Talk:Dynasty Warriors 7/Conquest Mode

Maybe it would be better for the scholar questions to be moved to another page. Seems like this page should be for explaining the basics of Conquest Mode, not also trying to serve as a guide for a portion of it. I think it would be best to have a specialized page for the questions. Seraphimneeded 08:31, April 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Think Scholar's Questions should stay since the goal of this page is to just cover everything for Conquest Mode. This page is supposed to look like a gigantic beast, and people are encouraged to add whatever they want for it. Just as long as it's Conquest Mode related information. Please don't try to put Story Mode information in here.


 * I personally think the game's in-game info is pretty solid and self explanatory for explaining what does what, so I didn't really think it was all that imperative to expand it. If you think it's lacking, gather a group of DW7 fans to add more to it. There's nothing really stopping you or anyone else from improving this page. Here's some ideas, if you want them, that would probably make this page better as a whole for readers who are interested:


 * Tips for farming status boosts since it can't exactly be done freely in Story Mode
 * List of specific Gaidens that somewhat replicate Free Mode's function for the series (like Yuan Shao's Gaiden for Guan Du). Kinda fills in a niche need for players who miss Free Mode.
 * Weapons - how they function in shops, how difficulty doesn't affect their stats, etc.
 * Merchants - what they sell at what spot and price listings
 * Map - Basic map that shows particular towns, character gaidens, and whatnot for those seeking them (will need updates for DLC though so might be better reserved for later)
 * More scholar questions since my translations of the Japanese questions would be kinda moot at this point. Admittedly, these should be at the bottom so as to not obstruct gameplay stuff that people might be immediately looking for


 * Just throwing it out there, but if you think it needs work and looks too basic, why not add whatever you think is good to it yourself? It's a wiki after all, where you can edit to what you think it needs. Have fun with it. :) Sake neko 10:11, April 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would agree with separating things but the original point of this sub page is to serve as a detailed guide. The basics about this mode is already summarized and covered on the game page. Kyosei 18:00, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Many more questions incoming
I just unlocked the final capital. This has caused the scholar to take up permanent residence in the cities. Expect a major flood of questions tomorrow (too tired to start now, forgot to add notes on several edits already). I may need some help if I miss some answers. On a side note, there is one missing right now for the name of the tome that Zou Ci found. Doing a text search for his name should bring up the particular question.

On a side note, this page is turning into the longest "stub" I have ever seen. :P Seraphimneeded 05:07, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

I noticed that some of the question & answer pairs are worded differently. Is this a difference between consoles? Take for example on my PS3 version I had the question "How many Northern Campaigns did Zhuge Liang carry out?" to which the answer is "5" (numeral). In the list, there is a similar question & answer pair of "How many times did Zhuge Liang attempt to conquer the north?" with the answer "Five" (literal). Certainly the former would have been easier since I could do a CTRL+F for the question. Unless...they reused questions but worded them differently...then should we at least note both styles of questions? Thoughts? AnimeKid 01:20, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * A handful of the questions are my old translations of the Japanese worded questions. Some are somewhat similar to the actual English port; some are radically different. I foolishly decided to do this before the game was actually localized since I thought at the time they would be neat to do. Then I realized that some questions weren't going to likely appear anyways since some of them are very Asian concepts, which understandably get killed in most Warriors titles during the company's localization process.


 * My translations were basically simple -sometimes literal- ones of the Japanese version, so they're already not going to be anything like the localized version. Same goes with some of the trophies of games that haven't been localized yet (Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 and Hokuto Musou back in the day for instance).


 * I do not intend to buy this game in English (personally not enjoying it a lot), so other people have been adding in the questions that appear with the actual localized versions. It's not a difference in ports. I do realize they were in a rush to translate this game for some reason (to beat the company merger or other games?), so I don't blame the localizers for their wording choices. It's just that some questions from the original Japanese version lost their integrity entirely whilst they were speed translating. Li Dian was never considered a part of the Five Generals of Wei....


 * BTW, if you're wondering, here's the list of questions collected on 2chan's wiki. Probably the best Japanese list for questions on the net at the moment. Sake neko 01:39, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
