Dynasty Warriors 8: XL CE - Shu Story Mode 13-IF - Capture of Wei (Ultimate)

This is the Shu version of the final showdown with Wei. It's on the same map as the Wu one so it looks similar but it does feel pretty different. The four characters you can be go one of two ways on their way to Cao Cao, with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang taking the more direct approach while Zhao Yun is on Liu Shan babysitting duty, except it's been like 20 years and the baby isn't a baby anymore.
It's a pretty good finish for Shu, better than Wu at any rate. I like Cao Cao in pretty much every ending he's in lol. For Shu he even smiles at Liu Bei. He was a lot more accepting of Liu Bei's ideals than Wu's, even if Wu's were more close to his own.
Next up is Jin.

[@enbaconing9507]

I like how Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are just staring at a wall.

[@stevenchoza6391]

I guess Cao Cao takes his loss here better than he does his defeat at Sun Quan’s hand is because, if he’s going to lose, I guess he’d rather it be against someone who opposes him ideologically, given some sense of meaning to their conflict.

[@jamesdc2867]

Agreed, I don't see how Wu or the Sun family's ideology matches up with either Liu Bei or Cao Cao's ideologies. They were just there to claim Jianye and preserve it.

[@xShinigamiRyukuux]

14:25 Jia Xu: Why would you fight on your own? It is such a wasted effort. Liu Bei: *singlehandedly blows away entire crowd*

[@indrapamilangan8572]

Liu bei yeet everyone

[@jowoboy9911]

Really Liu Bei since DW 7 new model, and move set is really strong here lol

[@lunatic0verlord10]

To me, it seemed that Cao Cao knew that his ambition would just get in the way of whatever Wu was planning, so he decided to go down fighting for he knew that was the only way.

[@newthchannel2613]

Cao Cao really show respected to Liu Bei,even his last breath. Liu Bei will never forget his last words "In that case,do what you will"

[@raphaelbarroso2949]

Zou ci and Zhang jiao liked this video

[@rikotennyson4346]

Exactly, Zuo Ci like to supporting Liu Bei.

[@dederiziq685]

Hey zhang jiao will spread his pagan religious not support liu shan father

[@趙禹澤]

Agree

[@danielchandrawinata9341]

Liu Bei's musou(thunder fang or whatever it's called) is actualy a rework of his musou at DW6

[@Tegar_Bayu]

I just called it "Spinning Virtue" because he spinning twin sword himselves and releasing shockwave for medium area. Same like Cao Cao at DW6,when you has infinity renbu and do last charge attack(5th charge attack),he releasing shockwave with same area as Liu Bei.

[@tannerlion1994]

"My Time is Now"

[@fushigiman140]

The ending kinda remind me the manga call Tenchi wo Karau where Liu Bei defeat Wei and become the emperor of China

[@tannerlion1994]

Warriors of Fate

[@agustinuszheng588]

Yes yes yes. And Later... Cao Cao: Inconceivable! I want to do more in my role! If only they make a new installment... Sun Quan: Yeah, me too! Hope they make the next one... But.... The official made by capcom was never made until now. There were two, but unofficial. One is fighting game for Mega Drive, another one played like Final Fantasy 1 - 6.

[@-Masterklutz-]

I remember the vita version saying the enemy officer was slain

[@tannerlion1994]

Enemy Officer Defeated

[@trystar-sl1mi]

Cao cao's death is sad nevertheless.

[@Enrico_Coco97]

If Lian Shi also being here to support her guardian & Liu Bei...

[@NoelJohnCarlo]

Like Sun Shang Xiang?

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

If only the word “benevolence” never existed.

[@moh.adipramudiono9467]

I thought Sun Shang Xiang is gonna say something when she steps forward 😅

[@shanexiiao9282]

Isn't it awkward when private talk about liu bei story? Are this battle of xu chang? 10:23 epic strike

[@KepoEmperor]

Top bad Guan Yu and Zhang Fei not playable in hypotetical route They only appear as NPC

[@SinCity2100]

I recognised that Cai Yuanji is the only one to survive.

[@blessedstellaronhunter]

SinCity2100 I thought it was ‘Cai Wenji’. But still, yeah.

[@arcade4911]

@@blessedstellaronhunter it was Cai Yan but in the game it's Wenji

[@SlenderMan-uWu]

Hahaha, if I directly pronounce Cai Yuanji into Chinese, it actually translates into "Vegetable Garden Chicken"

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

Cai Wenji is too good for this world...

[@ssctiyo4735]

​@@SlenderMan-uWu some of these chinese names are pretty hilarious when translated, which is why i never wanted to know its meaning, because i cant look at the officer the same way anymore lmao.

[@dugster304]

Does the officer you play which are already present as AI, do you replace him/her?

[@Xaldin007]

Yep. That happens with all the story mode characters, and with the addition of XL it now happens in Free Mode with every character.

[@dugster304]

I see. So that means they can't have two same officers in a stage, unlike in the original DW8 where there's two of them.

[@afcmax93]

Who would of thought it keeping Zhang Jiao and the yellow turbans, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and allied with Meng Huo would save not only Lui Bei life keep the alliance with Wu Alive but save his brothers from being killed not only that keeping Xu Shu alive with Pang tong put less Stress on Zhuge Liang and keep him from dieing

[@xx4u126]

I think Zhuge Liang & Liu Shan as playable characters were bad decisions. Guan Yu & Zhang Fei deserved that

[@Shinobi_Fox]

I can get Zhuge Liang being there, since it is his and Liu Bei who brought a combined vision for creating Shu, but fuck Liu Shan.

[@MrSnake1994]

i always think liu bei is bad at nurturing his children to become a good leader. Look how Cao Pi contrast to Liu Shan.

[@blessedstellaronhunter]

tfw Cao Cao dies to a weapon switch

[@danielchandrawinata9341]

I see some combos are the same as in DW6

[@akuirna]

I can imagine about this scene where the picture highlights all the SHU for the victory against the Wei kingdom, suddenly cracks appear in the picture it turns out it was just a dream controlled by Orochi, this could be good for continuing the Orochi Warrior series instead of making them meet again in the previous series it was very pushy

[@AilinenBali]

Playable characters in this chapter: zhuge liang,liu bei,liu shan(or whatever his name is i forgot), and zhao yun

[@TJ100XBOI]

U should also add the storyline before the battle

[@galacticknight55544]

Why does Cai Wenji survive this battle when all the other unique officers die?

[@NoelJohnCarlo]

Good Question, maybe she's just like the people of Shu? 🤔

[@vincently1995]

What if Liu Bei restores the Han Dynasty?

[@muhammadzariff7075]

That was his goal from the start. If this cutscene had actually happen in actual history. i’m pretty confident that Liu Bei would have declared himself Emperor of a new Han, just like how Liu Xiu(Emperor Guangwu) did after overthrowing Wang Mang. Wang Mang was the one who usurped the Han by declaring himself emperor of the Xin dynasty. Thus why, there’s two era of the Han dynasty. Western Han and Eastern Han.

[@rustth]

@@muhammadzariff7075 but in here, Cao Cao still alive and so does Liu Xian. Only when Cao Cao died, Cao Pi will usurp the throne from Liu Xian

[@thesuddendemise7735]

Simple he would have Usurped power and likely declared a new dynasty

[@georges9694]

I believe if Liu Bei has the same amount of resources as Cao Cao or at least 2/3 Cao Cao resources he can unify China.Liu Bei can even build a faction that become 1 of 3 great faction from nothing.Liu Bei doesnt lack any Talented Warrior and Strategist,He outmatched Wei and Wu.Such as Guan Yu who are called the God Of War in this Era,Zhang Fei a man who equal a thousand man,Ma Chao who can unify Qiangs Tribes,Zhao Yun who excels at Bodyguarding someone(He fight on par with Xu Chu) and even good at strategy(search empty fort strategy),Huang Zhong who outmatched Xiahou Yuan Archery,Even Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong too who give a great Foundation to Shu at Yi and Jing province .Too bad Wei is the one who destined to conquered on this era,Abundant resources and population

[@IFJF4NT1M3]

​@@georges9694 Wei is the best. Wei has plenty of strategy. Shu is only lucky to have Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang and even then that is how far they could go

[@amirreza8790]

I did not find this stage on pc version

[@bilalburhan6201]

can you give me name of the music at the end

[@24Pudders]

The ending i wish kessen 2 had 😢

[@Kakashifan589]

[@JamieATang-yc5cw]

Did this really happen or is this part of the story fictional? Thanks.

[@tarvos199]

It is fictional

[@vvee0824]

Are you doing lu bu story again?

[@Xaldin007]

I am indeed.

[@johan78978]

Cause I think a generic defeat cao cao

[@muhammadgozal6336]

Grrrr Talking with everyone in the castle make me Boring

[@riansyahlie5383]

Why are you not use Liu Shan?

[@alis-ry3pf]

Only pussies play Liu Shan. He’s a disgrace and should be deleted from the roster.

[@lenghia1526]

@@alis-ry3pf : I hope KZbin could add the laugh emotion for me to use haha!

[@xShinigamiRyukuux]

@@alis-ry3pf Nah. Liu Shan, Pang Tong, and Fa Zheng are literally carrying the rest of the Shu roster.

[@danieleccles6428]

Guan Yu should have been a playable character on this scenario. A much more relevent and meaningful opposition opposition to Wei than Lui Shan.

[@michaeldavid1566]

His moveset sucks

[@Ralph3able]

Is the bgmusic a remix of DW6?

[@o0oABEL]

Yes it is, Xuchang theme
