"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

Black must be a DLC for XV2. No questions asked.

They said characters often take 7 months a piece to make. If they are smart and start working on them NOW and we get Cabba, Frost, and Hit for U6 DLC, we MIGHT get DLC with Black near the end of next year.

That's true, for unique characters. But just like in Smash, clones take up a lot less development time and a number of Super's new character at this point could basically be alternate costumes that use similar fighting styles and maybe some unique Supers/Ultimates.

Beerus = Champa
Whis = Vados
Freeza = Frost
Future Trunks = Future Trunks
Goku = Black

Zamasu is a mystery still, so that leaves you with Hit, Cabba, Magetta and Botamo for confirmed fighters. If you want to include Tagoma and Shisami, the two of them barely do anything to develop a real fighting style. You could probably get away with using Ginyu as a base for Tagoma (with a different idle pose) regardless of if he's body swapped or not, and tweak Reacoom a bit for Shisami or something.

Other than the characters that have the most coolest movesets like Janemba, Cooler and Gogeta. I'm interested, in seeing how they handle Champa and how different he will be from Beerus. I'd at least want different attack moves or the same attack moves but they are animated differently. Champa's ultimate should have him be out of breath and maybe not make him be able to fly lol.

Someone knows the release date and when it will be a pre-order?

A specific release date has not been announced for any territory.

Cool!(er).

To clarify I'm basically asking if the gameplay and battles have a lot of replay value to most. As in the characters are different and not all fights are the same/too easy.

Xenoverse 1 has almost endless replayability, between the story, PQs, Masters (and MQs), customs, and just plain ol' battles (offline and online). Like I said, if you bought it, I can almost guarantee you wouldn't regret it. So I say get it.

Stop it, guys! You're making way too much sense here. You might just start some agreements!

The current release window is winter 2016.

I hope we get more "artwork" like this, although I'd prefer 2D-style.

[Captain Strawberry]

Because of what I've heard from interpretations of scans, I'm really hoping Cooler is a good guy. It would be soooooo awesome.

[Grimlock]

What interpretations? Eh, I know Xenoverse is all about changing history, but I don't think personality will be changed.

Unless we get Xeno Cooler.

When the picture of him arriving on the Exploding Namek, the caption Bandai put out along with it was ''An unexpected Protaganist Arrives'', which implies that for whatever reason, Cooler is on your side.

A Cooler from a different timeline wouldn't be a bad idea.

Btw, what's is Xeno Goku?

People can change. Idc for whatever reason, Cooler would make the best Anti-hero in DB.

I'm pretty sure Xeno is a term used in Dragon Ball Heroes for a Time Patroller. For example, Time Patrol Trunks is Xeno Trunks. The Xeno obviously comes from Xenoverse.

Here's a theory. Based on past material (and my memory), Coolers loves to fight strong opponents, seeing there is a crisis and there is lots of timelines than it gives him the opportunity to fight lots of strong opponents in different timelines so an endless possibility.

I really don't want them to pull a Frost.

[Anime Kitten]

I agree. Frost being evil ruined him for me (as I'm guessing a lot of other people too). A good guy villain would be a nice change of pace for the series; maybe XV2 will influence Super?

Wow, that's something I missed! So XV2 is going really far deeper into the story than we imagined! But I want some explanation on how and why Cooler changed personality/switched sides.

Not sure if I think we'll get one before or after the game's released... but we'll hopefully get some new stuff this week. I heard the Japan Expo, is it? is this week.

It would be good to have somone from Frieza's race who isn't a tyrant, though if Cooler is switching sides it will most likley be fore selfish reasons. "I can'tjust be the strongest warriro in the universe, I'll prove myself to be the strogest across time itself!"

Dude, that just sounds so epic.

How do clones/mimic characters make way too much sense?

I mean they're being reasonable with how we might get extra characters.
