WO blather- So I only have the following characters left to unlock:

Motochika Chosokabe (that guitar guy)- Battle of Liang Province
Yoshimoto Imagawa (the prissy kick ball guy)- Battle of Liang Province
Pang Tong- Battle of Komaki-Nagakute
Gan Ning- Battle of Mikatagahara
Kiyomori Taira- Get true ending
Nezha- Get true ending
Orochi X- Get true ending
Susano'o- Get true ending

I just unlocked the Battle of Komaki-Nagakute, and I just have to raise the bonds between Lu Meng, Lian Shi and Masanori to unlock Mikatagahara for play. But weird, I thought I already unlocked all the stages that only required you to raise the bonds between two characters, and Liang Province is unlocked when you increase the bond between just Liu Shan and Guan Suo. I didn't see that in the stage list though, maybe I hadn't gotten it on there yet. I mean, I haven't played Liu Shan or Guan Suo yet, and thus would not have had the convo at camp to make the stage available to be unlocked. I'll have to see what's up with that.

Again, DW7: XL is screwing me up, because I had more than enough money to know what to do with there, and right now I'm just low on cash in the game. Those lottery tickets you get are a definite godsend though, because that has given me the 4th/big star weapons for many characters without having to fork over the cash.

Did finally try Nu Wa out. As i said, I haven't played her in a long time, since DW3 or 4, as I don't think she or Fu Xi were int the first WO (they might have been in the second). and I was wrong, her moveset is not the same as that "lightning sword" DLC weapon in DW7. Not that its not any less powerful. I can see how she ranks high.

TV commentary:

Pretty Little Liars- Wow, Byron is kinda an effin a-hole! I mean, we get a flashback where Ali and Aria trash his office because Ali apprarently tricked Aria into thinking her dad was still having an affair even though he told Aria he ended it. And, they blamed it on the chick he was screwing around with, and of course, he blew up at her at the time. So anyways, Aria is forced to disclose the whole thing, and her dad makes her apologize to Meredith. Who the hell tells their daughter to friggin apologize to the woman they're having an affair with?!

Had dinner with the usual suspects at West Egg Diner. The last time I was there, they weren't opened for dinner, but apparently they have been for a long time, and was totally unaware.

WO blather- Ah, finally unlocked every character (not unlocked via the endings). So I've started working on getting special items. Thankfully, the unlock methods are simple enough- just have a certain character in your party in a certain level on at least hard difficulty and get X number of kills (anywhere between 1000-2000). And the character doesn't have to get any of the kills, they just need to be on your team. However, I don't feel I'm at a sufficient safe level right now, so I'll need to do a little leveling up.

I mean, I got the Pleiades Belt (which increases the quality of the weapon drops), which was on a 5 star (out of 10) stage. It wasn't hard per see (I was more worried about the power going out whilst playing due to the thunder storm earlier, but I managed to finish it before the power did end up going out), but there was definite risk. Rushing into a crowd of peons, I was carving through them like wheat, but they were getting their licks in also, which whittled down my life bar far faster than I expected. So if I didn't pay attention I could bite it (I almost did once, I had like a sliver of health left, so I was able to quick switch to someone else). So even though you don't need to use the character needed to get the item, neither can you just rely one other character to get the job done, but I suppose that's why you get 3. Also, absorption is a must! Getting health back from attacking is definitely tres useful in the higher difficulties.
