So, I know it was just a network test, butam I to presume all CaCs (at least within the races/genders) have the same melee combos, or can those be customized/purchased?

Sergio said in his latest video that you will be able to choose between fighting styles.

Sick. I hope there's a sword style! I know you can have sword accessories, but I wonder if they're just props?

[Avenged]

I want to say this is highly questionable. A Playable Demo in December and a Feb. 24th 2015 Release date. Don't know if that's worldwide or for Japan, UK, US... well, I'll leave the speculating up to you guys.

So much wrong with that...

1. It's from some Wiki.
2. It's not a Budokai game.
3. No legit news comes from a fan's Youtube video.
4. No release date announced.

Seven languages, one of them being Portuguese?
Awesome, since I guess it'll be Brazillian Portuguese which I don't mind at all since they use mostly the Japanese terms. So no need to read "not-Tenshinhan" everythere!

Looks like that was taken from Dragon Ball Wiki.

The game isn't part of the Budokai series, it's a series of its own.

Bandai Namco's more popular in Europe than US so if they were to include Portuguese then chances it'd be Portuguese of Portugal than Brazilian.

Pretty sure the videogames they already translated to Portuguese were PT-BR. Like Battle of Z.

All DBZ PS3 games have had Brazillian Portuguese subtitles tho, It's that they're only avaliable if your system is in Brazillian Portuguese and you have an NTSC copy of the game. (source: I somehow have a NTSC copy of Burst Limit)

Edit: Went in to check and Burst Limit doesn't have Portuguese subtitles at all, however I'm sure the other games do have, as shown by omegalucas's video.

Had no idea. Hopefully the Steam version will have access to all the languages.

With Steam you just need to change the Interface's language to get the game run in the language you want (If it is avaliable), and it normally doesn't make the distinction of PT-PT and PT-BR so it should be fine.

Was a bit disappointed that part of my transformation question couldn't be answered for the time being, though they way he hesitated with his reply seems to imply that we're right in assuming Freeza's forms are separate. Will still wait and see though. Another portion of my question was indirectly addressed too when he mentioned they are still tweaking how ki gauges could work in the final game, but that doesn't really cover why they they are Ultimate Attacks that only grant you one form at a time.

I see a lot of people interviewed for DBZ games that either just talk out their ass, can't answer something or legitimately don't know information (making you wonder why they even bothered). This one seems to actually have a bit of an understanding of things though (despite his position), judging from how he was responding and such. Occasionally some of the questions seemed be worded oddly and thus caused confusion, but overall it didn't seem to be an entire waste of time and he would even ramble a bit to provide some background details that weren't really required to answer the question.

Anyway, something else besides my question caught my attention....did I hear a seemingly intelligent DB game representative actually talk about looking into the possibility of LEGITIMATE DLC to expand on the game POST LAUNCH, all on his own? Without being asked about DLC in the first place? As in, not little packets to unlock stupid little super strength versions of characters that are already on the disc, but potential quests and stuff (from the way he was talking)?

[DarkPrince_92]

I mean I think the interview is somewhat solid, despite him not knowing a great deal as far as gameplay... remember his job is the game's localization and translation overseas. You shouldn't expect him to know a great deal on game mechanics and whatnot.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Well, the actual portion about transformations being Ulitmate Attacks and all that wasn't even asked, so it wouldn't matter how much info he had on mechanics of the game.

As for the bit about Freeza's transformations being separate, I would think he should know that. Since he oversees localization for us, he should know if some forms are on the character select screen. He should presumably be checking these things for errors as part of his job, nay? (Which is presumably why he declined to answer instead of saying he doesn't know.)

[dbboxkaifan]

If Mr. Popo isn't a playable character then at least it's possible to make him out of a Black Saiyan (just like he looks on the manga/anime).

CaC will be quite useful to have around for characters that weren't included in the roster.

Black Majin would be most likely the better option, who knows, they might get Mr. Popo eyes. I know that they got Mr. Popo eyes in DBO....

[dbboxkaifan]

Oh yes the Majin race is included so it's definitely more suitable than Black Saiyans.

My only concern with this game is the dashing everything else I'm okay with it.

I'm sure he does know but like every PR person they have to make the game look good. They have to sell you something. If they tell you things that you don't want to hear that's a potential loss sale.

But I do understand you. I avoided some questions for the fact that it was obvious that it wouldn't be answered. I tried to dig into questions that weren't soft but not hard enough so that I could get something out of it if that makes any sense.
