Dragon Ball Fighter-Z or FighterZ, however you say say it, is set to grace us with a
lovely marriage of the beloved anime series and fighting game for the upteenth time, although
this one looks closer to the anime than any have come before it.
Hey folks, Jake here, and today let's talk about five teeny tiny details you should know
about Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Hitting the first entry on this list at number five is something I went into a little bit
in my five big details video, but for this entry I wanted to talk about how the process
went for the creation of Android 21 by Dragon Ball series creator, Akira Toriyama, and the
team at Bandai Namco.
In case you're in the dark about the newest android character, Android 21 serves as the
main villain of Dragon Ball FighterZ who basically brings in an army of Android versions of popular
Dragon Ball characters to fight Goku.
But, the fact that Android 21 was designed by Toriyama himself has been a big blurb about
the game because he generally is not involved with outside properties anymore.
So, Bandai Namco contacted him personally and told him what kind of character they wanted
to serve in the story for the game, and what gender, and other little details.
Then, they allowed Toriyama to draw out the character of Android 21 and eventually her
design was finalized and everyone was happy.
For the rest of the game, the publisher worked with Toei and Shuiesha, not sure if I'm
saying that right, but the anime studio and manga company gave them guidance on how certain
characters would act.
According to the game's producer they commented on certain behaviors written for Goku, and
even went so far as to suggest a change of dialogue for characters like Cell and Frieza.
While it has never happened before, as far as I can tell, the game's producer said
he would be happy if Android 21 was popular enough to make a jump from the game to the
anime.
We'll have to see how compelling a villain she is before we start asking for that, though.
And at number four on this list is that, surprise-surprise, you can collect Dragon Balls in Dragon Ball
FighterZ.
At the moment, it is a little bit murky on how you actually obtain the individual Dragon
Balls because of weird translations, but from the footage we have seen, the Dragon Balls
are collectible during matches.
So how it works is once you collect the seventh and final Dragon Ball, the legendary Shenron
will be summoned mid-battle to grant you a wish, just like in the anime.
From there, you will have four choices for your wish, which are, and I'm going off
translations, but the options are refilling your character's health bar, reviving your
downed teammates, increased blue health regeneration or, quote, immortality, and a free Sparkling
blast activation or "Ultimate Power."
A quick note on that immortality thing, I want to make sure people understand it's
not actual immortality just better health regeneration.
But, since we found out about this mechanic, people have been wondering how this will affect
competitive play.
This looks like it will be more of an offline or casual gameplay tactic, but it could make
its way over to the competitive scene.
Some players are hoping it operates similarly to Injustice 2's gear, where you can turn
it off when playing competitively.
Arc System Works has a great reputation in the fighting game community and we'll likely
get some confirmation from them soon on whether ot not the feature will make it into tournament
play, or we might even get the info from the second beta that was just announced at the
time of making this video.
Whatever the case, I'm sure the developer will include an option for those purists to
keep their matches Dragon Ball free.
And at number three, the halfway point of the list, we have the possibility for a Nintendo
Switch release for the game.
Now, there is nothing absolutely confirmed about this, but there are a few things that
lead some sections of the internet to believe that Dragon Ball FighterZ will see an eventual
release on the Switch.
One is that it is a perfect home for the game.
Another portable Dragon Ball Z fighting game, one with good enough graphics to make a passerby
think they're watching the anime?
Yes, please.
The engine used to run the game, Unreal Engine 4's UE4.15 is compatible with the operating
system of the Nintendo Switch, making it prime for a port some time in the future.
The leaker of said information has even said to expect the port some time in the fall of
this year, so it will be a little later than the original release on January 26th, but
later is better than never.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 recently made it onto the switch as well, showing the publisher
is ready to support Nintendo's newest console.
In addition to that, Dark Souls, another Bandai Namco property is getting a remastered release
on the system, so let's hope that they follow suit with Dragon Ball FighterZ.
And at number two on this list is something I'm a little bit sad to say, and that is
that this game will feature yet another amnesia stricken character in a game.
I've been pretty positive about this game so far, and I will continue to be right after
this, but when I found out that Goku will be stricken with amnesia after Android 21
arrives in the story mode I was a little bit disappointed.
The story goes, Android 16 will be reawoken and then will somehow wake up or call in Android
21, it's not really all that clear and then… amnesia.
There's not a whole lot to say about this other than it's been done a million upon
million times before in games and I wish video game writers could figure out a way to make
information seem new to player characters without resorting to amnesia so much, but
here we are.
Also, won't Goku be fighting android versions of his friends?
How will there be any emotional impact when Goku beats up little Krillin when he can't
remember who he is?
Maybe the amnesia only stretches back until the moment Android 21 arrives or something.
I don't know, I have enough faith in the people behind the game to believe it will
work so we'll just have to wait and see how the whole thing plays out when we can
finally dig into the story mode.
And finally, for number one on the list of 5 teeny tiny things you need to know about
Dragon ball Fighter Z, we have the most concrete confirmation that Piccolo loves Gohan more
than his own father we've gotten up to this point.
This entry is kind of a joke, but for long time Dragon ball fans it is nice to finally
hear what the community has been saying for years, Goku is a terrible dad.
Our confirmation comes in the form of a quote that you hear character say at the end of
a battle, so if you pit Goku against Gohan in the versus mode, you will get the following
quote straight from Goku: Gohan, you've gotten a whole lot stronger.
That makes me proud…
Finally.
Yeah, Goku is eventually proud of his son, not at first, but he comes around once he
shows him he can fight.
Now, of course, everyone is wondering, what does Piccolo have to say about this?
Well, once you fight with him against Gohan and win he says I'm proud of you Gohan.
That was an admirable performance.
Yep, that was what an alien who kidnapped Gohan at a young age in order to get back
at Goku had to say about him in comparison to his own father.
I know what a lot of fans are yelling at the screen right now: Goku's a pure saiyan,
all he cares about is fighting.
While that may be true, it seems a little harsh to say to your son after you fight him.
Apparently in Japanese, the quote was not as harsh and it translates to something like,
Gohan, you've become really strong.
I'm so happy.
So this little quote may be chalked up to a mistranslation, but it is still funny at
the end of the day.
And that's the list.
