CustomizationEdit

Dynasty Warriors 4Edit

Players can choose a name, gender, costume, and weapon for their character. Edit officers' avatars are always silhouetted instead of showing the officer. After the character has been created, players will not be able to alter the character's appearance or weapon.

There are five weapon types an edit character can wield: sword, spear, pike, great sword and rapier. Choosing a weapon will emulate a player character's moveset with the exception the great sword and rapier. The corresponding character moveset and weapon is listed below:

• Sword 1: Zhou Yu
• Sword 2: Cao Cao
• Sword 3: Sun Jian
• Sword 4: Sun Quan
• Sword 5: Liu Bei
• Sword 6: Dong Zhuo (Males only)
• Sword 7: Yuan Shao
• Sword 8: Huang Zhong
• Sword 9: Gan Ning
• Sword 10: Xiahou Yuan

• Spear 2: Ma Chao
• Spear 3: Jiang Wei

Customization in Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires is similar to how it is in Dynasty Warriors 4.

Requirements for unlocking them are done by completing certain objectives during Destiny Mode. The player can also choose from three different voice options: Calm, Passionate or Heroic. After creating a character, the game allows the player to change the character's clothes and its colour.

Dynasty Warriors 6Edit

In Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires, there is much more freedom of choice. Unlike the previous games, players are free to continue editing their characters after creating them. New options include:

• Face - Customizable hair, hair color, skin color, face shape, eyes, nose, mouth, and additional accessories (eye-patch, rose, facial hair, etc.).
• Body - Changes the body shape and build: tall/small, thin/stocky.
• Appearance - Changes armor/clothing. More become unlocked as the player progresses through the game and beats certain missions. Some are available as downloadable content.

• Voice - Changes the voice type and pitch. Examples include "Pure" and "Easygoing".
• Ability - Changes the stats of the character to preset standards such as "Offense", "Defense", "Quick", etc. Also has special move such as "Brace" and "True speed". This is also where the player may select the character's card, for use in Ruler Mode

Dynasty Warriors: OnlineEdit

In Dynasty Warriors: Online players can only use edit characters. Characters can switch between weapon movesets if they own the weapon. Customization options for characters are as follows:

• Head - The hair and eye colors can be chosen from a large color spectrum. The face and hairstyle can be chosen from premade options.
• Body - Four different options for males and females: small, normal, tall, large.
• Voice - Separated into two different categories such as "warrior" and personality such as "brave".
• Appearance is based on the gear players earn for their characters. Armor can be dyed to become a differnt color.
• Stats are heavily based on the player's weapon. Each weapon type has different strengths and weaknesses. Other factors that affect stats are items, commanding generals, and gear. Serving under a commanding general grants a stat bonus and domestic skill bonus so long as the player stays loyal.
• Characters can also have passive abilities called Domestic skills. These skills range from the merchant discounts to the quality of weapons, gear, and items found on the battlefield.
• Players can own a personal house where weapons, gear, items, and furniture can be stored. Players can upgrade this house and buy furniture using real world currency.
• Items known as Spirit allows any players can to gain the complete orginal moveset of any playable character from Dynasty Warriors 5. These are gained by defeating the orginal character under certain special conditions.

Character SymbolismEdit

Since the big sword and rapier are the same movesets for Fu Xi and Nu Wa, their names are also identical in each of their game appearances.

For the sword users in Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends, their weapons are named after the wind. The level 7 through 11 weapon names implies they can soar through the sky. An alternative meaning is the same as their English counterparts. Spear users are endowed with the power of a vacuum. Halberds have a naming motif for destroying the heavens.

The new weapons in Dynasty Warriors Online each have unique naming motifs as well. The long cudgels are after whirlwinds and wind gods. Battle disks invoke the image of the earth shaking and quaking, including the sky and seas. Whips follow a serpent and aquatic theme. Its second ranked weapon is named after White Snake, an entity said to have been a water god of fortune. Black Tortoise, which is encircled by a snake, forms the namesake of the third. The whips' higher ranked weapons are named after a legendary river god, Jiaolong.
