Samurai Warriors 4-II: The Turning Point

Video of battle 3 - Battle of Kyuushuu - for Mitsunari's campaign...



Yeah, for this battle I paired Mitsunari with Takakage (again xp) because he's available in the list of characters playable for the battle. In SW4-II Takakage also has his own campaign, but I think I'll need to play and finish Nobunaga Oda's campaign first before I can unlock Takakage's... (if I don't read the kanji wrong, that is ^^;)

Anyway, the following is the movie after winning Battle of Kyuushuu...



Since it's an important scene, I guess I'll explain a bit about the dialogues... So, after Battle of Kyuushuu, Mitsunari told Kiyomasa to go to Kyuushuu while Masanori to go to Shikoku... Prior to the battle, Hideyoshi actually asked Mitsunari if he wanted to be a prefect somewhere but Mitsunari refused and suggested for Kiyomasa and Masanori, instead. In the movie above, Mitsunari also stated that with such arrangement, it's supposed to hinder Ieyasu (Tokugawa) from gaining enough power to usurp the supreme ruler position (which by right belongs to Hideyoshi Toyotomi). Masanori hit Mitsunari shouting why he (Mitsunari) is always like that - always make decision by himself... Does Mitsunari not trust him and Kiyomasa...?! Then Kiyomasa said that on what reason Mitsunari thinks that he (Kiyomasa) and Masanori want to harm Toyotomi clan... Everybody is working together to protect Toyotomi clan... Including Ieyasu too... Mitsunari then snapped at Kiyomasa saying that he refused to be associated with Ieyasu... If he ever had to be associated with Ieyasu, he'd rather supporting Toyotomi clan all by himself. Kiyomasa then said fine, he and Masanori have their own way to show support to Toyotomi; and if Mitsunari ever gets in their way in the future, they shall not let him off... 

In SW4-II, Mitsunari's real thoughts and feelings aren't being showed much because they are already revealed in SW4... So, if you ever think about picking up this game, you should get SW4 as well... Because these two games complete each other.

For me, personally, I'd like it better if the game maker and producer put the focus more on the Gi Trio (Mitsunari, Kanetsugu and Yukimura) like in SW2... But I guess ever since they made Kiyomasa and Masanori playable in SW3 - and both became Mitsunari's childhood friends - they still want to emphasize on the dramatic situation of friendship falling apart (and brotherhood falling apart for Yukimura and Nobuyuki). 

The movie can be said as a prelude to battle 4... which I'll upload later or tomorrow...
