Anyways speaking of a sequel, isn't it getting close to time for it to be announced? I know Robby's given us the typical Dynasty Warriors schedule a few times but I can never remember it.
For Koei it's generally about 2 years between numbered installments in a franchise. If they have an x-treme legends or Tactics style expansion (with a few extra characters and missions, but no new levels or attacks) that's 8-12 months between, but they haven't announced one yet, so it's probably not going to happen. (Other companies crap out a new Naruto or Dragonball game once a year with minimal changes, and no diversity at all in movesets, just an extra couple identical characters)
We just had the 2012 Tokyo Game Show, (1 year since the ANNOUNCEMENT of the first game, and 8 months since the release) and there was nothing there, so it's going to be a while.
But the game sold crazy ammounts of copies, there WILL be a sequel.
The first one was announced in a September issue of jump… I'd imagine the second will be announced then as well. So, no announcement until September 2013, and no release till February 2014. Probably.
They could push really hard and do it in a year and a half due to sales instead of 2 (which is actually not as good, we want as much dev time as possible) but we still wouldn't get an announcement until March if that was the case.
