Warriors Orochi 2/Dream Mode

Known as "Dramatic Mode" in the Japanese version, this mode offers a set of scenarios different from the ones offered in Story Mode. Stages are unlocked when certain criteria are met and the required characters have been obtained. Preset teams for each scenario are often linked in some way. Aside from experiencing unique stories, completing all of these stages unlocks Orochi X.

Musou Orochi Z adds 12 new scenarios in Dream Mode that prominently focus on characters original to the series. Another exclusive feature is the ability to customize teams after clearing a stage once. Also, more than half of the unlock requirements have been altered for the player's benefit. These changes (except for the team selection feature) have been included in the localized PSP port of Warriors Orochi 2.
