That sounds like a very dangerous road to go down, make it sound like we'll not only have to stop Towa's puppets from destroying history but, for those who are part of the time line, we'll have have to try and break Towa's spell before it kills them.
We're killing them anyway, so...
Well for guys like Broly yeah but what about Yamcha and any other heroes? Even though some, like Yamcha, don't play a big role in events (after the saiyan saga) every change in the timeline has a ripple effect and gives our villains what they want. Even the villains need to dye in a way that allows history to be fixed.

We cant go slaughtering at random or letting people on a whim or we are just as bad as Towa and Mira.

I've compiled all the new information and screenshots plus english trailer we got in an article, not just for you guys obviously but I think it would be most appreciated here.

Also theres a story mission with zarbon and dodoria on IGN. It has a little bit of cutscene as well and Vegeta is wearing the correct outfit which is nice.

Oh yeah, forgot about Yamcha.

Gah... why does Eric Vale sound so bored in that dubbed trailer? In contrast to the Japanese performance, where Trunks's voice actor sounded super enthusiastic when talking about the Time Patrollers, Eric Vale's performance in that bit made me want to fall asleep. It sucks because we all know he can do better than that as we saw in stuff like Kai.

I think it's intentional because Trunks in-universe is literally shooting a commercial.

Exactly what I was thinking, his acting like he is an infomercial.

The Funi cast always sounds bored nowadays, it's probably just burnout.

They really don't, though. BOG sounded fine, don't know about RF. XV also sounded fine.

I'm referring more to side-products, like advertisements and video games.

Not the acting, but regarding the Buu portion of the story in the first game, I felt it was very unnecessary since they didn't really do anything with it. The end of the game more than made up for it in my opinion, but my point is that I hope XV2 has an interesting plot through the entirety of the game, rather than dropping in quality, even just briefly.

Well, for some of the ads at least, there's probably a pretty quick turn-around to get them out, especially with this latest trailer. The Japanese version of it came out like, what, a few days ago I think? They probably crunched this out pretty quick.

Eric Vale's kind of an odd case anymore though anyway. I do think he's trying to sound infomercial-ey right there, but in general his Trunks isn't one of those that's improved in the recent years like everyone else's voices have. It's weird, it feels like his voice itself was way better in the old DBZ dub, but the acting behind it is way better now, it's a really weird trade-off.

Anyway, I should hopefully actually have access to a PS4 by the time this comes out, so I might yet actually get to play this when it first comes out. Banzai!

I don't remember where, but I remember Sabat saying somewhere that they were done dubbing XV2. Now, obviously that wouldn't include trailers that are just being cut, but that animation at the start of the TGS trailer was stated to be the game's opening. That probably should have been done by now, unless the animation was just finished. Even if that's the case, whatever they were going for, that segment should be given some extra care because it'll be sticking around for the finished product.

Yeah, XV just wasn't that great in its localization. The script had typos everywhere and, while I play in Japanese, all the dub sections I heard of XV were pretty mediocre. Vale's Trunks was especially bad.

Wow, wouldn't have thought they were done dubbing it already. When's the game coming out again? I didn't think they'd be anywhere near done enough with it to finish recording yet - then again, I'm not sure how far along to being finished games generally are before they're recorded for anyway.

Slightly off topic, but whoa, you're a mod now TheDevilsCorpse? :shock: Sweet. Definitely been some changes around here while I was MIA seems like.

Unfortunately the typos wont be going away in Xenoverse 2. One of the new screenshots has some terrible mistakes.

The 2nd page of the milk delivery quest info reads You can press x when a step lands to move faster, but of get your timing wrong you could end up crashing into something or falling from up high, thereby failing the exercise.

Come on guys at least read through the thing once that's a pretty big error. At least I can understand what they're trying to say I guess.

A couple months ago, Mr. Schemmel said they've been done for months. Also, October 25th (or 28th for PC).

...I've been keeping up with the game from afar, and somehow that date still managed to escape my memory. Oh geez. :shock: I'm going to have to get some money together to do my pre-order soon.
