This is my first Hype thread ever so go easy on me. Now why did I choose Dynasty Warriors 7? Simply put, I'm in love with the franchise. My first Dynasty Warriors game was Dynasty Warriors 3. I simply want to spread information about DW7 in this hype thread. There is a few people here that love the franchise and I want people to talk about it. Most of the information will be copy and paste with a few thing changed. That said I had to post this on GS which take a lot of work.
This isn't the regular hype thread. There isn't a poll to guess Gamespot score. Just a poll asking if you're getting the game. If you want to post your GS score predictions then go ahead. My goal is to take all of the information about DW7 and post them in a single thread. Sadly I don't see this thread lasting for long. However it will be worth it. I hope you guys like it. Please read and enjoy. Discuss about the game if you want.

Story Updates
Source: http://koeiwarriors.co.uk/dw7-gameinfo.php
• The storyline surpasses 234's Wuzhang -one of the oft-complained points-, and now properly ends in 280: Jin's unification of China and end of the ROTK period.
• The Jin Kingdom faction is newly added.
• Story Mode is apparently kingdom-based, and will focus on the 4 kingdoms of Wei, Wu, Shu and Jin.
• The Other force does not have a story mode, but players will be able to use the Other characters in Chronicle Mode.
• You will be playing as different characters as you choose other stages, thus seeing the overall kingdom stories from different character perspectives. The character for that stage will be fixed.
• For some important large battles, it will be split into two parts, so you can have two character perspectives (ex: Shu's Chang Ban, 1st Part: Zhao Yun, 2nd Part: Zhang Fei)
• The story events will be seamlessly incorporated into gameplay, similar to God of War 3.
• To further reflect the seamlessness above, the usual pre-battle briefing menu is no longer here. Instead, the player stands inside a friendly fortress where they can buy new weapons and interact with other characters for storyline insight before beginning the battle.
• There will be many interactions between characters that will make the storyline even deeper.
• Each kingdom will have around 15 to 25 stages until their endings.
• Jin's storyline will begin after the Battle of Wuzhang Plains ended, when the Sima clan starts holding major authority in Wei.
• Wu's storyline is said to be focused on an early era rather than a late era.
• Story Mode might be one-player only
Chronicle Mode (Conquest Mode for English version)

• This seems to be an individual, free-roam-China and create-your-own-destiny story mode.
• You move across a hex-grid map of China.
• In-between battles, you can visit cities to buy and upgrade weapons.
• You can also interact with other unique characters, and depending on how you interact, you can unlock more playable characters from this mode.
• When you join a faction you will be able to play in their specific stages.
• Each characters will also have special stages unique to them, such as battles that take place in ROTK, or what-if scenarios; for example, Sima Yi's special stage is Battle of Wu Zhang Plains.
• Other than the Weapon Blacksmith, there is an Item Peddler, a Restaurant, a Trainer and a Quizmaster in the city.
• For the Quizmaster, apparently you can get various things if you can answer the quizzes correctly.
• There will be also Gaiden / Side Story scenarios.
• After fulfilling certain conditions, the same person as player character may appear in the battlefield, but with an alternate colored costume.
• Chronicle Mode will have both Online and Offline (splitscreen) Co-op.
• Some stages will have limitations, such as whether you can bring partners and support animals, or not.
• You can re-battle the stages that you have already cleared.
