Zhang Liao

1. Badass. Probably the nicest guy in Lü Bu’s army, I just wish we had his motivations on why he was with Lü Bu to begin with. Maybe he was young and looking for a good fight? Anyway, he’s another one of those “way of the warrior” types like Xu Huang, Pang De, Taishi Ci, etc, but in his case, he’s a total bad ass, especially what he did at Hefei. He has cool hats, too. What i also really like about Zhang Liao is that while he’s such a demon on the battlefield, he’s kinda quiet and reserved off of it. Conversations between him and Sakon, and also Ling Tong, show that he doesn’t want people, especially children, to be afraid of him. And that it really bothers him that children are afraid of him. IIRC, mothers in Hefei used this to make sure their children behaved, “be good or The Demon of Hefei (Zhang Liao) is gonna get you”

2. I always liked the idea of him and Xu Huang being together. Hot beefy warriors kiss and smooch and defeat their enemies for their lord, then come home and cuddle afterwards. 

3. Lü Bu. He’s only got eyes for one perso-no wait they broke up. Well, I guess it could work out, but Zhang Liao deserves better. 

4. Hmm...I don’t have an answer for that

Xiahou Dun

1. I adore him. Love him, he’s my favorite Dynasty Warriors character. When I first got DW7, seeing that he was the main character of Wei’s story, I got to know and really like him. He’s handsome, brave, strong, badass, loyal, but also not afraid to put Cao Cao in his place. He’s really the only one who’s allowed to do that without getting dismissed or worse. 

2. Me! haha, but since that can’t happen, well, that’s why I have Empires :p but yeah, I’d say that Cao Cao is Dun’s soulmate, I wouldn’t say romantic, because, yanno, but seeing how much Cao lets Dun get away with, how loyal Dun is to him, how he’s the only one who calls Cao by his style name, etc etc. 

3. Oh...well I guess I probably should have put Cao Cao for this.. Xiahou Yuan, of course, they are kinda brothers, too. 

4. I can see how it possibly could have annoyed Wei fans to have Dun in almost every stage, and I was a little confused why Dun was the only one playable at Fan Castle in 7, when historically, it was really the Xu Huang, Cao Ren, Yu Jin (not playable yet at this time) and Pang De show. Dun being there settled the Guan Yu situation, but I think he could have sat that one out, especially since it was Wu who actually killed Guan Yu, thus setting off the events at Yiling. Yiling doesn’t make too much sense if it’s Wei/Xiahou Dun who kills Guan Yu

Sakon Shima

1. The Elvis shtick they had going for him in SW2 was weird, and I’m happy they mostly tossed that out in subsequent games. He’s a cool “older” guy who’s mostly calm and collected and wants to have some fun, too. 

2. Mitsunari. I don’t think anyone is better suited for Sakon than Mitsunari, whether you all like them romantic, platonic, or whatever, I think they’re just soulmates. Though I won’t lie, I was very amused by Sakon flirting with Zhuge Dan in WO3

3. Hmm...idk does Sakon really interact with anyone outside of Mitsunari? Oh wait, Sima Zhao! Yeah him and Zhao had a cool friendship going on in WO3. 

4. Hmm...as I mentioned, the Elvis thing was weird and I’m glad they got rid of it, sorry for the fans who liked that persona. I don’t really have anything negative to say about him, he’s not really one of my favorites, but I don’t dislike him either

Nene:

1. While they pull off the Hideyoshi infidelity stuff as a joke, he doesn’t cheat on her in game canon, which makes her yandere persona even funnier. I remember a conversation in Empires 2 between Nene and Hideyoshi that she said she was going to break his arms and legs if he went after another woman, then in the Orochi series, Nene chases him throughout Orochi World so that he wouldn’t flirt with the goddesses or the DW cast. That being said, Nene’s a nice lady, I think her motherly persona is charming and cute

2. Well, Hideyoshi is her historically and canonical husband, but..that doesn’t mean that’s the only guy I like with her. At first, I thought I could get behind a Kiyomasa x Nene ship, but Kiyomasa is actually kinda creepy towards her, and a creep in general, so I pass on that one now. I thought she and Hanzo were pretty nice together...actually, what happens in Orochi Land stays in Orochi Land, she should have got with Sun Jian ;) 

3. Non-romantic OTP...hmm...her and Nouhime should interact more. I thought her and Bao Sanniang had a cute friendship in Orochi, same with Ayane and Sophitia, too. 

4. I imagine making Nene into a ninja when she was first revealed must have been a little strange at first; as she was known for being a nun, and the woman at Hideyoshi’s side. With the removal of Kunoichi in SW2, I guess Koei needed a female ninja and seeing that they wanted to go into Hideyoshi’s reign, it made sense to have his behind-the-scenes- wife as a ninja. Not just any ninja, but a ninja mom who hands out spankings like she hands out candy, I guess Dommy Mommy is a trope people like in Japan? Seeing that we would later get Aya and Zhang Chunhua as very domineering mothers (if I’m wrong with this, sorry, I’d love an explanation from the JP fans on this :) )

But I can’t really think of an answer too much for this one other than ^^

Do you still do the "give me a character" thing? If so I am so excited what you would say about the following:

Nene

Sakon Shima

Xiahou Dun

Zhang Liao

Hope I can name multiple characters :)

always! :) I'll go ahead and do these individually to make it easier to read

Xu Sheng

Giving Zhou Tai a friend outside of Sun Quan was a risky move, considering it's been the Sun Quan and Zhou Tai show since 7, but it works. It's nice to see the bodyguard have more friends outside their liege-LOOKING AT YOU RANMARU

He's attractive, too, and i like his moveset. I haven't played his story so I don't know too much about him, but he seems like a nice guy

Date Masamune for character headcannon please~?

So here's a funny thing I've observed about Musou Masamune:

The Basara version is the more popular one, I think, and he's oft compared to Dante from the Devil May Cry series, even nicknamed Da(n)te Masamune.

HOWEVER.

It's actually Musou Masamune who has Dante's moveset. He has the guns and the sword, he even has Rainstorm, and uses the Gunslinger style.

Adding Kojūrō was the best thing Koei could have done with his character. Sure he has "friends" in Kanetsugu and Keiji, and Magoichi, but he didn't have a true ride or die like Kojūrō until 4, even though he's been a generic at his side since the first game. Kojūrō is the only person who's allowed to be snarky at Masamune, yet he knows how explicitly Masamune trusts him, after what happened to his father, how his mother and brother essentially betrayed him. He could use an actual enemy though, I think Mogami would have been a good add to foil him.

He's definitely gotten better in the 4th game, allowing him to live through his tragedies and try to overcome them with Kojūrō at his side

If you're still playing that game, how bout Sima Shi? :D

don't tell Zhuge Dan because I'm pretty sure he's coo coo for Shi's Puffs

I mean...idk, the most ships I've seen for him is with either Zhuge Dan or Sima Zhao...whatever the kiddos are into.

His moveset is fun, but I feel like he's just a filler character for now, dies early, then Zhao takes over, not too different from the Sun brothers. He could have more potential, but I don't know too much of his historical self or his story other than he's Zhao's older brother who gets shot in the eye during a rebellion, Zhuge Dan likes him, and he befriends characters like Nobuyuki on the "i have a younger brother too" trope

Ling Tong and Gan Ning?

oh they're definitely banging on the sidelines

So, Gan Ning flirts with Ling Tong shamelessly, but as soon as Ling Tong returns the favor, Gan Ning turns away shyly. Ling Tong does it mainly to spite Gan Ning, but whoops now Gan Ning is his pet kitty who he can't get rid of

Ranmaru! Let’s see How I feel about this character: A sweet precious goodest boy 

All the people I ship romantically with this character: hmm...I’ll have to see what Empires cooks with...Ran is kind of a hard character to ship people with

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Nobunaga. I mean...historically, yeah, it was kinda canon, but in game, Nobu and Ran are (at least to me) portrayed more like a father and son relationship (maybe i missed a lot of the dialogue in JP because I played the earlier games in English, maybe the language was more flirtatious in the JP script), but from what I see...yeah, sorry NobuRan fans

My unpopular opinion about this character: First off, Ran needs to be in the game, no reason to have an Oda-Centric game and not have Ran in there. He could be friends with Yasuke like how Dian Wei and Xu Zhu thrived together, he could have been friends with Mitsuki, etc. I think I would have liked him to have a bigger role in Anegawa and the fights against the Asai, considering the Asai army killed his father. At first, the jokes about him looking like a girl were kinda funny, silly in some cases, but it’s been 4-5 games now, time to put that joke to rest. Give him more interactions and more friends, him hanging around Nobunaga all the time diminishes a lot for him to do. I liked how he and Toshiie were friends in ..was it Empires? Show that while Ranmaru deep down is a good boy, he can have a blood lust streak due to the Oda’s influence. 

haven’t done one of these for a while

have at it ;)

I should have taken a screenshot, but why the hell is Liu Bei going to battle when we have no rations, 30 pieces of gold, and your soldier count is in the red. I saw the cutscene with him rising from his seat and said WHAT THE EFF ARE YOU DOING

of course we lost. It’s insane how tough the Battle of Chibi event is in Empires. Losing that battle wasn’t a loss of territory, but it’s a tough road to recovery

Ling Tong threw hit hat in the ring now. This game is bending over backwards and doing everything it can to make me marry Sun Quan 

I’m pursuing Gan Ning

[kw-warriors-innuendos-blog]

Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are all courting me, who should I marry? Or I guess I’ll let you all know who wins this round, or if anyone else joins in on the fun. I’m waiting for Lü Meng to throw his hat in the ring. Ling Tong and Zhou Tai, too. Hell,I might even add Lianshi to my harem.  Sun Shangxiang did try to kill me though, I think she’s mad at me

nobunaga

(p.s): he's perfect

Omg yes I love Zhang Liaos hair. I like short to mid length hair way better on guys than long hair so I was really happy when Xiahou Duns got shorter too 😍

it seems Koei is in a bit of a dilemma when it comes to Dun's hair, it changed from 6 to 9...heh 69, but I liked what they had going on for him in 7. Who knows, he might end up bald in 10. Kinda hope not, I don't think he could rock the no hair look.

Hopefully they don't change Liao's hair, he's been pretty consistent so far with his looks

haven’t done one of these for a while

have at it ;)

Speaking of Zhang Liao, I found it funny, (and adorable) that he’s this super badass armored guy, but his hair is like of a boy band pop star
