"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I'm totally willing to wait till I have it in my possession before I pass final judgement, but of course I'm going to discuss said opinion based off what we know along the way as well.

Honestly though, my complaints are actually pretty minor at this point when compared against everything else we know. I'm already claiming this to be my favorite game despite the flaws. Everything else is great, it's just those few flaws I'm more vocal about because having them fixed would make for a very tight experience. Pretty much exactly what I've been wanting. The sad part about it too is that at least two of my cons seem like relatively easy fixes, as the systems are already in place. I do understand why some of these decisions may have been made, but it's still disappointing. All-in-all though, I'm extremely happy with what we're getting.

Pros:
+Toki Toki City (online hub)
+Fairly expansive character creation with multiple races
+Seems to have lots of customization options in terms of clothing and stuff
+RPG-ish level system for the custom characters
+Deeper combat than some previous titles
+Up to 3v3 fighters (sometimes more for missions)
+Co-op play, not just versus
+A pretty expansive roster, especially for Dimps
+A decent amount of stages, including new ones we've never had
+"New" characters in Towa, Mira and Demigra
+Inclusion of bonus characters with no relevance to story (Jaco, Super 17, etc)
+"New" story instead of basically rehashing the same Radtiz to Buu plot
+Actual cutscenes, and not just two characters standing around with no props
+Animated introduction to the story
+Revival of DBO concepts so they don't go to waste
+Game material actually aspires to add new things to the DB franchise
+Etc.

Uncertain
~Reveal of "Demon God Demigra" might finally give us a taste of the Makaio(shin)

Cons
-Apparently missing some pretty important characters and forms. (Which could've been included like the GT cast, with no story relevance.)
-Transformations are handled poorly IMO (Saiyans and otherwise)
-Apparently can't customize original character's items, attacks or costumes.
-Can only customize colors on select outfits for avatars.

Those are definitely legitimate cons and easy fixes. At the very least, I think we may get some additional characters with DLC, but unfortunately those others seem set in stone.

I hope the game is tough, man. The quest were fairly easy in the beta, but obviously those were early stages. I would love to tackle some tough quest with a group; I'm a huge fan of coop play.

I'm curious, what characters are you referring to?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I'm curious, what characters are you referring to?

Well, most of the character's I'm talking about are relevant to the original story, but may not be relevant to whatever specific portions of the arcs that Towa and Mira jump to. So, assuming none of them have been added in after Sergio's datamine and discounting other "leaks", like the mentor quotes, then I'm talking about characters like:

• Dodoria, Zarbon (Normal & Monster), Freeza (Forms II & III), #16, #19, #20, Cell (Imperfect & Semiperfect), Dabra, Evil Buu (Gotenks & Gohan absorptions).

We've also seen nothing on SS forms for Buu Arc Gohan, though they could be in, or "Majin" Vegeta & Mecha Freeza, but the way transformations are handled now, they could just be costumes...

And if I was including my actual personal desires, I'd fill in some gaps with:

• Chaozu, Kyui (Appule and Larsberi made it), Cold, Pure Evil Buu, Evil Buu (Piccolo abrobed)

Chilled and SS Bardock too if I can venture outside the main series. I really want Chilled in something...

Awesome work Sergio. By any chance could you mine the hairstyles for Saiyans/Humans (assuming they share the same options)? I was curious if the options we got in the network test are all were gonna get in the game.

Yes, hairstyles next would be awesome.

To the Australian's who enjoy shopping at EBgames, I think Dragon Ball Xenoverse Trunks Time Traveller Edition is already sold out on the PS4 . I searched on their website and I couldn't find it, I only found the Xbox One version and that was it. Well, looks like I'm pre-ordering at JB HI-FI.

[nato25]

Hey another Melbourne guy, whats up man! I'm hoping to score myself a review copy personally but hopefully I can get the DLC somehow because I don't want to miss out on SSJ4 Vegeta.

Woo! I'm not the only guy from Melbourne . SSJ4 Vegeta is pretty much the main reason why I want to pre-order the game, but that Trunks figure that comes in the Collerctors edition looks so neat!

[nato25]

The figure is pretty sweet but I just can't justify that extra $50 for it, plus I have run out of room for figures lol. The preorder bonuses are nice though.

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

The new trailer and all those sweet gameplay videos got me so excited that I went and made a music video (or a AMV... or GMV... AGMV? I dunno). Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cJwdBJkMGc
We are possibly getting the best DBZ video game ever made

A DBZ game that may finally dethrone Budokai 3?... And by the same developer no less?

I wouldn't worry about all of this too much. The game is being released on next gen consoles and Steam, so there's definitely the possinility to add more content after release via DLC - especially when the MMORPG elements are considered.

[pitrako]

Do you people think It's fair that Saiyans get 2 exclusive transformations but other races not even get one transformation (except kaioken, but kaioken is generic)?
