Talk:Dynasty Warriors 7

Where are people getting the information for these characters being confirmed from, out of curiosity, is this just assumption based? Shadowclaimer 17:53, November 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * People are getting their information from the various screenshots and trailer. It's pretty easy to pick out the more memorable characters that haven't been confirmed by KOEI like the three oath brothers, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Cao, but that said the only truly assumption-based Warrior listed so far on the page is Sun Quan. There's only some few seconds of what could be his backside and his DW6 hair style. I'm surprised no one has put Cao Ren or Xu Huang on the list yet. GreatPanda 18:42, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah alright, see I wasn't sure if they were just slapping them on there because they were in previous games, which I mean 99.999% sure they'd return (Cao Cao for example), but its still raw assumption. I figured moreso if it was assumption we should add another category for "Assumed" characters until actual confirmation, but screenshot/video is confirmation enough.

Renbu?
I'm pretty sure KOEI themselves said that the Renbu system was not returning and that DW7 would be more like 2-5 gameplay. Mr Zurkon 08:33, November 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yea thats what I thought too, guess they went back on their word. - Shadowclaimer 08:59, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Omega Force actually didn't really touch up on that aspect and I've heard both sides claim charges are back/not back. The battle system/weapons is a lot like DWMultiraid 2 so the "charge" effects could have been fanciful R1 + attack abilities instead. Renbu is what Japanese news sites still say. Basically, just putting that for now and waiting for more fans to actually clear that up. Sake neko 15:26, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you watch the video with Sima Zhao gameplay, those two bars underneath the health bar are actually the musou gauges. It's like in SW where there are 3, in this there are now two because in the vid when he does that musou attack the bar drains, so I'm 99% sure that is a musou gauge and not the renbu gauge. Oh no he didnt.png Zurkon 07:54, November 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * The two musou bar note is already noted on the game page and everyone agrees on that one. It's the Renbu one that everyone is tiptoeing about. I've heard that the system is kinda like SW3 floating around as well (Musou + Renbu from weapons = brand new Musou!), but, like I said, there is nothing wrong with actually just waiting on this one. I'd rather have first-hand accounts from fans in at least one playtest before calling any other shots. Sake neko 09:10, November 4, 2010 (UTC)
