"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3" Official Discussion Thread

The Super Saiyan transformations are apparently on a timer in this game.

[ZeroNeonix]

Yep. People have been throwing a fit over it on Reddit. I don't feel that strongly about it. There will probably be ways to extend the timer too.

Either a skill tree or upgrading Stamina will allow you to have a longer timer

Those are on a timer and the super attacks have a cool down period; I'm not really sure how I feel about either to be honest. On one hand, it indeed limits the AI and other players from spamming everything into oblivion like what was happening in XV2, but on the other, is the actual combat good enough to carry the majority of fights ?

[comicstar100]

I couldn't tell you if I care about transformations being on a timer or not. Customizing the created character and living in the dragon ball world was always more what I enjoyed rather than online PVP. So something like being able to re color every piece of clothing is more important to me than if SSJ is on a timer.

Apparently there'll be more bodytype options for all races in Xenoverse 3 at least judging by the NPCs

The fact that they haven't announced any new races so far is annoying me.

They really haven't announced anything yet, at least nothing worth getting excited about. I get that it's only been 3 months since it was revealed, but I wish their marketing department would get their act together and show us something worth talking about.

I'm hoping for Beastmen, Androids and Glinds

The generic NPCs seem to be a pretty good indication of what we can do with the character creator this time. I haven't seen any Beastmen NPCs, but Glinds? Maybe. Hard to say right now. There's one NPC character I know of who appears to be a Glind, but she might be a unique NPC, not made with the character creator. Or they might have made a human, given her long ears, and called her a Glind. Androids would pretty much look the same as humans, so they're technically possible, but I think they're unlikely to be made a priority.

Do you guys think they'll add onto the lore the way DBO did? Like would XV3 explain why Frieza's race is on earth like DBO did with the Namekians and Yardrats? Would they explain what some of the characters that weren't in DBO's lore (like Yamcha) went on to do, or what happened to a few of the characters we're introduced to in DBS (like Cabba or Jiren)?

Now that I think about it, they could even make their own transformations for the other races that don't have many instead of relying on the anime to do it. That's what Heroes did too, right?

How would you guys feel if the OG cast weren't available at launch?

Do you mean Classic Dragon Ball?

I'd be disappointed but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised.

But the game's vibe gives follows the DB story subtlety:

Your Character (Goku) gets ran over by Bulma

Your Character (Goku) fights someone who resembles Yamcha - Brett

Your Character (Yamcha) chops off a rampaging Tap's (Goku's) tail

Maybe they'll incorporate the OG DB characters for the Soul mechanic? I think it'd be perfect

[Scsigs]

So, I saw the gameplay explanation video the other day. I'm not too excited about them incorporating gameplay elements of Breakers where you turn into other DB heroes, tbh. I own that game because I bought it on a HEAVY discount, but have no interest in playing it after watching some videos on it because it looks boring as fuck & poorly balanced in regards to difficulty, not helped by shit AI. Maybe they'll make the gameplay elements better in this game, but we'll see. Part of the appeal of Xenoverse is that you create an OC & do things like the characters int he shows & movies, not transform into them. Hoping this'll be completely optional.

I really meant what if this game mainly focused on you CaC and the usual roster isn't what we get. I know that sounds ridiculous but that soul change mechanic has a lot of people worried(I personally wouldn't mind).

[The Dark Knight]

They weren't available in the first two games, even with XV2 getting 10 years worth of support, so at this point I'd be completely shocked if they were in the game.

I've noticed that a few anime games with an original story end up being the same as their respective anime but with different steps, if that makes sense.
Like how Legends has you fight Raditz, then Vegeta, then Frieza (you get SS when you fight him), then all the versions of Cell (you get SS2 when you fight him), then all the versions of Buu, but how it's done is executed differently. I heard it's the same for One Piece Odyssey too, it does a few things different but the story is practically a retread of different anime arcs.

Decided to look a bit into XV3. Watched the West City trailer. Everything I see is the cringiest shit. I hate the Super Hero theme and how it just completely deviated from the Time Patroller path the last two games established. I don't like Bulma being a main focus instead of either an Original Character or Chronoa again. I hate what looks like the PC using Z-Souls to transform into Z-Fighters to use their move sets in a fight. Pretty much everything in these trailers so far that I've seen just makes me not give a single shit about this game. Using West City as the hub is so unbelievably lame and I hate the Super Hero Squad outfits. The whole theme is just absolute cringe.

For a while I had thought about reviving the Xenoverse 3 wishlist thread and compiling everything people had wanted and suggest, but it's clear how pointless that would be. Ban/Nam doesn't give a shit about what the fans want. I don't know if I'll ever pick up this game. If they support it for years after interest is dead like they did with Xenoverse 2, I'll likely never touch it unless it's on a massive discount sale on Steam. It just isn't worth it. I'm more invested and interested in older JRPG's. Like I just recent paid $10 for the Grandia HD Remaster on Steam and I'm having a ball, having not had the chance to play the original. I still have Grandia 2 on the PS2, which still works, so no need to buy the HD Remaster.

That's the sad thing about most modern games now. People would rather play older games that were good and interesting.

Do we know if there's any bonus to having an XV2 save file.

I was on xbox 1 but would buy on PC as I have a new gaming pc but no new consoles.

Nothing's been announced yet, though I wouldn't be surprised if they did that considering they did have that for XV2. It'd more than likely be in the same platform family, though, just like XV2.
