"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

Perhaps they gather Kiri in a attempt to gather enough to travel to Toki Toki city and kill the Toki Toki bird and Kaiojikai? If they wanna end the universe, I think offing those two would do the trick.

So are great apes playable/ available to CaC as transformations ? I'm not expecting multiple great ape models or anything like that but would be cool if you could transform if you had a tail.

I think that was explained via interview when someone asked if forms beyond SSJ1 would be available for Saiyans. SSJ2 and 3 are coming but 4 will not because it requires becoming a Super Oozaru and theres no intention to have them playable. So unless it comes later as DLC, Oozaru characters are not playable and will serve as giant boss battles.

The latest interview with Nostal (if I remember correctly) bluntly said no transformations beyond SS for customs. Which was released after people kept saying they weren't interpreting the previous interview answer wrong.

Anyway, glad to have a question answered about the Time Passport, which is now a Time Scroll. Though, the translation on the details for this leaves me with more questions than answers...

I thought they said SSJ2 and 3 were confirmed and it was 4 that would be unavailable. Anyone got the link to throw up real quick?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Nevermind, it wasn't Treevax, it was db-z.com.

Rough clean up translation from the more interesting bits:

What was Akira Toriyama's the involvement on the game?
He oversaw the scenario of story mode, as well as the designd of new characters, such as the Time Kaioshin.

Will the Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta DLC available for pre-orders be downloadable later?
You must consider that it won't. It is important to pre-order the game if you want this character.

Will there be races other than those presented so far, such as the Cyborgs?
"For now", it is not expected.

Will the custom Saiyan avatars transform beyond the Super Saiyan 1?
No.

Will there be other cities to explore, outside Toki Toki City?
Everything is focused on Toki Toki City, but the city is very rich and allows you to visit "other places."

Will fusions be possible?
It was our wish at the start, but was ultimately not possible.

Can you tell us whether the number of characters will be 2 or 3 digits?
Double digits, but the multitude of characters you can create enriches the list.

[KentalSSJ6]

Well then, Mystic route it is.

[dbboxkaifan]

Yes, it's too bad they're also going to allow those of us who can't afford the newest systems right off the bat to play the game. Oh wait - that's a good thing, if you ask me.

New? They're not even new any more. They are current-gen consoles.

Besides that, if the game's going to feel like it's underpowered on PS4/PC/XO then we'll know it was due to Dimps also developing for the last-gen consoles. Bandai Namco could've hired another team to make the last-gen version but considering this isn't a A+/Nintendo they don't have the luxury.

Hopefully Dimps will ace it.

Ah, sorry, it was already posted!
I just have a hard time to find any news on these message boards with so much discussions going on around :/

I was amazed yesterday when I noticed nobody had posted the Oozaru Vegeta scan

Well, I was about Jaco, Whiz and Beerus as everybody seemed to talk about Big Apes

[DonieZ]

Link me a great gameplay video non-beta that you enjoyed (or if beta then short). I'm getting tired on waiting on Dimps to show us they can choreograph a good fight, they're meant to be the creators of the damn game so show us how it's done.

You should know better Donie. I understand you want to see the best possible version of the game played in a good way but that won't happen for a long time. Luffy broke the game down so we know it won't be shallow.

For now you'll have to endure mindless goons spamming supers repeatedly.

If you were part of the Network Test you'd know this game is worth waiting for and getting new updates about it is rather interesting because it's been seven years since we actually got a proper quality Dragon Ball game for the home consoles.

Don't get me wrong, the game is good, I did play it. It's just that, I've been asking/hoping for a new 3D style fighter done right, differently to Tenkaichi/RB, for a long time, and it just doesn't meet my vision. And I know I'm not the one making the game, but sometimes, don't you just wish you are!

The interview with the no to the beyond SS1 question is false or modified to add that question. Officially they have both SS1 and SS2 but are deciding if they should or not add SS3. Hopefully they will add SS3 because they already have the hairstyles for that form already done(in Heroes).

Believe what you want, but everything so far has pointed to the Saiyan avatars only having SS in Xenoverse. The only "evidence" against it is that one interview, and multiple people have mentioned you are almost certainly misinterpreting it.

I'm not going to sit here an debate about it though, because, ultimately, it doesn't matter to me. I don't really care what form the avatars can transform to. So just wait until the game is released and see for yourself. But I get the feeling you're going to end up disappointed.

It's probably a good idea to start a new thread when the game releases proper.

[dbboxkaifan]

It didn't happen with the previous titles so it's probably no different and why would it need? It's the Official Topic of XV.

I honestly think it would be better to have a Before Release thread (i.e this one) with new discussions and all that and then a a Launch Thread to discuss the game once it's released, just so people don't get lost in the already 250+ pages this one already has.

[VegettoEX]

We've done both options for various games (pre- and post-release thread / just one thread). Neither option is perfect for a community like this with sooooooo much discussion, so we just kinda do whatever...

[DBZGTKOSDH]

So, since I wasn't keeping up with the news this past month, can someone confirm if this list of confirmed characters is correct? My source is the DBWikia by the way, so I don't expect it to be 100% correct.

Apparently UK isn't getting the Steelbook case.



But if we do then I surely hope it's Amazon, ShopTo or GameStop. GAME prices are absurdly overpriced!
