Still forgot one, and it is exclusive to DW2. Wei's theme will have an English voice actor say ''Their stories, their legends are about too begin'' instead of Japanese.
Holy shit the drums in Cry for Wind. Been ages since i've played 4 though, but they're so meaty and at the forefront. Very nice. That said Thousand Suns all the way, either version.
Zhou Yu: "Zhuge Liang will call forth the wind. We must endure until then." Zhuge Liang: "The wind will blow." "Please protect the altar until the wind blows."
@Sima Yi Actually more like Battle Arena Toshinden or Soul Blade/Edge "rip off". Although, barring Lu Bu or any other DW character making an appearance as a guest characters in either SC6 or Samurai Shodown we'll probably never see those characters again in that genre again. Not unless they try to make another weapon based fighter again to compete against Soul Calibur or Samurai Showdown, which seems less likely than a revival of Battle Arena Toshinden at this time...
Using Thousand suns for Wu and hypothetical story is a great idea it's fits each other when Huang Gai reach his boat and burns Cao Cao Army's ship then this music plays marks the beginning of victory for Sun Quan army with successful strategy and indirectly raises the player's morale For DW8 in Wei's Hypothetical story in Chi Bi this music starts from beginning of battle because their new strategist Xu Shu can predict what Sun Army tactics so they prepared well and can gain victory without burns their ship
Dw3 Wei: 3/5 Rocky, but cool. Like the bass in the song. Dw3 allies: 4/5 Stop dancing, I want to play the game already. Dw4: 4/5 Love the guitar in this one. Dw5: 3/5 I am gotta beat all yall asses with style. Dw5 escape: 4/5 Get your ass over here Cow Cow! Dw6: 5/5 Finally, music that sounds like you are getting on a ship quick, fast, and in a hurry. Dw7 allies: 3/5 Pretty epic. For the glory of Woooooo Dw7 wei: 2/5 ugh, I tried. The beginning was pretty cool through. Dw8: 4/5 Ah, I like this collaboration. The big 3 going at it.
Not taking into consideration for the music but heres how I would rank the Chibi stages based on their core level design in my opinion: DW2 (worst) DW9 DW4 DW6 DW3 DW5 DW7 DW8 (best)
Tommy Nir Agreed, especially since it and the entire battle is pretty much one huge reward for setting everything up right and basically a massive parade of Wei's finest... I also think it's kind of awesome that this is a reprise of the DW7 Wu Chi Bi theme, only this time it plays for Wei. In other words: "Your leaders are strong, your warriors are brave, your strategies are smart - but even even though the wind may sing your tune, Wei will always be stronger, braver, and smarter."
I think the voice playing in the background is backwards...and it is a nurse paging a doctor in a hospital. I'm playing the song on Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, and the voice can be heard saying "Doctor (Name), you're needed to the main lobby."
7's Thousands Suns was better than 8's version, it made Shu and Wu feel like they're done for until the fire attack was a success plus it made Huang Gai 10x more bad ass IMO
7/10 DW2/3 (Wei): Fits the battle quite well 5/10 DW2/3 (Allied): Nice 90s electronic beat, but not that good 4/10 DW4: Nice beat, but a bit too slow(doesn't really suit the intense battle) 7/10 DW5: Drums are loud, but awesome 8/10 DW5 (Wei): Quick beat, good drums 9/10 DW6: Speedy, but less intense than others 8/10 DW7 (Wu): Slightly slower than DW6, yet epic 7/10 DW7 (Wei): Sometimes slow and sometimes fast, resembles an actual withdrawal 10/10 DW8: Intense. Epic. 8/10 DW8 (Jin): Fast beat as usual, just less epic
