Figured nothing new would be featured on the live stream, which is why I decided to call it a night. But yeah, last night's news was enough for me. I'm glad Goku's jacket will be available for customs to wear.

So outside of pre-order stuff (the physical items I mean), the main new news is that Goku Black is a pre-order bonus, pre-ordering also gives you access to Future Trunks from Super earlier on, and a ton of awesome new outfits (including Kuririn's cop outfit?!), is that right? Oh, and that Majin's are getting a transformation at least?

Even all of that is just enough to tell me I've definitely gotta pre-order it even if I can't play it right away. Holy crap.

Unfortunately, Future Trunks (Super) early access is not pre-order. It's the deluxe edition.

Also I'm not sure if those new outfits are a special edition only or just generally new.

Ah, my bad. But from what I've read, he's at least someone you'll unlock later on in the game even without that edition, right?

The outfits I'm betting are just generally new outfits you can get. I can't imagine them giving that many new outfits as a bonus. That and I'd imagine bonus outfits would be more like the ones we got in the first game, rather than outfits actually from the franchise.

I think so. As long as that's what "Early Access" means. :P

Ah, missed that exact wording, my bad. :P I'm playing catch-up, when I went to bed this thread was only on page 109, and we're already in the 120's now. When news breaks, it really breaks. :lol:

Same here, I was really behind when I checked. And I read every page. :P

I wonder what the female Pure Majin form will look like? I wish the male's face didn't look exactly like Kid Buu.

I'm gonna make a prediction and say that the transformation will look like Kid Buu no matter what gender you pick.

Honestly I was hoping that it'd be a Super form instead of a "pure" form, but it's not like I won't take it. The more races with transformations, the better the balance is. At least it should be. Freeza's race, namekians and humans still lack confirmed transformations, so that'll be interesting. I'm guessing Golden forms for the frost demons, but it's more difficult for the other two races, since they don't have transformations (not counting the giant namekian form). Kaio-ken and Potential Unlocked are for everyone, at least they were in the first game, so they've got no unique powerup. At least now saiyans aren't the only race with unique forms.

I'd be very surprised if at least Freeza's race isn't given a transformation mechanic - if they don't go all out and give us all the forms, they'll probably at least give us a 'Golden' one - and then if Humans and Namekians are left out in that regard, they'll probably be given something else in their playstyle or stats to make up for it.

Thinking about the vehicles for traveling the city and the fact that they're including Tao's pillar, I can't help but wonder what some other options in the game might be, since it might not all be traditional mechancial vehicles. I'd love if we could get the kintoun! Also for the hell of it, maybe that dinosaur thing that Goku and Bulma are riding in the original ending/manga chapter title page?

Ya know, this guy.

If won't be worth it unless we can teach it how to balance on a ball, then we can travel with it. :D

Speaking of Golden, players should be able to choose their own colors with that just as it was Freeza's choice to use gold.

Can we take a moment just to say how awesome even the cover art for XV2 is? It took many years to Dragon Ball games stop being such a boredom and also many years that the cover arts were "carnivalesque", full of colors and having random/lots of characters in them that, in many occasions, didn't make sense at all.

Now we have this masterpiece, only the protagonist in the front and two other characters there, smaller. The predominant color is white and the second one is grey, with black covering a small part of the art. How beautiful is that art? :clap:

I dunno if I'd call it a 'favorite' cover art, but I do like it better than the first game's cover. In a way it kinda harkens back to the Tenkaichi 2cover too. Whereas that one had the three different series at the time's versions of Goku showcased in Trunks' sword, kinda representing the flow of time, this one shows Bardock (where Goku came from) and Future Gohan (where Goku's bloodline led) in his shadow. It's a neat little trick, though between the two I think I'd side with Tenkaichi 2's take.

I'd be okay with that. They could just call it either a Colored form, or call it a "Golden" form and keep the word in quotation.

Apparently all races will have transformations (via Slaythe @ NeoGAF)
Was told all races Will get transformations this Time around.
So, that's neat I guess.

Not only is it the best cover, it's a great image in general.

Inbefore every race gets Potential Unlocked, unless they meant race exclusive transformations.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

Do we have anyone else confirming this? Usually we'd have many more outlets speaking about this by now.
