I was watching The Last Samurai again for the "X"th time and at the end of ninja attack scene the show numerous samurai dispatching the last ninjas and Ujio yells something in Japanese which translates to "None must escape." It would be great if there could be some lines said during executions like that. For example, Orochi the jumping downward beheading when he lands yells in Japanese "none must escape." Or something to that extent for all heroes and factions. Just a thought.
The heroes all had voices in the story mode and now when you fight online all you hear is the cent and highlander yelling at a start of a move. Since the executions are now very customizable add voices to the mix. Make them purchable even so Ubi can make something off them. I got over a 100k steel and would like something to spend it on....and while your at it how about a simple quick execution for Aramusha. None of this baton twirling jazz. Just a simple stab with one blade, pulls it out and beheading. Like how Algren does as he finishes off the last modern dressed samurai towards the end of the film, he is holding two blades as well. Quick and to the point so I don't take 3 hits while performing it. We need quicker and shorter executions.
What I think would be pretty nice is some war screaming, which you can pull off while standing AND running or even while hitting. Of course this would need a cool down, but as you said, most of the so called battles to death take place like sword fights between mutes.
There would be nothing cooler than running with my zerker towards an enemy and 10 meters before him I start screaming like hell right before I launch myself into the air, rising my two axes and burying these into his shoulders.
Edit: and yeah, this would be kinda way to violent, but sometimes I wish, the executed opponents wouldn't accept their fate without even saying "dayum" xD
