There was already a mod for that in Xenoverse 1, so I believe it's safe to say that we will get one for its sequel, too.

It's been confirmed a while ago that the clothing stats will be removed completely

Oh excellent I didn't know. I didn't see the point in them anyways to be honest. Hopefully we can get Black's clothes too in the game.

So, after bitching over on Twitter last night about not seeing Dabra in the game yet, Rhymestyle replied saying that he's been told the (Ex)Demon King isn't making the cut (potential DLC excluded)...

He's Towa's brother, the previous Demon King, and Chronoa even speculated last game that his death is what sparked her nefarious plots in XV. It was already annoying that he was excluded in the first game, but given that XV2 has been stated to be focusing on the theme of bonds (father and son, mentor and student, etc), this feels like yet another missed opportunity.

He is actually a very interesting character and a useful character to have. He should have been included somehow with this game and it would have been his best chance to be included in more than just the Buu stuff but I guess that is all out the window now. The dlc won't do it justice what could have been.

I saw that reply from Rhymestyle on Twitter last night too and was surprised and disappointed. Especially when you consider the fact that they've given lseer characters bigger roles. Doesn't make a whole lotta sense. And adding him via DLC won't mean anything unless they put a meaningful story behind it. But I agree, I think they dropped the ball on this particular detail.

I am curious how much of a role Turles and Slug will play in the story a part that could have been used for Dabura. I just don't see why they continue to get so much attention so I hope they have a massive powerup that allows for this attention they are receiving.

This too are exactly who I was referring to when I mentioned the increased roles for lesser characters. I am equally curious as to what their involvement in the overall story will be.

Yes because if they just show up for that one scene in namek and you kill them there it won't add up with all the marketing these two got. I have to assume there is more simply because we have the tree of might stage but you know what they say about assuming.

Let's have a moment to talk how Bardock is really going to shine in this game, which is something good since his role in XV1 was nothing to be exciting about... Just look at that GIF.

Do you guys think that his mask will break before the end of the story mode, and we're get to see more interactions between him with everyone else?

I'd say so. There's a chance of SSJ3 since Xeno Bardock wouldn't be hard to implement. Though it would be cool if it wasn't Bardock under the mask.

By the way, take a look at this:

Looks like a Villainous Mode Mira.

What? Obviously not. The Time Breaker state is the highlight of Bardock's character, and it must be unique.

Eh, I just found it slightly suspicious that a scan from a while back said "Just who is it under the mask...?" even though most people would know it's Bardock. But you're right, it should be unique.

Another by the way, I spotted a Time Breaker Omega Shenron at about ~2:35.

Actually, from the looks of it you double team em with Trunks, but they get away. The trailer having a shot of Trunks charging at Slug, but Slug just dissappearing before he can hit.

It would be awesome to have Bardock interact with Goku somehow even if it is while he is time breaker Bardock. I feel like this game is going to have a lot going on outside of the normal Raditz to Buu stuff. I mean we haven't even seen how our previous character is going to play a part in this through any of the trailers.

Xenoverse 2 will be from Garlic Jr? Raditz to Golden Freeza, though.

Just rewatched the trailer and did that great namekian look taller to anyone? In the other trailers they were normal about a head shorter the Oozaru Vegeta but this one looked about the same height.

Its that or from the way he was moving great namekians can also fly?!
