Very interesting video! Indeed, I think a large number of characters will make the story richer and more interesting. (Not like 4) Each character adds their own unique dynamic and depth to the story. Thank you for such a detailed analysis!
I'm glad you liked the video. And yeah, it is a shame some of these games didn't get their characters in, or all of them in the case of Strikeforce 2, would've been nice to see them in. Not entirely sure I'd call my analysis very detailed but I did try and make sure I got everyone I could. I actually do have a couple of ideas similar to this one, but on different series's. The first being what characters are missing from BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, (Which is a big crossover of games made by Arc System Works like BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena, and some stuff they published like Under Night In-Birth, or just stuff they wanted in there like Arcana Heart, Senran Kagura, RWBY, or Akatsuki Blitzkamf) and what if the Neo Geo Pocket had a big dream match game. (To explain what that is, the Neo Geo Pocket is a handheld made by SNK, who you might know for games like King of Fighters or KOF for short, Metal Slug, and Samurai Showdown, and that idea is basically just mashing together all the characters that are in the fighters on that system, which is more than you would think) Not sure if you'd be interested in those but I felt like mentioning it.
It's gonna be the first Clone Orochi because the resent release of Dynasty and Samurai Warriors have clone movesets but it will be awesome if they just get the new characters from Spirit of Sanada, SW 5 and from DW 9 and make a new move set from them and the old Characters will have their moveset from SW4-2 and DW 8. The last Warrior Orochi if i remembered correctly got the record of most playable character in a game with different ability.
Their Orochi saga wrapped up with Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate. After that, it seems like there haven’t been any more storylines tied to Orochi. (Please don't leaning into a multiverse premise like the MCU) It might be better if they "remade" the Warriors Orochi stories with a fresh approach.
Yeah, since Warriors Orochi 4 did end with the heroes going back to their own worlds and forgetting everything once again, getting a fresh restart in a reboot sorta way could be a good idea. That way you could still add new characters, and not worry about story continuity with the other four games. And as for the Greek characters I suppose they could still be included, just not in the story mode, as just extras who are non-cannon.
DW Origins and Samura Warriors 5 are pretty different to the previous entries. I actually believe that, just like them, Warriors Orochi will also take a step into a soft reboot.
That does seem like the most likely next step, especially because the ending of Orochi 4 is the heroes once again going to back to their own worlds and forgetting everything that happened. Not entirely sure about the gameplay though, you could do what Koei does a lot and re-use the animations from those games and use them to make movesets that still use the characters main weapon, so they don't have to put too much work into making the characters from DW9/Origins, or SW5 characters work in the same game. That's my guess as to what they could do for those games characters. (They kinda already did that a lot of DW9 anyways)
Due to the popularity of Nordic gods in many media thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, WO4 did not let this chance to slip away by including Nordic Gods in the game. Judging by the popularity of hot genres in pop culture action movies, WO5 might be a multiversal-themed action game.
I mean considering it crosses over stuff like Atelier, Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, along with the historical figures, and gods, it kind of already is a multiversal action game since I doubt those games take place in the same universes/timelines as the ones in Dynasty and Samurai Warriors.
dude if something like this would to happen it would be dream game for me, I would play it none stop, like that would be the only game I would play for ever and ever but it will not happen, also you forget dynasty warriors god seekers game, 2 characters from there, no reason for them not to add them :) and as each game comes they do make new characters, lets say 5 new ones that would bring it up to 246 :) also nice video
I'll be completely honest, I kinda forgot about Godseekers. :P Although I'm not entirely sure I would add Lei Bin and Lixia to the list as they've never been playable in a musou-style game, since Goodseekers is a strategy RPG, but I could 100% see why you'd think they should've been here. Actually, considering how well this is doing for my standards, and with the release of DW Origins, I'll most likely end up doing a follow up to this, which would be correcting some info that wasn't the most accurate, and adding the new characters in DW:O, plus Warriors Legends of Troy, (Since after making this video I feel like I should've included it) so I probably will mention Godseekers in there as well. Nice guess on how many new characters could be there too btw. I'm glad you enjoyed the video as well.
Can warriors orochi be its own thing with only mystic fighters and gods and demons. No need to bring any samurai or dynasty warriors fighters. It can be a lineup of pure orochi characters.
The reason why they wont make another new WO game is because of the difference in fighting system.. DW9, SW5 are just too different.. And storywise, many people dislike WO4 story because of the derail from Orochi as the main Antagonist..
I mean considering that, like I mentioned, Zhou Cang is in Warriors All-Stars, and so many of the animations in DW9 are taken from DW8. I'm sure that taking the attacks from those games and turning them into the normal gameplay style wouldn't be too hard. Sure, it would take a lot of time, just like most things in game development, but I don't doubt it would be possible to do. And as for story, well who's saying we can't go back to Orochi as the main antagonist? All the heroes went back to their own worlds at the end just like always, so what's stopping the plot from bringing him back again? Plus, I don't think Orochi not being the main antagonist was really the biggest problem people had with WO4's story. (Although I will admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Orochi as a villain, he's not bad, and at the very least he is a means to an end. That end being having the casts of DW and SW together. But when WO1, 2 and 3's plots can be summed up as, "Stop Orochi from being resurrected" it kinda gets boring with the Dr. Wily syndrome. Not to say WO4's story is good, but it was nice to have a new villain. The problem was that it wasn't thought out all that well)
@@SirIsaacFortesque I guess they can do that.. Tho.. If they do.. Will they just give back the characters their old DW8 moveset? Or will they work on transforming DW9 moveset into the old style?? That's the big question I think.. As for the story.. While the whole story of stopping orochi from ressurecting is a bit off.. But isn't that only a thing from WO3?? WO1 and WO2, he just revived once and stay until he got killed in WO2.. And besides WO3 has the best story with their time travel stuff.. WO4 sure it is refreshing to see a new villain.. But going from Asian myth to a greek and norse is quite the big jump.. The characters just feel so out of place (I know there's weird collab char, but that's collab) not to mention the whole game title is Warrior "Orochi" If they do ended up making WO5 let's just hope they cook a better story.. I do want to play with some of the new character design from DW9, I really love the design change for Zhang Bao and some of the female characters..
@@GReyn I have a feeling that with there being quite a bit of backlash of cloning the characters and the assets already being in the old style I think they'd go back to the DW8 weapons and movesets, rather than use the ones from DW9. (Especially with how many characters were turned into clones when they weren't before like Zhuge Dan using Zhuge Liang's moveset, or Xiahou Yuan using Taishi Ci's. Seriously, I like both of those characters, but that's not a good fit for Xiahou Yuan) I will admit, I'm not really that familiar with Orochi 1, 2 and 3. I own 2, but I haven't played much due to my PS2 being on the fritz rn. And I don't own 1 or 3. (Which is why I used someone else's footage for WO3) So that may just be my inexperience talking. And yeah, I can agree that going from Asian folklore gods to greek gods is a bit weird, let's hope the next games story is better. (And the collab character you're thinking of is Achilles from a rather forgotten Koei Musou game, Warriors: Legends of Troy. Also known as Troy Musou in Japan... Maybe I should've included that in this video actually) 100% I would love some DW9 costumes in the next game, a lot of those designs looked pretty good. Some of My favorites would probably be Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Guan Yinping and Sima Yi.
It's like the Kylo Ren meme, "More!... MORE!". And considering that I did find a couple more things that I could add to the number, and DW Origins is coming out, I'm probably gonna have to make a follow up to this vid. Especially with how well it's doing

Destroy Zhou Yu before he takes Craig's Craig's Club
We must support Craig! (A fellow Koei Kollection fan I see)
Can warriors orochi be its own thing with only mystic fighters and gods and demons. No need to bring any samurai or dynasty warriors fighters. It can be a lineup of pure orochi characters.
hope they make wo5
I do too man, we'll just have to wait and see.

Warriors orochi 5 multiverse 😂.. Combine Era?
This could be possible since Samurai Warriors 5 rebooted the entire Samurai Warriors series
Not enough
It's like the Kylo Ren meme, "More!... MORE!".

Orochi 4 was disappointing and very bad, please don't repeat. 🤢
