I'm making it a point to tell anyone that enjoyed the TV series Shogun to give this a look too - this isn't Japanese history-ish but Chinese history-ish and if they do this right I'm very hopeful that it will be a fun and exciting way to experience the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story.

I'm legitimately more excited for this trailer than I am the new Monster Hunter (which looks too grimdark for me). Dynasty Warriors 9 was one of the biggest "almosts" that I've probably seen from the series - massive map, sprawling timeline, impressive army sizes.... It was half-baked to hell and it needed another 2 years in the oven. Origins is what we're finally getting that lives up to such grand scope, I just hope it's executed well.

Go give the movie Red Cliff a look on YouTube, it's an awesome movie and is the slam-dunk action/storytelling combo that DW Origins needs to be for this series to make a comeback.

Hoping this is a return to form after all the issues with the last one.

If it doesn’t include the what if scenarios as DLC instead of that being saved for the eventual expanded rerelease that’ll take the some points off this.

Also if they don’t make sure the game doesn’t get choppy during a triggered effect like Fire Attacks from 7.

This morning's Tokyo Game Show presentation was great - they're emphasising a return to DW4 & 5-style grand strategy maps, and all of the in-battle tactics that DW9 was missing that made the game feel incredibly bare-bones seems to have been addressed. The story is literally running up to the Red Cliff film as well so it's gonna be a blast to be able to play Origins and then go enjoy the movie once again. Absolutely perfect for anyone that is new to make this their first Dynasty Warriors game~
