Ugh... I wish they would change the lighting on the Super Saiyan forms. I really hate that hard metallic look they gave the models with the heavy dark shadowing. Where as in the complete opposite to what I prefer with Spike's models is that they gave the Super Saiyan models and hair an enhanced glow around them. It irks be because you can barely see their faces, let alone their colours....

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

In DBO Majins could basically turn into the form of Kid Buu. Which gives more credit to my theory that Majins can tap the same mystical force that originally spawned Buu, and was mentioned in the show as to how it felt that Buu kept drawing on some bottomless well of dark power. I call it Dark Nexus, and would work more towards Majins having their own upgraded form instead of just sharing with the rest of the plebs. Not to turn into a Kid Buu, but to have their own distinctive aura and look that indicates they had increased their power.

Pure Boo was Boo's true form before he had absorbed the Grand Supreme Kaioshin and became overweight. All the Majins in DBO were essentially pieces of the original Boo that became its own race.

And the Majins in Xenoverse have the same backstory as per the NPC dialouges.

I really hope that you can find Dragon Balls better this time in XV2. Maybe you hunt for the Namek Dragon Balls as well similar in Tenkachi 3.

I just hope it's more of an adventure open world system like Budokai 3.

That's what I really want. I want to explore the Dragon Ball world. Go into cities, or deserted areas, or rural parts of the world and unlock all types of hidden battles or find other kinds of goodies, ala Dragon Universe in Budokai 3.

Been waiting for years for that one.

If we don't get it than hopefully as a free update or paid DLC

You're not fit to call yourself a Time Patroller. You should be banned and get stuck in the Crack of Time where Demigra was for 75 million of years.

I'd destroy civilians with another custom after my main. It'd be so fun and awesome! :P

Found more proof that there are more combos in the game, along with comboing into your stamina breaker moves. https://youtu.be/05DoKBkgR3M?t=54s (If you don't like to hear commentary, mute!)

Well I wouldn't call them "pieces" since their power has dwindled down to the point that they no longer have some of the original Buu's abilities. I think the race stabilized at some point so they no longer lose power through fission, but even in their Pure Majin form they are far from having the "true" power of the original Buu.

Wait... How are they going to explain Fusion Reborn and Revival of F working in the same continuity? Hell works differently in both movies and this isn't something that can be explained away with alternate timelines.

I believe it is mentioned that in the story, each of the villains in this one came from different timelines. So I believe either it'll be another Frieza from another timeline, or the Hell in the original timeline will be changed after Fusion Reborn.

It seems like GT and Movies 1-13 are from alternate timelines. So it seems like Towa and Mira are taking other characters from other timelines into the main timeline.

The only significant issue between the two versions is that Freeza has a body. But I'm not sure I'd even call that a problem or inconsistency, just something lacking an explanation. Afterall, what we see in the cocoon doesn't actually seem to be Freeza's body, or else there would be no reason for Shenlong to tell us he'll be revived in pieces when he's clearly all put together. It's possible that what we see is just Freeza's soul being given a quasi-physical form while within the cocoon for torture or whatever.

As for it looking different from Hell as established previously, we were told that previously that Hell has different blocks. So "contradictory" locations we see are just in different blocks of Hell.

Or, you know, since it's a game and there's not much reasons to create assets for the "F" Hell when it'll be uses for basically nothing, they could just not show it and ignore the whole issue. Pretend he's just a random soul floating in the Z version of the place.

From what RoF gave off, it seems as though everyone has their own personal Hell.

Okay so it seems the movie villains and allies(Tapion) are going to show around the time the sagas their movies took place, which seems like a good choice.

-Dr Wheelo

Frieza Saga
-Turles
-Lord Slug
-Cooler

Android Saga
