If anyone bothers to read the blog, they are doing 2 modes. One is Romance (Default), which follows closely to Dynasty Warrior, where one general can hold off against hundreds of troops.
I've read the novel so I am not sure where they got the idea of "these characters can hold their own against hundreds of rank-and-file warriors", so it seems likely to be influenced by Dynasty Warriors somewhat. It's also the first total war games to have unique models for characters
The other mode is more for a historical approach (Classic) where all generals have bodyguard units https://www.totalwar.com/blog/three-kingdoms-romanticised-history
They also announce there will be loots and Dueling system, where after you defeat Lu Bu you can take his Red Hare. Formations will be tied to characters, so "Strategist" such as Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi etc will be very useful, read more here https://www.pcgamer.com/5-big-changes-coming-to-total-war-three-kingdoms/
Dynasty Warriors 8 XL Complete Edition is really your only option. I know a few other titles were released on pc but I wouldn't recommend them. DW8XLCE isnt that demanding, I've seen some non gaming laptops run it. If anything check the required specs or go to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri Also its worth noting that DW8XLCE is 50% off on steam right now for this weekend. If you plan to pick it up, nows the best time. Hope it works out.
YES!!! Why don't they announce the PC version with the rest of the consoles? Seeing Koei's facebook wall talking about PS4 this, PS4 that... it's painful. But I've always had faith on a PC release!
We have DW8, DW8 Empires, One Piece Pirate Warriors 3, the last Ninja Gaiden (spinoff), Dead or Alive and now this.
Now I just need Bladestorm, please. Pretty please.
WAIT, BLADESTORM IS THERE TOO!!! https://steamdb.info/sub/60749/
Edit: Oh, it was announced yesterday: http://www.reddit.com/r/dynastywarriors/comments/2wc4ix/bladestorm_nightmare_steam/ - Why doesn't Reddit show me this post on my front page! :(
It's not that bad, although I've only got two characters maxed so far. First of all, you should know where the Health +10 drop is on every stage. This guide really helps for this. You should also be able to get at least 8 combos on every enemy officer you face, as this will make them drop Attack/Defense +2 instead of +1. On the rare occasion that they drop +2 by default, a 16 combo will make it a +4. Default +4 drops can be turned into +8 drops with a 24 combo.
In case you knew all that, the biggest thing is just to keep at it. It does take a while, but there's a good amount of stuff to do in Conquest Mode, so it goes quick. Personally I grind Qing Province Rescue (helps with bonds too) until my Health is maxed, then just do whatever else I need to do.
This forum post will give you an idea of just how extensive the mechanics are in Gauntlet mode. Definitely the most robust mode of all the Warriors games, and the most replayable.

Also, be sure to click on "Alternative download link".
Also they can do this per terms of service and conditions from Playstation Network under wallet:

This is frustrating, but nothing any customer can do other than not pre-order anymore.
As noted, it's available free online, but if you wanna buy a Kindle version direct from Amazon (I did), check this: https://www.amazon.com/Romance-Three-Kingdoms-Luo-Guanzhong-ebook/dp/B019PLY87K/
At least in terms of readability, it's been sufficing just fine. 82% through, gonna replay the DW8XL story mode after I finish up in order to fascinate myself w/ all the little alterations - and accuracies.
I had contact amazon with chat and Koei via twitter. Koei said they had sent Amazon the codes OCT 16. Amazon said they did not receive anything and that the codes are generated by Manufacture Koei. That we should contact them for the codes.
​
if you go to https://www.amazon.com/Warriors-Orochi-4-PlayStation/dp/B07D45PHF4/ and in product description it says you will receive costumes.
​
This is the third game from KT that amazon has crapped out on us. I am going to stop pre-ordering anything KT from now on and you should too from amazon...
It's not that expensive on Amazon, you can get a kindle app for phone or PC for free and read it there. It's a wonderful read and helps establish the tropes expected of ladies in the Han in sometimes surprising ways (though often, disappointingly stereotypical manner.) https://www.amazon.com/Exemplary-Women-Early-China-Translations/dp/0231163096/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2N3Z5MST45LYF&keywords=Biographies+of+Exemplary+Women&qid=1670236598&sprefix=biographies+of+exemplary+women%2Caps%2C639&sr=8-1

I may have messed up, it is Dynasty Legends 2, not Dynasty Warriors 2, LOL
The Emulator is Aether SX2 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.aethersx2.android
note: you need to have a high end device with snapdragon 845
As for DW4 and DW4XL I downloaded them from a website called CDromance
It is also the same on the UK amazon
Metacritic Reviews Here, if you're interested
Edit: and a Video. It's not graphically stunning, but it looks like it could be a good time waster if you've already exhausted your copy of WO3 ;)
are you looking for "shin sangoku musou 6 special (dynasty warriors 7)" or dynasty warriors 6? why play the ps2 version while the pc version is much better. dynasty warriors 6 is also availabe on pc.

Generals, to all who are still confused about how the online co-op would work for the Dynasty Warriors titles, here's another way to break it down:
Go to https://parsec.app/login
Sign Up
Download Parsec and verify email registration
Log in from the app.
If you're just there to join a gamer from a friend then you'll want to add them on friends list first.
Once the invitation is accepted then you're screen will either display the intended app or it will tell you the host is doing something.
From there the host makes sure your controller is registered to the system and may have to run a test.
Depending on the changes and what PC and controller you're using, you may have to get DS4 which is one of the apps that registers your controller.
You don't need the game to play it but if you're the one hosting then, you'll need the game and system. Here are some photos so you have better idea. Please contact me if you still have questions. I do have a discord channel and i use its features to test my settings live.
Instead of going to a random tumblr site, here's the actual link to the DW9 Sale on Amazon (US):
It is $13.95 in the US.
I bought this version (Three Kingdoms: A Historical Novel https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/7119005901/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xETQAb2AXR0MB ) of the book about 6 months ago. I got near the end of the first novel and then stopped reading it. Been meaning to get back and read it but been so busy with school work I haven't had time. Brilliant book though. If there was an audio book I would definitely give it a go, but the paper back book is nice to have.
I am not sure, the developer is a Chinese developer. So unfortunately no, but it is simple enough to understand even though it is in chinese. A lot of people are been asking for an english version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mfun.kovsea&hl=en
There is another chibi version made by Taiwan, but not as fun https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wegames.kov.tw2.and&hl=en
