Someone hates DBFZ. I don't know who, and I don't know why. It just doesn't make sense why the game has been handled the way that it has. Idk. Just had to get this off my chest.

Lotus stared at the screen in disappointment for so long I almost thought my screen was paused 😅
Same lol 😂
Me 2
I feel like they underestimated how successful this game could be long term.
Severely
Man not gonna lie but it's my favourite fighting game 😢
But it shouldn’t be an estimation to begin with. They saw the sale numbers. They saw that people buy dlc’s like candy. They just simply don’t care.
@@arpadszabo661 Also, Fighterz regularly appears at big to major fighting game tournaments. it was at EVO last year and the year before.
@@arpadszabo661 Estimation can absolutely be a factor. From everything I've seen, before FighterZ, ArcSys only worked on fighting games that sold decently at best and didn't have ongoing support for too long. This game is 6 years old and has sold 10 MILLION copies. They're not used to that kind of success and demand. So it's no wonder they weren't able to accommodate like people wanted. Especially when you consider that it's Dragon Ball we're talking about. The most in-demand anime gaming series known to man. They took on a HUGE undertaking when making the game. One they likely weren't prepared for.
It's blown my mind that Dragonball the Breakers has seemingly gotten more love and support from Bandai than DBFZ did. And Breakers reviewed horribly, did terribly in sales, and barely has any people playing online.
What? No way lmao
Respectfully, DBFZ is a completely different beast and studio altogether. It has TONS of DLC characters (like more than half the roster was DLC I believe?) and balance changes over the years.
Breakers is a seasonal game that relies heavily on new updates to keep player interest. FighterZ should have WAY more staying power than Breakers EVER will, bet.
@@shamilton1990 he’s saying whenever there is a promotional, breakers and including dokkan and legends.. they always are the first three to get mentioned THEN it’s fighterz and xenoverse but those two are always underwhelming as this battle hour exactly shows that.
Dbfz came out 6 years ago of course it’s not getting as much dev support now
@@shamilton1990 wait I'm confused are you thinking that I'm saying Breakers should be the priority over fighters? Because that's the total opposite. I'm saying they should be pumping money into the games that fans actually play a ton and spend money on like fighterz and to NOT waste money on their joke of a live service title like Breakers.
Xenoverse 2 I don't have any issues with. I played it a ton a few years ago. Xenoverse is the dragon ball equivalent of PSO2 and just like that game, it's going to take some really crazy huge change to make a sequel.
DBFZ got 3 seasons of characters so essentially 3 years of content before they pretty much decided to drop it and left us fans waiting for something new because it was so successful. Like damn we got a sequel Granblue VS game before so much as a hope of another Fighterz
@@zinidinerahman4168 yeah but other than a few surprise updates to the game they essentially stopped giving the game support back at the end of season 3 in 2020
one of the best dragon ball games of all time only to be cut short despite it’s wild popularity and potential. maaannnnn
Yup. They always take the good games away from us.
Short term gain over all else. Business man of the modern age of thinking. There is no tomorrow only NOW!
They do it because they don’t want gamers to keep expecting high quality. They want us to be happy with mediocre content.
This is the game most of us have been waiting for since we were kids so I’ll forever be grateful for it even existing. BUT, I’d be lying if I said they haven’t been consistently dropping the ball with how they’ve treated the game during its entire run. This game could’ve been way more successful than it is.
They did NOT expect the game to be THIS successful and it sadly shows... It's SUCH a shame.
If they dont wanna add more characters they can at least add more modes, stages, alternative costumes, character colors, stamps, etc.
Fr how difficult can it be to give us some simple costumes like Super Vegeto/Gogeta (blonde), SSJ Goku with the torn gi, Basegeta with the Buu arc outfit, etc.
The fact that we only got one okay at best looking, non-canon stage is painful. Instead of ToP stage. Kami’s lookout. Room of spirit and time (perfect stage for training mode btw). Kame house, etc… it was also pretty wild that Videl was the only character that came the closest to a second costume with the different hair… We all know people would’ve bought these things without question
@@JokerShiranuiit’s not a difficulty issue I believe. I just believe they truly do not want to do anything with the game anymore or either a higher up is telling them to hurry up and wash away with it
I want an Android 21 bikini costume god dammit.
I think everyone would love costumes or more stages.
Sadness. Been playing since the game came out but this is just sad. It’s truly my favorite fighting game but the way it’s going, it’s a sinking ship
its wild they confirmed their plan to keep supporting dragonball xenoverse alongside sparking, supporting 2 arena fighters at the same time is crazy when they could be supporting 1 arena and 1 2d fighter, no one is going to play xenoverse 2 updates when sparking comes out
@@RocksBlasterI wouldn’t say that
@@RocksBlasteridk why since xeno IS the best selling dbz game
@@RocksBlasterfacts just dont qdd up, xenoverse will still sell.
Its a good game despite being old. Not saying sparking wont outsell.
But xenoverse definitely wont die
All those are purely Bamco-supervised games while DBFZ is a collab with ASW
People will still play xenoverse 2 lol
I never really thought that a fighterz 2 was possible
It's made by Arcsys and they are an independent studio that makes their own games, Guilty Gear Strive being the big one rn and that's in the middle of a season
I just don't see Arcsys dropping their own IP's to work on Dragon Ball for another like 5 years
I mean DBFZ kept getting support for a while after GGST was out
There's no reason as far as I know that it couldn't happen the other way around
Yeah, let’s drop the game that sold 10+ million copies and focus on the one that barely sold a million. Makes sense. They would still get more money out of DBFZ even with the money share than they do with strive.
@@arpadszabo661 One is building their own IP that generates money directly to you, the other is making you a mercernary for other companies.
@@arpadszabo661stfu dude, there’s way more to it then just sales numbers, fighterz isn’t their own thing while strive is so of course they would focus on that. they have way more control over what can be done with strive.
They just made Granblue 2. They could absolutely do Fighterz 2.
Took the words right out my mouth, FighterZ is an amazing game it sucks its getting treated like this.
Hold on, I need some answers chief. How old is this game? How many characters were added? How many patches have we received? I mean they did enough IMO. To be honest, I feel as if DBFZ 2 may be in the works
@@SirStrikeFreedomrespectfully your coping if you think dbfz 2 is coming in the next half decade and considering how well dbfz has done there is no reason this community should be getting spit on this much it is criminal
@@SirStrikeFreedom Bitch if Xenoverse 2 ia getting constant updates till this day ain't no way dbfz deserves to be left behind like this
@@SirStrikeFreedom But they still gonna update Xeno....
@@SirStrikeFreedombro you think DBFZ2 gonna come out when sparking zero is coming out like bro no
Its crazy because even with the lack of support, the games sheer polish made it a fan favorite fighting game and kept people coming back. Sold boat loads of copies in less time than xenoverse. Games like granblue and undernight that sold a lot less getting sequels with rollback and dlc. True fans of the game always held out hope that this game would get the love and support it rightfully deserves. But this is just sad, when this is the best anime fighter and they stopped dlc like 2 years ago. Truly sad bruh
people can try to change my mind but for me DBFZ is the peak of fighting games. there were other greats but this gameplay with these visuals will go down in history. the perfect combination and bandai doesnt understand what they are throwing away here.
@@Listless5228fr. dbfz is the fighting game that got me into playing online
I think it comes down to the fact that it's a lot simpler to create new content and characters for Xenoverse 2 than it is a game like DBFZ, not to mention the developers - Arc System Works is working on many different fighting games. Most of the original DBFZ staff are off working on other things for that company. Dimps has pretty much done nothing in the last few years except pump out content for Xenoverse 2 and make The Breakers and some scattered licensed ios and arcade games.
I agree with this. They are using so many xenoverse 2 assets in their other games. Even the card game uses Xenoverse 2 assets.
Pour one out for Lotus. They straight stole his soul and his joy with the no-announcement, announcement. You're right though. It's insane how XV2 is gonna get future updates but Fighterz has been dragging their feet on rollback for ages. If it was really "coming soon" like the MC of the World Finals said, they would have just given a date...
Honestly, the only thing that would have brought me back was dlc. The last 2 patches have made the game too wild for me to enjoy anymore. Balanced or not.
Just curious, but what does this mean? You feel the game is balanced, but not fun?
@@ZekuTokairin to be honest the game even at a high level isn't really that "wild", its still feels like Dragonball the only problem is that there are like 3 characters that they buffed to be really stupid and unga, that being Cell, Jiren, and Bluegeta. Everyone else basiaclly got alot of cool combo routes, or changes that might not make sense but don't affect the metagame too much. initially I was very turned off of the patch, but now that I'm playing it there definately seems to be some modicum of counterplay against the meta cheese, at the very least there are ALOT of top tier but not quite broken characters. A. Gohan, T. Gohan, Krillin, 18, Gotenks, Ginyu, Zamasu, Labcoat, SSJ4, etc.
I'm a someone that never got into fighting games but dragon ball fighters was the only game that I've put time and research into to grow and become better it feels like they just don't care about the game or the people anymore it's not about us it's about they just wanting to make more but continue on the good they have produced it just down right bs in the end of it all.
For me fighterz was my gateway into fighting games n I had an extremely similar experience to u
Idk this feels pretty normal to me. Games been out for 5 years, had a lot of support for most of that time. Feels like a pretty long lifespan for dev support
The best selling Dragon Ball game, and one of the best selling fighting games of that era.
Yet it never got the support games like SFV or Tekken 7 did, despite similar sales.
I just don't understand how they dropped the ball for what should've been a massive win-win situation.
Sometimes I wish some journalists would do an interview with Hiroki to figure out why tf this game has got so little support despite doing so well
bro i feel for the team that is still working on this game, they must be doing this for free, voluntary work because bandai doesnt give a rats ass and its showing
@@Listless5228 dawg if only iam a billionaire i would be throwing my money at this shit
This genuinely hurts man, honestly one of my favourite games if not my favourite. But after this idk. I completely feel you on this one lotus this absolutely sucks...
This makes me so sad but I’m happy I was around the first two years of fighterz
2018 - 2020 fighterz 💔💔
I been playing FighterZ since Day 1 and it’s one of my favorite fighting games if not my favorite fighting game of all time. I still play it to this day, but not everyday like how I use to before. Like I play it once or twice a week for an hour or two. It’s baffling how it’s been 6 years now since it came out like time has flown for real.
That being said, I’m upset and saddened how it’s not getting the support it needs from the developers. Like the rollback should have been there since it released obviously, but if anything it should have been there a few years ago already.
That and I truly don’t see a sequel coming anytime soon cus the game to me is still so much fun and I could keep playing it. If anything I could see a sequel in the next two years, but at this rate it’s not going to happen. Seriously man FighterZ is one of the best or arguably the best Dragon Ball game ever and I agree it’s better than Xenoverse and it’s crazy how they’re still supporting that game after all these years. Like how and why not just make Xenoverse 3 already 😂.
Dang. No rollback date or nothing. Very bittersweet feelings for fighterz and bandai rn...guess we'll just have to see what rollback is like. I don't think it alone will save the game, but it'll definitely be better for online matches and all that.
My opinion on it is the support did show through. Considering the fact that super could be returning and all the new movie characters coming out of the works along with a WHOLE NEW SERIES OF CONSOLES. I know nobody has hope for a FighterZ 2 but it’s honestly such a smart decision from a company perspective. The hype for the game is still so real so more or less I would not be surprised if they really were gonna make a sequel. Guilty gear updates have slowed so arcsys has gotta be cooking.
maybe I’m too hopeful
Thats nice and all but this is Bandai we talking about. They don't do smart otherwise dbfz wouldn't be getting left in the dust like this
Guilty gear updates are actually speeding up! We are seeing the next character between March and April, and then the final character of the season in May
@@sammydray5919 you’re not wrong on that I suppose. I like to remain hopeful though. I mean hey maybe with the release of db sparking zero they’ll realize that the hype for these games can be intensely positive who knows.
@@zacharyhansen8250 Oh dang man I was wrongly informed. 😔
Welp waiting another 10 years for the roll back net code to be implemented. That really disappointing while I never got the chance to try the rollback in dbzfi know from the community this is something we wanted forever
Damn the whole no music discussion video hits hard
That's a great point and definitely a reoccurring issue with a lot of games selling well then nothing. That's it.
Dead Space Remake, Devil May Cry 5, Bloodborne, Tony Hawk 1+2, Mega Man, etc. And it starts to become a "I've had enough of your shit" situation when we've bought damn near everything we can to support it OR they just don't release anything to support.
Bro; even those of us that play Xenoverse 2 want them to move on, been waiting on that sequel longer than we even knew Sparking Zero was a thing lol
I feel ya there Lotus. Sure everyone is playing this game everyday, but I'm sure there is so much more people that are just waiting for rollback like me to have a more fun time with the game. Fighterz dev fumbled.
Eh, my expectations were pretty much non-existent and maybe it's because I'm looking at this more as "It's 6+ year old Fighting Game" rather then a "Massively successful DB game", so I guess, aside from Rollback, I'm expecting nothing at this point, as is usually the case with most FG's that are this old
That being said, you make a very solid point about more not being done with DBFZ despite how massively successful it was when other DB games are still seeing continued support despite their age. I also totally get the annoyance/frustration with what was another "Annoucement of an annoucement"
Yeah but it was similarly successful to games like SFV and Tekken 7 which got support for WAY longer
Its so crazy that we couldn't get SUPER Dragon Ball FighterZ as a sequel with more characters, costumes, stages. and rollback....
I miss this game so much i played it since 2018 jan 26 and it still one of the best fighting games that i ever played
The fact that Xenoverse 2 is still getting so much life support is infuriating.
Even though I play The Breakers more now then I ever played FighterZ it is so frustrating to watch good games get snuffed due to circumstance.
FighterZ players are so passionate and supportive too they don't deserve this for sure.
If only they had made the Breakers FTP on release instead it would have been better recieved.
It's a shame neither of them got any love or recognition at Battle Hour.
cry.
Ik we wanted it sooner but “death” is an overstatement
He’s a content creator. Their job is too blow things over the top for views
Not really.. they’ve been pushing back rollback for years.. it doesn’t matter whether he’s a content creator or you are just a gamer.. both sides hasn’t gotten anything new and now you definitely don’t know when you’ll get anything new
Even tho I don't play the game I can kinda understand waiting for so long for just rollback is crazy and for fighters player to get another announcement of "keep waiting guys rollback will drop" but with no release date or nothing since the announcement of it up untill now
It does suck that they had nothing concrete to showcase at the World Tour of all events since you'd think _the_ event dedicated to Dragon Ball games would have something exciting for DBFZ, and I really do wish we at least got an estimate if a specific date is too much to ask for, like the end of February or March. Personally, though, I'll be naive and trust what the guy on stage (Flow I think is his name) is saying about it being "sooner than we think". Outside of some lobby issues and graphical bugs, the rollback itself felt pretty much complete since it felt like other games with rollback from what I could tell, so they should be fairly close with the heavy work out of the way. I'm assuming they're just hung up on the console versions since it seems like they're aiming for a simultaneous release for the PS5 and Xbox; since they didn't get a beta, they're likely bug testing on the consoles themselves.
I've got no proof on that, and only hindsight will tell us if it actually was "very soon" when it finally comes out or if it took too long again. They do have a habit of releasing actual updates very close to their announcement (the rollback beta was within the week of UFA where it was announced, and the last 2 patches were effective like the immediate day after they were announced), so they're likely holding off of making any statements until it's right at our doorstep. Not the way I'd like to be given announcements, I'd rather be told when they're 30 minutes away rather than 30 seconds, but that seems to be how they do things.
---
I agree with Lotus on the whole DBFZ2 thing; I don't know what is up with so many people entertaining the idea when there's been nothing that even suggests it (there's an annoying amount of "DBFZ2 prediction/wishlist" threads in the community). If anything, the fact they're going through all this effort into updating this 6 year old game implies the opposite, where they're looking to maintain DBFZ as it is in the long term instead of releasing a sequel.
As for new content, yeah, it's actually kinda depressing that there also isn't even a hint that they might release new DLC for the game. On the development side of things, I recall seeing someone mention that ArcSys turned it over to Bandai Namco after their job was done, meaning Bamco has to take charge of developing and coding it themselves if they wanted to add new stuff and it isn't as easy for them as it would've been for ArcSys. I don't know how true that is, though; maybe ArcSys is still in charge of the actual development work under Bamco's direction and there was no turning over of the game's files or end-of-contract agreement at all, so feel free to disregard that claim.
On the other side of things with publishing/licensing, they might be avoiding any manga-specific content such as Moro, Granolah, and Ultra Ego, likely because they want to stay in line with the anime. Again, I have no proof on that, maybe they don't have some kind of weird corporate rule where they're not allowed to adapt anything from the manga before the anime does and I'm just throwing guesses out, so feel free to disregard this claim as well, especially since it doesn't explain why they can't do Beast Gohan or Orange Piccolo. It also doesn't explain the lack of legacy characters like Majin Vegeta nor additional costumes, stages, etc.
If Bamco has taken over its explains a lot for the last balance patches
@@TheCoachTexYeah, either that, or ArcSys is handling development but Bamco tells them what to do and what direction to take. Again, I can't provide any proof on that, I only recall reading a comment either here on RUclips or on Reddit a while back, so it's speculation at best on my end.
it's most likely that earliest the rollback will come after evo JP, and it's just a test bed for the evo announcement of DBFZ2
I think it boils down to resources. Keep in mind that Fighterz is a phenomenal game both gameplay and graphics. And the lengths and depths to make it the way it is must be a lot to do. Maybe making newer stages, costumes, and characters must be a lot to do.
Damn I'm hoping whatever it is they're doing for the update brings extra content, not dlc but maybe extra game modes or settings.
As much as I love this game I gotta admit it’s definitely one of those games that I can’t play all of the time because of how intense the ranked online matches can be. It’s much easier for me to relax when I play other games like XV2 & Kakarot. Not sure if this is a factor or not but just my thoughts. Sometimes I wish they would focus a bit more on the offline experience but ik it’s really not that type of game either so I get it. 🤷♂️
Not to be super negative but I feel that even if or when they finally release rollback it’s too little too late for me. The direction the games gone and this constant lack of anything, it just isn’t enjoying. With that said I don’t wanna knock anyone who still enjoys it or anything, more power to you. It’s just a real shame to see this happen to a great game. Also if anyone does have hope, why? I’d genuinely like to hear some thoughts.
I lost hope for the game during the fusion meta during 2022. And that year's EVO was the last of my enjoyment for dbfz. I have kept up with the updates to see where the game has gone since then and it only makes me more sad that they keep making the game more of a circus than it already is. And the constant toe dipping with the rollback announcements has made my patience run dry. Even if it comes around and is fully functioning, they already missed their window. Now I play Granblue and having a grand ol' time
Same. The game is not enjoyable for me anymore. They ruined it for me with the “see? This is content” patches when they acted like they still care and just changed the game into umvc3 nonsense.
Yep all good things come to an end. Some of the greatest games I played never got a sequel and some of the worst do. It is strange but then again all things in life sometimes comes and goes randomly. I remember going to the midnight release at my mall and somemany DB fans banded together. This game was so good respected fighting game players recognized it and most of them weren't even DB fans. That was special and the fact Bandai hasn't pulled the plug XV2 is baffling. Then again in the past 7 years, DB has been in a state of moving forward and not moving at all at the same time for awhile.
The fact that a whole new feature length dragon ball movie came and went almost a year and a half ago and there are no traces of it in this wildly successful dragon ball game just blows my mind. Think of the money they could have made off of dlc for beast gohan, the gammas, orange piccolo. To say nothing of how there are still only day-1 stages and there haven't even been any new costume color packs since what, late 2020? It's just a shame. Hurts to see a game this good with this much potential just get...abandoned.
welp looks like street fighter 6 will remain my main fighting game for the time being *sigh* And to your point about us being grateful, I honestly think we have all demonstrated how grateful we are, because a lot of us still play this game at times even in the current state that it's in. So this is a giant slap in the face for all of us. Glad I didn't take the time out of my weekend to watch this bs now.
The the longer they wait for this rollback update the more it's going to hurt when they don't drop anymore dlc, some people still believe it's happening just because it's taking so long
I agree with the sentiment that ArcSys just did not plan for this game to be more than a flash in the pan and then dip out. Strive similarly did way better than they thought and they had to throw together another season. Still considering how successful both games were how hard would it be to reinvest into making more content? Its not like more stages or costumes wouldn't be a massive return on investment. Don't know if they simply lack the capacity to produce any but with the amount of cash they are swimming in now it should be feasible to do something more for this game.
Could almost bet any amount if they released alternate costumes like SSJ4 Skins (already in game from SSJ4 Gogeta's intro) it would sell just as much if not more compared to Xenoverse 2 when on sale
Sparking Zero could drop this year. The announcement trailer was 1 month ago and if you look at the amount of time between announcement and release for previous DB games, it’s hardly ever beyond 7-8 months.
We didn’t get a date but the announcement trailers never provide dates. They do provide a year though so maybe.
Raging blast 2 was so slept on
Even if they weren't going to add characters, some stages would've been nice. Although lack of costumes I get, cause of how Arcsys animates it's more difficult.
My thoughts were like at least we will get rollback bare minimum and a bit of me was like maybe fighterz 2, with a lot of copium but now I'm just sad. I was at work just thinking about it the whole day and for me to come home and see this just makes me sigh.
My Favorite mode was raid boss battles. But I hate it's a limited event. I wish I could just play it anytime I want.
Expectations were at zero and I'm still disappointed
I remember reading a comment under a vid regarding Sparking Zero that got me thinking about things differently. The comment more or less suggested that the reason why Xenoverse 2 still gets content whilst FighterZ is more or less stagnant atm may be due to licensing. According to said comment Bandai is obligated to release Dragon Ball content annually or they risk losing the license for it, this is why for a while there were what seemed to be a bunch of mediocre rushed Dragon Ball games because 1 year for development is nowhere near enough. Xenoverse 2 presented them with an opportunity that's sort of like a loophole in a way. By making DLC for Xenoverse 2 it would count towards their annual release thus allowing them to keep the IP and subsequently put more time and eventually resources into other games with what money XV2 brought in.
Obviously there's no way to know how true this is really but if you think about it what Dragon Ball games have released since XV2? I think that part of the reason why FighterZ isn't getting the type of support XV2 is may be due to the fact that the games themselves serve very different purposes. XV2 is for Dragon Ball fans, FighterZ is for the people who are Dragon Ball fans who wanted an "actual fighting game". The audience and money structures are therefore completely different, XV2 makes its money off of DLC whilst FighterZ is based around it being a fighting game and as such has sponsored tournaments and events. Sure FighterZ has DLC but when compared to XV2 the contents of the DLC mean different things entirely, for FighterZ DLC = a new character, that's more or less what it boils down to and that's fine cause its a fighting game. XV2 however is different in that its DLC = new character, new clothes, new accessories, new skills, new transformations, new super souls, new parallel quests, new story quests, new raids, new stages, new loading screens etc.
Despite all of that being the case for XV2 DLC its probably easier to make due to it being something that doesn't need to be balanced for competitive play, look at how the FighterZ community blew up in outrage at Lab Coat 21 being too good, its no wonder why they decided to stop trying to add more characters to FighterZ. At this point either they release a character that's good and people complain that they are too good, release a character that isn't good and people complain that the character isn't good or release a character that's somewhere in the middle and have people complain that the character is boring. Either way they can't win by adding more characters so why bother adding more and instead just change what's already in game, look at how much the game has changed since they stopped adding characters. Meanwhile in XV2 it doesn't matter if they release a strong character because at this point unless its completely broken it still won't be stronger than the core characters that XV2 is based around: CaCs, XV2 has always been about your created character so balance has always been on the back burner to a certain extent.
At the end of the day one of the biggest factors that could be why the support differs the way it does for DLC between XV2 and FighterZ is that in FighterZ the main gameplay aspect is you fighting against people. Whereas XV2 is more about you fighting with people and because of this people are more likely to spend money on DLC that gives them more things to do with people.
The only plausible reason i could think of, is that it takes way more to create dlc, stages, costumes etc for dbfz than xv2 or other games. But even then, its like damn you mean i cant get one stage or a new dramatic finish or nothing, while xv2 get all this. *shrug* idk
realistically it could be Arc system. Arc System loves Guilty Gear, that's their main game, even if Fighterz is more successful, they love guilty gear, they put so much effort in and are still releasing characters. I know at the time it wasn't as necessary, but Guilty Gear Strive literally released with amazing rollback and really nice graphics, also some crazy trailers. That's how I see it being an issue from Arc Sys. It could easily also be Bandai though because they are the ones who get to chose characters making it as DLC and stuff
They are a business and businesses love money more than anything else
The ones that don't go under quickly
Idk dude , the most disappointing thing about this whole ordeal . If this was about the game not making constant revenue,all they had to do was take a page from granblue and put a battle pass with skins and player buy it ,I know I would . Just sad
It is really is crazy to me how they are treating one of the best anime games of the century and with such a strong supporting fanbase. It's really unfortunate too because FighterZ has very high potential to go on for 10 years plus more!.....truly unfortunate. 😔
century is crazy😭but it was a great game
@@iqnegative3615 Lol I'd say century is right on the mark. I can't think of any other anime game that was majorly successful as FighterZ and had lasted as long as it did (besides XV2 and the Naruto Storm franchise).
If I had to rationalize and think about it I imagine rollback wants to be completed first before pursuing next steps (if there even are any). Implementing rollback in a nutshell is always described as remaking the game from scratch so making something "new" for it wouldn't make sense if they aren't finished and 100% comfortable with it. The only other thing I can think of is that ASW might just be too busy with GGST and GBVSR at the moment so it might be a bit unfair to compare support for other titles to DBFZ if its not the exact same companies working on them but the frustration is understandable. Theres probably other backend reasons but the only people who will really know are those involved and I'm sure their lips have to be sealed.
DBFZ has lived extremely long compared to various "new" fighters out there and the community commitment at least warrants transparency about "whats up" but also that can also be difficult if they have go through Toei about literally anything said about the game.
Tbh, yea it’s copium but I feel like fighterz does actually deserve a sequel, we’re missing a few characters and a few stages. At least that’s why I think it deserves at least a sequel.
The latest patch is sooooo Mickey Mouse I can’t believe anyway would still play it, especially without rollback. So many great fighting games coming out and they just refuse to give us a release date. If it’s really wraps for Dbfz I hope someday in the future we could get another competitive dragon ball fighting game at least
Word to the missing stages part. I feel like with new stages we could get new dramatics and everything. I feel like Blue Goku vs Golden Frieza is needed, yet they don’t have a stage
Even some if the pros hate the game now. And honestly the changes still twist my mind. Like we knew autocombo stuff was crazy when gt goku had his nerfed and they give it back and others the same ridiculousness and it just doesnt make sense for the direction of the game.
The disappointment is real 😭
So my theory is that part of the original team is working on a sequel, so the ones who are left are basically maintaining and trying to implement the rollback which is why they were saying that its gonna take time. 😅
Why would you bother wasting time doing all this work for rollback if your just making a sequel in the background that makes no sense.
@@calebnelson58 because it would be easier to import into the following game later when it's complete, but meanwhile the cash will still flow with less people managing the daily operations
I'm still ready for the rollback
That announcement was literally someone firing point blank on fighterZ
Cross compatibility would be dope
Rollback tomorrow Lotus!
‘very very soon, sooner than you all think’ been their favorite line with asked ‘when?’ for rollback 💀
Man
All I can say is pain
It’s downright dreadful that I can actually say it’s just another day as a fighterz fan
The fact that can be said is just awful like just
Man
I’m so upset bruh. It’s such a fun game and accessible to so many players
Can’t really feel the pain. Watched this game the entirety of its life span. Just started playing after rollback.
Thank god roll back is coming back. I encountered something I never want to again: a laggy hit. Can’t even access the gap that you can hit hit w/. When he’s using his big buttons. Like mashing vs his medium.
DBFZ could easily bring in more characters if they have the opportunity:
Gammas, dyspo, toppo, rest of the Pride troopers as 1.
Omega shenron, we only have 3 z movie villains. Booler, broly, janemba.
Manga villains would be good for a sequel. Where there’s actual costumes: cell saga juicy Tien, yardrat dripku, Badman vegeta. Base or ssj vegeta in Buu saga attire. Track suit gohan. Yamcha w/ the you r the father cut. Blue sayians w/ their correct attire. Bruh even XV got that 1 down.
Sequel might as well let everyone transform.
Makes me sad man makes me sad
I believe the release date for the pc and console versions is…2025. We will get more announcement of an announcement videos throughout this whole year🤷🏻♂️
They should’ve done a rev 2 version for fighterz or a soft reboot like update cause rollback is not enough to generate people coming back. They really shouldn’t even be making a ps5/series x/s version, put dev time into making a sequel.
No 😂 that's even more worse 😂😂
Unless it has a fighterz 2 on the way and that will take a while to come out
Majin vegeta vs ssj3 Goku finally also that roster is insane !!
Miras probably gonna be an added Sparking character meanwhil Fighterz getting left in the dark 😢
I think this is just an issue with Dragon Ball content in general. They really could’ve used this Battle Hour to elaborate more on Sparking Zero and Daima. And yet…nothing much was shown. The new trailer for Daima was pretty short and lacking, and the most productive conversation we had about it in the Battle Hour was about _Krillin’s fucking shirt._ The Sparking Zero trailer gave us some cool new visuals, introduced giant characters back, even gave us a solid number for the characters, then topped it all off with absolutely no release date.
It’s really strange how Dragon Ball content is at a point where it’s purposefully very mysterious. Which is fine, but there’s a point where it just gets annoying with how non-transparent they’re trying to be.
Most likely a director/producer issue, they make decisions that will make you scratch your head sometimes. Could possibly not like working under bandai, or could be a licensing issue between arcys. Its a mystery, it does suck tho. Xeno gets all these dlc characters, costumes and stage meanwhile this game is getting abandoned.
Yeah the money thing is what's getting to me. Like the most successful dragon ball game (from a numbers by time stand point excluding mobile in my opinion) is constantly getting the tail end of things. When we win we still lose. I stopped playing not to long ago and I probably still won't be back til rollback and that is sad to think about. R.I.P DBFZ
Lab coat 21 came out almost 2 years ago 😢
man u so right this sad bro i had so many good memories on this game bro
NOTI SQUADDD
We got an announcement... for an announcement
Ngl FighterZ inspires me to go to tekken 8, Sf6 or even kof15 like damn those 3 where younger games yet they have rollback netcode
After what happened last night I’m going full on the tekken train. I’m tired of Bandai treating this game like trash
I will buy anything this game will sell, You name it! Costumes, stages, characters, etc. Take my money! ( I'll even buy a different Goku)
Its getting harder to enjoy and play this game with no updated story, no new characters, no skins, no rollback and less serious players online.
Rollback will only keep people around for a few months and than we are back to same situation.
Lotus thanks for playing this game and supporting it. Really felt like I had a friend during this games rising, peak and downfall.
I’ll be real I didn’t even know they were even doing a next gen update for fighterz
They announced that back at EVO 2022
I feel like it might be a bandai x arcsys problem because isn't xenoverse 2 sparking zero dokkan and legends all done by dimps? That company has been making dragon ball games forever from what I remember meanwhile dimps has the resources to run 4 games at once apparently smh I'm still holding out hope though I haven't played since the announcement of roll back
Breakers might be done by dimps as well I'm not sure because I never played that game
Edit:I forgot about spike chunsoft and possibly Atari doing some of the other games as well Tenkaichi and raging blast being the main two spike made for whatever reason I completely blocked that they made those two because I only associate spike with Danganronpa now
I don't actively play FighterZ anymore, but the fact it's just getting tossed aside while other game are still getting updates is rather upsetting, I'm not gonna lie. I don't think you'll be able to make another FighterZ. It's like a one of a kind game. They could have least sent us off with another DLC package and the rollback. New stages. Costumes/colors. Something. I really wish we knew what the actual reason was for this decision and we may never know what that reason was.
The announcement of a no announcements to an announcement
Lotus imma need that shirt link my boy
I got it from Atsuko.com a few years ago. Not sure if they still sell it but go take a look!
It was a good run. As someone that grew up on Budokai 3 I’m honestly just grateful that we got DBFZ at all and that it was as good as it has been. It’s not something I ever thought I’d get. It also gives me hope that in the future another company will step in, look at how successful a 2D Dragon Ball fighting game can be, and give us another amazing experience. Thank you ArcSys !
Edit : I hope it gets emulated so that we can keep DBFZ alive for decades to come even when Bandai eventually cuts support altogether. It’s truly a gem and in my opinion the best DB fighting game of all time
im assuming its to avoid clashing with tekken? thats why i would atleast. but it sounds like there gonna keep updating it even after rollback which could be huge and if the game grows enough from the launch of this could mean more seasons? just my thoughts. obviously DBZ has a huge fanbase but releasing rollback with tekken being brand new seems risky
literally looking for reasons to start playing this game and it looks like I’m way too late😭😭
The fact that they won't be doing rollback on the old generation consoles is just sad, the majority of their playerbase is in there.
The crazy part is that they don't even have to make new characters for us to spend more money on this game. All they have to do is invest some resources in making alternative costumes, character skins (slap an ssj4 skin on ssj Goku and ssj Vegeta), couple new stages and a balance patch of some kind , and anyone who's still remotely interested in the game will gladly support it and jump back on. I mean they're already doing the hardest part, which is implementing rollback, so why do a bit more and properly revitalise the game (especially if they aren't planning to do a sequel)
my personal belief is that they (bandai) are putting more resources into these arena fighters over DBFZ because it is easier to make content for those kinds of games. They don't have to put as much effort into fleshing out (making them feel unique) or balancing characters in Arena fighters which makes it cheaper to produce. The budget mainly seems to go into the animations, not balancing. I'm no expert, but this is just my guess.
I think the two biggest things are how much lower the skill floor is in Xenoverse, on top of Arc-sys already having Guilty Gear Strive as their mainline/focused 2d fighter.
Is it fair? not really, Fighterz is really the only fighting game I still enjoy now lol. But I get it, sadly.
Still waiting for my One Piece Dragon ball Fighterz style game tbh. But gonna keep that dream locked in a crate lmfao
Maybe they are doing a part 2 and feel like they did everything with this one to focus on the second one
It really is crazy because this community would buy mf skin colors not even full cosmetic changes. I bet if ssj vegito hit the store right now it’ll sell crazy. And that’s extremely low effort compared to the stuff people been clamoring for like new stages etc. I mean I remember when the game came out people were wondering if we’d get dlc stages like the hyperbolic time chamber and that just never happened. It’s bizarre that they just refuse to further monetize the game when the player base clearly would purchase conten,t practically shouting take my money.
Makes sense tho. They know they could make more money with a sequel. It’s 6 years old with plenty of dlc
I’m sure to add characters you have to take balance into consideration. I’m so happy with the game and the state of the game. Xenoverse I’m sure it’s easy to add things it’s not competitive at all.
why you staring at me like that
I personally agree with your statement we should be great full. I personally think they should make a sequel at this point since they waited this long for roll back. I think that why they washing their hand because they using this game as a prototype for the sequel.
RIP DBFZ you were fun while it lasted. Sad to see you go.
Feels like there's been a spike in game developers/publishers coming out to say nothing. What for? We know they're working on rollback, why get our hopes up? There's definitely something being shifted behind the scenes, either a change in leadership or someone's calendar getting filled. Whatever it may be, I truly hope that video games, especially anime games, practice this less and less. Weekly/monthly updates are great, but please don't make a practice of this because this is how you lose support.
