DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 All 90 Characters Compared to DW8 | 真・三國無双8 VS 真・三國無双7

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

Zhu Rong's DW9 design is amazing. It just screams "tribal warrior queen" and it's perfect in every way.

[@KueztionX]

Dw8 is better

[@zackfair6791]

I usually try to form brotherhoods that make some sort of sense for the character historically, but I always end up finding some way to rationalize having Zhurong as a sworn sibling or a spouse.

[@gianoscargerente8714]

INDEEED😩

[@tnargtnarud]

The cloning weapons/moves will never make sense to me whatsoever. The characters with their PERSONALIZED weapon was what made them UNIQUE and gave players more of a preference and option of learning or having more variety. Not only that, they went and removed some of the character's (imo) signature weaponry. Diao Chan has a whip? Zhen Ji has a whip? Cai Wenji has a whip? Pange De has a mace? I mean for god's sake Zhang He now has throwing daggers? Wtf. Just really questionable decisions from Koei.

[@rahman9749]

tnargtnarud its more realistic for a woman to go to the battlefield with whip rather than with a flute or a harp. besides, diao chan had always been using whip since few last installments...

[@tnargtnarud]

I'm going to assume you're joking, because women can just as much wield a sword or spear like some of the other female characters have. If you're really having me to believe that a woman's only realistic weapon is a WHIP ON A BATTLEFIELD? You have issues. Yet throwing knives, fans, and NUNCHUCKS are suitable for the battlefield as long as a man is using it right? You see where logic got lost with your comment?

[@rahman9749]

tnargtnarud haha sorry didnt mean anything bad, well, i was just comparing whip to flute and harp, if KOEI really wanted to be realistic, everybody would use spear, sword, or polearms. my point was, whips are more realistic to use rather than flute and harp, since were talking about Zhen Ji, Wang Yuanji, and Diao Chan. as for weapons like nunchaks, fans, flying swords, small boats, wooden bench, they are by no mean realistic anyway. its not a big issues anyway, at least for me. been playing since dw3 and already got so used to the various weapon changes.

[@rahman9749]

Idk with you guys, but as a guy who played DW series and ROTK series throughout the years, I actually wanted to see KOEI prepared more than one model for characters that lived long. I mean, it wouldnt hurt to see there are "young" and "old" version of characters. it kinda broke the immersion when Zilong appeared in battle for Han Zhong with the same young guy appearance when he was fighting the yellow turban. . I mean, it would be awesome if we can see figures like Sun Quan who ascended to the throne in young age and change into the older, more charismatic leader. I mean, they all started young and grew older along the story, right?

[@davis2145]

[@AldenBunagCDAD]

Characters with the same weapons and movesets, Dynasty Warriors 4 and 5 did a good job of differentiating everyone, but then 6 brought back a lot of clones (it was the worst one so far), 7 changed things up but still had a lot of clones while 8 gave every single character their own unique weapon and moveset while still having access to every other weapon. It's disappointing to see that they're bringing back clones again.

[@laertblood]

May be they will do different movesets for all clones... I played 4,6 and 8. And yes for my opinion 6 was the worst of them... But not only cause of weapons and clones...

[@janmarcoperezbatres2203]

I actually liked the clone system on DW7. It was done right there since every character had his own attack and musous. I suppose its not possible right now to give each warrior their own moveset since this is a new combat system. With 8 it was possible since 7/8 was almost the same. Im pretty sure an "advanced edition", or probably 9 will feature less/no clones at all. Give them a break.

[@RiolNeo963]

I can't wait for Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires to come out or Dynasty Warriors 9 Extreme Legends. Anyone else agree?

[@kalibbarnes7672]

Riol Neo I'll agree once I see how this turns out

[@planescaped]

Some look good, some look worse, the vast majority look almost the same. I guess with how big the roster has become variation in the new designs for non-female characters isn't much of a priority. Specifically a lot of characters DW9 designs look a lot like their DW4 or DW5 design kitbashed with their DW8 design.

[@Krescentwolf]

Not a fan of clones, but I'll probably suffer through. Part of my problem is the devs going 'hey yeah! we can't have flying swords cause realism...' yet they have rakes, giant iron balls, massive swords, and that sword-fan just throws that argument right out the window. If they'd just been honest and said they cut movesets because they had to revamp the game-flow for open world... i might be more willing to forgive em... Oh well... here's hoping the movesets get dlc'd back in. Maybe by empires I won't have anything to complain over. XD

[@smward87]

All of the weapons you cited are based on actual weapons that existed at the time. Yes even the sword-fan. It was nowhere near as intricate of course, but a weapon extremely similar did exist. The giant iron balls are called a meteor hammer. Gogo in the movie Kill Bill uses it. For the rake you need to consider a very large portion of the army was made up of peasants. Also Lu Su was a farmer himself before being enlisted by Wu. In fact it's because he shared his crop and farm techniques with Wu soldiers that hewas enlisted in the first place. So his rake is a reference to this. That said, you could easily kill someone with a rake designed to plow hard soil, so it's not far fetched at all as a weapon. The massive swords are based on zhanmadao. Literally "horse chopping sabers". Guess what their intended use was? For reference they were about 200cm long (6.5 feet) The main difference is they were actually rather thin. They resemble katana's more than anything, only 1000 years before katana existed.

[@Krescentwolf]

The flying swords are a common wuxia/xanxia weapon. But i guess that's not realistic. So what about Yueyings Warscythe? They're called Ge and were used on actual battlefields for at least a hundred years. That's probably alot more field use than the fansword or the snake sword ever got. Oh yeah... Those are both wuxia weapons too by the way. Or Sun Ce's tonfa? Another actual weapon that got cut for some reason. The point is... They're picking and choosing based not on what is 'realistic' or what isn't. They made cuts to the moveset roster because they had to spend more time coding other things. 'Realism' is just a stupid excuse. Zhou Tai's China-Katana being what appears to be a dao moveset with a katana skin is proof of their limited timeframe. That's not even mentioning the magic wand weapons that Jia Chong (i think it was him) was shown using in one gameplay video. I can almost... ALMOST guarantee alot of the old 'unrealistic' movesets will come back as dlc. I just don't like stupid excuses. That's all.

[@smward87]

You're right. Not all the weapons removed were because they were unrealistic. I was merely pointing out that what they were replaced with or the ones you specifically pointed out were also completely real. Regardless it was just an excuse and Koei shot themselves in the foot for saying it. The real reason is simply due to the new combat system, they trimmed down the weapon count to make it easier to work with and program thus the cloning.

[@strbrrydrgn]

Zhurong and Yue Ying look the best to me so far. But overall design of all characters is very similar to how they used to look in DW5, at least some of them that were playable back there. I'm so mad they took Zhen Ji's flute and Zhang He's claws AGAIN. But what pains me the most is Lu Lingqi's double spike that was fucking iconic. I don't want Xing Cai pt2.

[@BigBellyBirdyPlaysGames]

Asif Faruky I see what you did there. XD

[@aiirysachiika1902]

I think I prefer the skin on dw 8, it seems more “characteristic” than the dw 9 since they made it more realistic and closer to real human. Especially diao chan on dw 6, she seems cuter and sweeter or, lets just say have some character in her face profile (somehow diao chan looks very different on dw 9 almost unrecognizable). And Tbh its sad to see most of the unique weapons taken out and replaced to more realistic weapon, it makes dw have more and more serious tones (especially the storyline. They made it more into the war and strategy rather than other story like the romance. For example the romance between diao chan and lu bu) but i still love the series either way. My love wont fade, still love it since the first dynasty warrior game.

[@aiirysachiika1902]

Gman 90 i couldn’t agree more. I hope they don’t destroy the franchise sooner lol. But yeah, at least they made a progress by making it open world.

[@NortonTaylor]

Adding Urumi's seems pretty cool. But honestly all I care about as a Daqiao lover is that there are no more stupid ass magical girl pugil sticks.

[@cosmofried]

I lowkey liked the sticks though Maybe it's because I'm gay- but anyways it was cute

[@Com.Shep.N7]

Xiahou Dun was my first character in 2003 and will ever be my prefered. As Rough as Calm. As Faithful as Proud. The best partner you can wish on the battlefield.

[@lindyxiao8770]

It's like, you want to think they took a step forward, but, Caiwenji's Harp...

[@lindyxiao8770]

Welp ZenJi, Caiwenji, and Diaochan are basically the same person now..

[@YellowPlagueProductions]

Thanks for the upload! Some of the DW9 outfits look great.

[@albabyahya]

why did they changed Zhang He’s weapon omfg

[@BasicSneedEducation]

DW9 designs are killing it. They even topped some DW8 designs I liked.

[@JustAnotherLee]

Gan Ning what have they done to you ☹

[@JackalGoldKick]

UnKnownLeegendTV Gaming exactly he used to be such a badass now he's boring with the dumb whip chain and whip rock shit.

[@Dukeofpancakes]

His weapon sucks but I feel like he has more of that original DW4/5 look, so for more nostalgic players he looks more badass now

[@blizzardkhaos]

He looks way more badass now

[@CYPRESS585]

UnKnownLeegendTV Gaming for real! I missed he's sword. :(

[@oscartan7750]

Missed his old weapon BA JIANG; or also known as river blade or smth in the eng version...

[@mikielee735]

It's kinda crazy how this game started from being just one game and turning into 9 dynasty warrior games with spinoff dynasty warrior games that follow.

[@SoulCrusherEx]

ugh... Clone Weapon Warriors... again?! I bet they will charge us money in form of a DLC that is called DW 1-8 Weapon pack where we get those Weapons for them back. 8 Weapon DLC's and then those extra Weapons they had in any of thier DW games also as DLC cause it was DLC in the first place.

[@SoulCrusherEx]

no its not better its both scheiße if i may say in german. Bullshit or shit

[@forgottenfamily]

I'm guessing it's a new engine to take advantage of 8th gen consoles just like 6 was heavy on clones because they were using the new engine for 7th gen consoles. Sucks but understandable.

[@mareo187]

SoulCrusherEx don't give them any ideas

[@SoulCrusherEx]

its to late for that bruh ;O i hate myself for doing that ;O....

[@jordanpond4240]

Brendon Fradette no ur just not be productive or creating good conversation, ur just being a scumbag to intentionally piss people off like the trash u are. It pisses me off to remember i share the air i breath with garbage like u. Now if u were to actually strike up a good conversation that would be good but i doubt ur tiny brain could think of anything worth acknowledging

[@SpecOpsDoctor]

Cao Cao looks like Nobunaga Oda and Xiahou Dun looks like Kazuya Mishima

[@lolifuta7387]

Fakkkkk zuo ci lost his cards gg im done

[@Amagem81]

That's disappointing

[@HaggisDruid]

Loli Futa Man I don't know what the fuck they're thinking. At least Lei Bei has his beard back.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

Loli Futa Just look at what they DID to Zhang He

[@lolifuta7387]

Digital Deathsquid yep its embarrasing

[@omeganism]

I'm just sad that they got rid of some of the characters most iconic weapons. Zhang He's claws? Sun Ce's Police batons?! And not to mention that they're adding back the couple weapons thing (ex: Xu Zhu and Huang Gai, Ga Ning and Jia Xu)

[@tashaaleia]

I find that in DW9 the characters look amazing and stunning. The character designs definitely improved and i love how they went with a more traditional "old" style outfits. The women also doesn't look too sexy so it's great. But it's clear that they downgraded the weapons design which i think DW8 is more appealing with. Seriously. Why can't you just do both Koei?

[@romanumeralz]

Gan Ning has always had dope renders! He's like the Jack Sparrow of the franchise.

[@alessandrofeliciani6062]

This game could be done so much better speaking of the gameplay, yet i still spend hours on it

[@Redsteel91]

I am just just glad they gave mostly everyone a melee weapon. Giving some people nothing but bows was an awful idea.

[@thelaughingrouge]

My girl Yueying looking fine as HELL!

[@singgihsuhariyanto8563]

Woooow. It's so realistic, really really realistic that zhuge liang, sima yi and zhuge dan can kill enemies with their fans. Good job Koei.

[@blue_courville3750]

Gta5 you able to kill someone with a tazer

[@mastertadakatsu]

lol

[@LuckiSir]

14:32 JUSTICE!

[@riodaffa99]

Oohh... Wang Yi,Yue Ying, Zhu Rong and Lianshi looks gorgeous, and Lu Bu,Gan Ning, Ma Chao looks badass as always :v

[@13Kr4zYAzN13]

Is it me, or do designs seem more...simplified this time around?

[@vilvethope]

13Kr4zYAzN13 nope there’s a problem with your eyes

[@l.madrid8815]

They are...you are right

[@l.madrid8815]

vilvet hope there's a problem with your attitude....the did simplify they were going for less sci fi

[@rmattoali]

they are going for a more traditional look, more similar to their attire in the early DW

[@rahman9749]

13Kr4zYAzN13 yup, they are being more lore-friendly it seems. I actually wish they put the beard back to sun quan though

[@BlazinBro786]

they all look amazing, shang xiang still looks cute same for Bao too though i prefer her DW8 hairstyle, Xin Xiangying is probably my favourite new character, shes so cute

[@Solus1994]

See I don't mind the cloned weapons because they are focusing on gameplay and they have I've 70+ character s

[@Kemite_Gaming]

I don’t like it to be honest. Simply put they could’ve kept movesets and just add more ex attacks to it. Adding more clones cheapens the value of characters and make me uninterested in using them.

[@SigureRangiku]

I reached that point of understanding with this video. I was giving an ice-cold-eye to the game, but due to the 90 characters I can stop doing that. Character models look great, the world looks great.

[@kennethshiro9500]

Honestly imo there needs to be less playable characters and they need to focus more on making the existing characters' movesets more unique. DW6-2 on the way.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

whitekitsune 1857 Clearly they didn't. The game looks and plays like a 2-bit Steam Direct asset flip

[@nguyenlai2761]

finally the real Liu Bei have become back, in DW7,8 what kind of big brother who is younger than his brother

[@fenharel7024]

They definetly made the character models more modest and traditional. I like that change. It's more realistic to what and how they would have dressed back in China during those days then how they looked in in 8,7, or 6.

[@ZorgaMasquess]

Fen Harel but still Ma Chao in DW 6 looks awesome as hell

[@markoliimatainen2565]

Yes, its more realistic in terms of clothing, but i dont like new boobs. Old game had better boobs. Thus better gameplay too.

[@tankiemphituyet5969]

Dynasty Warriors 6 - the beginning of Medieval Europeanization all characters, lol. Remember Lu Bu's double cross blades, a legend of critical comment, haha.

[@magnuscritikaleak5045]

I am proud to say, his daughter carried his swag legacy

[@sayonarababy335]

this game will become beast!!!! Gonna preorder!

[@technicalnonsense]

Wow... the design has gone back to my traditional outfit; all the old character looks as they did back in DW3

[@MelonnArt]

my impressions. WEI Cai wenji: yeah! ditch that f*ckin harp. its enough that Zhenji has a flute.( awwww yeah trick whip in the house !!).. than you Koei Dian Wei: oh god NO !!! Dian Wei please !! stick with you signature scowl!! stay badass!!!. Li dian: KYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[@KINGbreeze27]

Same my first dynasty warriors was dw3, still one of my favorites. Lets see if this takes the cake xD

[@nomannothedark]

There are many old design that look better than the new ones. I do like the new look of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao though

[@Hoangvlh]

can i still move faster than horse by using zhoutai's katana :'v

[@riko1676]

Man the improve of character visual are so great,apreciated them

[@bolin9242]

Daamnn Xu Sheng 😍😍🤩 He’s the first video game character that turns me gay.

[@TheTrooperMB]

i always thought he was the Egyptian one :D

[@darkkimpetus]

at least Zhurong has kept her weapon this time, unlike DW7 🥲 Also, can we talk about the changes of some voices, like, Lu Bu’s? Ugg

[@HunterDriguez]

5:22 Did they....did they take away Zhang He's claws???

[@natedawgdoge5005]

It's a shame this game didn't turn out too great, because these new costumes are exactly what I wanted: more inspired by traditional Chinese armor and patterns than the anime bullshit that 6-7-8 did. Here's hoping they keep the visual style for DW10. ALSO BRING BACK ALL THE UNIQUE WEAPONS. People praised DW8 for this, why would they get rid of it again, lol??

[@ExtraordinaryJam]

Need warriors orochi 4

[@AdventurerOfOblivion]

It's probably never going to happen.

[@ExtraordinaryJam]

Chilling Villain yeah, there are too many characters already

[@AdventurerOfOblivion]

While the number of characters is relevant, it has more to do with the fact they've wrapped up the series in such a way they can't do anything more with it. It has dragged on far too long and I think they've accepted that.

[@ExtraordinaryJam]

Chilling Villain I guess you"re right!

[@GlitterPrincessOfDarkness]

Chilling Villain say what HAHAH

[@Lord2wiceAsReal]

Lu Lingqi, Lu Bu & Zhurong are my favorites
