Dragon Ball Sparking Zero has garnered significant praise since its early access launch, and with its full release, even more players have had the chance to experience the game. While the overall reception remains largely positive, some concerns have surfaced.
Specifically, players have voiced criticism regarding the game's promise of extensive customization options, only to discover that the offerings fall short of expectations. Let’s dive into the details and examine why players are feeling disappointed with the customization in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.
Players Voice Criticism Over Lack of Character Customization
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero has been immensely successful since its launch, and while some players are struggling with the game's difficulty, this is largely overshadowed by its overall quality. Unfortunately, one aspect that’s detracting from that quality is the limited cosmetic customization options.
On the r/SparkingZero subreddit, numerous threads are buzzing with players expressing disappointment over the customization features that were promised. The game had claimed that players could "customize every character in the game to make them fit your taste and playstyle," but this seems to have been an overstatement.
Many players have pointed out that the cosmetics are severely lacking. As one user commented, “80% of the characters have no outfits at all. Cell, Boo, Frieza, Raditz…” This sentiment was echoed by others who highlighted the villains' lack of customization options, with one player hoping for updates or DLCs to introduce more outfits: "The villains need more outfits, hopefully, they get some cool stuff in DLC or updates."
Another player noted, "Yeah, it’s not as great as it sounded on paper. No aura customization was a big bummer for me." Similarly, someone else added, “I’m disappointed we haven’t seen Hercule’s jetpack. I would’ve loved more goofy accessories—even if they didn’t make sense like Goten having a halo or a party hat."
While the lack of customization is evident, many players believe Bandai Namco will address this in future updates and DLCs. As one user put it, “Yeah, it took Xenoverse a while before we could customize the in-game characters, so I imagine the same thing might happen here." With at least three DLCs planned, it's likely more cosmetic options will be introduced in the future.
For now, the customization is limited, but more outfits, accessories, and other options will likely arrive in future updates. Fans will have to wait and see what Bandai Namco does next, with hopes that unique customizations for Sparking Zero are on the horizon.
