That's what happens when you have to dub from a direct English translation. You don't have the freedom to re-write the script to have the English voices match the movements of the lips of the characters you're dubbing over. Hence, you get shitty lip syncing.
Fans really don't understand how hard it is to stay true to the text, and having the lip-sync match up. Since Funi doesn't get as many liabilities with the games compared to the anime, this was doom to happen. On the bright side, Trunks' voice sounds better this time around. I don't know what happened to Eric in the first game. Then again, the dub of Xenoverse had a lot of strange errors and typos.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Loved the opening scene! Well, actually everything they could've done but without "Cha-la Head Cha-la" would've been better, I'm really sick of that song. And I like The Sims' one.

That "flying license" in order to fly... So much Dragon Ball Online feelings. :clap:

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding but does this mean that our character will instead just be default Time Patroller?

Nope. It will be the TP you select from the first game.
Dragon Ball /Z/GT/Super is a children's show and there's nothing wrong with that.

So, now I'm confused. Why would the page say that the appearance won't carry over then?
If I transfer a character, it will be my character and not the default right? Sorry for not understanding too well

It is saying that some items that the character is wearing may not be transferred over. It's only a message to warn people in case when it transfers the clothing item they had on is missing. I don't think it has to do with the exact character the person in the video was transferring just a general message.

I personally don't see what the big deal is. No matter how good or well made an intro is, eventually you press a button to skip it and go straight to the game. I can't remember that last time I watched the Xenoverse intro.

I watched it when it was posted on Youtube prior to release and never laid eyes on it again. Lmao it will be the same for this game's intro too.

Regarding the Opening.

Vale's Trunks seems a lot worse then Kai or is it me? Well worse in terms of that gruffness to his voice.

That is great but I just hope we get more than just the Apes to fight these battles against. Also it would be better if in the mind controlled world the clone you was just as strong with at least half the health to make it a bit more intense. Gradual steps I guess.

We already know that we are, we're getting bosses like Broly and Slug.

I'm pretty sure that doing that would change this from being a neat mechanic, to a much bigger chore.

The Wasteland-stage looks better compared to the one in the first game, but it is still a boring place to fight those giant bosses imo :/

You assume that's the only stage they'll be fought on?

Yeah, Vale's Future Trunks in Kai was too damn raspy. He actually sounded better in the original dub of Z.

I mean in terms of the giant characters in the series. I should have elaborated a bit more on that because I knew of the other ones too. I mean for us to have one of Hirudegarn or however you spell it for example.

I have recently seen the Introduction Video to Xenoverse 2.

It was an okay opening sequence- sadly no musical theme to it. I was kinda hoping for Chouzetsu★Dynamic but--- eh it's better than of nothing. At least there's no Chala-Head-Chala again, it was getting a little annoying in my honest opinion.
See - Life is like a ball.

It will keep rolling in time and bounce with excitement. Until, that ball will be flat. You will be weak.

But, don't fret. At time, the ball won't be flat anymore. It'll be round and strong. You, and I mean you, will be strong once again.

PROBABLY NOT ON HIATUS AGAIN BUT WHO KNOWS?

Yeah, thing is that I am always not here and it’s saddening to me. Seriously. I just want to make some great topics and such, yes?
