Bought Xenoverse and the Season pass after seeing the video. Now I just gotta figure out who I'm gonna make.

A part of me wants to make Not!Luffy or Not!Naruto, or some other Goku clone. Are those options?

If you mean a literal Goku clone, you can unlock his outfit, and a "wig" of his hair (and his SSJ hair). The same guy who did that video with the voices made a very convincing Turles this way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8x9t5RwI9I).

I don't think you could make Luffy or Naruto. You just can't make the dude thin enough to be Luffy, and there's no Naruto headband as far as I know. I think you can unlock Bardock's headband, and it's possible to get the color of the clothes right so it may resemble them in motion.

I meant clone as in how Luffy and Naruto and others are basically the Goku of their series. I wasn't expecting super-exact clones, but that the options would include straw hats and jumpsuits that look like Naruto's.

I guess it would be better to say I wish my character could cosplay as Luffy. Or Naruto. Or Toriko. Maybe not Natsu, but only because he's from a different company.

I think Toriko is definitely possible. Sergio has videos of different accessories and stuff that you can look through to see if there's the items you wanted, but offhand I cannot remember. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8V3dbMMkXs

I'm shocked that they haven't advertised it at all. You'd think that having a voice done by Team Four Star would have this exact effect of upping sales.

A lot of those voices are amazing, but oh my god. Tempted to scrap my idea for my first Saiyan to make a "Ghost" Nappa now. Very tempted.

Love how all the VAs are kind of awkward pronouncing Goten's "Kamekameha." Like they're worried if they're saying it right. It's a nice touch. :3:

My guess is because it would draw attention to DBZA, which is on shaky legal ground as it is. Endorsing it in an official product might run afoul of shareholders. That is to say, Funination is part of a public company, so shareholders who don't actually give a poo poo about DBZ could make trouble.

Ideally Funimation would have Team Four Star on payroll and then just keep letting them do their thing, but try writing that budget requisition. It does seem clear though that some head honchos at Funimation (like Sabat) do love DBZA.

I wouldn't be surprised if there ends up being a whole legion of Nappa clones on release now, that voiceset is just too good to pass up

KaiserNeko tweeted about the leak last night but took it down. It showed up on my Fenix app and I couldn't respond or anything, so it must have just been saved locally temporarily. He said it leaked and it was awesome but he couldn't talk about it.

If anything is going to get the DBZA treatment out-of-order I'd hope it's Return of F, LittleKuriboh absolutely owned his Frieza role and it's the best arc TFS have done to date, and it'd be the perfect opportunity to revisit the character to boot

I feel similar. TFS Nappa is cool and all, but there are quite a few characters from DBZA I'd rather see, Vegeta and Piccolo (with Nail and Kami) chief among them. Also they should really throw in a TFS TIen as a foil to Nappa so I can go around taunting them with a "I'm the only serious character in this game. That's the joke" quote.

I think this is asking way too much of what's likely just a cute fan thing and a counterpart to the japanese version also having a silly, heavily ad-libbed voice (which a lot of Namco Bandai games with CaC have, like God Eater)

Well, many of the costumes are identical just with different stats and movesets. I don't think you'll have a problem finding a look to go with the stats you want.

How cool would it be if they did a DBZA voice pack as DLC? They seem eager to do a lot of DLC for the game.

I can see certain times when pandering is derogatory, especially if it's pandering to the wrong audience...

Another goon on last page or before put it best when they said that he was surprised and felt good that they knew their audience well enough to include a TFS voice. That takes another level of DBZ fandom to have watched and knew the series, and then a familiarity with an internet parody of it. To me, it's beautiful. If you don't know TFS, it just sounds like a voice you might put on some student of Mr. Satan or something.

I honestly think it's kind of ground breaking. While it's true games will have mention to internet memes and stuff, I think this takes it a big step further.

When I think that TFS made it legitimately into the licensed product, it still kind of sends me reeling.

TFS Nappa isn't my favorite DBZA character or anything, but it's just so goddamn incredible.

A quick Google search told me that all the FUNi VAs really like DBZA, and I think there's a video somewhere with Chris Sabat playing along for a crowd at a convention.

The kind of spergs who would regularly post to the Kazenshuu forums of all places are probably the same kind of nerds who are so attached to their "fandom" that they would view new fans coming in from the popularity of DBZA as people infringing on their "turf".

They're also the type of nerd that can't take a joke or any sort of criticsim, and don't realize that DBZA isn't actually mocking their glorious, perfect, punchman animu.
