As if in answer to my fears that Dynasty Warriors 7's new sub-weapon system would remove a measure of individuality from the game's 70+ characters, Tecmo Koei has dribbled out a few screens revealing some EX Attacks.
EX Attacks are unique moves unlocked by each character when equipped with their weapon of choice. From the looks of things, they'll be one off attacks that work similarly to the unique shoulder-button moves debuted in Warriors Orochi.
It's still unclear if each character will get their own move based on their starting weapon, or if it's a pool of moves separated into clumped weapon types. Time will tell, I suppose.
Also, this game is the biggest cultural event since Alien Ant Farm.

Yep. There are character models for him with both an eyepatch and with two eyes.
@Jim Sterling
I think its pretty cool. I don't remember when exactly in the books Xiahou Dun lost his eye but its was a good way in. I like that they have a before and after.
Fuck it I justw ant this to come out already, struggle to maintain coherent thought when DW is around.
