I’ve received so many emails, so many questions in the past few months. I don’t like to just ignore and leave you guys with confusion (like what this community has done to me in the past) so I’ve answered your questions from what I know and what I can, but the same questions keep popping up so I have decided to the questions I have received and to answer them here so you can get things clear. I answer as many as I can, what I can and what I know, and please stay calm if the answer is not the one you would like to hear. By the way, it’s Friday, the 13th, so I give you bad news!

These are the questions that I’ve received repeatedly in the past and I hope this has cleared things out at this stage. But as you guys are smart, you might notice and want me to at least give a reason “why” is this not coming, “why” is that not happening. Some of them, I really don’t know. Some of them, it’s not possible to answer, but I hope with these confirmations, you can make your next move and have a clear vision on what’s going to happen.
By the way, check this bad boy out, thanks to @Lead_wotawaster for sending me this – 47. Dynasty Warriors 3, 32. Dynasty Warriors 3, 28. Samurai Warriors – this is amusing. Do have to admit we didn’t do well on the voice acting in our games – we know it, everyone knows it and we’ll keep trying our best to improve!
Very informative as always! I totally just watched that video yesterday haha!
That’s one crazy video I had so much laugh and thanks for dropping by <3
The guy’s face is priceless. lol
The voice acting in Legends of Troy and Bladestorm was excellent. So Koei can do great voice acting. But this was likely due to the Western voice actors being more familiar with the subject matter. They understood their roles and characters. But with the other Warriors games, they don’t really know the story behind ROTK or history with feudal Japan. So it is harder for them to get into the characters. So they all end up sounding like a bad anime.
Koei is improving though.
Hahahaha! That video was great! DW3 voices really were pretty bad, and that’s why people give so much hate for the voices in the later games. But I have to say that KOEI has made big improvements in the English voices. I have no problem with most of them in DW7 (except for Sun Quan…I REALLY miss his old voice). I’m using JP voices right now, and they’re okay I guess. But once I’ve heard them enough I’m switching back…I love Cao Cao’s English voice <3 as well as hearing Guo Huai coughing all the time…he sounds way too healthy in JP.
I must agree that DW7 voice have gone much better and yes that video was too funny I’ve had a great laugh :)
Hello, Chin. Please, could you tell the team that developed the game to add Dong Bai for a future Dynasty Warriors game? She would be an excellent new female character to Other. Thank you.
I can tell but the decision is up to them. Sometimes it’s really down to what the team has planned for the story wise and the connection wise, if that character is needed then he/she would be signed to be in.
Yes, I understand. At least if you talk about her to them, that they may give an idea of how they could include Dong Bai in the story. Thank you, Chin.
Will you patch in any English voice acting on Samurai Warriors Chronicles? It gets really hard to have to read mid battle. Would be better if I can just hear what I need to do.
So sorry about that. Samurai Warriors: Chronicles is JP VO only. I’ve checked the list and everything it’s not likely to be happened.
Oh no.its.no problem the game is fantastic. Final question. Do you think the team would be opposed to making another game like Chronicles but taking it a step furthur? Example: fully customize your character from the start with a couple weapon styles, hair eyes etc. Then it becomes like an rpg. You can choose which army to fight for and how you act with officers changes how they act to you(sort of the same system.) But while keeing in history
I don’t think there’s any plan for this at the moment but you do have a great idea there.
Shoot sorry hit publish by mistake(im.typing this on my phone.) While keeping in history your character can choose to run his own army and have maybe 1-2 created characters join or preset officers.(this wouldn’t happen till after nobunagas death) and depeding on relations with a character they would be more likely to join you and stay.
Some people love it to be RPG wise but some people they prefer to use as many characters and as simple as it can be but what you said there is great.
i dont have a wii so it suck i can’t play samurai warriors 3 i have a psp but i can’t play DWSF2 i wish it still get an overseas release. and wasn’t the DW7 DLC not free thing is to help japan earthquake/tsunami event? that what i heard from koei warriors site bak then and probably why the DLC are price
In oversea, the DLC is free for Japanese voice over only. The rest costs a little like costume for 79p I’m not sure about the reason but it could be right of what you’ve mentioned.
Chin, do you know why SW3Z/XL aren’t getting an overseas release?
I’m curious to know why Koei would make that decision. Just so I may understand, instead of being sour about it not coming over.
Could be either quality wise or sales wise I believe.
But I think if you really want it you can import it from PlayAsia but one bad thing is it’s Japanese voice over and text.
Fair enough.
I’m not going to hate KOEI for their decision, I’ll still buy their games. Be they imports or no.
I feel the pain though but yeah just want to clarify because I dont want people to wait for too long for nothing.
Kinda bummed about Samurai 3 not being overseas oh well ill wait for the 4th one ahah.
Let’s hope so :)
Hi I’m from mexico and a big fan of the DW series, but I have a big problem because the DLC of DW7 is not on any side in the xbox’s market place I search fo it and does not appear, will be released in my country?
I thought it’s up there now I will investigate and get back to you.
Hi! Do you know if it will be possible for the male character to use the weapon of the female and vice versa? Or even make both characters be playable in the same save?
If you choose Male character you’ll be playing him through the game, no? Same if you choose female, you can’t change the gender.
My question refers to SWC.
Sorry Mr. Chin one more question XD. Do you think there is any chance for another Samurai Warriors: Empires? My friends and I always have a blasty blast playing SW2E and really want another one T_T
No for now I can say.
Warriors Of Troy Sucked anyway.
I want Warriors Orochi 3, regular and Empires. Would be day 1 purchase for me.
Thank you for being so enthusiastic <3

dear chin,thank you for help
u are nice guy
I am so prond of u.
No problem man.
Hi, Im a fan of Dynasty Warriors Gundam, I wanted to know if the japanese voices will be present too in the DWG 3 US Version?? because I heard the European edition was going to get it.
That’s its my question, Thank you for your time.
I believe it’s a yes.
i had a question about SW chronicles, i got the second and third pack ( dont know how i don’t understand this 3ds stuff) but what did i miss in the first pack, and is there a chance i can still get it later?
I didn’t miss the first pack because that was an error when you got the notification with nothing inside so basically you didn’t miss the first one because that one was a mistake that made by us on that Friday.
Will there ever be another SW and DW crossover again? :(
It all depends to how many people demanding it :) Feel free to voice it on http://facebook.com/koeigames the team checked the page time by time anyway (yes even in Japan) – Let’s make it happen <3
Hey, Insp Chin, could you ask KOEI to localize SW3Z in the overseas? I really want to play it and it’s sad and unfair that KOEI does that…. thank you. :)
