zuo ci is back yeah awesome
Who Here Has the regular version of Dynasty Warriors 8 save data? , anyone please help me, I just lost my dynasty Warriors 8 save data😢
Can you make a video showing different outfit?
Wow This is so cool...

Meant that lvl discrepancy between her and Lu Bu in this guy's character list.
Zhu Rong looks really good ;D glad she back with her bommerang!!! Can july just be right now!!!

Faith has been restored
Sun Ce, Pang Tong, Wei Yan, Lu Bu, and Xing Cai are my favorites
