I wouldn't worry. It's just a teaser trailer so they use the default customizations for the time being

I'm just hoping it's fixed and we get Xenoverse 2 completely officially confirmed before I head out to see Civil War later. Otherwise it's gonna be nagging at the back of my head all day long.
You think that's bad... I'm hoping I get to see the news before I head to bed! I have work early tomorrow, why did the announcement have to be at this time?
Youch, that sucks. :lol: Hope you're still up to see it, cuz apparently, CONFIRMATION HAS BEEN HAD.

Holy crap, even with what little that trailer showed, I'm hype...even though, as expected, no PS3. I...I want...maybe PS4's will price drop a bit by the time this is out here, doubtful, but who knows. Again, if I'm not married by then.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Can I have a link to those ?

0:10 - Freeza race with the Ultimate F suit flying in the upper left.

0:17 - Saiyan/Human with one of the starting hairs from Xeno 1 flying around

0:19 - Races from the first game looking identical to the default looks of the first game.

...I don't recall seeing any glimpse or hint of Super's Future Trunks being around, but hey! I'm hopeful.

It's more of a teaser than a trailer, but holy hell - that overworld. Toki Toki City, is that you? Flying in the hub was something I craaaaaved in the first game. Movie characters (sorta?) confirmed with Slug's big ug mug, bahaha. I like that the default Time Patroller is (supposedly?) considered a hero. It's hard to make assumptions here.

One helluva press release! E3 can't come soon enough. I'm hyped. They done did it. Let's goooooooo Xenoverse 2!

Future Gohan being playable would be fantastic. Now if they can just have transformations last a bit longer, have the freeze race have a transformation or two and make the quest rewards not so random so you have to do it a dozen times. I think this could be the best DBZ game ever. I am just very curious what the story is since Demigra is gone if I recall correctly.

I hate to make major assumptions just off that short of a teaser, but I do kind of wonder if this is meant to be a sequel with you as a 'new character' even separate from the last game (outside of the ability to port your character maybe, if you already had Xenoverse on one of the current gen systems), just off of that hologram statue of him too. Like maybe you're supposed to follow in his footsteps.

And also totally not surprised to see movie characters making a big drop into this sequel. Actually, from a dub point of view, that'll prove interesting for Slug, as his only dub voice has been retired for a long while now. Wonder who they'll get?

I hope it isn't just the same plot as Xenoverse 1 but with the leftover movie battles.

I highly doubt it'll be the 'same' plot, but it will likely bear at least some similarities, in that you go from time period to time period, correcting problems.

If they allow porting well probably be able to pick one of our characters from the first game and they will be on the hologram instead of the premade one they used for the first game.

The game looks awesome! Loved the history of Trunks scene, that scene gave me chills when I first saw it in the movie, so it will be cool to revisit! Glad they are continuing the Xenoverse series, the first one was amazing and I really never lost interest.

Well being as you already did in the original game I'm concerned that this one is going to be the same except this time you'll go through the events of the movies.

That'd practically just make it the same kind of plot but going through the secondary material.

That's what I was thinking, yeah.

Of course, the nostalgic in me wants to literally play as my same created guy again, but if the story of it really works that way, I don't think I could make myself do that. I'd have to flat out make a brand new guy again.

Well, I told myself I was getting a PS4 when Mass Effect Andromeda was released...seeing as how that's in development hell, I suppose I'll get a PS4 when Xenoverse 2 gets released.

I really hope that we get TFS Popo as a voice to select

It could even be picking up where the first game left off since as mentioned above Towa and Mira are still around and the statue is just the fame the hero character received for saving history. Hell it could even be that now the previous hero character has taken up the role that Trunks had in the first game and he is there to help you.
