1. Introduction
----------------------

I finally decided to make a guide about the different cutscenes in the Dynasty
Warriors games. I personally take great interest in finding all the cutscenes
and I noticed no one had made one for DW5XL. Hopefully you will find it
informative and helpful.

Please contact me if you you find any errors or if you have any contributions
(contact information at the end of the guide)


-----------------------
2. The events
-----------------------

I have personally tested all the cutscenes and the way I have described to get
them has worked. There may of course be other triggers or triggers that I have
presumed were there. Some of the cutscenes can be triggered regardless of who
you're playing as, but I have not tested the stages with characters other than
the recommended ones. Mabey I will if I suddenly get alot of time on my hands
or by request.

This guide will only contain events that trigger cutscenes. This means that
events of the type "Pang De arrives as reinforcements" won't be found in this
guide (unless of course, Pang De's arrival was accompanied by a cutscene). Also
standard cutscenes will not be covered. By standard cutscenes I mean the intro
scene where you see the territory you are fighting in, officers going into
hyper-mode, officer retreats etc.

The names I have given to the cutscenes are taken from the top of my head.
Feel free to come with name suggestions if you have better alternatives

-----------------------
3. Events I've missed
-----------------------

All the events described in this guide are self-found. That means that I
probably don't have all of them. In this section I will "discuss" the events I 
believe I have missed.

I remember having gotten a cutscene with Diao Chan and Lu Bu while playing as
Diao Chan, but I can't remember how I got it. I think it happened after Cao Cao
arrived and that Lu Bu somehow came to your rescue, but I'm not quite sure.

Others that might be there:
Jiang Wei at Mt. Qi
Lu Bu at Battle of Yan Province

There may of course be more as well. If you know about any, or even if you have
a theory of how to get one, please let me know.
