Wo long and Nioh lore question

[vogelman198]

Is Wo long and Nioh 2 in the SAME universe? Could the Wo Long guy meet the Nioh 2 guy?

For example: ''could'' Wo Long be playing out in China while at the SAME time, Nioh 2 plays out in Japan?

[CSskullflame]

same universe is possible (but feels unlikely), same time period absolutely not. Wo Long starts during end of the Han dynasty (Wo Long starts in 184 AD) while Nioh 2 starts in the Sengoku Period (Nioh 2 starts in 1555 AD).

But what IF the Wo Long guy and the Nioh 2 guy play in the same time zone, COULD they meet if they traveled?

You Nioh, it happen a Wo Long time ago, so they could be Willaim's great grandpa.

[AFRO THUNDER]

It's plainly in the same universe. Magic evil crystals that are grown through widespread death, using said crystals turn you into crystalline abominations, divine beasts are JUST guardian spirits.

Nioh 2 happens almost 1500 years later, so no they can't meet in a any sensible way - besides underworld/abyss/etc. stuff where any constraints are off :p

Yeah, about that. Considering time travel and teleportation are a thing in Nioh 2, a lazy writer can throw the characters anywhere for any reason (or no reason at all) just because they feel like writing about it.

I'm sure one of the games DLCs will have a Hayabusa to curb stomp the players. Or maybe it'll be Ruys Chinese cousin who travels to the past to kill some chumps or whatever.

But what IF the Wo Long guy and the Nioh 2 guy play in the same time zone, COULD they meet if they traveled?

You should at least try dude.

I think he is trying to ask, "If someone in WL or Nioh time traveled, and they traveled from China to Japan or vice versa, could they meet."

In other words, if they were in the same time PERIOD (not time ZONE), would they be able to meet?
AKA: Are they in the same universe.
AKA: OP doesn't care if they take place in the same year, just whether they take place in the same universe.

going with others, wo long and nioh 2 happen in the same universe is possible.
but to meet i don't think so, since the time frame is really different (184 AD and 1555 AD).

but going with the 2nd question (skip the fact the the two games happened in different time frame):

personally i say, yes they could. but that's just my opinion/speculation.

Well, if we wanna dive into history, it's not "out of the question".

The Sohayamaru (7 branched sword), was historically gifted to Japan through Korea some time during the 4th century, but Koei has their interpretation of historical fictions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-Branched_Sword

For anyone who remembered Cao Cao's attempted assassination of Dong Zhuo from Romance of the 3 kingdoms, he supposedly used a "Seven Star sword" from Wang Yu that never made an appearance in Wo Long. (I could be wrong, but I don't recall seeing it in-game).

The first notable recorded interaction between Japan and China (Wei dynasty) was also recorded in the 3rd century during the 3 kingdoms era.

If you played Nioh 2's 3rd DLC, you would have access to "Ancient Set", of which Himiko was the owner.

One can infer a big brain lore move would be Cao Cao or his son gifts the sword to Himiko during the diplomatic mission(s) and eventually ends up in the hands of Suzuka in Nioh 2 (The First Samurai).

But yeah, let your brain process the info above and figure it out.

[Tiasmoon]

Wo Long mentions the Seven Star sword somewhere. I dont recall where.

Fufufu

Nioh 2's DLC did involved a whole lot of time travelling, so IMO, the two protagonists meeting, while highly improbable is not outright impossible (We don't know if Hide had any other time travelling adventures in between DLCs after all),

[D. Flame]

I wouldn't be surprised if William becomes a boss in Wo Long DLC. Pretty sure Nioh had Nyotengu and Hayabusa.
