Pretty sure Namekians are named after slugs/snails with Piccolo being the exception.

I believe maybe not this game unless they get it perfect this time but it could be the greatest Dragon Ball game we have had so far. I love that it feels like a dragon ball legends/budokai mashup. I for one will be all over this game once it is out.

Piccolo Daimao and his mutated Namekians are all named after instruments. While every Namekian on Namik is named after a snail.

You didn't know that? I'm surprised, I thought there was a section explaining all names in Kanzenshuu, somewhere.
Plus the "KANZENBAN Notes" thread pretty much explaining all Namek names (among almost all other names) and how Namek are indeed more or less humanoid snails due to their morphology and behavior.

Anyway, "Snail" becoming "Nail" is probably the most obvious for English speakers, but hey, sometimes it's the most obvious things that we fail to see. :wink:

New Sergio video. Nothing really surprising in there, other than him thinking Sauza is in based on a ki blade description. We saw Vegetto use a ki blade in the trailer though, so it could belong to him.

So with the whole picking your masters and learning there moves thing being implemented in the game.
What kind of techniques are you hoping to learn and use for your created character.

Definitely some Mr. Satan moves, if he is confirmed.
Then maybe some Future Trunks moves?

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

I like Raditz's Ultimate. Not so much the move itself, but how badass the animation is. I want Vegeta's Fireworks thingy.

Yeah, and they seem to be pretty sloppy with the attack colours. Most of them are the all wrong, even attacks that were universally always done right. Vegito's beam sword is blue now & Neo-Tri Beam? Nappa's attacks are ALL Pink? Dimps needs to get it together. Its embarassing. Even Budokai 3 had most of the attack colours right.
Zephyr wrote:The fandom's collective fetishizing of "moments" is also ridiculous to me. No, not everyone needs a fucking "shine" moment. If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

So does anybody think we'll be seeing anymore items unique to customization? We've already got a few unique eye designs, hairstyles, and sets of clothing, but more is always nice.

So have they actually shown any new battle stages yet? I feel like I'm seeing the exact same one's again.

Someone mentioned Kng Kai's planet, that'd be different. Beerus' Planet, Heaven, Capsule Corporation (where BoG mostly took place), Baba's Palace, Orange Star High School, the Otherworld Tournament too. I don't recall them being done.

Please don't let it be like RB where you only had a few stages and most were baron wastelands.

I don't think it matters at all. For the most part, the techniques were black & white in the manga. I don't see why they should be constrained to the colours the anime chose for their ki attacks.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

True. They got the character models and shading down though. SS3 Goku hasn't looked that good since Budokai 3. But if they were going for the Anime look, they should at least be thorough with it. I'm not complaining though. If that's the only flaw, I'll take it. This is a must buy for me.

What they do need to fix... Win poses.
