"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

I'm liking that female Majin.
Also, the Saiyan armor seems to confirm Fasha will not be in the game.

Sorry to be the one who'll nitpick here, but Towa doesn't have anything to do with Time Breaker Bardock (although we do see an image of him with her here... ).

I hope they go Dragon Ball Online route (only a little longer), he must act up until Freeza saga with the mask and then we save him.

Isn't she the one who brainwashes him? I mean, I don't know the details of the storyline, but Mind Control did not seem to be in Mira's arsenal. He was created to fight and absorb power, Towa's the twisted and manipulative sourceress.

The mask itself is what keeps him brainwashed, hence why he breaks free in every adaptation once it's broken. Towa probably made the mask, but it is possible that enslaving Bardock was all Mira's choice and doing in DBO.

That said, Xenoverse isn't DBO. We've already had a story introducing us to Towa and Mira as a practically inseparable duo, so I would actually prefer if they don't retread the MMO's exact plot for this. It's fine to have Towa involved with the process and controlling him. Do what feels more natural for this story, rather than sticking too close to what once was.

No, in Dragon Ball Online, Mira is the one who made Bardock who he is solely saves and controls him through that mask.

Also, some better quality images. I hope Time Breaker Great Ape Bardock is in the Festival of Oozarus.

And I think Cell will absorb Lapis and Lazuli at once or he threw them up at once.

Ah, I didn't think that the pictures being bad quality would hide so many details...
Oh, that picture of Bardock catching Trunk's fist... Badass.

I have a bad feeling they're gonna skip Cell his Semi Perfect form because it looks like he is ready to absorb 18 and 17 at the same time!

Does anyone actually want that form? Honest question. Because I wouldn't mind at all if it was excluded.

What kind of question is that? I rather him than No. 16, 19 and 20 combined. I'm sure plenty want him.

I know people like it. I was just wondering who on this thread. I agree, I don't really want #16 or #19 that much, but #20 would actually be pretty cool.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

That form of Cell may not make an appearance in the story, but if they are including Cell's first imperfect state this time, I'd be a bit surprised if it wasn't included at all since we were told there's some level of history changing allowed after beating the game.

Here is a video with close ups of the new scan in better quality: https://youtu.be/tY8IaD9caLE

That shot of Imperfect Cell makes me afraid that he's only going to be in a cutscene just like in the first game.
Also Towa using her regular design instead of Dark Towa makes me sad.

Same here. I also have a feeling they'll let him skip his Semi Perfect form by absorbing 17 and 18 at the same time, which is sad to me. Its sad that we have to worry about basic characters who play a major role in the anime to be in the game.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Also Towa using her regular design instead of Dark Towa makes me sad.

To be fair, they've already explained that Super content won't be in because it didn't air until they had finished the bulk of the planning for development, and Dark Towa was released well after that aired.

Maybe they were able to work it in so she and Mira transform near the climax or something. But if they weren't, I'd prefer that they hold off for DLC or the sequel rather than just create the model and swap it with the current one (similar to what they're doing for Trunks and Black). I'd like an in-universe story reason for the change, since Heroes rarely gives us anything.

[nato25]

Unfortunately as the years go on and more 'must be in the game main characters' are introduced such as beerus and whis this might become more common. But I'm all for new characters I guess but I'm also for completeness even if ill barely use second stage cell.

I was hoping that the design was originally made for Xenoverse 2 and they just put it in Heroes ahead of time.

Didn't Dimps develop heroes as well?

Didn't Dimps develop heroes as well?

Supposedly. I'm not sure if anything has stated it bluntly? But it seems like them. That doesn't mean it would be the same team within Dimps working on each game though. There would have been plenty of Xeno content being worked on in prep for the God Mission series, yet almost none of it made it into Xenoverse, like Masked Bardock, even though he was our first tease into that content.

Wasn't the old Heroes models basically taken right from Budokai 3?

Yeah, they are. But those models have been used in the arcade games for almost a decade now, if not longer. It could technically be a different developer reusing those same assets. Though it's probably just some sub division of Dimps.

[MatrixChap]

They better give a story reason or climactic transformation, since otherwise it'll be nice and confusing like GT.

When you say "Super content" you mean elements through the story mode or characters available to play?
