"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

Well, until there IS a confirmed name, I'll go with Frost Demon. (Obviously that does create conflicts with Frost from Universe 6, but... meh.) I couldn't really bear to call it Frieza Race, but I would if you recommended it.

[ryou766]

Like I said, I don't care whichever term you use. Just wanted to point that out.

[Zenkashuu]

Someone from my network will likely be there. I'm not sure if we're getting another interview slot though.

Since there will be playable demo can we expect some gameplay footage?

Spoiler:

Offtopic: Are you a GAFmember?

Also, is Namek or Namekian proper? I usually prefer Namek, but sometimes it varies. Just curious if either one is the "correct" term or if it doesn't matter.

Yeah we'll try and get something if it's playable on the show floor. Otherwise I'm sure Bandai Namco will have some of their own uploaded as they released the E3 closed doors battle (Turles vs. Future Gohan).

And yes.

[Zenkashuu]

Cool, thanks for the answers.

Namekians are from Namek. Calling them "Nameks" is like calling the Saiyan race "Saiyas".

[Anime Kitten]

Guess that makes sense, but more like calling the Saiyans "Vegetas" or "Plants".

I'm probably one of the rare people who doesn't want Saiyans getting multiple forms. It'd discourage other people form using other races due to favoritism. If they had all the forms from SSJ-SSJB, then the other races will feel lesser. I'd have honestly kept it at just SSJ, but if they stick with SSJ2 as well fine. I want each race to have a similar amount of forms and perks. If we stuck with just two.

Humans: Kaio-Ken and Unlocked Potential
Nameks: Red eyed thingy and perhaps a scaled down giant form that grants greater tanking ability.
Majin: A pure form that isn't just Kid Boo like it was in DBO and maybe some absorption like thing.
Freeza: A Final Form and Golden Form.
Saiyans: SSJ and SSJB.

I think that keeps it small. Remember power levels mean nothing in the video games, so I don't think the latter 2 choices are much of an issue.

I agree with this and I don't. Part of me would like to have all Saiyan and Frieza Race forms and the other part doesn't. I would like to turn into all forms but I don't see the point of having SSJ to SSJ3 when you have SSJ4 or SSJB or having Third form when you can just use the final form.
Also I think hidden potential and kaioken should be transformations for each race. Humans could get Unlocked Potential and Super Kaioken or High Tension or Full Power, while Namekians could get a buff form like the one Piccolo used in filler against Garlic Jr. and a Giant Form, that or Super Namekian, but I can't think on something special for them TBH

Thanks for linking my interview
We got to see a bit of the game in action as well, including the hub which is really massive now. The new gameplay additions sound great too... I just wish we would have been able to play it ourselves.

You're welcome. You mean create our own being in the game? Maybe this time will be possible in Human class if they really increased the options to customize. But not expect it to be like The Sims or whatever.

[Anime Kitten]

Speaking of which, raise your hand(s) if you want Garlic Jr. in the game.

*raises hands, grows another pair or two and raises those*

You really want to increase the numbers of your posts, don't you?

[Anime Kitten]

Nah, I'm just hyped for this game. Like, really hyped. I have a lot to say. Like how much I want certain things here and there to be put in.

Oh I just meant that the game was not playable to us at E3. In fact Bandai Namco didn't have a proper booth this year and Xenoverse 2 was shown in a closed doors theater experience as well as interview times.

[ryou766]

No. SSJ Satan, then we'll talk about maybe including Garlic Jr.

...fine. SSJ Hercule with a tail then.

If we have less forms, it'll mean we can have more variations of the individual forms. Have too many SSJ forms, and that means either less hair styles, or everything is recoloured again like it was last time. With just SSJ/SSJB, they can get away with a recolour, and save time on creating new dews. That way we can have base and SSJ/B be different looking.

I think Kaio-Ken and UP should be sacrificed for humans just so everyone gets a unique state. A Super Kaio-Ken and perhaps exclusive Potential Unleashed state that Gohan had only would be fine I guess.

Nah I am now convinced that Nameks must have removed weighted clothing as that sounds so awesome and hilarious, and a scaled down giant form that's meant to tank hits.

TBH I want Super Saiyan God much more than Blue.

Still right with you on this.

What? Not really. The Namekian race is Namekku-seijin and Saiyans are Saiya-jin, not Bejita-seijin or Puranto-seijin. It wasn't applicable to the example.

[Grimlock]

I see. That was sure weird, I was expecting to see some gameplay purely because of the booths, but from everyone who recorded there I didn't see any of it so I guessed there wouldn't be any booth.

They really want to keep XV2 as much as possible in secret to reveal when they feel like it.
