"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

[Lord Beerus]

Sounds like we're getting an Aoki version of Cha-La Head-Cha-La, probably as the game's theme song? Kinda wish we'd go back to having new ones.

I did make a post about this last month and I did state that if that was going to be the main theme for Xenoverse 2 that nobody should be surprised.

I remember him being mentioned as being involved with the game and being included as an NPC, but anything about specific songs just never stuck with me.

[Kaboom]

And here I was foolishly hoping we'd get a new version of We Gotta Power for the game's theme song instead.

[Grimlock]

Maybe the intro itself will have lots of nice images/sequences/stills, which might compensate the possible reuse of the song.

[Lord Beerus]

And here I was foolishly hoping we'd get a new version of We Gotta Power for the game's theme song instead.

Oh, don't worry Kaboom. We Gotta Power... to mute the freaking TV when the opening of Xenoverse 2 comes on, because I'm bloody sick and tired of remixed versions of that damn song. I mean, I love Cha La Head Cha La, but for God's sake, give us something different.

[EXBadguy]

Cha-la again? Why? I was hoping for them to put in Chozettsu Dynamic instead. I hope the North American copies get a replacement track for the opening whether if it's original or from the game's soundtrack. It worked well with the first two Tenkaichi games.

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

Head Cha La?... again?!? What is this, the fourth time in a row? Where's the love for We Gotta Power, Hero: Song of Hope, Chozetsu Dynamic or literally anything but Head Cha La. I'm getting so sick of this song.

Oh boy more dislikes coming my way lol.

I'm actually surprised they're not using Chozetsu Dynamic but I guess it's easier to just use what they already have.

[Nickolaidas]

Actually, I didn't mind the Chala in Xeno's intro as much as I minded:

1) The horrible, HORRIBLE animation and art

2) The utterly horrible mix of music of and picture - the editing was just horrible. There were parts where the music was going wild and the screen just shown a warrior standing still or something.

As far as the hundreds of characters, it's obviously a lie, or they're taking into account the hundred different custom characters you can make or something. There's no WAY, even with transformations, that this game will have 200+ characters

Okay, some others which could also be in the game:

91) ChiChi
92) Master Roshi
93) Master Shen
94) Tao Pai Pai
95) Tamboorine
96) Kid Goku
97) Cymbal
98) Upa
99) Grampa Gohan
100) Evil Spirit Henchman Baba #4

So we have 100 slots by virtually putting every DBZ fighter there was in the TV show, a bunch of their transformations from Super, and some of the cast from DB.

Let's assume that there are another 30 characters from Super (a show which I haven't watched, nor do I intend to). These 30 include Beerus, Whis, and the parallel universe bullshit cast like black Goku, Frost, and the like.

We're now in 130 characters, including DBZ (TV), DB (TV), and DB Super.

Now, let's check the movies, where my knowledge is also lacking

01) Garlic Jr
02) Garlic Jr Transformed
03) Dr Wheelo
04) Turles
05) Slug
06) Slug Young
07) Cooler
08) Super Cooler
09) Metal Cooler
10) #13
11) #14
12) #15
13) Super 13
14) Janemba
15) Super Janemba
16) Brolly
17) SSJ Broly
18) LSSJ Broly
19) Bio Broly
20) Bojack
21) Super Bojack

At this point, my knowledge in names is limited, so I'll harry it up

22-25) Garlic's Henchmen
26-28) Cooler's Henchmen
29-32) Turles' Henchmen
33-36) Slug's Henchmen
37-39) Dr Wheelo's Henchmen
40-50) Movie Characters I have no current knowledge of

We are now in a total of 180 characters which is currently 95% of everyone worth mentioning in DBZ (TV & Movies), Super, those worth fighting in DB, and with Yajirobe (which I forgot) we're in 181. Cell Jrs bring us also to 182.

182 characters, counting transformations and about 50-60 characters which we know in our hearts there's no chance in hell that they'll be in.

So, no, it's not hundreds of characters.

[Rinsankajugin]

It may be a stretch, but maybe (if they're back) they're talking as if variations are separate characters.

Even with DLC, the first Xenoverse game had 58 characters (66 with CAC), BUT if you counted every character's variations as separate characters, the amount of characters raises up to 164 (228 with CAC).

If that's the case, they should be ashamed of themselves for playing with words so cheaply.

Mortal Kombat X had TRUE variations, and not once did Ed Boon say "This Mortal Kombat is going to have over 60 characters!" without at least specifying what he meant.

As far as the hundreds of characters, it's obviously a lie, or they're taking into account the hundred different custom characters you can make or something.

Is this official or just a rumor ?

[Nickolaidas]

It's based on what was written on a XV2 poster in a Otacon Spanish presentation, or something.

[desu]

I'll translate both images' text since my native language is Spanish:
[spoiler][/spoiler]
DRAGON BALL® XENOVERSE 2 redoubles the bet of the succesful DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE. As it counts with completely improved action, adventure and gameplay, XENOVERSE 2 will have place in a new city and will count with hundreds of characters from the animated series and movies of DRAGON BALL.

My thoughts: They show every new playable character, including Majin Vegeta and Metal Cooler, this reopens the chances of Garlic Jr and Dr. Wheelo being in the game, since we don't know their roles in the story yet. They also didn't mention the OVAs, except if with animated movies they also mean OVAs, if that was the case, then maybe will get Hatchiyack, Tarble... but I think it's unlikely.

[spoiler][/spoiler]
BE THE HERO - BIGGER AND MORE DETAILED PERSONALIZATION
Personalize your battle style!
·Add your favourite type of Ki attacks
·Depending of your skill level, the power of each move changes!
The yellow text also says: A lot of our clothing pieces!

My thoughts: The yellow text is shown with different images, which have Majuub, Bulma and Whis' lipstick, Bora. I can't see the rest of images, sorry, but it looks like Videl is there too... So maybe that means we have her hair. This means probably we'll get Majuub's clothes and lipstick, but that doesn't confirm Majuub as playable.

I could translate the rest of images if you guys want, but it doesn't say anything new except how DJ Steve Aoki's parter works and what does in the game. They also explain crearly what Day 1 Edition includes and what Deluxe edition includes, and Black Goku or Tao Pai Pai's pillar isn't included...

It may be a stretch, but maybe (if they're back) they're talking as if variations are separate characters.

Even with DLC, the first Xenoverse game had 58 characters (66 with CAC), BUT if you counted every character's variations as separate characters, the amount of characters raises up to 164 (228 with CAC).

Well, at least if it includes 59 characters with CAC (not counting costumes), then that means we would at least get over 100 real characters (not costumes or variations).

They are talking Spanish, so they aren't from Italy and for the accent I can say that they aren't from Spain either. I'm not really interested on seeing the full video, but in the begining the presenter says "What's up, Santiago?" so I assume that it's in Chile.

[Nickolaidas]

@desu: Kudos for the translations, appreciate it.

EDIT: If you guys want a quick translation from something in Greek, I'm your man.

The franchise doesn't even have enough characters to reach that.

The 1st game had 58 so 80-90 seems a lot more reasonable.

XENOVERSE 2 will have place in a new city and will count with hundreds of characters from the animated series and movies of DRAGON BALL.

Thanks a lot for this.

Either someone misunderstood something or that includes the non playable characters like Bulma.

[TL18]

Two blurry images telling us infinitely more than a official half hour stream from Namco Bandai.

Namco Bandai, step it up.

This, just this. I get not wanting to reveal much, but the pace they go at is ridiculous.

What are those photos from? Some kind of event?

It's from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMTUpFT_HZw

So that event was in something called Festigames held in Chille.
I think Majin Vegeta and Meta Cooler have a much higher chance of being playable considering that their pictures are around everyone who are confirmed playable. And I agree with Kanassa. I don't think Majuub will be playable(maybe just Uub). He's around the CaC and (although blurry and blocked by two people ) the text that's on there says "Montones de nuevas piezas de vestimenta!" Which basically says "tons of new clothing pieces!" and also new customizable options like:
-Face paint (Bora pic underneath a CaC
-lipstick (Whis and Bulma(?) pic)
-new hairstyles (Videl with pigtails)
Now the picture below Videl is split.
The top half looks like a Namekian wearing Chiaotzu's hat, but it's way too blurry to tell. The picture below that one is also a Namekian but he's wearing the outfit Piccolo wore when he went to driving school.
Then you have Majuub, I think that you could wear his outfit, but I'm not too sure.
And on the other side, it's basically talking about how you can change the way you fight. And it shows Master Roshi with Goku and Krillin, so Ima assume he's going to be a Master this time.
Then in the top right corner, it looks like Frieza near a healing machine using his Ki with some creepy purple dude (more than likely a Frieza solder) popping his head out..But anyway, after that, they just tell us everything we already know, nothing new. Interesting nonetheless
