Should be, mine downloaded just fine. You can try restoring your licenses (its settings/psn) to see if that lets you download it. Coincidentally I had to do this to actually get my preorder bonus to show up.

I just looked in the options menu and yeah, voice options for the US PSN version at least are Japanese and English.

Try signing in to your psn through your desktop computer, check your recently added games. Xenoverse and the preorder thing should be there. Click them and then click on select download to your ps4. Thats how im getting it. Pretty stupid though.

The voice acting in this is terrible and I'm not sure why you'd want to swap them to Japanese since bad voices is the truest DBZ experience?

Not that I can tell. Trunks and Goten think you are a jerk no matter what race you play as. You only really need to play the story mode once - you only start with 1 CAC slot, and you unlock them when you beat story mode - and then any other CAC you make will have all the parallel quests open to level up in and unlock goodies freely. And all attacks and outfits and stuff you have currently acquired.

I don't speak Japanese, so I don't know if like Piccolo will be like "What the hell, a Namek?" or something. I kind of doubt it.

I'm so excited to see your guy's impressions of the story mode and alternate timeline. Saiyan Saga What-If Spoiler Nappa and Vegeta decide to turn Oozaru on your rear end.

Raditz just called me a pathetic earthling or w/e so there's at least different dialogue for different races.

I don't know what kind of weirdo name database they pulled for the randomly generated NPC's but it's very unique. I've found a blue Namek called Kenneth, a Saiyan called Quinton and a Frieza called Randy. Then a bunch of Gaelic names like Brennan and Bronwyn.

Here's hoping that Wolf Fang Fist combos into ranged attacks so I can have my special snowflake character who murders people with that and Frieza death beams.

Also how good is buff stacking, so using Kaioken x20 with Recoome's Ginyu pose for example?

Initial thoughts:

Could use some quality of life stuff for wandering around the city. There's no reason that I should have to run back to the little starting point after every parallel time quest other than to waste time, if I want to do a bunch in a row just let me do a bunch in a row. I'll wander around the city when I want to buy stuff, you don't need to make me run past the stores every time.

Captain Ginyu is in my body but Goku is still talking about needing to get his body back. What.

Subtitles are also full of typos, apparently they were too busy making an awesome game to spellcheck their poo poo

Frieza has like 5 health bars this fight is bullshit

Well there's a quick way to check if there's racial differences in dialogue.

What did Ginyu say when he took your body? He said my Majin was 'flabby'.

There are definitely racial differences in dialogue but it's entirely cosmetic.

This Frieza battle is absolute bullshit. If you're lucky enough for him to kill Vegeta in the first phase you get to skip one of his arbitrary extra health bar reset stages which seems to be a bug more than anything intentional.

EDIT: And then out of nowhere I take him apart like a bitch without a single ally being knocked out or having to use a single item. Ok then.

It's almost always just "oh you're a <race> you cant possibly win" style dialogue in every instance I've come across but it's there, yeah. Maybe a Frieza or Majin would get more of a reaction since they're based on villains and an Earthling is just too vanilla.

Yea the game isn't perfect, there's flaws obviously, but if you're a DBZ fan this is basically one big love letter to the series done quite well. If you're the kind of person that hears 'you can take your OC saiyan warrior and fight Cell because Gohan can't handle Super Evil Cell Mode' and goes 'nifty', it's worth buying.

There's tons of Japanese gokus who are great but your starting goku is just a palette swap until you start getting lucky with the clothing drops in missions, and the game hasn't been unlocked long enough to see any really good parts drop yet I guess.

I'm currently just wearing the pre-order bonus gear to grind out the story mode because it's pretty good stat-wise.

Sure Trunks, will go do the time patrol.
