Going by Episode of Bardock and the 2010 remake of Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, I doubt that this OVA will be any good. It will likely be fallen under fan fiction type of writing that we seen in Episode of Bardock, the Super 17 saga and the Shin Budokai games.

PtEtSS was all right but the EoB was completely forgettable though the Super Saiyan Bardock scene was at least somewhat decent.

If Xenoverse had an OVA/Special and it was EoB-bad then they should just avoid it.

I pre-ordered the game, does that make it a first print? In order to get Jaco and stuff.

Yes, but Jaco isn't confirmed for anywhere but Japan.

Or it could be a animated version of the DBO story to get people who haven't played DBO an idea of what the hell is going on with Trunks, Towa and Mira and the whole time travel thing with the alternate time lines etc etc.

We will just need to wait and see.

Is that just talking about the animated material having some information in it, or might we be getting an encyclopedia like thing on the game with something like the DBO timeline to help provide some context to events? Curious, curious.
I just assumed that meant when the game is released, the V-Jump released around the same time will have a whole bunch of info in it.

I really like the red eyes on the villains. They actually look intimidating cause of that red line under their eyes which kind of looks like blood. Nice to see Towa and Miira animated! Really hope we get to see Trunks fight them. And Super 17 in there? What the hell. :lol:

Wow, I'm just amazed by the Trunks' Edition in negative sense.... How many are you going for it?
I wanted so, it would be nice to have Trunks to put on a shelf with box and everything, but the edition is only the game and the figure and it costs 86 pounds?????
Jesus Christ, I've got the new Assassin's Creed on PS4 with collector's figure, CD Soundtrack and artbook with nice box for like 70 pounds!!

I think, that Japan should finally realize to not overprice their inferior products (Most of the franchise games that get produced in Japan have awesome visuals, but as games are pretty subpar).

I wonder who will be key animator for the OVA in Xenoverse. Maybe Toei will hire a very good key animator and give Dragon Ball the quality animation it de- pfft HAHAHAHAHAHA :lol: . I'm sorry, I couldn't finish that sentence with a straight face. :D

Joking aside, it is kinda cool that Xenoverse's story is getting fleshed out. Bandai Namco obviously want to get Dragon Ball games on the next gen off to a good start with Xenoverse, so are trying to include as much content as possible to entice burnt out Dragon Ball gamers. And Super 17 makes his return... yay?

So far we only got that training quote video from chaospunishment. Paikuhan wasn't included yet chaos did say there are many more quotes he didnt play. Hes a 50/50 right now. If we see any story info that includes filler characters like Garlic Jr. then the likelihood of Paikuhan could go up, same if we get confirmation of Janemba.

Really wish this game could atleast have every character included in the other Dimps DBZ home console games so we wouldn't have to go trough these wierd decisions. I mean, I know I'm going to love playing as Appule online and win a few for the LOLs sake, but It kinda upsets me we're getting him instead of someone like Dr. Gero or Zarbon.

ANYWAY, SUPER 17!, GODKU! NEW ANIMATION! I should have expected the first 2 already, but they way the are presented in the scan makes it so exciting.

I take it that the OVA in the game won't be dubbed in America just like EOB and PTETS. I don't care about a English dub, but I hope it will be decent. We almost have a month before the game is out. I guess Xi Ying Long (Syn Shenron) will be announced next since we know that he is in it due to the leak data from a while back.

I suppose there's a chance that the animation for this won't be dubbed...but I'm going to hold out hopes that it will be. I mean, in both other cases, they were a little different. Episode of Bardock was a pre-existing animation that just got included for the game. PTETS, while made specifically for that game, was a re-creation of an older animation (which was also used for a game), and was long enough that it was it's own special essentially. This seems to be something much less substantial, so...

...okay, I'm grasping at straws, but I really hope it gets dubbed darn it!
