?
Why on earth would this be nominated for deletion? The S (talk) 18:59, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because a game page should have more than three sentences for it. All that is known about the game presently is pretty much summed up on the Main Page and Yue Jin's page. Just wait for more information really. Sake neko (talk) 20:56, October 30, 2012 (UTC)

 * How about lets not? It will start out small, of course it will all game stubs do in the beginning. the page will gain new information eventually,jeez.

Name
Why can't you just name it "Dynasty Warriors 8"? Serious waste of time just naming it something that will eventually be retitled. ~Sereniama~ | Page ▪ Talk ▪ Wiki Contributions | 02:23, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

 * Because we dont know for sure if it will or not. Just look at Musou Orochi Z and Sengoku Musou 3: Moushouden. Also the fact they didnt do any voice translations for SWChronicls, DW7E or any of the WO3 games. the Warriors Western fan base is slowly dying due to game magazines and websites always trashing this game series, its gotten to the point that porting these games out west is always a nerve racking time for Koei because they never know who will buy a game or when. We dont want to get anyone's hopes up until official confirmation that the game is indeed going to be ported out here.

Speculation and Rumors
Someone on a chinese forum site has posted a list of characters who will be in DW8, please note this was posted back in August, before DW8 was announced, so the character list maybe true due to the fact two of the listed characters were already confirmed.
 * 1) KW Forum Post
 * 2) Chines forum post


 * The suposed full list of new characters to be revealed in DW8 are:


 * Wei
 * Yue Jin (confirmed)
 * Li Dian (confirmed)
 * Wu
 * Lu Su (confirmed)
 * Han Dang (confirmed)
 * Shu
 * Zhang Bao (confirmed)
 * Guan Xing (confirmed)
 * Guan Yinping (confirmed)
 * Jin
 * Jia Chong (confirmed)
 * Wen Yang (confirmed)
 * Zhang Chunhua (confirmed)

More information. Source info here and here

Zuo Ci is said to be returning, and the Others faction will also gain new characters as well, though who they are exactly has not yet been leaked so the provider can not give names yet.

Sun Quan is said to get a multi-sectioned sword, similar to Kai from Samurai Warriors 3.

a new weapon will be a 9-Toothed Rake, otherwise called a Jiuci Dingpa. (confirmed, Lu Su's EX Weapon)

another tweet from Insp Chin
It was taken down, but it was reported that he made another tweet regarding a western release:

"For those who kept tweeting me #DW8 stuffs in the past weeks. I hear you. Gimme 3 more weeks for this and let's make this happen! #TKfamily"

So we may get an official western announcement some time in the near future. Ixbran (talk) 04:24, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
