JP voices for me for sure. I don't have anything against Sabat but his Vegeta has just never done it for me.

I don't think Bullza was arguing about anything. It is a legit and common opinion. I listen to English voices because yeah they're the voices I know, but also because I actually understand them. I try listening to Japanese voices and I want to hit somebody. Different people, different taste.

I haven't seen this anywhere, but just to make sure: can you start an out-of-story mode match as, for example, Super Saiyan 3 Goku or Mystic Gohan, or do you have to transform mid-match?

Transform mid match I believe the only gohan that's stuck in mystic is villainous

I'm sorry if this has been announced and talked about already but has Funimation said anything on the voice actors in this game? will it have all the Kai cast?
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

I remember Aryes as Freeza in the english trailer, which is awesome, so I assume it's the new and improved cast.

I'll probably stick to the Japanese cast. It's kinda hard to get back to the FUNimation cast after being around them for so long, no matter how much they've improved. It is nice that they keep this option for all the games though. It seems more and more games are doing more dual audio options these days. Hopefully, they'll keep at it (especially for JRPGs).

That said, wow, I'm pretty impressed how this game shaping up. The EFFORT. ;-; I'm looking forward to eventually getting it.

I KNOW RIGHT!? Not in Raging Blast 1 because that game still used some sound clips from Tenkaichi 3 and I believe some of the file structure, but Raging Blast 2? It was horrible, for both languages, if you weren't hearing that "UUWWHOOAAAAA!!!" every 5 seconds while playing in English, then you were hearing a "KAAHAKAKAKK" in Japanese, It was like every character only had 1 hit-sound or something, it was terrible.

Anyway, I'll be playing the game in Japanese all the way trough the main mode, I might switch it to English once I'm done with that for funzies.

You're right, they have definitely demonstrated effort this time around in putting together a promising experience for a game.

I kinda have a similar complaint about Xenoverse from watching the videos except it's about the fighting sound effects. There's that one sound effect that is louder (dunno if it is a critical hit or what) that keeps showing up and it gets kinda annoying...

Yeah that's annoying. And when a Ki blast hits... I don't even think that sound is supposed to be there, sounds like a heavy punch. But I guess the extra loud melee sound just clarifies you doing an extra follow up combo.

I thought the dubbing for Budokai 3 and Budokai 1 was really good. But yeah, I can understand your complaints about the dubbing in Dragon Ball Z games. I thought Ultimate Tenkaichi was the worst case of lazy dubbing. Some of the voices switch from the Old Z dub to the Kai dub, Freeza and Gohan being the worst offenders. Raging Blast 2 is a close second for worst case of bad/lazy dubbing. Goku's "UUWWHOOAAAAA!!!" was so fucking annoying. :thumbdown:

Oh yeah, I had no issues with anything before Burst Limit, all the PS2 era games were fine imo. I'm hoping for the best for Xenoverse. I've heard a small sample of Krillin during Rhymestyle's little video, and he sounds fine from what I can tell.

Omg yes! The ki blast blocking sound is one of the worst video game sound effects I have ever heard! I thought it was just a placeholder in the beta test, can't believe it stayed.

I'll go through Saiyan and Frieza sagas in English, then Cell in Japanese, then Buu in english. I wanna hear Schemmel go super saiyan 3 again, I love Justin Cook's hammy Raditz and Ayres Frieza, but I hate Colleen as Gohan.

The only part of the cell arc shown is the perfect cell fight and the battle between the androids and cell in trunks future so you won't hear much of gohan
