lmao same, I was surprised that they didn't roll her moves out a little slower with tutorials. I'll have to check again for character guides in the menu...
I'm almost sure this is going to be the case. It would be really lame if this was a straight what if
Performance isn't great, but it's more than workable for me. Gameplay is pretty fun and overall progression system is definitely well thought out and nice use of the world. Presentation overall is top notch. I'm iffy on the story direction so far, but hopefully they don't go overboard with it and just keep things pretty straight with how events unfold. If it works, it works, but I'm not exactly filled with confidence on Nintendo's writing chops. Always better when they keep things simple rather than trying to be clever and complex.
Impa is a lot of fun, but it takes quite a lot of trial and error to understand how she operates. The whole absorbing enemies for creating duplicates was not very clear at first. Still need to figure out how to reliably launch her in the air. But I like how she plays a lot and Link is for sure a beast. Zelda is I guess appropriately feeble but still interesting to play. Again with her I had issues with some of her Sheikah powers, never got Cryonis to work, took a few times to figure out Magnesis.

I'm not completely sure about this, but it seems like ZR marks the enemy, and when you use a strong attack on the marked enemy it generates your clones. Not sure what other advantages there might be in attacking marked enemies (ie. increased damage, etc.).

Not sure if I'm sold on the gameplay as someone who isn't really familiar with Musou. Will probably wait for an in depth performance analysis as well, since the demo version is pretty rough docked.
Right on, thanks.
Very interesting..
We were definitely led to believe the game would be "canon." I'm not sure if Nintendo ever used that word (lol, of course they wouldn't, that word is anathema to them), but that is definitely the impression we were given up until now.
Yes, some stuff has been found in data mines
Icons have been found
Likely for sure King Rhoam and future Champions are playable. It seems Hetsu, Great Fairy, Kohga and monk Maz May be as well. Mini Gaurdian and Ganon might be or just be map icons
So 16 likely maybe 18

Yup. No excuses for not giving us the future champions for us to mess around in free mode now!
Yep, also puts some doubt as to the outcome of the storyline that wouldn't be there if it was just a prequel to the events as described in BOTW.

Was really hoping Purah and Robbie would end up playable, but I shouldn't be too surprised since they're side characters more than anything.

Holy shit. But where the hell are Purah and Robbie :/

holy hell that's way more characters than I expected
gotta say the game is nice and im stoked for the story BUT. I just find the dynasty warriors gameplay loop boring after a while. cant play more than one map.
they want you to like them based on cutscenes so you're excited to buy them as DLC next year!
theyve gotta be future updates, they have art and everything :/ I'm surprised the future champions don't seem to be dlc
Yeah I'm a bit down on that too, surprised Monk Maz made it since Impa has aspects of his moves. Down the new Yiga isn't playable either. There's always dlc tho
I was expecting 16, that's where HW base roster was after the month after launch free update. Anything on top of that's a fun bonus
KT hides dlc stuff and this is gameplay icons for playable characters. They're in base
Yeah man that's what I'm saying. Robbie and Purah aren't here because they're going to be DLC
Whoops thought you meant the future champions. Yeah I can see it
Dlc doesn't have to be canon stuff, heck likely it won't be a campaign. Most Warriors dlc is just characters with some new challenges, HW1 just tacked those onto challenge maps and an epilogue which is more than what most get
True, I guess it was legends which really added the new campaign, and that was a completely separate sku
I think y'all are reading waaaay too much into the time travel shit. The Zelda team worked on the story for this. It is canon. No branching paths. It's just adding a wrinkle to the story we didn't know before--one which may come into effect in BotW2.
The future Champions are probably gonna be in an epilogue of some sort. Given that the Zelda team wrote AoC's story, I'm not sure if they'd mess with things too much by bringing them into the main campaign.

So Sidon, Hestu, and Kohga are all likely playable. Welp, I'm happy!
That's also part of the reason why I'm expecting changes. I have a hard time seeing the same guy who asked, "What would Link do?" be okay with the answer to his question being, "Nothing, 'cause he's dead." They'll re-write the ending so that Link can be there and be the hero.

With the character leak...
Will be interesting to see how they implement the future champions in AOC

I just tried co-op (unlocks after the first mission it seems) and it actually does pretty well. Looks like things just pop-in a bit closer and there is some sort of dynamic resolution happening, but its a LOT smoother to play than it was in the first Hyrule Warriors.
This is going to be a fun game to play with a friend.

From what I played, it help up really well in split-screen co-op.
really...?
We 100% only played in split screen (except for mission one since it's not even an option)
It was alright at times.
But certain encounters dropped to ~15 fps for sure for some moments.
One of them was Lightning Wizzrobe iirc with lightning on the screen. Funnily, a few encounters I expected a drop didn't drop that bad. Then some fights I thought not a lot was happening had steep drops.
Theba,Riju,Yonobo and Sidon. Pretty much the Champion's race primary contact point in BotW
yeah I think Cia's story was a free update but that's it
Epilogue seems like the easiest choice, but we'll see
Both new villains actually. Also Robbie, Purah and King Dorephan
I didn't experience that but I was testing it by myself, so one of the screens was more or less idol.
It felt better than Hyrule Warriors : DE did in split screen.
also when you've charged all 3 symbols and use your special you get a much stronger special with a unique animation.
Performance is a bit rough for my tastes. I may skip the game for the time being and wait for the fabled "Switch Pro" (assuming performance is better, and assuming the new version is worth buying). That being said, main theme is absolutely wonderful.
