Will they finally make Hyrule Warriors 2 after Age of Imprisonment?

>>721061362 (OP)
Would

>>721061362 (OP)
Ship sailed, if you don't have Zelda musou fatigue after 3 of these you are retarded. But yes a musou combining all Zelda games makes 100 times more sense than this BotW based bullshit with character designs that don't even feel cool to play as

>>721061362 (OP)
Nigga what? Age of Imprisonment is Hyrule Warriors 3.

Will Age of Imprisonment have the same no content issue?
Also will there still no enemy hero units that move around taking back bases, etc.?
I love Age of Calamity but I hate how every map is just kill everyone and no base capturing / recapturing strategic element whatsoever.

Bro I care SO MUCH about the Nameless sages and some fuckoff korok

>>721061523
It's BotW Warriors 2. A real Zelda Warriors should have a roster drawing from all the games

>>721061762
A sapient lynel OC could be cool as a character.

>>721061762
I like it better that the cast is focused. HW1 feels really cheap fanservice-y to me.

What's next for the crossovers tho?
I want Warcraft Warriors.

>>721061362 (OP)
I don't mind the casts of the BotW Warriors games, but I'm not a fan of how they try to chop up the maps into the stages, it doesn't work very well compared to the normal crafted Warriors map.

We peaked. At least if it wasn't so grindy and gimmicky, the story was less shit and the maps less generic and ugly

>>721061831
>HW1 feels really cheap fanservice-y to me.
as opposed to rehashing botw assets

>>721062187
Yes.

>>721061362 (OP)
Will it have best girl?

>>721061491
As if tingle was any better

>>721062352
Tingle was kino and so were his games

>>721062334
Too problematic

>>721061883
Star Wars/Lord of the Rings like the DWO producer wanted to.

>>721062334
>two wars that destabilized the space-time continuum started because this woman couldn't get laid

>>721061362 (OP)
>Not Fire Emblem Warriors 2
It's not even celebration of the series since they just took whatever games (3ds) that's popular at the time.

>>721061831
HW1 was high effort fanservice. It's BOTW Warriors that's the cheap cashgrab.

I would've liked Age of Calamity if it didnt puss out and was genuinely the tragic kino of how team Hyrule lost to Ganon

>>721062641
The constant fps drops ruined it for me

>>721061523
No it's not, the shitty botw warriors games are not the same series as hyrule warriors

>>721061362 (OP)
it's unbelievable how fucking bad BotW graphics are compared to this but they just keep making games with that awful dogshit.

>>721061362 (OP)
Just make Genshin Warriors (about the Archon War), nobody cares about Zelda anymore

>>721062641
Not my experience.
>>721062776
Yeah it was disappointing but I really liked the game aside from that, at least it's playable now on Switch 2 but I don't understand why they didn't release a 60fps patch yet.

>>721062641
Exactly this. HW1 went all in with love for the series-completely original maps, unique movesets, and it actually celebrated Zelda’s legacy instead of pretending to be a prequel with time travel BS. AoC felt like a mod for BotW with performance issues and a plot that got scared to commit.

>>721062528
Making FE warriors but just awakening and Fates was intolerable.
Blew its one shot in my eyes

>>721062712
The game would have literally been 20 minutes long.

The calamity consists of Zelda and Link walking around doing nothing for weeks then the calamity happens and everyone immediately dies. There's exactly two battles Fort Hateno where Link died and Akkala Citadel where all the remaining soldiers died after all the leaders died.

That's why they had to completely change everything from the very beginning so the calamity occurs before Link even met Zelda and they had to find the sages during an active war instead of finding them all during peace time.

>>721062528
>>721064087
Didn't the devs dislike the franchise anyway?

>>721064616
The director of Fire Emblem Warriors knew nothing about Fire Emblem. He didn't want to add Lucina or Lyn because he didn't know they were popular and got forced by nintendo to add them. They didn't add Hector because he didn't want more sword users in the game and assumed since Hector is a lord he uses a sword.

He also made the protagonists identical movesets when they were originally going to be a sword user and a spear user because he thought that it was too complex to introduce the weapon triangle in the tutorial.

>>721061362 (OP)
why? what would be different?
they're more likely to do another fire emblem warriors game for engage, or start work on the fortune's weave musou

>>721062528
there's way too many characters if they did the whole series
focusing on awakening and fates was fine

Discuss Mineru.

>game about "Imprisonment War"
>not even the cool one from ALTTP
>The only character who's not a fucking goat-man is Zelda
>Link is nowhere to be seen
Who the fuck asked for this?

>>721066472
Trailers are teasing a Zoni robot Link and odds are Link will be playable even if post game and non-canon only.

>>721066472
The same people who asked for Age of Calamity to have a happy ending

i havent played any warriors games they look like shit

>>721066150
Wasted potential

>>721066847
This
Basara was better

>>721064456
or they could have done the bad (canon) ending first and then the time travel retardation after.
everyone would have been happy.

>>721066472
>Who the fuck asked for this?
Given how age of calamity sold 4x what hyrule warriors did, a lot of people.

>>721062641
Correct.
A HW that pays tribute to the series as a whole and ends up doing some really cool shit for the less utilised characters is far more preferable than BotW - fanfiction ending edition.
You could easily have a HW that pays tribute to every Zelda era and includes some Era of the Wild's love but limiting it like this, especially to arguably one of the least interesting parts of the newer games being the Imprisonment age, just sucks and reeks of wasted potential.
Being able to play as characters like Fi, Midna, a Teen, Toon AND Kid version of Link, The King of Red Lions, Zant was cool as shit.
Musou has always been a genre for me that was basically just rampant fanservice, be it about Samurai, Chinese Dynasties, the Three Kingdoms or shit like One Piece or Gundam. Why stop now?

>>721066150
My wife. Nothing more to discuss. Keep her name out of your mouths.

>>721066472
God I hope we get to play as Ganondorf. I'll riot otherwise. How does AoC play on Switch 2 nowadays? Still locked to 30 fps?

>>721067531
You could play as calamity ganon in AoC

>>721061362 (OP)
Zelda is going to be botw slop from now on

>>721067626
Yeah but it was a more humanoid form, not really the monstrosity from BotW

>>721061523
No one gives a shit about the Troon of the Wilds world and type of gameplay anymore. People want to see actual Zelda characters again

>>721066472
Tendies got really angry about the last BotW warriors game doing its own thing and now they're scared from veering of the garbage plot of ToTK

>>721061362 (OP)
holy shit Zelda was so hot in this. I HATE botw Zelda

>>721062334
I CANNOT believe Nintendo allowed the story to be
>delicious brown girl with huge tits and thick thighs is so horny for link she gets mind broken by a lack of dick

>>721062878
I cannot stand the botw artstyle and aesthetic. It’s been like 8 years with 2 games and 2 spin offs. I have botw fatigue

>>721062334
AAAAAH WHY DO WE HAVE TO SHILL THE VANILLA WHITE TRASH OF BOTW! I WANT MY BROWN-FU

>>721066150
distractingly sexy

>>721066150
I completely forgot that she was a thing in ToTK for 99.9% of my run

>>721066847
musou/warrior games have always been trash

>>721065243
Yeah this, I stand by that, if they tried to rep every game it would just be lords and that would be boring, like the FE reps in Smash. Would welcome another game that covered, say, the GBA games

>>721068510
keep telling yourself that, subhuman troon.

>>721061362 (OP)
I don’t know if it’s impressive or just sad that this character model looks 20x better than botw/ToTK despite being nearly a decade older

>>721069026
>No people don't want to see Zelda characters in their Zelda games anymore, they want continued BotW slop I'm not the troon YOU ARE THE TROON

>>721069041
To be fair, the original Hyrule Warriors was made on a shoestring budget, and its pre-rendered cutscenes looked like garbage, on the rare occasions they even existed.

>>721068624
>they got really angry for no reason at all!!
hindsight is 20/20 but it was heavily implied to be a canon prequel with a dark ending like crisis core. Imagine the final level being “mission-survive” and despite your best effort you die. That’s fucking cool. Instead we get time travel alt timeline gay shit

>>721069229
>for no reason at all!!
I don't know why you had to add that. I know why you tendies got angry, and I don't give a shit. BotW has one of the laziest, worst stories and some of the poorest performances ever in a video game. Literally anything would be better than that game's pathetic attempt at a fucking story and we'd all be better off if we got away from it.
>But it would have been so heckin epiggg if all these character died like in my fanfiction!!!
Do we have to endlessly rehash Halo Reach for every fucking prequel

>>721069702
the way you wrote it “tendies got really angry” is really demeaning implying only a subset of crazed fans were mad. Almost everybody was angry about the story hence why in almost all of the marketing for the new one they are deliberately using the word canon several times

>>721069702
>But it would have been so heckin epiggg if all these character died like in my fanfiction!!!
Did you not play botw at all shill-kun? All those characters literally die, you help their ghosts find peace in the game.

>>721070143
Most people didn't care at all

>>721061362 (OP)
This is the sexiest version of Zelda

wooooooo mama

>>721071913
True

>>721067272
I hope that's just a case of Switch having more users overall than Wii U.

>>721071806
Almost

A proper HW2 is the only way I'll be buying a new one. I love HW DE, I'm not going to play BOTW Warriors. They could have just given that era representation in a HW2.

>AOI already showed we are getting a sexy gerudo
>incredibly high chance of Twinrova since the masked girls with Ganondorf are canonically named Koume and Kotake
>decent chance of getting a sexy Zora
>maybe even another Impa

I've wanted a true hyrule warriors 2 for years.

I'm so tired of BoTW trash taking a valuable spot. My only cope is that nintendo realizes the normalfags are sick of it too and this will be the last tie in

>>721061362 (OP)
It actually makes me angry how hot TP Zelda looked in that game

>>721061362 (OP)
On one hand I really hope AoI flops so Nintendo moves on from that setting but I'm sure their take away will be that people just don't want any more Nintendo x Musou titles, the more they show how AoI is serious business and all canon the less I want to play it, I will skip the game, I like crazy full of fan service franchise celebration Musou.

>>721068639
>>721071806
Every time I see the character models in this game, my first reaction is always "these are the porn models."

HWDE already covered almost the entire series besides Capcom games
What's the point of another one?

>>721073925
When people play a good game they generally would like to have more of that good game.
Besides that we have no AoL or aLttP content.
There's always the benefit of more cute zelda girl models being released into the wild.

>>721062641
Peak tendie

>>721066847
They are. In tendies gloat about them because it has Zelda in its title. The same way they like Ubisoft Towers when they get rebranded as Nintendo towers.

>>721073839
Oh yeah! Crazy I never actually made that connection until now

>>721066472
I didn't ask specifically for that game but I did ask for another warriors game that wasn't dynasty warriors aka a muso with characters i give a shit about.

>>721067531
Still 30fps but at least its a rock solid 30fps now with zero dips. Hopefully it gets a 60fps patch one day.

Want muh Four Sword, want muh Oracles, want muh Phantom Hourglass, want muh Spirit Tracks, want muh LoZ, and I want my AoL. Until those are in we want get the best HW we can have. Throw in BOTW and TOTK shit too I guess.

>>721074827
It’s insane how in 2025 60fps is not just standard across the board. Why do retarded devs keep pushing for GRAFIX when they can’t even achieve a stable 60fps. Mind boggling

>>721069110
hit a nerve, eh?

Please, please make Mario or Kirby Warriors instead

>>721067310
I have the opposite feeling. I do like fanservice musous, but I like focused and historical musous more. Dynasty Warriors was at its best when it was about the key cast of the 3 Kingdoms instead of throwing in a million literal whos, non canon characters, and just straight up multiverse bullshit. No, I don't need to see Diaochan running around beating up Liu Bei with pom poms or whatever.

I think most will agree with me, since Dynasty Warriors Origins was the best selling one in the franchise (even moreso than 8).

>>721066472
>who asked for this
Normalfags are obsessed with botw/totk for some reason
it has gotten worse post-lockdown

>>721061362 (OP)
You literally only like it because she is hot. Please learn to care about gameplay.

>>721075262
I just want a (good) canon spinoff of BotW then I'll be set. AoC1 was supposed to be that an dwouldve been ludokino if it ended with everyone dying and Link going to sleep. Maybe with a secret ending of him waking up as in BotW to go full circle.

But nope, multiverse bullshit.

>>721074985
The switch 1 couldn't do 60ps even if it wanted to. Its amazing how well it sold despite the hardware being dogshit

So long as they downscale all the padding and fix the item-locked bosses' weakpoints, sure. But that ship has sailed and I wouldn't buy a Switch 2 to play it. BotWarriors did not appease me and neither does the sequel. There are plenty characters to use for two HW sequels.

>>721066472
>Link is nowhere to be seen
That is surprisingly one of the things this game is doing right. You don't need Link in every game, moreso since he wasn't in the past.

>>721076093
the hardware was already dated when it sold in 2017 lol

>>721074067
Too bouncy.
But hot NTR

>>721076278
That's why the zonai construct, that takes the place of link, is next to zelda

>>721074864
Didn't Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks get representation in some of the HW1 DLC? I thought it was just Zelda 1/2, OOS/OOA, MC, and FS/FSA that got shafted.

Regardless, yeah I would definitely prefer another traditional HW entry with fan service for the entire series rather than purely BOTW/TOTK. The character roster in the modern games is so thin they literally have to invent characters or turn NPCs into characters, it's bad.

>>721076837
Yes, that is why I said that. not-Link is fine and will have the same moveset he had in AoC so people won't cry about losing 'content' or not having that blank slate in the game in some form.

>>721076989
They got it through a challenge map and ST got a weapon, but I'd like a little more.

>>721076989
>turn NPCs into characters
HW1 did this at launch. The base game's roster was so weak and empty and odd at that.
>Agitha, a non-combatant before fucking Skull Kid, Tingle or even Tetra
>Darunia, Ruto but no Saria or a Deku stand-in when you had Wizzro, Cia and Volga as stand-ins for Wizzrobes, Beth and Volvagia respectively
>Zant was awful before the balance updates
>Lana had three weapons, more than Zelda and Ganondorf (Pic related summed up that entire shitshow)
>Only three games represented
>No Gerudo mobs or even Nabooru as an opposing force to Ganondorf that you could convince to ally with
The DLC barely saved it. Linkle was awful as a character and there were still a lot of holes unfilled. The 3DS port shouldn't have happened and the Switch Port should have been the actual sequel.

>>721077505
Turning notable NPCs into playable characters is fine. Agitha being a character is fine, people liked her and she was memorable.

That's not what I have a problem with. It's shit like AOI turning generic Korok #2373 into a character that's laughable. BOTW/TOTK have so few notable characters they literally have to invent them to fill out the roster. HW1 may have been OOT/TP/SS focused at launch, but at least those games had enough material to cover a full roster. And the DLC really fleshed it out and made the game solid fan service for most of the series.

>>721078496
>It's shit like AOI turning generic Korok #2373 into a character that's laughable
Okay, that I'll give you. Some people will cry about muh fun but that is a decent complaint when they have Hestu to use. On the other hand, adding him will make the "No Link" faggots scream holy hell, so there's not really much you can do about it. That alone speaks for itself in how weak BotW/TotK are in the character department. Every NPC you encounter has a name but they're one-note as hell.

>>721078496
>BOTW/TOTK have so few notable characters they literally have to invent them to fill out the roster.

I don't actually mind that they're making the past sages into actual characters now, might make a replay of TotK less excruciating if I know a little bit more about the sages (including Mineru).
I do have a problem with the fact that all the sages are basically going to be moveset clones of the botw sages though. They all use the same weapons, and have the same powers as their descendants, so I'm concerned KT will be even lazier than expected.

My biggest problem is that I do not give a shit about the Imprisoning War as a storyline, or Rauru and the goat fucker queen I can't remember the name of and I'm absolutely fucking sick of this version of Zelda.

>>721077505
Hyrule Warriors for the Wii U was a fun game and filled its role as "hack-n-slash."
You don't sound like you "played all the characters," you sound like you're whining you "didn't get to play as Malon."

>>721080108
>you sound like you're whining you "didn't get to play as Malon
I got to play as Marin, even better than Malon. You're projecting a lot and I wonder if you actually played the launch game, there were a lot of problems with it, most of them addressed. Zant and Ghirahim were originally unplayable and added at the last minute, hence Zant being so awful until they buffed him.
