@RobbyBevard:
Hrm. How many generals will be recruitable? 17? One for each type?
Nah Hideoyshi users fire types and Yukimura too, Kanetsugu and Kenshin both use Psychic types(they are both from the same clan though), I guess some clans migth have the same type since Aya, Kenshin and Kanetsugu all seem to use the same type, Sanada is part of the Toyotomi eventually(like Hideyoshi).
Well Aya and Masanori Fukishima are the most recent additions to the warriors series and they are both in there, so I assume everyone from Samurai Warrior 3 will be there.
Plus there are random soldiers/generals as we can see in that party picture, there is the hero, Oichi, Motochika and 3 random guys(atleast I don't recognize any of them).
Tokugawa will eventually be announced, along with Honda, Ina, Nene and Hanzo.
So we got confirmed right now:
Oichi(normal)
Nobunaga Oda(dragon or electric, only Zekrom revealed)
Shingen Takeda(ground)
Kenshin Uesugi(psychic)
Mitsuhide Akechi(ice I assume, migth be flying)
Motochika Chosokabe(water)
Motonari Mori(grass)
Hideyoshi Toyotomi(fire)
Keiji Maeda(unkown)
Mitsunari Ishida(unknown)
Kyomasa Kato(unknown
Masanori Fukishima(unknown)
Gracia(unkown)
Aya(seems psychic)
Date Masamune(seems like he is using birds in the trailer, so flying, atleast he has Starly, Rufflet and something else)
Sanada Yukimura(fire)
Ginchiyo Tachibana(unkown)
Kanetsugu Naoe(psychic)
So 18 confirmed
Guys I think are 99% confirmed:
Ieasy Tokugawa(the eventual Shogun)
Tadakatsu Honda(main general of Tokugawa)
Muneshige Tachibana(Ginchiyo husband)
Ujiyasu Hojo(one of the 4 powers, along with Shingen, Kenshin and Nobunaga)
Ranmaru Mori(Nobunaga general dies with him)
No(Nobunaga wife)
Yoshihiro Shimazu(Muneshige rival, important in the last battles)
Toshiie Maeda(one of Nobunaga generals and Kenji uncle)
Katsui Shibata(another Nobunaga general, I don't see him not appearing since Hideyoshi generals are all appearing)
Hattori Hanzo(Tokugawa ninja general)
Kotaru Fuma(Appears in a lot of battles in the story)
Nagamasa Azai(Oichi husband)
So that would be 30 already
I really think all the 39 will be in if they took the time to doa lot of random people, I don't see why not get all of them there, all of Hideyoshi generals are in there I don't see why others won't be there also.
So I guess we will have a lot to choose if we get all those 39 and the random ones, I guess after having 6 known generals the random ones will probably become obsolete.
If it has any resemblance to the other Nobunaga games I assume we will probably choose a clan and work from there and not be able to have them all in one play, unless this goes more into a Samurai Warriors/Samurai Warrior Chronicles way and we are able to use all of them after we meet some criteria.
