"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[KentalSSJ6]

The Roshi glasses should be a reward for 100% completion of the game.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already but I saw someone point out that in this article it mentions "all" major races being playable (What the Hell does that mean?)
Also, it seems to mention online elements to the character creation mode: "he will be able to gather with other online players in the futuristic hub: Toki Toki City!"

Dragon Ball Online 2.0: Fighty fight game edition??

Yes all major races is dubious. Freeza's people are playable in DBH as are the Cell-type bio-androids, or at least one is, I don't know. If they make them playable they're gonna have to give some back-story with it because literally nothing is known about Freeza's people in the continuity that DBO and the manga went by, other than his father's 'clan' is the self proclaimed strongest in the galaxy.

Nothing else I can think of really strikes me as unique enough to warrant the time, like the Kaio-Shins, demons, random alien races, and then there are the 'weak' races like the Yardrat. Maybe it'll be something new we haven't seen before but have heard of like the metamors? Who knows, I could speculate for hours...

Very interesting to see the same characters of DBO in this game.
I think this Is the real future of what happens after DragonBall Z, and some things fit in DBGT/GTspecial And DBHeroes timeline.

[Saimaroimaru]

Ah a DBZ game the catches my interest. Maybe they are taking the story Toriyama wanted for DBO(which I hear got cancelled) and putting it into Xenoverse with some changes.

Guys what if that other character we got was another race. Since that other character looked a lot like whiss (sorry for the spelling) so maybe their is a god of destruction race. Let the speculations begin.

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

I'm not buying this game if everything requires online.

I've already said it for pages now. The silhouette is most likely either the Kaiojikan (World King of Time), or a new villain in the vein of Towa and Miira.
I can pretty much promise you it's not a Hakaishin race...that's a job title, not a species.

[enjyu123]

Lol, I just came back from a break, and was bombarded by all this good news, so I'm sorry I took credit for your idea, great minds think alike. Also what has me going is that they said more races to come so that has to at least more than 2 otherwise they should have just showed all the races in one go. Or I could be wrong.

DIMPS, never leave us again!!

Oh god, I love the girl with purple hair design and colors.
Wish that one was canon.

But It's hard to understand how some humans didn't get that the main red hair guy, was actually a custom character since the beginning.

Yeah it was really annoying seeing all the "SSJ GOD GOHAN/TRUNKS ZOMG"

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Yeah, smaller versions of the artworks had been up on Kanzenshuu's news article since a little after the initial posting yesterday.

The "Future Warrior" really looked like a custom character and I assumed he would be. I just wanted to wait until we got proper confirmation before it started getting tossed around as a fact, especially in the Kanzenshuu community. Factual statements and sources.

I kinda want to say the same, but I know for a fact that I will probably end up getting it anyway if that is the case... and this is including the fact that I have done the same for Battle of Z just to trade it in a month later after my friends and I agreed to give up after nearly 100 percent completion

Freeza's clan doesnt necessarly need a backstory. It could just be said that they are estranged branches that rule other sectors of space as Cooler's movie implied, then knowing Freeza, Cooler and King Cold died, their reign fell apart. The younger varients of Freezas race could just be left over freelancers that are neutrally alined. Though it would be cool if a villain were to use the time machine to go back to the point where Freeza was about to fight Super Saiyan Goku and try to double team him for a plot.


As for "The main races" thing I still think its probably implying the ones from DBO as opposed to what we would assume. I hope its not just limited to 4. Humans and sayians are basically the same. There should be more variety. I want to be an old school Saiyan-armour character like Tarble. Not a 1/8th blood decendent. I hope they dont exclude DBH content.

The online play just doesn't fit my needs as a gamer. It isn't my style, anyway. The online for Budokai 3 was fun, but that was ten years ago and I was a teenager. The online stuff just doesn't fit Dragon Ball. The main focus for developers should be always on single-player mode as you can gain more and more appeal as you develop the game and flesh out a bit more. Just bring elements that are more interesting, e.g. adventure RPG. It's why The Old Republic bombed big time, while the original series was a huge success.

[KentalSSJ6]

I wonder if the game will carry RPG elements like Budokai 3. If it does, maybe there will be stat changes depending on the race of your custom character.

[budokaifanatic007]

There was online in Budokai 3?

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

I wonder if the game will carry RPG elements like Budokai 3. If it does, maybe there will be stat changes depending on the race of your custom character.

I hope the games storymode plays out like a storymode and not like one long mission mode like Shin Budokai / BoZ. That would kill the entire thing for me.

[Ultimate_Nova_X]

I wonder if the game will carry RPG elements like Budokai 3. If it does, maybe there will be stat changes depending on the race of your custom character.

And I sincerely hope if there is, it's not as unforgiving as Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi was.

[Big Momma]

Budokai 3 didn't have online, but Tenkaichi 3 (on the Wii) did.

Still, I wouldn't say online doesn't suit a DB game. DB is a fighting series, and as such it's games are mostly battle-type games. Besides FPS/MMOS, online fits those types of games best.

[Hellspawn28]

Yeah the passwords hardly count as online. I do remember people had the most broke characters with their passwords .
