Nah man you got it backwards. Didn't 7 introduce weapon switching? 8 is the one where every character had a unique moveset. And like, you don't have to use other characters' weapons if you don't want to. Unless a character has a legitimately awful moveset like Lianshi or Yuan Shao that is.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong then but 7/XL/E definitely had unique movesets. It introduced a bunch of new characters like Sima Shi with their own unique weapons. I remember really liking 7E because Xu Shu was incredibly fun. I might buy DW8XL on PSN since I don't think I ever played it and I'm really missing a DW game.

I know 7 made me like using Zhou Yu way less than I did before and he was my favorite character in 4 and 5. His change to a Bo Staff in 6 was iffy but I still found it fun but 7 and on I had more fun using Sima Shi and a bunch of other characters. Cao Pi's moveset in 6E was also sick. I'm sad it only lasted one game. The dual sword moveset was such a downgrade, even compared to 5's.
