Dimps have stated several times that they welcome fan feedback. A user poll with several fans voting on what they want is a good way of letting Dimps know what fans want to see in the game.

Rhymestyle does get contacted by Bandai Namco from time to time. Him and a couple of other YouTubers were invited over for a private demo of Xenoverse 2.
I personally hate polls with predetermined priorities, because of how often lists usually skew things that others might feel are overlooked or trivial things that are turned into a "fan demand". I'd rather get SurveyMonkey thing like with Ultimate Tenkaichi and XV1 where you couldn't answer questions yourself to set your own personal requests.

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.

Producer recently said that recolouring oficial outfits has problems with their license or something similar. So we won't get color palet for all equipment.
As far as I know that wasn't from the producer, that was a friend of NeoGAF user Slaythe that told him that. We've already seen tons of recolored outfits though, Fasha's legs, Bardock's hands and feet, Cell arc Vegeta's top, 17's legs, and Kaio's top for example.
The licensing thing sounds like bull when we've seen other games to it.
My apologies, then. I wasn't trying to lie about that or anything. I mixed sources in my head.

Battle of z anyone? You could recolour any main cast members outfit to whatever you wanted.

I too am skeptic about the whole no color editing on original outfits. Considering both Ultimate Tenkaichi and Battle of Z allowed us to do this very thing. Yes those games were done by different devs and teams but it makes me wonder why a company like DIMPS would (assumingly) be unable to do this feature because of licensing issues while two other dev teams were able to.

Blech - too much going on with those outfits, imo. I really like the simple look of Goku's RoF & Piccolo Jr. fight gis.

I hope we get +100 parallel quests in this game. (Without DLC!)

This weekend we may get V Jump scans, I hope they contain some nice new reveals or info!

I asked about the Day One content in regards to the Deluxe & Collector's Editions for XV2. Either someone is clueless or we're getting gypped.

Also, they ignored my question about if/when Steam orders would go up.

I hope that person is clueless, that's messed up if we do not get Black.
If XV2 Collector's/Deluxe edition doesn't get the Black Pre-order bonus in the next few weeks I'm switching to the day one edition.

I couldn't agree more with this. One of the biggest issues with XV1 was that once you reached a certain level, there were only like 2 or 3 quests that were worth you while. I like playing people online, but I'm more of a PvE/Co-Op guy myself and the more PQs, the better.

Someone should ask Namco Bandai US about this.

I tweeted the email to both Gamestop and Bandai Namco's US account. I doubt I'll get a reply back though, because I never do. :lolno:

Yea, this is not okay if this is actually correct information.

At this point, just to be safe, I'm almost willing to cancel both special editions from Game Stop and just buy the Day 1 on Amazon + the Season Pass digitally from Game Stop, just so I know what I'm getting. (Yes, I pre-ordered both versions because I'm paranoid about these sorta things, lol .. was gonna cancel one once there was more clarity on it)

It'd be nice to play as Future Trunks from Super earlier but.. well, rather KNOW I have Goku Black since there's not much of a chance to be able to use him otherwise.

It has to be a mistake. There is no way in hell that the only way you can get Goku Black is by pre-ordering the base game and not the other two editions. That's just plain idiotic...

It's a good thing I'm going digital, this nonsense doesn't apply to me.

I feel the same way, but who really knows? I was tempted to call Game Stop tomorrow but then I read this and I know I'm going to get an answer similar to what Corpse got.

I don't know about the japanese or US version of the Xenoverse 2 Deluxe Edition, but here in Europe (or at least in Germany) we have the free preorder bonus with a "Playable Character from Dragon Ball Super" and "Tao Pai Pai Stick" (and there's nothing about limited quantities). It's basically the same "card" featuring Gokuu Black and the new Time Patroller on Tao Pai Pais pillar only with german text. And I'd be surprised if we get Gokuu Black in the EU but not in the US. It just wouldn't be fair.

The only downside: it says: "Erhältlich am 28. Oktober 2016", so we get it 3 days later. Too bad, my birthday is on October the 26th and I hoped to get it as a gift. Now I have to wait even longer. (I know, 3 days should be nothing, in theory, but the game looks just so awesome so far, I don't wanna wait any longer than necessary).

This is great information to know, because it seems like the US Deluxe Edition is the only one that isn't showing the pre-order bonus, so it's very confusing!

Thanks for relaying this information!! :thumbup:

Meh, I think ill wait for the 3rd rendition of this...or at least until this game cost 20-30 with all DLC or some shit...Besides the original hype of the first one, the game sucked after the fact. Couldn't even do the story co-op which it seems like this one is going the same way...so no...your not getting my money on this one, for another terribly made DBZ game that added a SSJ3 wig and palette swaps for the other races.

Also this hair style is so loose goosey like WTF? is the wind blowing?
