Wait a minute, which games are included in Xenoverse's "XV"?

johnboy1 · Post by **johnboy1** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 2:16 pm

So, I read that the "XV" abbreviation of Xenoverse was chosen due to it being the fifteenth console fighting game since the franchise's resurrection with the first Budokai. If that's bullshit, feel free to tell me so. If not, then which 14 other games are being specified here? The Budokai, Tenkaichi, and Raging Blast games make eight. Then there's Ultimate Tenkaichi, Burst Limit, and Battle of Z. And... I can't think of anything else that fits.

Dragonball Z for Kinect, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo and Budokai HD Collection.

I'm fairly sure they aren't counting game that weren't released in Japan, so that rules out the Budokai HD Collection, Sagas and DBZ Kinect.

01. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai
02. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2
03. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3
04. Super Dragon Ball Z
05. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi
06. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2
07. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3
08. Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit
09. Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World
10. Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo
11. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast
12. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2
13. Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi
14. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z
15. Dragon Ball Xenoverse

Not saying I haven't missed it, but considering how much I read about this stuff...

I haven't seen any official confirmation of that being the reasoning for the name choice. No matter how you fudge it, you have to fudge it to get to 15 games.

And why would they care about starting up with Budokai when there were dozens of games before that? Yeah, it was the first after a four year break or so... but... so what?

Random coincidence (again, if you fudge it) as far as I can tell.

I honestly think it was mentioned in one of Bandai Namco's interviews with the French fanbase or something (though I don't think it was Nostal/Treevax), akin to the one seen here where they seemingly confirm his designing of the Time Kaioshin. Maybe I'm mistaking it though. I don't tend to follow along with these things unless it's Toriyama based information or roster numbers...

Yeah, I tried to do this with several variations and the only way you can hit 15 is with a lot of this.

I think it's the 15th Japanese-made game on Sony consoles, so:

1. Budokai 1
2. Budokai 2
3. Budokai 3
4. Shin Budokai
5. Shin Budokai 2
6. Tenkaichi
7. Tenkaichi 2
8. Tenkaichi 3
9. Burst Limit
10. Infinite World
11. Raging Blast
12. Raging Blast 2
13. Ultimate Tenkaichi
14. Battle of Z
15. Xenoverse

I didn't count Super DBZ since it started out on arcades. But then there's still Tenkaichi Tag Team...

EDIT: Apparently I can't read for shit today. TheDevilsCorpse's list matches perfectly.

Yeah, I understand that, but which 15? Even if you count the handhelds, Dimps has only made 11 DB games, so it's not just about their work. It has to include other games during that period, but the problem is that no arrangement would appear to meet sensible criteria and have exactly 15 titles.

Mine fits perfectly. 15 games released on consoles within Japan since Budokai 1.

I misread it, my bad. I fixed my post.

Except that one of them isn't a fighting game, which is supposedly the genre the "XV" refers to. Revenge of King Piccolo is a beat-em-up.

If you want to get technical, Xenoverse isn't a fighting game either. It's basically an Action RPG.

I assumed (or maybe read somewhere I can't remember) that it was also related to being released in 2015.

This thread makes me want fudge. This is unfortunate, for three reasons:

It is late, and stores are closed (plus I've already brushed my teeth).
The closest place with good fudge is in Tennoji, which requires 15 minutes on the subway or half an hour on a bike.
Fudge is more expensive here than back home.

Anyway, my personal thought about the reasoning for "XV" was that it was their home-console project for 2015, or MMXV. I never even considered any other reason.

I also considered that since it was releasing in 2015. This has me thinking: will XV 2 (or maybe XV II) release in 2017?
Funny coincidence: DBZ Movie 15 is also releasing in 2015
