Key foods

Dynasty Warriors: Origins makes a big change to the series by focusing on one character instead of a large roster.
Fans have been worried since this was confirmed, but producer Tomohiko Sho has explained why this was done.
According to Shaw, when the focus was so broad, the team was limited in what they could do with each character.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins producer and Omega Force supervisor Tomohiko Sho has addressed concerns about the game's smaller roster size compared to most of the original entries in the series.

If there's one thing the Dynasty Warriors series is known for, it's that it easily cuts through the gay crowd with flashy cinematic attacks. If there is the other What the series has made a name for itself is the almost endless number of spin-offs and spin-offs. OK, OK, if there is another one What Dynasty Warriors is known for, its massive roster is certainly that.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins's Producer on The Roster Size, the original hero and dream spin-offs

Tomohiko Shu walks us through Origins' new protagonist, his renewed focus on strategy, and his hopes for a potential sequel.

The last main game in the series, Dynasty Warriors 9, ended up with 94 playable characters, which included just about anyone you could think of. So, it came as a bit of a shock to fans that the latest entry, Dynasty Warriors: Origins, would tone things down considerably and focus on one main character.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins Lead Explains The Smaller Roster

Not counting the main hero, Dynasty Warriors: Origins has nine other playable characters that act as temporary summons that can change the tide of battle as they are defeated. Fans have been a little worried about such a big change, but I had the chance to speak with Origins producer and Omega Force boss Tomohiko Shu at a recent preview event to get an idea of why.

It's worth noting that Dynasty Warriors: Origins isn't a mainstream entry, and purposefully does things a little differently.

When asked about the size of the roster, Shu explained that Omega Force felt that the number of characters in Dynasty Warriors 9 limited what it could do for each of them. This time, instead of “expansion”, the team decided to focus on one character and make them as enjoyable as possible.

Dynasty Warriors is known for its huge roster, but because we have so many characters, we're kind of limited in what we can do for each character. With Dynasty Warriors 9, we had 94 characters. Instead of going wider, we really focus on this one character and make sure we can make that character enjoyable. – Tomohiko Shu

One of the ways Shue and the team have done this is by introducing RPG mechanics that allow you to choose how to level up your hero and expand his moves. I got a sneak peek at this during our preview, and it looks like there are plenty of character expansion options for players.
