Midna looks amazing. I wonder what their reason was for picking the imp form over her true form was, just because she's more iconic? I'm happy they decided to go with this look.

Fi is next huh? Is she popular in Japan? I always got the impression that she was disliked by the vast majority of players here in the west.

she has a giant fist coming out of her head, maybe that had something to do with it

Love all the Twilight Princess goodness this game is getting since it's one of my favorite Zelda games. Can't wait for this, day one :)

Maybe because it's the one people are the most familar with? And we never see her fight in her 'human' form, so makes sense that they'd keep that secret (provided it's in the game to be begin with... but I'm sure it is).

And as another GAFfers said, her attacks with the Fused Shadow and the wolves actually look pretty darn cool :)

Midna seemed to have only 2 weapon styles. So Imp form and True form is a lock.

Surprised Fi wasn't talked about before with the whole "95% probability of a staff member in love with Agitha" thing.

But if Fi is in you can team up with Link so you can fight with Fi while you fight with Fi.

:)
 
Is there anyone that wanted Fi (with an annoying dialogue for every occasion)?

Fixed that for you :p
Agitha is awesome. She and Midna are my favourite Twilight Princess characters and in my top 5 favourite Zelda characters :3

I'm already happy due to getting a bunch of characters I like, but I wouldn't complain if Medli somehow made the cut too :D

Aww shit, I'm now visualizing attacks where she turns into a flying Master Sword. I may not like her, but her moveset potential is amazing.

I actually really want Yeta/Blizzeta to show up. If they ignore the opportunity to include an adorable yeti/frost giant in an oversized jumper, Omega Force is beyond saving.

What people have to realise is that they can't possibly add every single Zelda character ever made, and them adding Agitha doesn't change that, unfortunately. 9 characters limit or not.

There'd be waaaaaay too many characters that way.

No such thing :p Anyway, I'm guessing we'll be getting 3 SS characters if TP is any indication. Hopefully we get 3 per "major" game with some of the "minor" ones such as Minish Cap (Vaati), Phantom Hourglass (Linebeck) etc, getting only 1.

Someone should make a list of all potential Zelda characters for a HW game... I'm sure we'd go way over 100 if we include everyone (like Dampe from OoT or the Ikana King from MM).

Damn, it'd be cool if the Ikana King was a boss in this game!
 
Come on I can't believe they have 9 characters and that one of them is Agitha and another one is an original character. Fuck this game if true.

I'd be disappointed if the Ikana King or Captain Keeta aren't in the game. We have Stalchildren and Stalfos, we need a leader to fight.

Half the cast is male, and 3/9 is definitely not half. I'm not sure why people still think there is going to be only 9 characters.

To be fair, I believe TK makes the distinction between Playable characters (only playable in story mode) and Enemy characters (definitely playable, but probably in a dream mode-like mode). At least, that's how it's presented on the official website.

Would explain why the E3 demo only 9 slots (which was weird to begin with). But otherwise, yeah, there definitely won't be only 9 playable characters total. Still, I'd love them to finally confirm Zant and Cia and co are playable : /

Yeah, of the currently announced villains the only one I see with chance of not being playable is Wizzro, and even that's highly unlikely. I just want a Ganondorf trailer available to see his moves so I know whether or not to hold out hope for blue pig Ganon.

If we're doing 3 per (I suspect) 3D console Zelda, I bet they will follow the same pattern as the TP reveals. Namely one pretty likely one, a boss that is later playable, and one random one. My personal speculation:

Ocarina of Time
Shiek
Darunia
Ganondorf (Boss First, Playable Later)
*Darunia or Ruto

Majora's Mask
Tingle
Happy Mask Salesman
Skull Kid (Boss First, Playable Later)
*Fierce Deity Link

The Wind Waker
Tetra
King of Hyrule (or King of Red Lions)
Ganondorf (Boss First, Playable Later)
*Medli or Makar

Twilight Princess (Confirmed)
Midna
Agitha
Zant (Boss First, Playable Later)
*Ashei or Shad

Skyward Sword
Groose
Fi
Ghirahim (Boss First, Playable Later)
*Demise

*If there's a 4th for each

I would love to see representatives from the handheld and pre-OOT Zeldas as well, but for some reason I get the feeling that isn't going to happen.

No one said there would only be 9 characters. They never said how many would be in the game. What people was a character select screen for an E3 demo where characters weren't announced. Multiple pages of characters can be added. No Warrior game has a cast that low.

Wait! What?

Are we showing off our musou collections?


I also have Strikeforce (great game) a few other Koei ones.

Oh OK that's the reason, I was jumping at conclusions. Thanks for clearing that out.

Seriously, get counseling.
(Today, 01:17 AM)

Why would you bother going into a Zelda/Dynasty Warriors thread just to troll, man? Seriously, get NeoGAF.


Back on topic: I'm wondering if each character will have their own playthrough or if you can switch them out. Has anyone seen how the character select works or has maybe played the other Dynasty Warriors games that have this feature? If it is a matter of multiple playthroughs, then I wonder how long this game is.
 
Well, since we have agitha, zant, and midna, that's all the characters worth half a shit from twilight princess

let's get the grooseman or linebeck next

Assuming this is an "average" Warriors game, how many characters could we expect?

That's the thing... it's not your average Warriors game.

Personally, I'd love to have a sh*t ton of playable characters, but I wouldn't mind having less of them if it means their attacks are more varied and polished.

It doesn't have a total 9 characters. That only came about because the character select screen on the Treehouse stream had 9 slots. So despite the fact that there could easily be multiple pages of 9 characters per page, people assumed that the game had a roster of 9.
 
Actually, I didn't think about that. Do we have 100% confirmation special attacks can be upgraded? Then again, they haven't told us much about the progression system (only impacts stats, or do you learn new moves that way too?) or the weapon upgrade system.

Hopefully in this week's Famitsu, along with Fi :p

well I know I saw levels

and I know I heard and read that you can level weapons with rupees and special items

like the hookshot you find it in the treasure chest but you need something else to upgrade it to make it long enough to reach the moon and pull it down

so 2 systems of upgrades and levels are in place I just wonder if they limit your move sets until you reach a kickass level or can you do all moves at the start


Do we really need to discuss this in every single Hyrule Warriors-thread?

nah you only have to put up with us for another month
this is like Smash Bros without the mega thread

Am I the only one that thinks that Midna is quite the hornbat..? In Twilight Princess when you first wake up as the wolf you get quite a good look at her nice arse. Well I wouldn't kick her out lol.

Maybe I need to get out more... :eek:/

One other great thing about her is that if you end up going out with her, because of her small impy form, any homemade porn videos are going to make you look hung like a fucking horse lmfao.

Yup. I need to get out A LOT more :eek:(
