The Insane Story of Dragon Ball Xenoverse

[@silversoul2770]

Xenoverse 1 definitely was a game changer when it first dropped. I remember spending hours making new characters, leveling them up, and doing parallel quests. I didn’t have access to Xbox Live back then, so I never got to do the online mode.

[@SonBlackHeart22]

1:14:00 Fun fact if you beat Demigra before Goku shows up you actually get a different ending where is the player character defeating Demigra with a very powerfull kamehameha fueled by Gohan Gotenks Vegeta Piccolo and Krillin's souls I think idk looks cool and stops Goku taking the credit.

[@bobbyscibadee]

In the first game, Goku is fueling the Kamehameha with Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Krillin in the special ending. In the second game, Gotenks replaces Goku in the second special ending.Both endings from both games are fire.

[@po72644]

Xenoverse 1 was pretty much unplayable online. It was plagued by connectivity issues which meant characters were always darting around the screen, hitboxes were massively off, and if you were lucky enough to have a decently connected fight, the online mode was dominated by Super Saiyans as they were so OP and very easy to spam Supers and Ultimates with. Xenoverse 2 was a massive improvement that I don't think people appreciate enough

[@ceecee6521]

Huh. Now I remember why stopped playing the original game after getting XV2. Seriously, for single player and online missions, it was okay, but Super Saiyan was so broken, it was hilarious! No wonder Frieza was scared of Super Saiyans!

[@slash5235]

I was playing on ps3. I remember choosing a Namekian as my main character when the game first launched. That was a mistake for online play because their standard combos that knocked back would never work. I kept playing and found a small Namekian could use the knockback move that every character can use and dash behind to start combos to make up for 1 combo they can't do online, unfortunately you get shorter reach but move faster which allowed the dash behind to connect. I got really good online as Namekian. I kept finding male earthlings online that would just guard a lot because they have faster recovery speed on attacks. That's all they did because combos were unreliable. But it still feels good that I experienced the online at the time it's nostalgic.

[@dansmith1661]

The Super Armor in X1 was obscene and the only cure was grinding levels. Not that your character was any stronger, you just passed a level check and now can actually do damage and not get knocked across the map like it was a gear score.

I’m actually surprised you’re playing the original xenoverse and not playing the legacy version from xenoverse 2 It’s definitely a better playing experience but it’s not fair for a review so props

[@dalejhunter1]

If I was reviewing just the story, I would play Xenoverse 2 just for the better controls and handling. Everything else would be Xenoverse 1 though.

The Frieza saga also mentioned that Goku exited the healing tank too early so he didn't get the required healing and Zenkai boost to face final form Frieza. The main issue with Xenoverse 1, is the double RNG mission have to get certain items. SSJ is a good example as you need to get Frieza to kill Krillin when Goku joins you and that triggers the first RNG to see if Goku does go SSJ. Then there's the second RNG to get the SSJ transformation for your CC once you've beaten the level after triggering the SSJ Goku transformation. I'm just trying to remember if the final fight against Demigra has an alternate ending if you beat him before Goku appears.

[@soomitsunami5936]

He does

[@CarrionCarriesOn]

That also works if you kill Krillin first yourself

[@matthewsimmons9277]

Yeah funny enough the infinite histories dlc of XV2 delivers exactly the amount of deviation you desired.

[@KingSprint]

In Xenoverse 2 mentors don’t randomly spam like the first game unfortunately they’re not labeled so you won’t know who’s who until they’re in front of you Edit: Their is a ending that has your created character beating Demira in his final form by themselves. I think you have to beat him before Goku gets there it’s been a while so I could be wrong.

I never thought about how poorly the story was thought out. I was having so much fun I didn’t even notice 😂

[@TheSwordsman100]

Its not really, Hidden just doesn't seem to understand the premise. Mortals fragment time into parallel universes ala multiverse theory and if this happens too much it destabilize reality, this is why them doing so is a sin in XV and in canon itself. It also not counted as "true" time travel. What you do in game is and Chrona removes your inclusion and fixes any other minor altercations in post like editing a video. You can also compare and contrast this with what is shown in actual canon with DBS. F. Trunks and Cell create and come from a alternate timeline, while Whis freely can can rewind time without making a new timeline.

[@dansmith1661]

I liked how Demigra shows up for a few seconds and suddenly disappears from the story. I think that was X2.

1:14:10 What's funny is that Goku helping you defeating Demigra is one of two cutscenes that can play. The other cutscene that plays is your player character getting powered up by the "spirits" (I think) of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin before defeating Demigra by yourself.

Even when this game was new, the map felt unnecessarily large. I’m happy with the way 2 handled it for the most part. Stuff is still spread out, but atleast it’s all in one zone, there’s fast travel, and you eventually learn to fly. I recently played this game again after like 8 years since I last played, and while I was able to readjust back to the combat, I could not get over how annoying the hub was.

[@freezasama5802]

I bought this game for my brother but he never played it so I played Xenoverse it was an interesting game I loved my CaC Freeze he was amazing and man the pvp in this game sucked I suffered for hours and hours and that stupid Freeza fight I couldn't beat until I discovered you can use capsules but man was it a slugfest to get through and the villain Demigra was boring needless to say I beat it and got the secret ending I tried replaying the game but man it's unplayable compared to xenoverse 2 that gives you free flow movement and man it's a big difference but yeah I have nostalgia for this game even though it's far from perfect

[@simbadas1234]

for the goku vs freeza thing, iirc goku was also shown to still be damaged and exhausted, (which makes sense with how fast the fight escalated) meaning he hasn't gotten his full zenkai and is weaker than the original.

[@DanPantzig]

"I can't imagine how this would perform on PS3" - That's the system I initially beat XV1 on, and...it was fine. The only glaringly wrong thing that happened was a game-breaking crash after the final battle, so I could technically never actually beat it. Apparently this was a pretty common thing. Otherwise, completely fine.

[@JustinSVA]

I remember playing this game a ton as a kid and thinking it was pretty cool... Worth noting that this is also the same time I sunk hundreds of hours into Destiny and kind of noticing a strange string of similar shortcomings. You are dead-on accurate about the gameplay being more focused on level instead of skill level. And having to grind things out to be on the level it expected you to be on...got tiring. And that's honestly the biggest sticking point this game has for me. As years have gone on, I've more or less soured on this game. I've also got to say I am so glad you mentioned the designs and shading, etc because I remember people saying it was really good at the time and I just thought that it looked really off. Anyway, great review!

[@user-ux5ub7ox9i]

XenoVerse 2 did a better job with shading, but the gameplay and cutscenes are far better in the original XenoVerse

[@yodudeyo100]

[@zaratio509]

Regardless of all these criticisms that are valid, I still love this game. I loved Goku popping in even if it was for no reason so that I could fight with a character I loved. I loved the way the characters acknowledged me when I went back in time even if it made no sense story wise. I think this game was simply made for the cool factor, and it worked for a younger me at least. Great video tho

[@silversoul2770]

Yeah, the point with that one was that Freeza skips right to final form and basically almost wipes everyone out very quickly, forcing Goku to exit the healing tank too early. Piccolo isn't present in the cutscene which meant that he hadn't arrived to the fight just yet.

[@kbashley720]

It's ludicrous that so many complaints about the first game were never fixed in the second... people say xenoverse 2 improved so much from 1 but it really didn't

[@optimistprime3192]

After so many hours playing Xenoverse 2, I had forgotten all the quality of life changes they made from the first game. Mentors don’t spawn randomly, all the main gameplay elements are in one corner of the hub city, there’s fast travel points to jump around the hub city with, you can eventually fly around the massive hub! Hell, you return to the hub a small distance from the desk whether you just played PvP or PQs. It’s still not exactly perfect, but I do not miss all these now-repaired irks in the first game.

[@dalejhunter1]

To answer your question in regards to the online servers when this game first dropped. About as unstable for most people. I dunno why, but Xenoverse 1 is better for local play over online for the PvP stuff. Xenoverse 2 is better since they fixed most of the server issues and gave it a more MMO feel. Fun fact too: Xenoverse 1 started as an MMO game called Dragon Ball Online. Which focused on more of the time patroller lore, as well as being the debut of the female Majins. The MMO was cancelled but became the foundation for the Xenoverse series. Edit 1: Part of the appeal of Xenoverse as a series is mostly to go through the story of Dragon Ball Z as your created character. Xenoverse 1 does have the most interactions between the cast characters and your created character, such as Frieza grabbing them by the throat and tossing them aside or Ginyu trading bodies with your created character instead of Goku. Xenoverse 2 extends on this by including a few of the Movie villains as part of the base game (Turles, Slug, Janemba, and Z Broly for example), sometimes adding an additional twist to the plot since you have to contend with them on top of the regular villains. Edit 2: Chronoa (the Supreme Kai of Time's name, only mentioned in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes series, another game within the Time Patrol lore) has the ability to control and maintain time. She's like Zeno from Dragon Ball Super where her authority on time is absolute and wants to keep the balance of the universe by keeping events as they are meant to be. Regardless of whether Yajirobe cuts Vegeta's tail or Krillin does it, it does not matter as the result would be the same. These are rare instances where Chronoa will not mind changes in time as long as the result is the same. As a random headcanon, I imagine she creates the Parallel Quests as a fun little challenge for Time Patrollers and to entertain herself. You have to imagine watching the same events play out over and over again, does get pretty dull. Side note: Chronoa in Xenoverse 2 is a playable character but only when there's a Conton City tournament. And you have to beat this tournament *twice* to unlock her. Edit 3: The mouths (and general animations) not working is purely a PC problem. I play Switch and the animations work, for the most part, as intended, with at most lip syncing being an issue. For whatever reason, the PC ports for Xenoverse 1 and 2 have botched animations, where as the console versions work fairly well.

[@user-ux5ub7ox9i]

PQ's are actually you fixing minor changes in history, not Chronoa entertainment, but you can view it either way cuz it's still pretty vague who caused them,since In the main story you never fight alongside Imperfect Cell against Perfect Cell in the Cell games

[@kanewilson8624]

5:24 if you want to be canon, you would choose a red, spiked up haired (ultimate Gohan type hair) human male according to Xenoverse 2. It has this human specifically as the first option available, then gives a dev created male and female humans for 2nd and 3rd. Dev made Sayians (male and female) for 4&5. Dev made Majins for 6&7. Dev Namekian for 8th and dev Freiza race for 9th.

I think the big mistake in xeno one was that it looked like "oh no things are happening wierdly in the timeline and everything is stuffed up" making you think that you will have to fix events but still get to see the knock on effect as you go to fix future events rather than "someone is messing with the timeline, find out who, why, and try to save the day", while if you went into the game knowing this its fine going in at at release would cause some dissapointment and confusion

[@TheExtraordinarySaiyan0709]

Hidden theirs a secret ending for Xenoverse were your character defeats Demigra without Goku. Thought I’d let you know because I feel that’s the better ending for Xenoverse. The requirement Is you have to defeat Demigra before Goku shows up.

[@inkchariot6147]

If the Xenoverse campaign was more like how it was in the manga, it would be way more enjoyable and memorable. Trunks would achieve Super Saiyan God, we wouldn't have to go through the dragonball history over and over, and the Demon Realm is actually a prominent threat. Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission did Xenoverse's story the right way.

[@user-ux5ub7ox9i]

Fun fact: Since XenoVerse and then XenoVerse 2 are actually in the future from Dragon Ball Heroes (in heroes TokiToki city and then Conton City haven't been created yet presumably) Trunks should already have Super Saiyan God and 3

Xenoverse 2 made farming the dragon balls slightly easier by the sound of things, in that one of the most reliable farming spots is on Namek and now it's "any mission where time patrollers can spawn", with the enemy patrollers generally being optional foes you have to challenge yourself on some missions and guaranteed battles on others.

I hate being the one saying "uh, actually" but the inconsistencies in the story you were complaining about is the whole point of the story with towa and mira, going about time travelling with demon magic and breaking all the rules, and my guess is supreme kai of time was not able to fix the scrolls with their magic interfering

[@jaydenbuchanan8083]

As far as I can tell (I could absolutely be wrong) cell saga trunks doesn't actually travel through time he travels to a parallel world we're the time he wish to travel to is currently happening (explaining the discrepancies that would not have been effected by their explanation of time travel) what towa, chonoa, demigra, and later debura and fu is true time travel (going back in time to change events to alter the future) chonoa then lends this power to trunks and your c.a.c so they can do the same. And regarding Goku remembering you I think it's more of a deja vu since you fight alongside him more often than others and trunks was just watching you save his life through the scrolls so when you get back he says thanks

[@cdgames69]

To clarify on the Frieza Saga incident The big reason that this is a "distortion" is that Frieza powered up too quickly, meaning Goku, who was resting after having been severely injured during the fight with Ginyu, had to leave early, *before* he was actually ready to fight. You can see that his body is still scuffed up in the cutscene I think him not achieving Super Saiyan is also implied, but even if he could, Frieza would just be stronger and Goku would still lose

I was excited and waiting for my pre-order copy of Xenoverse 1 for the ps3 that came with a poster and l got the gold and silver Saiyan armour that no one else can have, I didn't use it that much as later on you get better stuff to wear. I still wish I played it on the ps4 like everyone else but didn't have the money for it back then. When players complain about the graphics it was made for the ps3 not the ps4 and maybe not a lot of money to make it better at the time. I went with a Namekian as my main on a long journey. It was exciting at the time, and it was something new. I spent ages with the customisation and a enjoyable time making friends to play with. Unfortunately we all know the online experience was lacking and still is on Xenoverse 2, we complained about it all the time but never gets fixed 🤦‍♂️. I guess that's a money problem or they just didn't care about it. I still enjoyed playing online and worked around the problems, but it was a headache sometimes with lots of combos not working. Luckily, I like grinding in games, so it was ok. but the online is empty now and players have too much knowledge compared to what they knew at the beginning that made it fun. I wish I could go back and experience it the same way. I also wonder if my level 99 Namekian is in the lobby on ps3 helping other players still with my support build character. 🤔

Captain Ginyu stealing your body was a great idea, however playing as Ginyu was so tedious and long because he's so weak. Also it would've been a cool challenge if Ginyu could take full advantage of your character's move set. My biggest issues with these games (yes both) is that the bot characters never use transformation abilities and don't really use their full move set.

I'm surprised if the XV1 servers are even still live.

[@Misosalty683]

They arent only offline is available

[@Ratchetcomand]

Xenoverse 2 has so much DLC. I hope you have the money to cover all of it lol

[@TheJadeFist]

I had a random thought about Krillen cutting off Vegeta's tail. What if this game set up a twist later on where in fact Yojirobe was responsible for the timeline changes? Thus not making it a mistake/ lazily not including the man.

[@Misosalty683]

58:56 im late i know but my theory is when demigra infused buu with the evil energy it pretty much suffocated the good buu from within super buu resulting in the transformation

[@MinhLe19303]

20:00 Xenoverse 2 rectify this. What the TP done is basically the casualty control and the Supreme Kai of Time need to use her power to completely correct the timeline. 30:49 Because that timeline wasn't corrected yet. Towa mentions she made more than 1 change in that timeline, which is the one where Trunks fight Perfect Cell, that's why Trunks remember him when he helped Trunks against the Androids before he time travel. I don't see Goku knows him in this game. 46:38 That's just how Bulma's time travel machine works, travel to parallel timeline instead of the past of current timeline. There are parallel timelines yes, but it's possible to alter that one timeline that actually closed. Also, even in DBZ, it was hinted that direct interference isn't the cause of parallel timeline, but it's the time travel machine that created them. That's why Goku's heart virus happened in different time, and Android 19 and 20 exist. Trunks haven't really done anything that lead to the divergence. 49:26 Did you not pay attention that Trunks only said he drove them away? That story stage actually set before he time travels. It's actually the fight in the OVA after Gohan's death. 55:41 In the Japanese version, Majin is actually how demons, especially from Demon Realm, or magic-based race were referred, Buu included. A lot of time the demons were referred as "Majin *insert name*" Seperately, the term also use as a state of being that demon use, signify by the tatoo markings on the face like Demigra. Since the 2 meanings were use interchangeable, it's hard to tell which meaning they use. In the English version, the localization differenciate the term of 2 meanings as Majin (the race) and Demon God (the transformation). I may be wrong few things about this since I don't know Japanese, you should ask @GodslayerSeiya about this since he's an expert about Heroes and Xenoverse stuffs. 1:09:44 If you remember, before the fight against the revived villains, Chronoa summons Shenron. She's actually wish to summon a post-Battle of God Goku to help in the Time Vault, so he actually has access to Toki Toki City like the masters have. I admit Xenoverse story is a mess without NPC dialogues, with Xenoverse 2 just keep retcon things as DBS was airing. Not helped by the abysmal localization and English voice actings. I actually think the dev need to reboot the series and make intriguing and consistence story with a lot of originality.

23:09 This made lots of people happy.

Can't wait for you to do a video like this on xenoverse 2

Xenoverse is a direct continuation of the GT and "Mainline" story combining. The next step in the line after Xenoverse 2 is actually Dragonball Heroes, which is a combination of all forms of dragonball media. All of it; games, movies, manga differences, animes and all its fillers. We got a short Dragonball Heroes promotional anime to tide over fans, but mostly to promote the game being localized through a Steam release. Prior to the Steam release, Dragonball Heroes was a collectable card game arcade machine only playable in Japan. You would play, unlock characters, it would print out those characters as cards for you, and then the next time you play you would insert the cards to show you own those characters and continue your story. Heroes actually goes so far as to introduce entirely new concepts and characters, and I'm surprised the greater fanbase hasn't really latched onto it. It's like if GT got a sequel, without having to follow child Pan, Teen Trunks, and Kid Goku around the universe. It lets things like Super Saiyan 4 Broly, Super Saiyan 3 Bardock, and Golden Metal Cooler be a reality. 90% of the time, it looks like fanfic in an official format, and I kinda think that's what it is. It's all the fans who grew up with Dragonball that now actually *make* the dragonball scripts and media, expressing their wild ideas together. So TLDR; If you're looking for a continuation of Xenoverse, go play the Dragonball Heroes game or watch its promotional anime episodes; they're shorter than normal episodes so binging isn't too much of a time investment.

A lot of this is pretty off(such as you don’t insert the cards but place them on a touch panel/screen and cards are completely random you get one after every time you play or you can buy one for 100 yen) also DBH is completely separate from Xenoverse while the overall story is similar and they use some of the same characters both Xenoverse and DBH are their own interpretations of the dragon ball online story(heroes even being closer to the DBOnline story during God mission) and are not connected in anyway. (Here’s some differences in stories, like when Mira and Towa merge in xenoverse 2 Mira forces Towa to merge with him too increase his power, while in SDBH when Mira and Towa merge its too save Towa from broly dark killing her, in GDM bardock unlocks ss3 in game after training with trunks while in xenoverse 2 bardock unlocks ss3 while fighting Mira) Also the SDBH promo anime wasn’t meant to promote world mission, it hasn’t even had an official release outside of Japan and Taiwan, instead it was meant to promote the arcade game and to have some form of animated DB media in Japan! (Not trying to be rude but I just see this misconception that XV and DBH are one in the same)(also I’ve been playing DBH for years now lol)

[@mr.mystere4999]

Hoo boy, where do I even start about my own problems with XV1? This. This is one of those times where I would wholeheartedly recommend skipping XV1 in its entirety and going straight to Xenoverse 2. E V E R Y T H I N G is better in XV2! In fact, some versions of XV2 allow you to play through XV1's story mode with all the benefits of XV2's much-improved mechanics. XV2's drop rates are not the best, but they are way, way, way, way better. Ultimate Finishes in PQs are always guaranteed as long as you meet the conditions for unlocking it. It is easier to level up and get money. If a PQ has a Time Patroller in it, you can always fight them. XV2's music is amazing. And what's even better, is that if you're fast enough in the final battle, you will defeat the boss without Goku showing up in the cutscene.

[@prodigy_son7011]

Commenting this before watching ,but did you know that Xenoverse story was actually taken from the old mmorpg Dragon ball online,Xenoverse 1 and 2 did add to it tho

[@Rennmi]

It’s a bit of a shame she didn’t shine much light on dragon ball online as Dbxv series is connected to it

[@antinixsupernova]

9:14 this literally happens to a ton of ppl,the servers for xenoverse 1 are probably down

[@Maddymadd24]

[@CozyRomani]
