Guo Jia
Life is such a fragile thing. You never know when or how it's going to leave you. Which is why you have to enjoy every moment in here and now.
Kaguya
A mirror image is simply a reflection of the real thing. Although it may look the same, its insides are completely hollow.
Katsuie Shibata
When you're on the battlefield, there is no need for words. Keep your mouth shut and simply do what must be done. Eventually, the path will reveal itself.
Keiji Maeda
Words can fail us all too often. We depend on them to convey our thoughts, but sometimes they just end up getting in the way. That must be what has you feeling so down. That's why you should just tilt your head to the side and empty it of all the clutter!
Shennong
We hope that you may live out your days in peace and eternal happiness.
Yue Ying
There is no need to blame yourself. Every last one of us was deceived.

What if the new characters were in Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate? (Redux)
I had an idea for a new instalment of Warriors Orochi. It would be a crossover between Dynasty Warriors Multi Raid 2, One Piece: Pirate Warriors, Toukiden and Hyrule Warriors. They’d have to have a Kickstarter or something of the sort if they’d want to do that, ESPECIALLY if people want English dubs on it. Think of the cost!
But I’m not talking about this now and I don’t intend to in the future. For now, I’m going to explain to you how the new characters in DW8 (with XL) and SW4 would have fit in with Warriors Orochi 3. Take it as a break from all the usual ranting I do.
Originally, I was just going to stop it after the first two Warriors Orochi games, but I thought, what the heck! It doesn’t hurt!
Some stages mentioned may not have been in the actual Warriors Orochi 3 game. Please be aware of this.
Dynasty Warriors 8 new characters:
Wei:
Yue Jin 楽進: Unlocked in the Battle of Fan Castle (樊城の戦い), Chapter 3. Present with his lord at Fan Castle (replaces Yu Jin). He also assists his lord’s escape at Chengdu. He then works with Zhang Liao to rescue Li Dian at Bowangpo.
Li Dian 李典: Unlocked in the side stage Battle of Xiakou (夏口の戦い), Chapter 3. When Zhang Liao and Yue Jin (Kaguya is the other recommended character) were there with Li Dian in the original timeline, Masamune’s army of horses and riflemen spotted them and decided to attack them. Li Dian sacrificed his life so that Zhang Liao and Yue Jin could escape. Now they are going back in time to rescue him.
Yu Jin 于禁: Unlocked in the Battle of Tong Gate (潼関の戦い), Chapter 3. He is present with Cao Pi and Sima Yi at Tong Gate.
Xun Yu 荀彧: Unlocked in the side stage Battle of Puyang (濮陽の戦い), Chapter 4. Cao Cao receives a report that Demon Army troops and Mystic Army troops are fighting and so, he sets out with Guo Jia and Jia Xu to pacify the uprising. On one side of the castle, however, the demons and mystics don’t seem to be fighting each other – because they’re fighting Xun Yu, who is efficiently using strategy to confuse the enemy. Cao Cao and company meet up with Xun Yu and they manage to eliminate the enemy before he joins them.
Wu:
Lu Su 魯粛: Unlocked in the Battle of Odawara Castle (小田原城の戦い), Chapter 1. He fights with his Wu comrades and his allies the Hōjō to repel the Demon Army.
Han Dang 韓当: Unlocked in the Battle of Nagashino (長篠の戦い), Chapter 1. He works with Zhou Tai to repel the Date Army, assisted by Sun Wukong and Kiyomori’s servants.
Zhu Ran 朱然: Unlocked in the side stage Battle of Hefei (合肥の戦い), Chapter 4. He joins the coalition along with Lu Xun after the battle and he appears in the true ending.
Shu:
Xu Shu 徐庶: Unlocked after clearing Battle of Yiling Redux (夷陵の戦い・改変後), Chapter 1. In the original timeline, he escaped with Ma Chao to Odawara Castle.
Guan Xing 関興: Unlocked in the Battle of Mt. Dingjun (定軍山の戦い), Chapter 2. He is alongside his father, working for Kiyomori until he is freed of his control. He then fights Zhang Bao at Yangping Gate.
Zhang Bao 張苞: Unlocked in the Battle of Yangping Gate (陽平関の戦い), Chapter 3. He appears alongside his father here.
Guan Yinping 関銀屏: Unlocked in the side stage Battle of Qing Province (青州の戦い), Chapter 2. When the serpent army attacked, her father and her brothers helped her escape because they did not believe that she was strong enough to fight off an invasion of such proportions. She hid away in Changshan practising until an alliance featuring the likes of Yuan Shu and Zhang Xiu made base in the area. Believing this an opportunity to show her strength, she charged solo into the enemy. But what she didn’t know was that the alliance was led by Dong Zhuo and he would probably take her in as one of his harem. Luckily, Xu Shu, Guan Yu and Guan Xing were searching in the area and managed to find her just before Dong Zhuo arrived. Together, they fought off Dong Zhuo and Guan Yinping joined the coalition.
Fa Zheng 法正: Unlocked in the Battle of Yangping Gate, Chapter 3 (陽平関の戦い). He is the strategist in this stage. He also appears to help his lord escape at Chengdu.
Jin:
Jia Chong 賈充: Unlocked in the Battle of Ueda Castle (上田城の戦い), Chapter 1. He stayed with Zhuge Dan and the others when Sima Zhao went off to Odawara. He then joins Sima Zhao and Zhuge Dan at Hasedō.
Wen Yang 文鴦: Unlocked in the Battle of Nagashino (長篠の戦い), Chapter 1. Along with Guo Huai and the others, they were Kiyomori’s puppets until Hideyoshi, Ma Chao and the others beat them back to their senses.
Zhang Chunhua 張春華: Unlocked in the Battle of Hulao Gate (虎牢関の戦い), Chapter 3. She was alongside her husband at Tong Gate, but not at Shizugatake.
Other:
Chen Gong 陳宮 and Lu Lingqi 呂玲綺: Unlocked in the side stage Battle of Xiapi Castle (下邳城の戦い), Chapter 2 (uses the DW8XL map). When Lu Bu left Xiapi with Diaochan, he entrusted Chen Gong and Lu Lingqi to defend the castle. When Nezha passes by with the Mystic Army, he thinks that Lu Bu will probably be waiting inside, so he decides to set various traps inside, including fire, flood, poison and explosive attacks. However, Nezha doesn’t know that Lu Bu isn’t even in the castle, so when he arrives, he chases Nezha in anger. Sent by a message of an attack on Xiapi, Guan Yinping and Lady Hayakawa (with Xu Huang as other recommended character) arrive to defuse the traps inside the castle, which were mostly caused by sorcery. They then chase down Nezha, who is fighting Lu Bu. Lu Bu tells them to get out of his way and turns on Chen Gong and the others. While Lu Bu is distracted with fighting the others, Nezha escapes. Lu Bu is defeated and he escapes too. Feeling abandoned by their lord, Chen Gong and Lu Lingqi join the coalition. Later, Chen Gong helps recruit Kasumi in Yan Province.
Samurai Warriors 4 new characters:
Takatora Tōdō 藤堂高虎: Unlocked in the side stage Battle of Kanegasaki (金ヶ崎の戦い), Chapter 2. Guan Xing and Zhang Bao journey there (Zhang Bao, Xingcai and Bao Sanniang is the recommended team) to find a Demon Army patrol to defeat so that they can show off their skills against each other. During their competition, they come across Takatora who was forced to flee during the intial assault on his home. Together, they defeat the Demon Army and Takatora joins the Coalition.
Naotora Ii 井伊直虎 and Naomasa Ii 井伊直政: Unlocked in the side stage Battle of Okehazama (桶狭間の戦い), Chapter 3. When the coalition from the future attacked Yangping Gate, Naotora took her foster son Naomasa and hid. Later, Ieyasu Tokugawa, accompanied by Tadakatsu Honda and Liu Bei, head to Okehazama to find Naotora and convince her to join the coalition. However, Naotora is scared that Ieyasu and company are working for the Demon Army, so she decides to fight them. In the end, Ieyasu manages to convince the mother and son that they are not the Demon Army.
Munenori Yagyū 柳生宗矩: Unlocked in the Battle of Odawara Castle Redux (小田原城の戦い・改変後), Chapter 1. In the original battle, he did not make it to help his friend Musashi Miyamoto because he and Shigekata Tōgō were surrounded by the Demon Army. Yoshihiro, Kai and Sun Shangxiang save them at Dongkou, which allows them to make it to Odawara Castle and save Musashi. After the battle, he joins the coalition along with Musashi.
Nobuyuki Sanada 真田信之: Unlocked in the side stage Rescue at Yiling (夷陵救出戦), Chapter 3. He is one of those held captive by the Demon Army and he is the first one Guo Jia, Guo Huai and Xingcai meet (he is in the Stone Sentinel Maze).
Yoshitsugu Ōtani 大谷吉継: Unlocked in the Battle of Tong Gate (潼関の戦い), Chapter 3. He follows Mitsunari in joining the coalition later.
Hisahide Matsunaga 松永久秀: Unlocked in the side stage Battle of Mt. Inaba Castle (稲葉山城の戦い), Chapter 4. In defiance of his fate, he hid away with some rogue officers (ie. the Miyoshi, Satake and others) and made a base at Kuzegawa. A treasure report leads Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu (with Magoichi Saika as other recommended character) to search there, but ends up finding tea leaves and kettles. After a conflict, Dong Zhuo takes Matsunaga back to the coalition.
Kojūrō Katakura 片倉小十郎: Unlocked in the Battle of Luoyang (洛陽の戦い), Chapter 2. He was with Masamune at Nagashino.
Kagekatsu Uesugi 上杉景勝: Unlocked in the Battle of Shizugatake (賤ヶ岳の戦い), Chapter 3. He joins the coalition together with Aya.
Takakage Kobayakawa 小早川隆景: Unlocked in the Battle of Sekigahara (関ヶ原の戦い), Chapter 2. He follows his father Motonari in working for Da Ji at Kyūshū and Nanzhong. However, when the coalition ends up saving Da Ji when she is chased by Nezha, Motonari, Achilles and Takakage join the coalition as well.
Koshōshō 小少将: Unlocked in the Battle of Xuchang Redux (許昌の戦い・改変後), Chapter 2. Instead of being a hostage, she works under Dong Zhuo. When the Demon Army soldiers spot Jiang Wei, Koshōshō finishes him off in the original timeline and retreats. However, after the timeline has been changed, she does not notice Jiang Wei that easily and she joins the coalition after her defeat.
Toyohisa Shimazu 島津豊久: Unlocked in the Battle of Odawara Castle (小田原城の戦い), Chapter 1. He follows his uncle Yoshihiro in working for the Demon Army. With the coalition, he works with Jia Xu and Ginchiyo in chasing Da Ji at Kyūshū.
Lady Hayakawa 早川殿: Unlocked in the Battle of Changban (長坂の戦い), Chapter 3. She appears as reinforcements alongside Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Daqiao and Ujiyasu Hōjō.

I'd say...the guy who kidnapped her and her brother, corrupted her sister's surrogate father, and is trying to take over the world with clones of her.
One of which is among the CHEAPEST bosses in fighting game history.

Annon-Guy: Small break from Guilty Gear, but do you have a favorite Warriors Game(s)? This can even include licensed games like Hyrule, Fire Emblem, Attack on Titan and Berserk in addition to Dynasty, Samurai, Orochi and All-Stars.
The last two Musou games I played extensively were Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 and Berserk (Band of the Hawk).
That said, I actually spent more time playing the former than the latter, simply because I enjoyed making custom blueprint builds for specific units (DeathScythe Hell and Full Armor Unicorn Gundam, among others).
But well... that was long before I got deeply immersed in my obsession with the Gundam Breaker Series (to say nothing of M.A.S.S. Builder).
Of course, I have yet to get my hands on Armored Core 6, as well.
Let's just say I love games that let you craft the ultimate mech.

*points* You. You get it.
I still remember where we got my copy of Conquest, too!! My local target, as an end of the (school) year gift from my parents!!
My sister and I got Nintendo Power magazines back in the day, and let me tell you ... those things got us HYPED for Conquest. I still have every copy that ever mentioned the game--it's history, now. /hj
Anyway, my sister and I were super excited for the game and were out shopping with them, and we happened to see it at the check out aisle--a whole stinking display. We ended up each getting a copy.
My sister actually lost hers at one point in our old tent trailer, but it turned up again right before my parents sold the trailer--
I ended up getting super obsessed with it again once I stumbled upon Orochi Warriors 3 Ultimate and rediscovering the characters through their original source--legit got that game because of Hanbei (my beloved sleepy boy ... my ORIGINAL sleepy boy).
Then it spiraled into me discovering Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Greenleaf is my favorite kingdom (battle theme is soothing but also nostalgic as heck to me), followed by Chrysalia, Fontaine, and Avia.
Also my favorite Warlords were Motonari, Masamune, and Hanbei--
Sorry, this is just ... one of those special games to me. Wrote fanfic for it that will never see the light of day (it was a high school AU since I was in high school at the time, and I assigned all the DW9 characters their own Perfect Links ... even made lore for an entirely separate region that they lived in).
You think I'm bad about Project Moon? When I was a teen it was Conquest. /lh
~ librarian-lover 📖
YOU GET MEEEEE!!!
There was just a certain magic to Conquest! Especially waiting the months leading up to it. I remember every time I had a chance to be on the computer I was scavenging for any information I could get about it before release.
I'm so glad someone else got to have the Being Excited With Your Sibling experience about it because it's just so... specific is all I can think of to describe it. My older sister and I legit would not stop talking about it the days leading up to getting it and then while we played the game. I remember getting stuck on Ignis of all places and getting way too excited when I finally kicked Hideyoshi's ass.
Agreed Greenleaf and Fontaine are absolutely beautiful, but my other favorites have to be Spectra and Nixtorm! And for characters... Masamune, Oichi, and Motochika hands down.
Honestly whenever I hear about people getting into the Warriors games via Conquest, it just makes me so giddy!!! The Warriors games (specifically Dynasty Warriors) has had such a special place in my heart since I was a kid. You with Conquest as a teen was me with Warriors games from like age 6 to age 16 kfhqkdhwkwjs. If I wasn't playing pokemon or Etrian Odyssey it was usually a Warriors game.
And listen!!! There's nothing to apologize for!!! I LOVE hearing about everyone's interests current, new, and old!!! And also just... Love hearing the opinions of other Conquest fans as well!!!
And that fic concept sounds amazing and I'm honestly holding out on a small shred of hope the Koei and Gamefreak will team up again for a Dynasty Warriors version of the game.

Ryu Number: The Sengoku Period/Romance of the Three Kingdoms characters of Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate, Chapter 2, Part 3
The Young Dragon Obeys the Goddess
Kunoichi
Sanada Yukimura
Takeda Shingen
Fūma Kotarō
Uesugi Kenshin
Sanada Nobuyuki
-
Bao Sanniang (鮑 三娘, Hou Sanjou): Fictional wife of the fictional Guan Suo. In folklore, she’s a warrior who Guan Suo hears tell of and challenges to a spar; when he defeats her, she proposes. After her husband dies in battle, she guards Jiameng Pass until her death. Or maybe dies defending it. Or dies of illness there. That’s folklore, my dudes.
Chen Dao (陳 到, Chin Tou): Served Shu. Little is known about him, but he was the leader of one of Liu Bei’s elite units. Active from the 190s to the 230s.
-
Guan Ping
-
Guan Suo (關 索, 関 索, Kan Saku): In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a fictional son of Guan Yu who served Shu. He is often folklorically described as being handsome and having many wives.
Guan Xing (關 興, 関 興, Kan Kou): Son of Guan Yu and younger brother of Guan Ping. When he became an adult, he became an official in Shu, but died some years later. Romance of the Three Kingdoms gives him a larger role and has him in more of a warrior role; he kills Pan Zhang (the Wu general who captured Guan Yu) and kills two former Liu Han whose defections to Sun Quan led to the event.
Guan Yi (關 彝, 関 彝, Kan I): Grandson of Guan Yu and son of Guan Xing. Some sources say he died after Shu’s 263 fall; in Romance of the Three Kingdoms he’s killed by Wei soldiers during Zhong Hui’s attempted rebellion in 264.
-
Guan Yinping
Liu Bei
-
Liu Ning (劉 寧, Ryuu Nei): Shu General. In the 221-222 Battle of Xiaoting, Liu Bei’s attempt to take back Jing Province from Wu, Liu Ning was defeated and forced to surrender.
Wu Lan (吳 蘭, 呉 蘭, Go Ran): Served Shu. Killed during the Hanzhong Campaign in 217, either in battle by Cao Hong and Cao Xiu’s forces, or after fleeing by the Di leader Qiangduan (the Di were an ethnic group of western China).
Xingcai (星彩, Seisai):Empress Zhang (張 皇后, Chou Kougou) was the daughter of Zhang Fei, who became an Imperial Consort of Shu emperor Liu Shan. She became empress in 238, after the previous empress, her elder sister, died. After Shu was conquered in 264, she joined Liu Shan in Luoyang. Koei gives her the fictional identity of Xingcai.
Zhang Bao (張 苞, Chou Hou): Son of Zhang Fei who died early. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he fights Guan Xing because he wants to lead forces into the 221-222 Battle of Xiaoting and Liu Bei has to break them up. In Zhuge Liang’s Third Northern Expedition (in 229), he dies of injuries from falling into a gully.
Zhao Yun (趙 雲, Chou Un): Served Shu. Originally served warlord Gongsun Zan, and there met Liu Bei, who was sheltering under Zan at the time. Continued his service under Liu Bei’s son Liu Shan and participated in the first of Zhuge Liang’s failed northern expeditions in 228. Died 229. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms he is one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu. A popular folktale says that he was never scarred in battle, but died of fatal hemorrhage when his wife playfully pricked him with a pin.
Showdown with the Demon King
Sanada Yukimura
Ii Naotora
Sanada Nobuyuki
Akechi Mitsuhide
Gracia
-
Ishida Mitsunari (石田 三成): Born 1560. Served under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s death in 1598 he was in a very politically unstable position, not helped by Tokugawa Ieyasu’s willingness to ascend to power himself despite being nominally one of the regents of Hideyoshi’s heir. Mitsunari formed a coalition to stand against Tokugawa Ieyasu, culminating in the 1600 Battle of Sekigahara, with Mitsunari’s Western Army against Tokugawa’s Eastern Army, but Mitsunari’s unpopularity with potential allies saw his loss. He attempted to escape but was captured and killed.
-
Kuki Yoshitaka
Yamauchi Kazutoyo
-
Mori Nagayoshi (森長 可): Born 1558. Older brother of Mori Ranmaru. Served Oda Nobunaga, then Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Shot and killed at the 1584 Battle of Komaki and Nagakute.
-
Mori Ranmaru
Niwa Nagahide
Oda Nobunaga
Saitō Toshimitsu
Shibata Katsuie
-
Takigawa Kazumasu (滝川 一益; possibly Takigawa Ichimasu): Born 1525. Served Oda Nobunaga. After Nobunaga’s death, he opposed Toyotomi Hideyoshi alongside Shiba Katsuie, siding with Oda Nobutaka, but was defeated and submitted to Hideyoshi in 1583. After performing suboptimally at the 1584 Battle of Komaki and Nagakute, he retired and became a monk, and died 1586.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 秀吉; also “Toyotomi no Hideyoshi”, i.e. Hideyoshi of the Toyotomis): Born 1537. Rose from a peasant background to become one of Nobunaga’s most prominent retainers. Famously built a castle on the edge of enemy territory in a very short amount of time in order to gain an advantage in the 1567 Siege of Inabayama Castle against the Saitō clan. After Nobunaga’s death in 1582, Toyotomi was in a strong position politically. He came into conflict with Shibata Katsuie and Oda Nobutaka when it came time to determine Nobunaga’s heir (being allied with Oda Nobukatsu instead), but prevailed. He completed the unification of Japan under a single rule that had been started by Oda Nobunaga. Later, he attempted a Japanese conquest of China through Korea, but this turned out to be a failure that lost him political strength. When he died in 1598 the invasions were called off. He declared his son Toyotomi Hideyori as his heir and entrusted his care to a Council of Five Elders, but that Didn’t Work Out and Tokugawa Ieyasu (one of the elders) ended up rising to power instead.
-
Guan Yinping
Liu Bei
-
Cao Pi (曹 丕, Sou Hi): Second son of Cao Cao and first emperor of the state of Wei. He succeeded his father when Cao Cao died in 220. In the same year, he deposed Emperor Xian, finally making the Cao explicitly emperors. Though Sun Quan was nominally one of his vassals, he broke ties with Wei, declaring independence in 222. Died 226.
Cao Zhen (曹 珍, Sou Chin): Wei general who worked with Zhuge Dan (back when Dan was still not-rebelling). In 255, he was killed in Gaoting in a clash with Wu forces who were receiving the defecting Wen Qin.
-
Guo Huai
-
Lady Zhen (甄夫人, Shin-Fujin; referred to in Warriors Orochi 4 as Zhenji/甄 姬/甄 姫/Shin-Ki, which means approximately the same, unless you count that second 姬/姫 character as a forename instead of an affix, which I cheerfully refuse to do because that means I can’t connect this Lady Zhen with other generic non-specific Lady Zhens): Born 183. Well-read and socially adept from a young age. Married Yuan Xi, son of warlord Yuan Shao, though Zhen lived apart from him in the administrative center of Shao’s territory. In 204, after Yuan Shao’s death, Cao Cao’s forces were able to take control of this territory, and Cao Pi met Zhen and married her. She kept the peace among the other wives and encouraged Pi to take more concubines. However, after Cao Cao died in 220 and Cao Pi became emperor, his favor toward other concubines led Zhen to complain; for this or some other unknown offense, Pi responded by forcing her to take her own life in 221. Her son Cao Rui would become the next emperor of Wei.
Wen Hu (文 虎, Bun Ko): Son of Wen Qin and brother of Wen Yang. After Sima Shi deposed Wei emperor Cao Fang and replaced him with Cao Mao in 254, Wen Qin started a rebellion, but this was quickly suppressed and he and his family were forced to defect to Wu. When Wei general Zhuge Dan rebelled against Sima Zhao in 257, the Wen family was among those sent to support him. However, the relationship between Wen Qin and Zhuge Dan deteriorated, and when Zhuge Dan had Wen Qin executed, Wen Hu and Wen Yang fled back and surrendered to Sima Zhao.
Wen Yang (文 鴦, Bun Ou): Born 238. Son of Wen Qin and brother of Wen Hu. After Zhuge Dan’s rebellion was defeated, Wen Yang went back to serving Wei, and after its formation, Jin. However, in 291, he was falsely accused of being involved in a failed rebellion by Sima Yao, Zhuge Dan’s grandson (not the emperor Sima Yao—different hanzi), and was executed along with his family
Yang Xin (楊 欣, You Kin): Served Wei. Assisted Deng Ai in the 263 conquest of Shu. Continued serving Jin. Died in 276 fighting against the nomadic Xianbei people.

Zhuge Dan
