"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[nato25]

I really hope that screenshot of Nappa vs the custom fighter is a playable stage. I have been waiting for an undestroyed city level for so freaking long! (In a 3D movement based game that is) I want to destroy the city myself for once!

[sintzu]

I knew this would be good but not this good

I really hope it gets the sales and reception that it deserves

[Blade]

Well, this suddenly got a whole lot more interesting!

This also pretty much confirms without doubt that they're regurgitating wholesale elements of Dragonball Online into this. Just hopefully not the gameplay!

[Big Momma]

Those screenshots look incredible. I'm so stoked now!

[Zenkashuu]

I'm curious now about their moveset, in UT you had to choose one of three body types. How will DIMPS approach this?

[Rosstifer25]

Just a thought, but the future warrior might not be a product of the character creator.

The statement says that you can make a character that is either an earthling, namekian or majin, but the future warrior is clearly a saiyan, so he could just be a new character that looks similar to Gohan

If we're going by the Dragonball Online work-around, then Super Saiyan can be achieved by Humans, as in the future Saiyan DNA has been widely distributed across Humanity by way of Goku and Vegeta's lineage.

They clearly said it I believe.

Players will have a wide variety of customization options including physical features from the Earthling, Majin, and Namekian races to name a few.

to name a few.

a few.

[Big Momma]

Saiyan will most likely be one of the other "few", but what else could there be? A Freeza-Type? Whatever race Cui belongs to?

Dragon Ball Heroes also has Freeza Clansmen & Artificial Humans (infinite energy type, absorption type, and Cell type), so they could add these as well.

Saiyans and Earthlings can easily be the same thing. Take potential tail and transformation options and turn them off? Earthling. Turn then on? Saiyan.

There are plenty of other races though, even discounting the Heroes based ones already suggested. Just using the original manga, Freeza had dozens of goons, Zarbon and Dodoria types, the Ginyu Special Force members, Dabra, Pui Pui,...I doubt their big alien scythe-frog will make the cut due to his body type though.

That's a good point. Now that you bring up tails, though...I hope that'll be an option available to us...

[KentalSSJ6]

My interest in this game blew up higher than a M80 in a firepit.

[Friggin_Krillin]

Indeed, after all those lousy Years. Character Creation how it should be. DB Online Bonds? Check, Interesting Story Gameplay? Check. Now i just need proper Information about the Character Variety.

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

As things are right now, this game looks great. Hopefully the gameplay is just as good as everything else, then this game will be up there with Tenkaichi 2, Budokai 3 and Super DBZ.

From the Dragon Ball Z - Games Facebook page:

Today, we're excited to announce that for the first time EVER in a Dragon Ball game, *Dragon Ball Xenoverse* will allow you to create your own custom character!
Players will have a wide variety of customization options including physical features from the Earthling, Majin, and Namekian races to name a few. Check out the new screenshots to see some customization in action!
We will have more exciting info to share about *Dragon Ball Xenoverse* in the coming weeks so stay tuned!

Holy crap they're getting the costumes right! Piccolo even has a round collar in his gi.

Is that a FEMALE Majin? ...... YAY!!!!
I get the character creation I was looking forward to so much in UT!! Now if Yamcha's a playable character and I get to either fight him or alongside him then this game is a DONE DEAL for me!

I'm going to make a female character and hopefully a male character too.

[miguelnuva1]

I wonder how many characters we can make now.

[Wobbuffet]

It looks like our old friend HFI_MM is back.

[dariend777]

Someone please tell me that they will have the Frost Demon Clan as a race. Definitely my favorite...it's because of the tails. They remind me of dinosaurs.

[Thanos]

I'm loving the fact that you're able to create races other than Saiyan, and use original clothes, instead of "creating" vague pastiches of other characters. There seems to be an actual story associated with your character, too, instead of all that 'MYSTERY WANDERER LOOKING FOR SOMETHING--WHAT IS IT? WHO KNOWS IT'S A MYSTERY' hokum. Dimps has really matured as a developer (having developed/co-developed a few triple A titles since it took an abeyance from the franchise) and that's quite apparent in the design of this game.

I've often thought that the elements from Dragon Ball Online were too good to let die off, especially considering the lore that Toriyama took the time to design. I'm kind of hoping we'll see actual story elements or characters from DBO featured in a sequel.
