So I got the latest DLC pack on PC, and I'm noticing that most of Rose Black's non-scripted battle sounds are his Japanese voice rather than his English one. Anyone else seeing this?

If they actually have some kind of 'God' form in mind for other races like a lot of people speculate, I'm kind of wondering if it won't be story related somehow. Like, the next story DLC is basically Fuu showing up, nobody can beat him, but your CAC manages to just barely stave him off for the time being (leading into XV3) by achieving Super Saiyan Blue/whatever the other races get. Just a theory anyway.

Also, wait, you can wish to go up a level more than twice? I thought that was why we had 'I want to grow stronger' and 'I want to grow even stronger' or whatever was because you can only do it twice?

Extra pack is out for PC....and I'm for once ignoring it. I don't care to buy it right now. Doesn't seem worth it. Maybe later when the second part comes out.

I still hold it that the most most disappointing aspect of the CaC transformations in Xenoverse are how we get them. I know people don't like stuff being gated behind story, but I really feel the first time of CaC transforms should be cinematic story event.

Yeah, they really dropped the ball on that one.

And that's something I suggested for Xenoverse 3 in my wishlist thread. Transformations should be more story driven and have options in how you acquire them.

Like for Namekians, when being put against such powerful foes in the Story, need to break their limits to grow stronger and compete with those whose transformations keep putting the Namekian at a huge disadvantage. This leads him on a mission to New Namek in order to learn or acquire what he needs to become stronger in order to keep up with the rest of these beings. The Namekian will have two options in how he acquires his upgraded state.

Method 1: The Namekian is put through a trial of combat, engaging other warriors in an endless series of bouts without rest while his health slowly depletes. He must be pushed to the breaking point and push passed it in order to place his hand on that mental door barring him from going beyond himself. Once this is done and the Namekian succeeds, the current Grand Elder and other Elders will perform the power up ritual used to unlock a persons hidden potential, resulting in the Namekian's transcended state.

Which appearance does not change, abilities are increased when in this state. Much like they were for Piccolo in the Budokai games. Remember those? Back when Piccolo -DID- have a transformation to raise his stats and ki bars?

Method 2: The Namekian decides to prove his strength to his people and asks if one is willing to perform the Namekian merger with him in order to break his limits. After defeating several strong Namekian Warriors, one after another, they decide the Namekian is worthy of such and a randomly generated Namekian Warrior will step forward to allow himself to be fused into the Player Namekian to unlocked the Upgraded state.

While the method is different, the result is effectively the same and can be used to have one of these focus more on Melee combat benefits and the other method giving Blast/Ki benefits to stats, like how Super Saiyan and Super Vegeta forms work.

Nope you can wish "I want to grow" and "i want to grow more" as many times as you want as long as it doesnt hit your gap.

like "I want to grow more" brings you 3 lvls, but you can use it if you're lvl 94 since the current cap is 95. you'd have to use the wish for 1 level for before you can wish for 3 again.

(That's my plan at least, no way in hell am I grinding 50 million exp.)

I for one hope that "FUU" code is for Fit Buu and not THE Fuu. It's way too damn soon for Fuu to show up, especially since he's only an infant in the current timeline. Maybe a spy relative of Towa can be a DLC character, just to add to the buildup of a potential plot for XV3.

How do you know that? Dragon Ball Xenoverse is not Dragon Ball Online, there's no reason to think Fuu is a baby if he wasn't even mentioned at all. We don't know how and if Dimps will handle his character, but certainly in order to fit him in, things will be as different as possible.

No, R17 is a separate character with a unique melee combo set. The paid characters are going to be Jiren, UI Goku, Ranger 17 and Fu.

Not to mention that it's a story about TIME TRAVEL, so even if he is a baby right now the Fu that shows up could be from the future coming back to get revenge.
Anyways, people need to remember that we are confirmed to be getting a "new original character", if the other 3 are Jiren, UI Goku and Ranger 17 then FUU is the new one and the listing being FUU along with the fact that he has the same demonic aura as Towa and Mira means he is almost definitely Fu.

Ranger 17 being a separate character would be weird, but we already have 2 Future Trunks so no skin off my bones. Also, the aspect of Blue for CaC's is pretty interesting. I know it's not gonna happen, but if they do think about giving the other races god forms I think there could be some candidates...
  • Namekians could get the Red-Eye form since that's considered a god form in Heroes.
  • Earthlings could probably get either Super Human from DBO/DBS or Krillin's No-Ego Zone.
  • Changelings already have Gold Form, so maybe they could get either the Angered Gold (bloodshot eyes and veins) or True Gold (slight red/blue aura)
  • Majins are hard to figure out since they really only have Pure, so I was thinking either Absorption or that weird color change Buu's kids do (red/blue/yellow)
This is all pipedream though, pretty sure we're just getting Blue.

Maybe it's not SSB, but just that God forms for all the races are blue; any any race that allows hair has that turn blue as well.

Yeah, Ranger 17 is a separate character listing, so unless he's a costume that they redid animations for like Awoken Hit then he's a separate character.

I don't think we'll see any of the God Class upgrades from Heroes, they already said they don't want to take things from Heroes.

While that is somewhat tru-ish, the Red-Eye form actually originated from Dragon Ball Online's opening. I mean, if they are gonna bring Fuu into Xenoverse, might as well bring a bit more obscure DBO lore as well.
