Mitsuhide must feel very stressed after each day he spends with his cheeky cohort but Katsuie would probably handle him completely differently. I wonder how Ranmaru would treat him (outside of the tiny, tiny glimpse we saw in <i>4</i>)? With half of the Oda family having been missing for so long, it feels as though we're long overdue for some decent side stories about them all.<br /><br />(I still want to see an <i>Oda Chronicle</i> manga anthology one day...)Raindrops and Daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260862819130130353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-5626493024792836242014-12-13T09:16:41.104+00:002014-12-13T09:16:41.104+00:00We'll probably see Yoshimoto, Ujimasa and Kenn...We'll probably see Yoshimoto, Ujimasa and Kennyo again one day... but they don't seem to be a very high priority. Since Ujimasa doesn't need so many updates he's probably first in line of the group for a return, at least!<br /><br />I think Ujimasa could well reappear in the next game, though the other two probably need more focus in the main story in order to successfully return without ending up at the bottom of the popularity list again. They both have a lot of potential (and Yoshimoto is just plain fun). I was really hopeful when they suddenly brought him back for the stage play series even though he disappeared again right after the show ended.<br /><br />If YamamotoD and the others can successfully update the less popular guys for the current system I'd like to see them reintroduced with full stories and additional new character relationships to give them more appeal. I imagine that Yoshimoto will <i>really</i> irritate Naotora so I'd like to see that one day if possible :DRaindrops and Daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260862819130130353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-9872207612120099462014-12-04T19:12:18.892+00:002014-12-04T19:12:18.892+00:00I really hope that they’re serious about the stage...I really hope that they’re serious about the stage play thing and that it was not just a random thought! <br />Hmm subs on screen, it would be like one of those Italian operas when they perform them in foreign countries. Classy entertainment ;)<br />And yes why not, if they’re serious and understand that there is wider interest, why not put subs on the DVDs?<br /><br />It would probably be a huge relief for both Mitsuhide and Ranmaru if Katsuie could babysit the childsoldier instead. Have you played Battle Heroes? Ranmaru’s story is really funny.

I'll just comment on wha...Very interesting all! I'll just comment on what I found most interesting, then, I guess.<br /><br />I'm glad they wanna bring back Nouhime, Ranmaru, Itsuki, Xavi, and Musashi. Hm, but no mention of Yoshimoto, Ujimasa or Kennyo, eh? Perhaps they're really gone for good. Truly a shame, but at least they're still keeping the other missing characters in mind.<br /><br />The section on Keiji sadly didn't reveal what I'd hope it would- that is, why Keiji has a connection to Hideyoshi and Nene. I suppose they could just be transferring Toshiie's fabled friendship/real camraderie with Hideyoshi to Keiji. Learning where these characters come from is always very interesting though. And Kanetsugu being the next posterboy huh? Even in jest, I'd be very happy about that, seeing what Sakon did for Hideyoshi and Hanbei... then again Oyakata-sama's still unplayable and Yukimura's been there a while, so...<br /><br />On a similar note, Yuuichi-san is also a Kenshin fan huh? Maybe I've been too hard on Sakon. Ahahaha. Seriously though it's good to know someone involved in the series shares my admiration of Kenshin from both a historical standpoint and Basara standpoint. <br /><br />As far as an interaction between Sakon and Kenshin, it'd require something very specific that I really couldn't see outside of a drama CD I think. Namely, well, Kenshin seems to get along best with Ashikaga outside of everyone except Maria and Keiji, and the historical Kenshin was noted as well cultured in the arts... so, having Kenshin show up to Sakon playing a gambling game in Kyoto and taking him on would be cool.<br /><br />If it was within feasible traveling distance (I'd be willing to take a train, as long as it would be a day trip there... or I could sleep on the train I guess...) I'd love to see one of the stage plays in the US. <br /><br />Finally, a speculation: I wonder if, as Yoshimoto seems to be gone, they'll treat the Ii as the "Imagawa" from now on, or they'll try to link Naotora with the Tokugawa some more. Having the Ii as standalone feels strange as they only were for like 5 years or so. Then again I guess the Kuroda never quite were anything more than vassals either...<br /><br />Also, yes, Fujita's pictures are hilarious. >w<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-91781150406075345612014-12-02T20:46:39.984+00:002014-12-02T20:46:39.984+00:00Yesss, you should watch the latest stage play (゜∇゜...Yesss, you should watch the latest stage play (゜∇゜)<br /><br />It took me a while to notice that Fujita Ray sometimes tweets in English too, spreading the news to his foreign fans. His English is rather good! I guess they could stage the play with 'subtitles' using the background screen if they ever felt like trying a performance for a foreign audience. Maybe I should start nagging them to add subtitles to the DVDs as a first step (lol).<br /><br />My impression was that the resources they were driving at were 'time' and 'money', but I hope they can find enough of both soon. The missing characters are long overdue for a glorious return and KobaP keeps saying he wants to support Katsuie; giving him more friends would be a good step towards that... :)<br /><br />Ranmaru's storylines could probably really benefit from him getting to interact positively with someone a little less openly evil than the usual company he keeps... and there's so much room for cute Nouhime scenes now that there's a member of the Oda army who is less self-assured than the others. They <i>have to</i> bring them back soon!Raindrops and Daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260862819130130353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-51161994818966649562014-12-02T20:37:30.912+00:002014-12-02T20:37:30.912+00:00YamamotoD seemed to be in a very playful mood this...YamamotoD seemed to be in a very playful mood this time around.

I've spent the last hour doing work with Sunday and his friends babbling in the background. It makes the time fly by :D<br /><br />The line is from one of his encounters with Sourin in <i>Sengoku Basara 4</i>.

Like when they interact in normal/bizarre ways.<br />https://twitter.com/Ray_FJT/status/538316591331430400<br />Adds to making me want to watch the stage play. <br />They want to perform a SB stageplay in a Western country someday? Wow I wonder how they would do that. Always glad when the creators shows signs of knowing that there are overseas fans. <br /><br />Hmm what sort of ”resources” would they lack to bring back Nouhime and Ranmaru?<br />I want to see how they interact with Katsuie! (other than the little flashback/hallucination)<br />Hoping that the big annoucement will include moar games :)Lumihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929000776208683128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361352180531330342.post-77962492786277912012014-12-01T19:31:58.833+00:002014-12-01T19:31:58.833+00:00Thanks a lot for the great review!!!!
