Musō Orochi 3 announced (sequel to Warriors Orochi 3) (KT/OMEGA FORCE - 2018)
- Thread starter Laplasakos
- Start date
just to let you know i'd consider Warriors: Legends of troy to be either the worst/second worst musou (of actual musou titles) But more characters from it/bladestorm would be nice to have in this game. We'll get more DoA and other KT franchise stuff. Wonder if we'll see a Pixie from Monster Rancher show up for the demon side or if monster rancher will stay a forgotten series.
Warriors: Legends of Troy exists, It was developed by Koei Canada and was awful.
Please let this be even better than the last one Orochi is the best warriors series alongside hyrule
I wonder if they'll hype up William as "the hero of Ni-Oh is in the game!" and pretend All Stars never existed.
Speaking of, Yodo Dono in the game please. Any game with Chacha is automatically a better game.

Crusade Warriors let's go!
Playing as Salah al Din in a musou would be amazing
One of the main disappointing things about William in All-Stars was that his character arc representation was obviously taken before the Nioh DLC. Otherwise, they would have done more interactions with him and Ryu Hayabusa, I'd imagine.
Also, since it'll likely be a long time before Samurai Warriors adds in Yasuke (if they ever do), can we get Nioh's version, instead?
I hope Omega Force bring the goods for this one. From what I hear Dynasty Warriors 9 was really bad...At least the last game in this series was pretty good though.
Not making that game is probably the smartest thing Koei has ever done.
DW9 is pretty divisive, and it's also really flawed on top of that. So you got people that don't like the open world direction at all, and then even for those of us that do, it's hard to admit that DW9 is actually great at nailing that aspect.
Personally I've spent more time with, and vastly prefer, 9 over 8 (and also 7, purely gameplay wise). The storytelling, the historical nuggets and also the new combat system (which completely blows the old one out of the water imo) are more than enough for me. I don't have any attachment to the old stage system or charge system, so seeing both of those go is perfectly fine for me.
(Also to be clear, I don't like the charge system anymore for mainline DW. I'm definitely looking forward to the DW8 cast getting the Orochi treatment in WO4)
This just reminded me thats theres a functioning Switch version of Orochi 3 and we didn't get it in the west until now.
This also reminded me that we never got a new Songoku Basara from Capcom, which also makes me sad. I suspect the missing competition in this subgenre is the reason the most recent Warriors games like Fire Emblem and 9 turned out so middling.

Yeah I'm really bummed about this. Japan got 3 musuo games for the Switch that are all translated into english, so bringing them over shouldn't be a problem, but they haven't.
I've been doing a little counting:
The DW8 series has 83 playable characters in total. I'm less familiar with SW but Wikipedia has SW4 pegged at 56 characters.
There's also Spirit of Sanada and Godseekers to consider (5 extra characters from SoS, not including different ages from Wikipedia again; 2 extra from Godseekers)
That means the roster is at least 140-ish characters, depending on if SoS and GS characters are included. This obviously also does not factor in Mystic or Guest characters.
This already puts the game nearly at WO3U numbers from the get go, which is kind of insane.

I wonder if Fu XI and Nu Wa will finally get their DW3 costumes (i like some of the older designs and like the options of changing characters up)
Normally I'd be pumped for a new Warriors Orochi game but given how Fire Emblem Warriors and Dynasty Warriors 9 turned out...
Gonna take a wait and see approach with this one. Hopefully they don't mess this one up.

This might be a dumb question, but is she a Nintendo character, or a Koei Tecmo character? Wasn't sure how that was worked out. She's probably owned by Nintendo.PUT HER IN
Warriors Orochi 2 wasn't a numbered title in Japan, so WO3 was released over there as WO2.
I dunno how FEW turned out (I don't have a Switch or any interest in getting one) but this game's already confirmed to be based off DW8
It also seems unlikely this game will be open world, because the Orochi universe is supposed to be merged China and Japan, and unless they've already been working on an open world SW5 for a substantial amount of time, they currently only have China to create an open world Orochi game with
Hope we get lots of Guest characters again.
William seems like a given, but I want more Atelier characters. Maybe Escha and Logy, even if it's from the previous series.

That's a fair point but at the same time, it's kinda hard to be enticed by a new title after so many missteps over the past year.
They should just use the Pirate Warrior games as a base for all Musou games going forward. The combat engine is miles ahead of anything else they have done and it feels so good to play. OW uses a mix of SW and old school DW and it feels so dated not to mention the garbage FOV they keep going with. Not sure if their partner ship with BM prohibits them from doing that but they really should start to think about moving away from old DW/SW engine and go with that if they can. SW4 was my breaking point with the Musous games but PW feels like such a refreshing take on the formula albeit maybe slightly aping Sengoku Basara slightly.
Have not played DW9 so maybe some people prefer that but anything is fine as long as they consider moving the genre forward just slightly even.

I'm mixed about this. Not looking forward to charge moves again, flow in DW9 is a massive step forward for the combat.
Maybe i'm the oddball, but i thought DW9's combat was trash (may have been due to the Framerate though since it felt so slow). Going to bet we're going to see a mystic or two have a few of the dw8 leftover weapon movesets. The real question is will we see any of the handheld characters from SW game that werent in SW4(forgot the name of the vita/3ds game), we're probably going to see one or some of the warriors all star original characters. DW9 characters will probably be skipped. Going to bet that Hayate will be in, and likely Zack (I'm willing to bet on Zack showing up in some way)
I wonder how they'll balance the SW4 moveset to work with the DW8 movesets though since we know its those two games. (were there new movesets in that Sanada game?)

While that might jive better with SW4 characters' hyper moves, it'd also be a huge kick in the teeth to DW9 players that will have to pay for new weapon skin DLCs.
I absolutely love DW9 combat but I just don't see it happening for practical reasons (SW cast is all still charge characters).
WO4 being DW8 style is perfectly fine for me because a lot of the systems in WO (team building aspect, tag switches etc.) remove a lot of the problems I personally have with the classic Warriors formula. Tag switches in particular make the very linear movesets way more fun to play around with.
The only thing that could be really disappointing to me is if the DW9 characters miss out on the fun. Aside from the different engines and different model quality between DW8 and DW9, it should be pretty easy to be cobble together a charge moveset a la DW6 > DW7 movesets (since everyone weapon but Lu Bu's in 9 got shared between multiple characters). I'll even be okay with DW9 characters getting the leftover DLC movesets instead (e.g. Revolving Crossbow for Man Chong, Stele for Hua Xiong, Piercers for Dong Bai, Yuan Shu and his silly shoes getting the Sabaton, Xin Xianying getting the Dual Fans, or maybe Xiao Qiao getting them and Xianying borrowing the single Fan instead etc.)

They're already confirmed to use DW8 as the basis of the DW characters, so they'll likely have all of their DW8 weapons. Going back to the charge system is going to feel weird after enjoying the new flow system so much, though. They will have to work out something for the DW9 newcomers, I suppose, but Zhou Cang was already in a charge system game in Warriors All-Stars.
Again, got the feeling we wont see the newcomers from DW9, just because 1 WO3U never added the DW8 cast into ultimate but only added Xu shu into the game since he was DW7 empire's newcomer and WO3 never added the Samurai warriors 3ds/vita exclusive characters despite the new game being out for some months before WO3u's release. Best to assume we'll only get DW8 empires full cast, Samurai warriors is the oddball with it either being the SW4-2 cast or SW:Sanada added. Mystics will all come back with probably new ones too. Cameos will probably be similar with the soul calibur girl being the only exception due to KT not technically owning it.
Finally. Skipped All Stars, because I felt this one would come out one day.
Off topic, but can you please get a ー added to your name? It drives me crazy every time.
Not really sure who to ask, I don't come across mod names very often.
They told me to just report posts.
Mod: This user wants their name changed to きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
Thanks! I had no idea that was something I could ask for.
Sorry to derail the thread guys.
You're probably right, but dang it! I'm not gonna stop believing I can run a Han Dang/Huang Gai/Cheng Pu team until Koei 100% have confirmed no DW9 characters
Aw crap, I forgot he was in All Stars
I am gonna be legit upset if that guy ends up being the ONLY DW9 character to make it into WO4 because of his All Stars appearance.
New additions I want
U-1 (Gitaroo Man)
Kenshiro (FotNS)
Lana (Hyrule Warriors)
Edward the Black Prince (Bladestorm
Rio (Super Black Jack)
Eren Yeager (Attack on Titan)
Noctis (Final Fantasy XV, KT developed Dissidia)
Guts (Berserk)
Slime (Dragon Quest)
Don't expect most of these aside from Rio and Edward, but it's crazy how many franchises KT has had a hand on since the last Warriors Orochi came out.
