    If you use ghost nappas voice and use Wolf Fang Fist you yell puppy dog punch
    Does he have a lot of lines? And is it funny? Cause I was watching a few episodes of a LP where they used the Ghost Nappa voice and he rarely talk.

    Though he did say "Vegeeeeeeeeeta!" when talking to trunks randomly.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I don't think any of the voices really have "lines", they mostly yell out the names of the more famous attacks from the series

    it really is a shame they don't have lines. i get from a design standpoint that'd be a lot of work, but it doesn't get any less jarring to have completely silent characters when everyone else is speaking.

    i kinda haven't picked this game back up after a week because the storyline has some ridiculous difficulty spikes. i'm somewhere in the cell saga and i really feel like i'm getting slammed.

  • PlatyPlaty Registered User regular
    It's designed in a way that you need to "train" by doing PQs inbetween story chapters and maybe also gain better attacks

    I usually don't like having to "grind", but here I felt it was in tone with the series, you also never get stuck doing really boring stuff (unless you farm for one specific attack or dragonballs)

    When Ghost Nappa voice uses Special Beam Cannon, he tells "Makenkopopopolis!" also

    I kind of want to go through and try out all the techniques to find it which ones he has weird names for

    (The Japanese name of the attack is "Makenkosappo")

    oh wait the dragon can't revive people who died of natural causes

    CRISIS RESOLVED
    Well it still doesn't make sense cause like... one, none of the other Z-fighters died of natural causes. Two, Dragon Ball is a universe where literally the dead can very easily communicate with the living. So Goku and friends could have told Gohan where to find (New) Namek to wish everybody besides Goku back. Or Goku could have told Gohan about the hyperbolic time chamber thing, and Gohan could have trained in there to beat the androids. Or... basically, Future Trunks timeline doesn't make sense, don't think too hard about it.

    The status of the dragon on New Namek is ambiguous in FT's timeline, since the androids kill everyone quite quickly, Kami is/was ostensibly still the guardian of the planet since fusion with Piccolo never occurred. Goku wouldn't have known to tell gohan about the hyperbolic time chamber because he dies well before the androids show up and Gohan is still a kid at the time.

    It would totally make sense given what he went through as a kid.

    Neglectful father, semi-abusive surrogate father, constant life or death struggles, several tail removals...

    I kind of wish you had more than one character slot at the beginning.

    Ah well, this'll do.

    Alright, I got the lay move piccolo will teach you, but there's a thing to get his z soul still right? Do I just fight him again a bunch

    complete a few more missions and he'll want to spar with you, that gives you his lvl5 soul. Every master does this.

    I'm finding that not many armor options are good for ki users.

    GT Goku, I think it is, 4 Star Dragonball, if you're human.

    That's about it.

  • AistanAistan Tiny Bat Registered User regular
    Yeah I ended up just going around in Goku's gi for 3/4 of the game. Every upgrade that gave more ki special damage was just another version of it. Eventually I got a blank one so it didn't seem like I was wearing his hand-me-downs, but I kind of wish clothing didn't have stats at all. Or that there was crafting slots or something.

    My main complaint about armor stats is that they fit 3 or 4 archetypes

    I want armor that increases Basic Attack and Ki Supers, but it doesn't exist

  • DocshiftyDocshifty Registered User regular
    Yeah, hope fully that's something they address in Xenoverse 2. Don't tie stats directly to clothing like that. Less RNG in drops. And expanded master system.

    That's all they need, I think. They knocked this first one out of the park.

  • THESPOOKYTHESPOOKY papa! Registered User regular
    I like the idea of stats being tied to equipment, because it gives you the chance to lean into a specific character

    But, like, why does Vegeta's equipment not give Ki Super bonuses when ALL of his noteworthy attacks are Ki Supers

    Beerus' clothes increase all three attack stats, by a lot, but tank both your health and Ki. L(a)unch's clothes have the same effect, but are DLC and, may I say, somewhat tacky on my character.

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    I wore White Ginyu Force Armor for most of the game because it's Strike armor

    And then I switched to GT Trunks clothing which looks totally absurd on my giant swole dude

    Epilogue of the trunks movie should just be that everyone is hanging out on a slightly overcrowded King Kai's planet

    I just ignore the stats on clothes and wear what I want

    This is totally viable, since min maxxing is nowhere near needed in this game.

  • StragintStragint Do Not Gift Always DeclinesRegistered User regular
    I beat the game wearing the clothes my Saiyan started with because I hated how everything else looked and none of it matched the stats that I wanted.

    I want Beerus' set but that PQ is so frustrating. I did it 12 times and got the ultimate finish once. So very lame.

    I finished watching the Dragon Ball Z Kai seasons, I wish they had the Buu seasons, I really want to keep going.

    This may be a dumb question, but I already mastered Piccolo, can I find him again so I can get his Z-Soul? Is it just super random who pops up?

    Keep him as your mentor and do PQ's and he'll eventually give you a "Final" fight with him, which should give you his 5 star Z-Soul.

    I've always had them just immediately offer that sparring session to me after I finished their final lesson.

    Before I knew that I switched to a new mentor, I was hoping there'd be an easy way to find him again, but I'm not seeing anything about it online besides "dudes pop up randomly"

    Yeah, nothing in the shop really feels like it compares to the 4-star stuff for Ki users

    Gotta go figure out which are the best armors for strikers and farm whatever PQ that happens to be

    Also MAN, I know the CPU needs to cheat a little bit to keep things interesting, but infinite ki forever is not an awesome way to do that because sometimes the AI decides it just wants to spam ultimates continuously

    You get some strike gear for finishing all the storyline missions i believe.
