Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires is like The Sims 3 + FFXI + TES + Dynasty Warriors?

Oh mew! This is sooo interesting, mew! This is kind like an immersive version of Dynasty Warriors! Oh ya mew maybe mmorpgs can learn from this! It looks like you can own your own home, choose different lifestyles (free officer, mercenary, ruler). And there are many different ways to unite The Three Kingdoms (so it's like a choose your adventure kind of thing, but with more choices and ways to play! )

DYNASTY WARRIORS 7 Empires | TECMO KOEI America

Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires - The Koei Wiki - Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, Warriors Orochi, and more

I haven't tried the Empires series before, but ya it looks like this is more like how Dynasty Warriors should be with more freedom, customization and stuff.
Oh yea and the Character Creation is in some ways more customizable than PSO2 (better hairstyles too, though PSO2 wins in proportion customization and costume selection.)

And unlike The Elder Scrolls, people can actually become ruler in Empires, mew! (Oh ya that was strange that Skyrim didn't allow becoming a Jarl of a city.)
But ya Empires gives like the whole throne and decision making and stuff! And like expanding the land and decisions that can affect the people and the opposing kingdoms and stuff. Very complex but looks more rewarding and immersive!

Oh ya and the mercenary part, I think choosing that lifestyle, you can have your own banner or something. You can help any kingdom, but not sure if they can grow and take over everything.

The most interesting part is the free officer systems, where people seem like they can earn their status doing missions and stuff (I think that would be a cooler way to gradually progress up the ladder to eventually becoming ruler, instead of simply starting as one. ) and get a greater sense of accomplishment working up the ranks.

I wonder if we can rename the kingdom? I would call it Mew Mew Land! =^^=

I haven't tried the Empires series before, but that's never stopped me before from posting links about games I've never played and adding my coocoo thoughts with smilies and mews spattered throughout the post.

Well it's a link about something that is UPCOMING for this region, mew. And I would buy/play it right now if it was already on PSN store.

I did buy and play DW7 and Xtreme Legends.

What's fascinating about the game isn't that it's coming out (duh, it's Dynasty Warriors, of course they're going to milk it...).

It's interesting that it's PSN-exclusive in North America and PS3-exclusive in physical copy everywhere else. Meaning that Tecmo-Koei has no confidence that the North American market will even buy it, and particularly not the Xbox 360 market. I was under the impression that the 360 version of DW7 did reasonably well in North America, but maybe not?

DW tends to bomb in North America but sells extremely well in Europe, particularly the UK. Old school Double Dragon or Streets of Rage style Beat em Ups like Dynasty Warriors are very popular here and the DW series has always emulated the gameplay in 3D very well.

As soon as you put on your "Game Sales Charts Filter" and filter out the things that always sell well:

• Cash Cow franchises
• AAA titles
• Whatever the big Publishers are putting their marketing weight behind this month
• The odd regional runaway success
• Whatever is popular with the kids right now and being bought en mass by parents
• The newest FIFA and Football Manager games

You will find that games like DW sell well enough to be profitable here. Plus Dynasty Warriors always sells badly on the 360 which explains why Koei aren't even bothering to port it.

This was the TGS trailer but I think this trailer shows more gameplay than the english trailer and the japanese launch trailer, mew.

Also I read somewhere that possibly Strategists or Marshals can summon Elite Troops that follow you, mew (the return of bodyguards?), they behave differently from Cavalry and other soldier types (that automatically charge towards enemy bases and stuff) .

I never liked Bodyguards in the older DW games, the AI was always hard coded to gun for the player first and ignore the bodyguards

Oh but on the bright side, maybe they will be slightly more aggressive, so their attacks could factor in providing support to stun/distract enemies so you can safely beat them up. It could depend how you position yourself, in relation to the bodyguards positions and then block to keep enemy occupied, then when bodyguards act, that could cause some hit stun or juggle to start happening, then you let them have it with counterattack, mew.

Bodyguards were always a waste of time in past DW games. They were like paper tigers - two or three hits from enemies and they'd fold, even after you spent a ton of time grooming the "best" ones. If you played on any of the harder difficulties, it was a miracle if your bodyguards survived a mission.

they are nice company, though, mew.

Yeah, for the 45 seconds or so that they're still alive before you get to the line of battle. Anyone who has played any of the Empires spinoffs of Dynasty Warriors knows this to be true.

but it's a DW battlefield, mew, things like that are likely to happen.

Oh here is a Chaos difficulty video, mew! Very skillful and strategic!
