There's a video on Youtube of only the major cutscenes and it's 4 hours long.
Oh that's too bad. The Tekken 7 story mode was only about 2 hours at most with all the fights too.
I said 4 hours of the major cutscenes. Gameplay included probably increases it by a large amount.

Got an early review copy and i am loving the story so far. Dub is fine for those wondering I've seldom heard an awkwardly delivered line.

I'm loving the easter eggs the most at the moment and 21 definitely has some mystery left to her character.

Best thing is in story mode you get unique pre match dialogue depending on your team. Krillin, yamcha and goku had one. Goku adult gohan and piccolo has one about fusion and now I've got vegeta and adult gohan to have one.

You also get unqiue dialogue if you fight a clone with that person on your team.

Also I'm sure some people will love that Japanese is the default option but I'm sure we'll hear lots of complaints about that.

Id say this is the best unique story weve got so far and its definitely longer than 4 hours. 4 hours may just be one arc and there are 3 arcs that you seperately select from the menu.

No, it's just Black's winning quote after fighting Freeza. :mrgreen:
You got a link to that?

It's funny that sometimes 18 interrupts 17 in their pre battle quotes
What? Was that Schemmel? And why the audio was so low? Damn, again this game suffers from the bad limp sync by the dub

Yeah. He was still using the British voice for Black at that point.

I'm shocked how good Freeza's replacement VA is in this game. If I didn't know it wasn't Chris Ayres, I would assume it was him.

I dare say this is the best dub Freeza has ever sounded.

I've just gotta step in here, especially given how you guys are getting on Bullza's ass for not having played FighterZ, but... you've clearly not played Xenoverse 2 yourself, and I'm actually a little annoyed nobody in here has actually bothered to correct you on this when you're objectively full of crap here. I'm kinda impressed by the hypocrisy, and not in a good way.
Even the AI in the story (starting around the fight against Coola and Freeza on Namek) is gonna smear you across the battlefield if you try to spam ults in XV2. It's literally programmed to punish you for using an unsafe ult, and pretty much any player is gonna immediately guard break you if you decide to just use them willy nilly. That's not even mentioning the fact that the person you're attacking doesn't even play Xenoverse 2 to begin with. I ain't gonna speak ill of FighterZ itself, but the elitism coming from fans of this game is disgustingly toxic.
You speak of hating elitism yet you're talking pretty elitist yourself. I bought the Collectors Edition of XV2 on launch. Since October 2016 I dropped over 100 hours in the game and got the platinum trophy. So please sit the hell down. That was an exaggeration but in my opinion it's what it boils down to, especially in the first game. I could go into the reasons I dont like the game which date back far before FZ was even announced but you clearly have no intention of listening. Nor is this the place for that conversation.

And yet another person using strawman arguments. I've barely even played FZ. DIsliking Xenoverse = being a fanboy of 2D/FighterZ? Since when?

Get over yourself.
Yes, I'm so much of an elitist that I pointed out a flaw in your statement. That's pretty funny given how your first assumption of someone who said they didn't like this game meant they must be a Xenoverse fanboy. In fact, can you please point out where I've said anything bad at all about FighterZ, since I'm such an elitist?
Tell me, what's so elitist about calling you out on something that was objectively incorrect? At what point did I deign it necessary to play one type of game or the other? Where I have spoken anything that reeks of elitism?

You keep talking about how it's a spammer game and how you hate it, yet you have the plat? Like I said, even the AI will guard break you after a certain point of progression of the story if you just sit there spamming ults, and proceed to beat you into the ground, and at least one trophy is gained from playing online... where players are much more likely to use it. The normal guard break or the burst dash with a second X button press will guard break and leave you helpless if you do an unsafe ult, not to mention the majority are fairly easy to avoid even if you don't choose that method of counter. A player with the platinum trophy would most certainly know this given that it's basic knowledge anyone who's played through at least the Freeza arc would know.
And on top of that, you've specifically singled out Xenoverse 2 repeatedly, a game that most definitely fixed the issue with SSJ Spammers, so don't give me any of that "especially the first game" crap. I find it funny how you seemed to ignore that entire argument.

Moreover, where did I say someone couldn't dislike Xenoverse? Where did I even remotely imply that disliking Xenoverse equates to them being a 2D fanboy? In fact, did I even use the term fanboy at all? That's quite a strawman argument of your own, given that I've played quite a number of 2D fighters I greatly enjoy (I'm actually quite fond of ArcSys' own Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, for instance). But it's not like attacking an argument that I never made is a strawman argument or anything, now is it? :roll:

Seems to me you're the one who needs to get over yourself and learn to listen to reason. Considering how much you spout things out as being a strawman argument, it's funny how you're coming off as being a scarecrow here. I called you out for telling a lie repeatedly about Xenoverse 2 and for using it as an excuse to attack another person (one who by their own admission doesn't have an interest in XV2 either), and stated that the elitism coming from this game's fanbase came off as toxic, and frankly your defensive behavior is adding credence to that.

But I'm gonna stop here before I anger the mods, if I haven't already, and I'd prefer to stop arguing in front of everyone else since it's probably beginning to annoy plenty of the people in this thread who want no part of a needless fight.

Yeah he is like 5% off here, not the best ever but a really good job. Freeza's death quote (when he faints in battle) strikes me as one of those few off lines.

These character themes are phenomenal. Having a character theme for each characters is something a Dragon Ball game has never done before despite being common in many other fighting games. It feels so good to have such a great soundtrack, I doubt there are any plans for an official release so I hope a gamerip pops up online.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

The cutscenes alone are a 4th of that.

Nope. Future Trunks also only appears as one of the "clones."

I assume it's just Adult Gohan as well, they don't try to finagle "Teen" Gohan in there as well?

I guess that's for the best. I kind of wanted to see Hit in story mode though, he could have been cool.
