Apologies to Pang De fans.

13 slots total. We have 10 characters revealed so that's 3 remaining slots. Who hasn't been revealed yet? Xu Huang, Xu Zhu, Cao Pi and Pang De.

It is looking extremely likely that Pang De has indeed been cut. There was a rumor list somebody had leaked that listed names of new characters we'd be getting and that Pang De and Zuo Ci would not be returning. So far, the leak has been correct about all of the new characters (even Lian Shi) so it looks like it's pretty accurate. I'd say there's a high chance that we are not getting Pang De back this time around.

Commence crying. ):

I hear you. I had been all set to import this for the treasure box schwag. Then along came the ruined setting immersion and the prioritizing of love interest adds over characters with more potential for a nuanced and varied narrative. The voice samples are hit or miss by Dynasty Warriors standards, laughable compared to the better current-gen games I've been playing.

I am still interested in the weapon switching, and I want to see what they wind up doing with the story. Even so, my primary remaining interest in this game is various friends' desire to see me snark it with a Let's Play, and I would be renting, borrowing, or buying used. This series had potential to add depth and weight while continuing to entertain. I'm tired of seeing said potential squandered, and all I can do is vote with my wallet.

If they released it this week while I'm actually going to be out your way I would totally force my way into your RL and make you be a fangirl with me for a weekend of DW gameplay. Because that is going to be the only way this game is going to be good. XD

That would be awesome. A good friend of mine, who is also a fellow musou fangirl, plans to visit sometime this summer. One of my main motivations to get DW7 at all is for the lulz with her and other old school DW-loving friends who share my disgruntlement over the ruination. She and I had a lot of fun with DW6: Empires. My spousal unit would hide downstairs in his man cave and play MMO's through all our squeeing.

I have to say, I don't even want to buy this just to bitch about it. If I had money to burn, perhaps, but... no. I want this game even less than I want Dragon Age 2 - and that is rapidly becoming one of the most "WTF" games of this year.

I had enough fun with Strikeforce - which was all gameplay, minimal story and characterization - that I suspect I would enjoy the weapon switching just for the variety of pwnination and the amusement of awkward weapon choices. I've also been writing enough about Dynasty Warriors series appeal, my hopes for a reboot, and my thoughts on DW7 so far that I feel like I should cap it off with a comprehensive review and/or rant. There's also the joy of snarking it with my friends.
