And this is why I wait until that stuff starts going on sale. Like I did with the Skyrim DLC packs.

I honestly can't wait to hear Colleen's version of Kid Goku. That's going to be awesome.

Is it Colleen doing kid goku? Cause that will make me sad...

You do know that nadolny does not work for funimation anymore right?

[Lord Beerus]

$25?
So if I want every character, I'm going to have to shell out $85 plus tax? Wow.

For what's it's worth, you're also getting loads of new missions, costumes and special moves as well. So it ain't all that bad. But yeah... fuck DLC and season passess as a whole.

It'll be Colleen or someone else. She already did Goku in the DB flashback in Kai and I think in the redub of the first DB movie so having Colleen take up GT Goku seems pretty much set in stone.

At least BN's not at Capcom-level ridiculousness.

DBX will be released February 5 in South Korea (Japanese ver.)

I'm normally one of those that loathes DLC on principle, I really am - but I think I'm going to try and suck it up a little more in regards to this game. If we start getting more packs beyond these three that are just random outfits and there aren't a fair few that are of interest to me, then I might pass on those, but more characters? Again, I'm slightly miffed at having to pay to get to them, but...this is the first DB game in a long time that it looks like they're putting a lot of effort into. I want to show them support for that kind of thing, in the hopes that further games will have similar effort put into them.

I'll be honest though - it also helps that, not having a PS3 (though I will soon) and therefore having to miss out on all of those generations of games, I'm a little more willing to throw out some money for a main console DB game than I would have been otherwise maybe. I haven't bought a main console game for the franchise since BT3 for the PS2 and Wii.

Whether she works for Funimation doesn't effect her coming back for a game recording. Least last I checked it doesn't but that was like...3 years ago!

Why did Nadolny and Funimation part ways in the first place? I've always wondered. I heard a rumour quite a while ago that she was notoriously hard to work with with, hence why outside of Kid Goku and Kid Gohan she didn't do much voice work.

Well ultimately its up to funimation on whether they wanna use her or not but colleen has already been established as kid goku in kai flashbacks and movie 1 so it maybe her we will have to see either

Uh last I checked (Take my words with a grain of salt. It's been a while and my memory is fuzzy. Also just waking up.) She was kinda hard to work with, some people didn't get along with her (Sabat being one of them.) Some people didn't like her voice, she didn't take criticism well I believe but even with all that a lot of people prefer her as Kid Goku and Kid Gohan. Don't get me wrong, I like Colleen's Kid Gohan but I don't think I'd like her as Kid Goku just because when I listen to her I just hear Luffy's voice...so it would be weird hearing Luffy's voice come out of Kid Goku.

But ya know, there's the thing. Back in the day, I could spend $40 on a game and spend dozens of hours on it trying to complete the story and find all the little knick-knacks. Nowadays, we spend $60 on a game that may not last 6-7hrs and then shell out another $10-25 just for a few extra hours of gameplay that, by all rights, should've been included in the initial release of the game. It's becoming a bad habit of theirs.

I still remember spending hundreds of hours on FF7, just trying to get everything maxed, all of the hidden items found, every materia leveled, every bonus boss strategy down pat and put into the grave. But I'm just not getting that experience anymore. Because 2/3rds of these games are being cut off and divided into DLC release for extra cash. I'm not fond of it.

Some games could've been put as 1 game, like .hack//G.U. that was split into 3 parts, but I got each game for only $20 a piece so $60 total and completing stuff in Prt1 gave extra stuff in Prt2 and even completing Prt2 specials gave bonuses for Prt1 to play through again and it was actually enjoyable and fairly well done for a PS2 title.

It seems like all the effort to make great games and appease the players was exhausted in the PS1/PS2 era and now we've moved into the greedy monopoly era of game companies.

Well Luffy is essentially the same character as Goku and a homage to him. So it's kind of a meta joke in actuality.

[EXBadguy]

This DLC pack caught me off guard, but I have to say that it might rage some gamers on youtube. Still, awesome stuff and a decent price. But I just hope they'l put some of the dlc out seprately, that way the outrage will calm down.

And I "almost" saw Demigra(Once I saw three red tips, I freaked out and scrolled up) when I didn't wanna see what he/she looks like.

While I don't know Mrs. Nadolny personally, just the interactions I've had with her online, I'd find that really hard to believe. She's a really gracious woman who has a lot of love for her former roles and her fans, so...yeah, I'd chalk that rumor up as just a rumor, personally anyway.

It was more likely a combination of two factors that got her and a few others re-cast for Kai and video games moving forward. 1) For whatever reasons, Nadolny, Vollmer, and a few others weren't really doing any other voice over outside of Dragon Ball (they both had a few bit parts in YYH and Case Closed, Brad Jackson has done a fair amount, but for the most part? It was just DB), and thus calling them in to record for DBZ was more trouble and cost more than it did to contact people that were regularly in the studio for other titles. 2) Kai was a chance to finally do DBZ 'right', and FUNi - or at least Sabat who was then able to pave the way for FUNi - seized that opportunity with gusto. I and others feel that there's probably a good chance that Nadonly and some of the other actors probably would have sounded a lot better in Kai, with the now standard better directing and scripts, just as a lot of other returning actors did - but perhaps Sabat and others involved felt differently, especially in regards to #1 here as well.

So the long and short of it? GT Goku is almost definitely going to be Clinkenbeard in this game. If they didn't reach out to Nadolny to try and get her back in for the Curse of the Blood Rubies dub, then I can't imagine they'd get back in touch with her just for this game.

(I say 'almost definitely' because 1) stranger things have happened and I don't wanna have to eat my shoe later, and 2) Battle of Gods bringing back McCoy and Brad Jackson is definitely a weird outlier case, so...)

Yeah I completely get that but...it just bugs me a little. I don't mind it with Gohan but...with Goku it just feels weird. Might just be something I need to get used to like with Nozawa's Goku. I mean the joke gets a little funnier when you realize of the Shonen Big 4. Luffy is gonna be the last one standing.

[Lord Beerus]

I feel an urge to post endless pictures of Demigra now! Just to see you squirm!

Well from what I heard funimation considers kai and z two different properties so maybe with it being related to z they used some of their old cast

That's something I've heard too, and it's possible I guess. From what I was told it's also the reason that they used John Swasey for the narrator of Curse of the Blood Rubies rather than the man who was already doing Kai, so that each series 'brand' had it's own narrator - DB has John Swasey (since Brice Armstrong retired), Z has Kyle Hebert, GT has Andrew Chandler, and Kai has...I think his name is Doc Morgan, isn't it?

Now we've got Fukkatsu no F on the way though, and Sabat at least fully intending to use Ayres from Kai rather than Young from Z, so...it's all getting hard to figure out for sure, at this point.

[ZombieVito]

Yep, the content was cut. DLC pack one will come out a mere month after release.

This fucking sucks.
