Changes

 * If save data from the original game is present, players can use whoever they please in either Story Mode or Conquest Mode.
 * It's possible to play Story Mode with two players. This hasn't been confirmed if the game will have this option available at the start or only with a transfer of Dynasty Warriors 7 save data.
 * Characters can perform two new actions in battle: the ability to attack whilst moving (No Shadow Step) and an evasive action whilst on the ground (Turning).
 * Characters have changed their character growth by adding a new "General" ranking. As characters become stronger, they will learn specific abilities. An option to strengthen characters by reading strategy books found throughout the game is included. It's also possible to decorate characters with a set of accessories.
 * New weapons are in this game.
 * Ball and cudgel - two-in-one weapon. Characters use a stick to smack a ball into foes.
 * Podao - ancient long handled sword; looks somewhat like a naginata.
 * Two new modes have been added: Legend Mode and Challenge Mode.
