To be fair, Dynasty Warriors would be much less interesting if you just skirmished with some generic soldiers for awhile while enemy officers that you never meet just die randomly in between battles.
Easily one of the best ost's I've heard. That guitar is absolutely breathtaking. Such a melodic and epic masterpiece. I'm going to rewatch this over and over until it reaches a million views.
I also love how they combine war drums with these songs so well that you'd feel like you were there right in the battle. Back in the ancient time, when soldiers fight, they do have a team playing music like this to invigorate them and to raise their morale, and I'd think if these songs were played back at the time, the soldiers would've become fearless!
Gotta love how the first song in the game (intro music or Crush em All) is also somewhat the *last* music you hear in the game if you've been playing from Wei to Jin.
soundtea Part of me wonders if they did the same thin in 8 with that game's opening theme and Restart. I listened to both, and there's SOME similarities, but not to the extent as this track.
"Is it possible you have overcome your laziness, my lord? Even if just for a moment, I am quite proud of you." Wang Yuanji's unit is in high spirits Zhong Hui- You are quite the tactician. Your performance out there was simply an effort to get me fired up out there, no?
Listening to this song in the final mission was so cathartic--especially after playing through every other kingdom, and hearing Crush 'em All as the first battle track in Wei. Fuckin' 2:11 man.
Dynasty Warriors is such an inspiration. At the age of 12 this wonderful series got me so enthralled in its magic that I read RoTK and went on to become a history enthusiast learning about all sorts of historic periods! I feel bad for the people that don't get to learn and experience the magic that the Three Kingdoms and Dynasty Warriors has to offer, long live DW!
damn, Jin rules all Sima Yi with his awesome laugh and musou attack Sima Shi also with his awesome laugh when he defeats officer Deng Ai with his strong body and fearless heart Sima Zhao is just cool person Guo Huai by fighting the death itself Jin are the best!
This song is amazing, really made it feel like the deciding battle! Honestly unless they plan on remaking this game with better lip syncs during the cinematics and better graphics, I'm pretty content with this being the last Dynasty Warriors. They nailed everything on the head this time around!
I gotta admit, jin is the best and strongest dynasty throughout dynasty warriors. This theme music shows the end of the three kingdoms and bringing peace and prisperity throughout ancient china. None of the kingdoms could stop jin. The sima family are so smart and cunning that even zhuge liang, cao shuang, cao mao, jiang wei, and wu fell to a sunder. If u dare challenge jin, you will be annihilated and obliterated.
Yeah but you gotta admit, Jin is pretty much made up of the last remnants of Wei. Not to make them sound weak but the only real advantage Jin had over Shu and Wu was Sima Yi and his clansmen's influence plus most of the renowned generals who lived before and the beginning of the three kingdons have already died off from old age, sickness, battle, or even from too much stress. The Sima clan basically took what was left of Wei and made it theres. Whereas Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce hand to start from the gound up with NOTHING but a few troops in order to build their kingdoms. Not really impressive if you think about it, just lucky. And oh yeah, if it hadn't rained that day. Zhongda (Sima Yi) would of died by Kongming's (Zhuge Liang) hands. Still, "A dead Zhuge scares away a living Zhongda."
In real history Liu Bei was possibly the second greatest military mind and leader in the whole country after Cao Cao. Lots of the early stuff that Zhuge Liang gets credited for in the novel was all Liu Bei in actual history. He wasn't the virtuous man he's made out to be in the novel but he's not evil either. There are very few people in real life that were anything like their novel counterpart, especially on the Shu side of things.
what a way to end the era of the Three Kingdoms; when I first heard this theme I began to cry, not because it was the last battle but because of this soundtrack
Zeyferd CheddarCheese The true wei is Cao and Cao Pi and they would approve of Jin, way before the spoiled retards of Cao Cao's brat children, remember Cao Cao cared more about Ambition than any person.
The Sima Clan..fucking unbelievable. Uniting a country under ONE man's ambition but carried out by his sons. It's quite remarkable. I'm not gonna lie though, back in the three kingdoms era I was rooting for Shu but by Jin Shu was just relentlessness in their campaigns led by Jiang Wei and each proved more pathetic then the next. By the 4th invasion I was like "Dude really? I'm sorry man but you're just not going to succeed. ." It was a disappointment but as for the sima clan....utterly brilliant
By listening to the epic soundtrack, remembering how Jiang Wei practically led shu to ruin and by remembering all the times shu took advantage of wu. They deserved what happened at Fan Castle and they most definitely deserved this.
the Jin story line is actually very similar to the Wei story line really as it mostly focuses on how the kingdom came in to being. the Wei story looks at how Cao Cao gained power while technically serving the last Han emperor before his son took over, in the same way Jin looks at how the Sima family effectively took power before forming Jin.
I never used to understand the hype around this track. But having listened numerous times, I'd say it's right up there as the best OST across the series. I absolutely love 2:57, really gets across the feeling that it's Shu's last stand.
Poor Deng Ai, betrayed by an azzhat and killed. My 3rd favorite in all of Jin next to Wen Yang 1st and Jia Chong 2nd. Now albeit though I could never put anyone over my favorite kingdom being Wu, gotta love the Sun family for sure but at almost 9 games I wonder if they'll complete the family and give Sun Jian his wife as for a kingdom that revolves around family it sure isn't complete. I mean heck even Sima Yi creater of Jin kingdom got his wife in DW8 which was the 2nd game that Jin was in.
That's just crap made up by the Romance. Wen Yang was a non-remarkable nobody in real life, who ended up being slaughtered with his clan just before the War of the Eight Princes.
Just listening to this just took me back when I became a DW fan. Even now, just thinking about it over the years since the first official DW, Koei has made a long journey to make it this far. 100s of scenarios that were non-fiction or just maybe even a twist, new characters that came along the way, and THIS IS IT! DW7 scored it to the real ending of the 3 kingdoms with Jin dynasty. Dynasty Warriors is my life. Period.
I loved Sima Yi from the first DW game I played (3). Now, he finally gets the recognition he deserves. How befitting of a theme for HIS kingdom! The kingdom to end all others.
man i got my first dynasty warriors game when i was... i think 6? it was the third. i was in love with it ever since....i got into the history and biographies of these characters when i was 11.....man ive learned so much. if it werent for my dad buying me this game for me as a bday present, i wudnt know anything about this. im very glad for this game
This will be the eighth time I've listened to this. I heard about this in WO3 since I never bothered with DW7. God bless the Dynasty Warriors soundtrack.
I can't believe Sima Shi and Sima Yi didn't make it...they were my favorite characters in all of Jin, Sima Yi when he died I was like: ....Okay...I can deal with it... Sima Shi when he got slashed in the eye I was like: NOOOO DON'T YOU DARE DIE! *2 battles later* Sima Shi: The rest..is up to you..Sima Zhao.. *Throws my Xbox out the window*
Epic Song! :) I wish they would have also included the final battles for the conquest of Wu territories in Dynasty Warriors 7, that would have been awesome :D
D: the song is too awesome for my half-broken speakers. Song is interrupted with something that sounds like someone blowing into a microphone at certain points
I've played this series since DW3 XL (my first dynasty warriors game ever since the original 3 wasn't in stock wayyyyy back when) and I gotta say, I am fascinated with history and i play games for the story and I gotta say, even though DW's gameplay is repetitive (yet i can't stop?) the story is what puts me in awe. Even if exaggerated it's very entertaining. DW7 told the story in the best way yet and Jin was EXHILARATING, This final battle ^^^, when the song kicked on i got an adrenaline rush!
THIS!!! is the best song from DW i have ever listened to for a final battle!! BEST EVER!! and for shu to go down...... They Fought Till The End.... LIKE TRUE HEROES OF THE HAN!!!!! long live liu bei to all members of shu and his vision....
+White Raven However Jin too didn't survive long.Jin Dynasty was established by Sima Yan,.son of Sima Zhao in the year 266 and end in year 316 (Three Kingdom period 220~280 AD,Wei 220~265,Shu 221~263,Wu 229~280)
+Pain Lee We all know about that. :3 Let Jin have its moment of glory. (Especially in the Hypothetical Route offered in DW8) *Edit:* Though actually, the Jin Dynasty wasn't _that_ short. It lasted until 420, not 316.
@Sima Yi It's truly a shame that Sima Yi's descendants didn't really learn from his example. One would think the Jin Dynasty might have lasted even longer, certainly, if the War of the Eight Princes never happened in the middle of it all.
@nepomusik to be honest though that ending also gives far more credit to Sima Yi and Sima Shi than was needed and seemed to openly suggest that Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan where flawed leader because their respective kingdoms got over thrown... well not so much Cao Cao since it was his intelligence that created Wei/Jin
....You know they've been increasing the crazy and the power levels for DW games? It's because they keep being given music like THIS and want them to match it.
@TheDTD500 My cousin recommended me Dynasty Warriors 3 to me years ago too! But at the time they only had Extreme legends in stock so I took that so I didn't start following the ACTUAL history until Dynasty Warriors 4 came in and from there I was seriously hooked.
I just want everyone to know that I loved the story and history of this so much that I went ahead and bought the Three Kingdoms foreign tv series (2010) off Amazon and even though I'm not a fan of foreign films, yet I don't mind reading English subtitles even if it's decently translated, I gotta say it's AMAZING. I might even go so far as to purchase the BOOK and I am not a fan of reading at all. DW is amazing for its story telling. Anyone who disagrees, just doesn't appreciate history. Simple.
I think the reason why XL didn't come out on 360 was two small reasons, and this is just my hypothesis. The PS3 system featured a stop-n-swap disc where you switch from DW7XL to the DW7 so that your saved file from DW7 can be transferred to XL along with Coop Story mode, Conquest mode, Weapons and DLC weapons, and your characters' stats. I don't know if the 360 ever had that built-in feature. PC maybe, but PS3 is the most sold hardware in Japan. So they go with what sales more.
Dynasty Warriors 7 is the best one for me! it's just incredible. all the dw's are amazing though. best game series EVER! im just glad they brang Jiang Wei back :D and i love the Sima's. they are BEAST! :D
