Ayane is a beast. So is Lianshi.
Oh yeah, they started that new naming scheme for the women of DW to be more accurate. Lianshi, Zhenji, Sun Shangxiang, etc.
Overall, I'm really loving this game. A ton of characters, pretty much all of them unique, some cool stages, and they even added some incentive to kill the peons on the map (one of my biggest gripes with earlier DW games). Possibly the best Warriors game so far. Even the story isn't half bad.
I still think I prefer DW7's story mode because it's historical fiction, but damn if Warriors Orochi 3 isn't all sorts of amazing.
One thing I wish Koei had done is make the DW7 DLC costumes compatible with this game, but I realize that's pretty unreasonable. Plus, all the DW characters (that aren't new to 7) get their DW6 and 5 costumes anyway, and the characters in SW1 and 2 get their old costumes as alternates, as well.
