I posted this in the other warriors thread but, am I the only one here who really dislikes the new VO for Zhang Liao?

Nope, physical. I'm just looking at Lu Bu forever.

Yeah doesn't really suit him, but then again we had the same VA for several titles that it makes it plain weird.

New DLC Weapon announced for Japan. I hope the gap to get the Stone Pillar and these aren't too long.
Lianshi getting a possibly fast/mobile weapon intrigues me.
It's going to be interesting to see where all these DLC (there's already 8 of them now announced) will actually go to.
It's different and he sounds less threatening now, lol.
I kinda got used to it but still it was hard to get used to.

So does the filter system work like I'm understanding? Players can select 1 (or multiple) weapon element(s) and have it show only weapons with that? If so, it'll make fusion soooooo much faster 
.
The Flame Blade and Twin Fans going to Quan and Xiao seem almost like a given.
They are better fits and it would remove 2 of the 6 weapons generics use from being EX weapons.
I hope the Pillar goes back to Meng Hou.
The gloves moveset just don't feel right for him. I like the grabs and whatnot, but they'd feel better on a new character. Meng Hou's old gloves moveset fit him much better with the wilder attacks (C1 Animal Run, Crossbody Blocks, Cannonball Splashes, etc...). If the Pillar doesn't go to him, I can easily see them adding a new clan member to put it on.
I could see them giving Suo the Sabatons.
They fit him well since his Ex and Musous are more focused on kicks anyways (unless they changed them / I forgot something).
Lian Shi with the Mandarin Duck Hooks works well considering her relationship with SSX.
However, I could also see them leaving the crossbow on her and putting them on someone new.
Same goes for the Bladed Crossbow and Yueying.
She already has her classic Scythe and it doesn't need to be replaced.
I hope we get brand new characters for the Rotating Crossbow and Eimei Piercers.

Hmmm Ambition mode's framerate is more tolerable for the current version of DW8 on Vita.
Will the DLCs bought from the PS3 version be downloadable via the next patch or waiting for something to be enabled?

Yeah, those all make sense. (Too much sense for Koei to probably go with all that). Would be really nice for Sun Quan, Xiaoqiao and Guan Suo to get the new DLC weapons.
I think the Rotating Crossbow will probably go to a new add in Jin. Dunno about the Eimei Piercers.
Wonder if they'll do the whole weapon changing in DW8E or just wait to DW9.
Not patch but supposedly whenever the DLC gets released (again) for the PS4/PSV versions, they should be free for those that already bought them the first time on the PS3 version.
I for some reason expect something to go wrong regarding this though, lol.

>__< I have a similar feeling lol, they had better release all the weapons first.
It's more annoying, in that sometimes the lag throws of the timing of my button presses so I use the wrong move, it's more a free mode/story mode problem. Not as bad in ambition mode, but hopefully the patch that gets rid of the lag comes out soon. Would like to play the new stories.

Out of interest which stages have noticably bad frame rates in story mode on the Vita version? I'm playing the game on the Vita at the moment and haven't encountered any real instances when I'd say the frame rate was bad enough to ruin my enjoyment of the game. Its a pretty fun port so far, being able to take it to work with me to play a mission here and there is cool. Can't wait to get my hands on my import copies of Samurai Warriors 4 and Shin Gundam Musou now...

Battle of Chibi will probably the absolute worst one. And not even when it's on fire.

I miss the old SunshangXiang and Xiahou Dun hairstyles.
Edit: I cannot believe they didn't include the arrow-eye-eat-ambition-scene with Xiahou Dun in DW8.
i think they removed it to keep it a T rating.
I miss the Xiahou Dun vs Guan Yu movie spar before you chase him
Any levels with burning buildings will tank your fps. Louyang, the banquet, etc. Chi Bi is pretty bad too. Also anytime Taishi Ci appears on screen during a fire it slows a little. If you have more than 5 significant officers on screen, it tanks. If you have more than 5 significant officers on screen and are in a burning building and there are peons all around you, the game can actually go as low as 3 fps. Not even joking. It's only happened once, but it was absolutely terrible. This was on Chi Bi.

Yeah, just played that on my Vita over lunch and it got ROUGH. Single digits at times during the fire easily.

PS4 has the same problem with fire. Some of them very strange. In Hu Lao Gate if I play Zhang Fei and help the peasants in the burning city the framerate drop to single digits. However if I play someone else, like Xiahou Dun, the framerate doesn't go down that bad. But in general anything with fire shoots the framerate in the foot on the PS4.

Cool, thanks. I just did Louyang and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Not great but still playable.

So I asked the local video game place to boot this up so that I could give it a try. Damn, this series got a lot more complicated since I last played it on PS2. Musou moves out the asshole, and "real time...weapon change!" (lol).
So I guess you can't shoot arrows anymore, huh?

Nope! If you're like me then no more sniping Lu Bu then running away rinse and repeat.
It really boils down to TK having no idea how to optimize in HD.
If you'll notice, their graphics have barely improved since the PS2 beyond plants and FOV. Seriously, go look at Sub HD Warriors Orochi 2 on PSP and compare it Dynasty Warriors 8 on PS3. The PS3 one looks a little better.
Another good example is DW 6 PS2 vs PS3. They look the same almost.
Better than 6 and 7. Not as good as the WO series.

Is there no way to contact someone about patch info? I'm pretty confused as to why they even released both versions without the most recent patches and it makes me wonder if we'll even get them.
Also, anyone know if saves are region free? I'm guessing not.

Don't remember the names of them, but there are three options in the blacksmith. (you might need to raise the blacksmith's level in Ambition mode up first)
The first one is useless and no one cares about it.
The second one is like WO3's where you choose one weapon as its base and another to add its skill on it expect what skills get added is random and you can't delete skills off the base. It uses weapon materials.
The third and superior one is the same idea expect you can choose what you add from the second weapon onto its base and it uses the gems you find in free and ambition mode. I don't know if you can delete skills off the base weapon but I imagine you can.
I think just keep whatever level 1 and 2 weapons that have skills you want to keep as fusion fodder.

you can sell crappy weapons.
then you have reforge by taking 3 weapons of varying skills and levels and get 2 random weapons of varying skills/level.
the more lucrative option is TEMPERING. you have a weapon and you can add a 2nd weapons attritubes to that one.
Not you cant delete unwanted skills. Thats why the hard part of tempering a weapon isnt just finding a weapon with the attributes you want, but without any you do. Some people spend hours refreshing the merchant in story mode trying to find a lvl 3 or 4 weapon with BLANK attributes so they can pick and choose the attributes to put on it.
Now, the 2nd weapon's attributes get added onto the 1st weapons up to a maximun of 6. the 1st weapon does not lose any previous attributes, and the remaining slots are filled with any unique attributes the 2nd weapon has. IF the 2nd weapon has more attributes than the 1st weapon has free slots, then the unique attributes of the 2nd weapon are added onto the 1st randomly.

30. Dont level up the merchant.
for now, use the merchants ability to turn 1 weapon orbs into 2 facility orbs.
dont waste any on the teahouse yet. sending out soldiers to take over areas is a good idea since they bring back animals/weapon/facility materials. upgrading your farm will also bring in money that you can use to pay for the soldiers.
assign a character to the farm since they give items randomly. the horse stable is also a good one. feed animals vegetables only since its the cheapest. dont max out the merchant!

Speaking of DLC weapons, gameplay of the (Japan only for now) Stone Pillar weapon DLC.
It looks awesome and a lot better than the gloves for Meng Huo.
I hope Koei hurries up and starts releasing DLC already.

that weapon felt like the most OP thing in DW6 empires for me so i'll probably buy it and equip it to the nanman king himself :O

Had my first crash in story mode... the patch can't come soon enough! Assuming it addresses that of course, but I'll be fine with just the DOF fix.

Obscure, but does anybody in Australia know when the complete edition will be on the PS4 store? I'm ready to get on board but I'm preferring digital so far.

It's that bad. I bought the vita version first and I no longer have any desire to play it. Framerate even horrible during cutscenes. And as others said, the sound as problems, I play with my vita linked to a mini Bose system and it's like the while sound for the game is muffled...
Waiting for the jp voice pack to play on ps4.

Looks like we may never get audio on ps4 direct streams for Koei's Musou games, because of VA rights issues.

Well, at least that's cleared up but... what in all the fucks!? Somehow all the other video publishers manage to figure the rights issue out, but Tecmo Koei can't?

Well hopefully that HDCP firmware update comes out soon so I can do it through the capture alright.
That is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. What's stopping them from simply stripping the voices while keeping the rest of the audio intact?
XxSlasherMcGirkxX

That doesn't sound like a legit reason with all other PS4 games not having that problem. Is it because this is a port and didn't bother getting permission for the old VA's?

Its not that simple when different companies deal with different VA / agreements etc. Licensing isnt exactly cheap and perhaps it did not fit into the budget to get a deal worked out allowing for such a thing. As stupid as it may sound. But thats just how it is with game development. Some things may not make sense but usually wind up having to do with money issues or legal stuff.

When you choose the factions in story mode there's a "tutorial faction".
Not really needed to be honest.
