DW8 did come out in the meantime though...

 

Anyways, as for DW6 being rushed, I'd actually agree with that. IIRC it's the only DW so far to have actually removed characters and to have individual story modes but to exclude a bunch of characters from them. It also felt like it had a lot more cloned move sets than any of the others too.

Sounds like I did the right thing skipping that one then.

I hope they have most/all of my favorites in DW 9.
I didn't even look at DW8 cause I didn't finish DW7 yet. Mainly because I didn't find much to do in the game after a while. (I was under the impression that there were no ultimate weapons to farm, but I may have been misinformed.) But the open world concept sounds intriguing. It's time for a drastic change.

One thing that would be really cool is if you could create your own unit, and depending on your actions, pledge allegiance to one side, and then possibly betray them and go over to another.

DW6's battles felt really nice though. The battle system was pretty poor, but on a tactical level, battles flowed really well IIRC. Can't say the same about DW7 and DW8.

Also, DW8 has ultimate weapons. Well, sort of. They're pretty good, but with the weapon 'crafting' system (I don't remember the name, and there's actually two in Xtreme Legends), you can create weapons that are much, much better than the so-called ultimate weapons, which really diminishes the usefulness of the so-called ultimate weapons.

Your idea sounds a lot like the Empires games. I don't think they're quite that sophisticated yet, but they are quite flexible anyway. I just wish they were harder and required more strategy and tactics.

Dude, you skipped DW8? Quite possibly the best DW there is! Takes everything great about DW7, adds some cool new characters, more stages, gives everyone a unique weapon/moveset. Get the complete edition and you're getting even more on top of that!

As for your create your own unit thing, hasn't that been done before? I feel like something similar has definitely been done in at least one of the Xtreme legends games already.

It's definitely better than DW7, but oh the scripted battles with almost no actual freedom... And all the waiting behind the gates, such a horrible design decision. And all the confusing level design where you have to look at the map really carefully to know where to go. They did so much right with the game, then screwed up level design completely. There sure are some levels with a pretty neat layout, but the battles themselves don't take advantage of those layout properly.

I like the character designs. I just hope all of the characters have reasonable designs and aren't too over-the-top like some of the characters have been in the past. Even if it's just visual, I'll be happy! Also, the number of characters and their draw distance seem pretty nice. I hope it's not worse in the final game.

Koei just feels the need to outdo Sengoku Basara for characters sometimes lol

Anyone any idea what kind of sales we can expect for this on ps4 in Japan?

Not great.

The series has declined massively since the PS2 days. Probably looking around the 3-400k range.

If it does 400k in Japan it can probably do 1m+ WW

hmm, considering how poorly it usually sells outside of Japan that seems unlikely.

Considering how well it can sell in China and the rest of Asia it's not too unlikely!

It's looking really sexy, PS4 exclusive aswell, though will probably arrive on PC later knowing Koei.

IIRC DW8CE was the top selling PS4 game in China... yet that still never even got close to 1m. China just isn't a big market, maybe it would be if the game were on PC but not for PS4 games.

I'm pretty sure China isn't tracked very well though.
