"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

[Jaetinh]

I will be so pissed if they exclude Chaozu as a playable character.

[Kanassa]

I think that since we're getting Meta Cooler, Mecha Frieza is likley, mostly because I'm betting that's where Meta Cooler will interfer with the timeline.

I am still PO that no Dragon Ball characters are in the game and they instead went with making Kid GT Goku a hybrid. Seriously, why are the movie characters and GT given first dibs over the entire first half of Dragon Ball? I know Z is more popular, but give some love to the original. I would take King Piccolo over his poor man copy Lord Slug any day of the week. It would also expand the story mode outside of, playing to Raditz to the canon movies with some filler movie villains thrown in to make things interesting.

Say what you want, but Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT have a much bigger fan base than the original Dragon Ball series. It's because of this that Bandai willingly put in GT characters. That's not to say DB characters never will make it into the games, but this is a game looking to make the most money possible. And GT would allow them to make more money than the original Dragon Ball.

Also, the power scaling would make absolutely no sense when logically speaking Saiyan Saga Chaotzu would mop the floor with final DB Goku.

[Zenkashuu]

Your last sentence does not make any sense. It's a video game, power levels don't have place here.

I can still win Beerus with Saibamen.

The lack of the Cell, Frieza, and Buu forms is inexcusable. This is a Dragon Ball game in 2016. They should have been in the first one and now they're leaving them out of the second one too?! What the hell, Dimps!?

Because they arent really all that important? Do the additional forms add anything to the story? Only thing I could see actually needing to be included is Buu because the various absorbing stuff could lead to a interesting series of what ifs. Freeza and Cell really dont offer the possibilities that Buu does so excluding their extra forms really does no harm. Even in FNF Freeza skips his first 2 forms and I dont recall anyone crying about that.

They're new forms meaning more characters to play as. I can sort of let Freeza and Cell's slide but not including Gohan Buu is just silly.

It's a video game. Things like that shouldn't matter too much. Yamcha was one of the best fighters in Infinite World and we knew full well it wasn't reflective of his skill in-universe nor does it mean that anyone can play him that well. I find that to be poor reasoning when development can adjust for balance. This assures you can potentially play well with anyone as they would want you to use every character. It's not often I hear advertisements try to sell their products by claiming there's plenty of characters, but it's only viable to use few of them.

I was honestly surprised that Mecha Freeza didn't make it into the first game while playing. Given that Freeza didn't have the option to transform, he could have easily just been an alternate costume for Freeza's fourth form the same way Saiyaman was for Gohan.

But then I got to the point where they had a model for base Gohan from the Cell Games already finished, and still didn't include him to be playable the extreeeeeemely little work that would have needed to be done for that. As well as keeping Towa, Mira and Demigra off the roster (until DLC for the first two), despite two of them being finished characters you fought.

Nothing I can do but shrug at some of these decisions.

As far as I'm aware Towa, Mira and Demigra didn't actually have complete movesets, I could be wrong though.

I think that since we're getting Meta Cooler, Mecha Frieza is likley, mostly because I'm betting that's where Meta Cooler will interfer with the timeline.

Mecha Freeza showing up with an army of Meta Coolers sounds about right to me.

Demigra didn't, mods were able to bring him into the game as a fighter with his own intro and outro dialouge, but his moves are made specifically to be a boss. He doesn't even have an escape move.

I think that's actually a mission in Heroes.

I'll remember that when you're posting about the game in October.

So, who's everyone's #1 character they want in, excluding Super?

Hirudigarn.

Chaozu. Kaioshin would be good too.

Kaiō-shin of the East.

[EXBadguy]

I'd be a little annoyed if I see SSJ3 Goku using a Spirit Bomb though. With all of that power, the last thing I'd want to do is to rely on a planet to give energy. It wasn't like that in the Budokai games. Yeah, it's a video game, but come on, at least have some common sense on some parts.

A tie between Ledgic and Uub.

[TL18]

Tapion. Haven't played as him since Tenkaichi 3

[simtek34]

Kid Goku or Roshi/Chun

I agree with this as well. Those forms really don't bring much to the table. It would be nice to have as many CPU characters to pummel as possible, but not the hugest deal that they aren't in imo.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

After tonight's episode of Super Black better be getting that damn Ki sword.

That would be amazing. And obvi SSJR too.
