"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[TheAldella]

It's so funny to hear Great Ape Vegeta as Omega Shenron.

My Xenoverse character will make will make a special appearance in Xenoblade X.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

Xenoverse, DLC character voices.

Clinkenbeard as GT Goku sucks imo, Pan's voice sounds different, Nova's the same, I'm not sure about Eis because I don't even remember what he sounded like in GT, and now I'm not sure if Syn/Omega is definitely Bob Carter. And that "I'm your momma" remark from Freeza is probably gonna revive the gender debate.

How bad can this get? Male voice 2 sounds exactly like GT Goku's old voice, yet they get Colleen to do it anyway? Her voice is just way too high-pitched and feminine for his character.... I knew they'd do this. Though I kinda wish they gave pan a new voice, her voice still sounds really bad.

I'm not too crazy about the female voices, they all sound a bit too childish.

I'm not crazy about them either. It doesnt fit the character I wanted to make; but if I wanted to make Bubbles from PPGZ, i'd be covered.

TFS Nappa was supposed to be an easter egg, a little fanservice to fans of both DB and DBZA. No one is supposed to know about this or know it's Takahata unless they checked every single voice sample instead of picking the one they like and continuing on. And to be honest, if it wasn't for DBZA and the recent movies, Dragon Ball will hardly be relevant in places other than Japan in today's society as it was before.

Yeah, a lot of fans love TFS. If you don't, fine, no one is forcing you to use the voice, but there are a lot of people who love the fact that it is in.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

Very interesting.

• First off, Kid Goku just sounds like Luffy with a cold...
• I don't care for Omega's voice
• The other dragons sound good though
• Bebi..... why?
• Gogeta vs. Vegito? this should be good. It will be RB1 all over again
• Gogeta vs. Beerus, also cool

I know, but why him? He's seriously painful to listen to. TFS Nappa of most characters is a large part of why I cant sit through it. Yes, I mentioned how ear-drum scrappingly throaty & high-pitched he is but how his in-game offical dialogue is just so bad, DiC's sailormoon script writers would face-palm.

And to be honest, if it wasn't for DBZA and the recent movies, Dragon Ball will hardly be relevant in places other than Japan in today's society as it was before.

I highly disagree with that, DBZ would still be popular. TFS shifts it, because it keeps the series popular through its own caricature of it, not what the actual series is. More people reference the TFS memes than actually understand the canon material. Now this worsens it.

I know, and I'm split on that fact.

Are you a fan of Masako Nozawa's Son Goku? Because if so, I know two friends who'd love to know you... pot and kettle. They're both black, by the way

[El Diabeetus]

I like Goku's voice, the mannerisms remind me of Schemmel's current Goku. I assume they did that on purpose.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

I respect that TFS has a body of work that is enjoyed by a large portion of the fanbase, myself included. But no part of it has any place in anything official. The "I HATE THE MEDIA" line is a fine example. It was bad enough that the original dub was such a godforsaken mess. Do we really need to punch up Kai's script with a TFS reference of all things in a dub that's meant to be a second chance? It's nonsensical and completely out of place. I'm not saying that Kai would be 100% accurate without it, or that the TFS bit somehow completely ruins Kai on the whole either. But artistically, it was the wrong thing to do for the wrong reason to do it. It's the same case here with Xenoverse.

I'm sure that TFS has relationships with many of the creative forces behind Funimation DragonBall. That's great for them. Maybe they could even find a way to release Abridged on DVD one day because of it. Great for us! But this thing where a fan production starts bleeding into official releases that are supposed to be the genuine, SEPARATE product just does not sit well with me. Yeah, I'm sure that a lot of fans will love Taka in Xenoverse. Even people who don't know what Abridged is will use it and enjoy it. But from my standpoint, I can't see a reason for its inclusion beyond being gratuitous.

This is how I'd argue that the gradual fusion of TFS and the Dub series is going too far. Now that its being added into the games people are going to start expecting it; Sean & Chris didn't even want to acknowledge it the last time they and the JP voice actors shared a panel together. Now its just going to far for me. I mean, its one thing to have a voice, but the dialogue too has to be taken from TFS jokes into official unrelated material? I know I don't have to use it, but TFS Nappa's voice is just so irritating to listen to that I would be pursuaded not to buy the game if I had to hear it everywhere online.

"SuperDuper Tryhard Bang-Ame Ha!" No.....

Please remember that this is not a TeamFourStar / DBZ Abridged thread. Keep your conversation on-topic. Thank you.

Only sad thing is that you can't wear more than one of these at a time. So no dead people equipped with a halo, a hat, a sword and a scouter.

I'm just waiting for GT Goku to fire a Gum-Gum Kamehameha.

I also do like Masako's voice for Goku, but its hard to apply the same standards in another language. But even her voice at most times can be deeper and clearer while not anywhere near as throaty as Colleen's is. And included, there are so many VA women who do boy voices so much better. Colleen is just overcasted cannot deliver. Tara Strong, Veronica Taylor, Stephanie Nadonly, Tabitha St. German, Tracey Moore, Nancy Cartwright, Pamela Adlon ...etc, all FAR better doing boys voices.

I think you're being really harsh on Colleen. I think her Monkey D Luffy is good. It really does bug me though how people rag on Colleen for having a higher pitch in for her voicing of kid Goku and yet at the same time praise Masako Nozawa's Son Goku's voice which is even more high pitched. It just seems like a double standard.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

Is the Final Villain's name: "Deh-Mee-Grah"(My assumption) or "Demi-Gruh"(Funimation)?

As I said, its harder to apply the same standards to another language; but in delivery - her Goku's voice is only really high-pitched when he yells, but when he speaks its much deeper. Its comparable to Sean's range actually. Sean has a high voice for a general man but still sounds very male. Its Colleen that doesn't sound male at all when she talks but like a throaty toddler with a hoarse voice rather than a boy's voice. (We can move this debate somewhere else though)

Demi-glace is French as far as I know, so it it should be closer to "Deh-Mee-Grah". Even with the Japanese pronunciation (which swaps in more of a "Doh" because of how it's spelled).

Confirmed what we already know: Ghost Nappa is in Xenoverse. And it was done intentionally on behalf of BN US who are fans of TFS and DBZ Abridged.

Whole heartedly disagree with this, I've seen DBZ all arcs more than 4 times, I'm on my 2nd run through of DBGT...I've seen all the DBZ movies either 2 or 3 times each and played most of the games, and still do with the exception of RB1&2 and BOZ. This is the most popular anime in America. If not for DB&DBZ Funi the other Funi productions probably wouldn't have been so successful. BOG just made it relevant, we never ever will forget.
