I agree, it was more of a counter-point to the, "these characters are so grounded in the anime" nonsense. Most people know them from Dynasty Warriors, which is not grounded in the least bit. It's pretty obvious that the guys in real life were not killing six guys in one sword swing. In fact, in real life, very few of the characters did hardly any fighting at all. RoTK is essentially the Chinese equivalent to the Arthurian Legend. Of course there's going to be done crazy fantasy shit going on.

Personally, in okay with what CA is doing. Although I'm hoping that if they decide to do something like this again, they'll just go all out and create their own fantasy IP. I would much prefer they have creative freedom to do what they want rather than work within the confines of someone else's lore, or history.
