Dynasty Warriors fits all of the criteria above and make no mistake, the warriors series is immensely popular in Japan so there won't be a problem with popularity, weapons, or movelists. So yeah, anyone up for some Dynasty Calibur? ^_^
The problem with that is Tecmo/Koei owns that franchise and they already have Dead or Alive (DOA) to play with. You probably would see Dynasty Warriors in that game before you ever see it in Soul Calibur. Ever since the two companies merged, now you're seeing IP crossovers as seen in Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma. Dynasty Warrior content was in that game. But then again, who knows... frankly I like to see Soul series improve gameplay elements and new fighting styles/weapons than guest characters. Also maybe come up with a new storyline rather than rehashing the same story about poking Soul Edge in the eye for like nth time, breaking Soul Calibur or seeing yet another battle between Siegfried and Nightmare. Then again, the moniker for the game is "... a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold, and told, and told, and told......"
