Which musou (dynasty warriors, samurai Warriors games) games actually has a story mode instead of one for every team?

(excluding spinoffs like hyrule Warriors and fire Emblem and one piece pirate warriors)

with those restrictions, probably none of them. maybe the early ones, i don't know. i've only played the zelda and fire emblem ones.

i had google try to find a game in this franchise with a one man/team story mode; it's ai gave me this:
"If you want a true "one guy's story" experience, go for DW2, DW3, DW5, or DW6. If you want to play the main story with a friend, DW8 is a great choice for its co-op, even if it's kingdom-centric. For something different, try Origins."

You mean like one single story mode? Musou games don't really work that way, but technically the One Piece Pirate Warriors games have a single "true" story mode (which follows the canon of One Piece), and I think Dynasty Warriors Origins trimmed down the campaign into something more resembling a single-player action-RPG. But I haven't played it. I think the Dragon Quest Heroes games are also like that.

DW5 and its XL

i think Origins is that way.

but i can be wrong

you excluded the spin-offs like one piece, but i will mention another one that is "one linear story only": Arslan Senki - the game which is never at sales

there's also a very good Berserk game in PS2/Dreamcast

Warriors: Legends of Troy has a story mode that works like that. During the main game, you switch off playing as characters from both sides of the Trojan War. It's a spinoff, but that's what you're going to get if that's what you're looking for.
