"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

This time breaker character padding is ridiculous.

For those who wants to translate it.

Sub characters? I wonder if that just means people you can run into on the city map, or if it's some kind of support character system.

I'm also highly considering (even though I'm loathe to as money is an issue, not to mention the fact that my PS3 isn't even a year old yet) starting to set money aside from each paycheck to save for that new PS4 Pro that's coming out, solely for the 1 TB of data space. An extra $100 or so over the regular PS4 price for twice the space isn't too bad I don't think. And if I start now and can actually pull it off, then I should be able to have it an start playing Xenoverse 2 only like a week or two after it's release.

Roster is a bit disappointing, not sure if i'll be buying this game anymore.
Gonna play some PS2 games instead.

Sub Characters? I'm guessing those are like Z Assist characters?

74 characteres have been revealed:

Edit: There are still like 28 locked slots, so 74+28= 102 Characteres confirmed (?)

That isn't neccesarily real. Someone with decent photoshop skills and too much time on their hands could have faked it for kicks. Still, if it is real I'm dissapointed.

Guys, that's still like almost twice as many characters as what the first Xenoverse had. And if it's anything like the previous one (which it seems to be), you're going to spend almost the entire time working with your custom character anyway, so really the existing characters are just kinda there to get pummeled by you anyway, and to flesh out the story of the game itself. I'd love a BT3 insanely large roster too, but the rest of the game is what holds my interest the most now.

[Nejishiki]

Just seeing the tiny bits of the story pumps me up! Say... should we call the story Dragonball Online: Kai?

I don't think that's quite appropriate. Dragon Ball Xenoverse happens earlier in the timeline. You can't reasonably refresh accounts that haven't happened yet. Of course, it goes without saying it doesn't share continuity with Dragon Ball Online, unless you want to get creative.

Wasn't BT3's roster mostly big because it counted variations as different characters like Xenoverse does?

Kinda sorta. It's roster was pretty padded in that regard (I think we had like three different adult Goku's from what I recall), but it also had the benefit of giant characters still being playable, actually touching regular Dragon Ball a fair amount with it's roster, and the fact that it started scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of notable characters pretty hard. Though I guess some argument could be made that Raging Blast 2 would do that again.

Of course, while I call it scraping the bottom of the barrel, I wouldn't have minded at all to see some of the side-villains of the movies (like Cooler's Armored Squadron, Androids 14 and 15, and Bojack's gang for example) included in a game like this just to further flesh out the story of the character's appearances.

I don't think this is real either, but won't really trip too much if it's real. I personally do much more PvE and always like the additional villains to fight. But we have a year of support for this game and additional characters can and most likely will be added. I love a bug roster just as the next person as I like to make my own little stories within the game, but let's wait until we get official word before we jump to conclusions l.

Yeah, a lot of those characters shouldn't get their own slots like Saiyaman. Also, why is Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku it's own slot again instead of being treated as an alternative Super Saiyan, since that's basically what that form is. Super Saiyan God Goku should also be put into Goku's alternative slots.

And the lack of original Dragon Ball characters still burns me.

[Gyt Kaliba]

What in the hell is that below Yamcha? ...Is...Is that mind-controlled Yamcha? ...I'm getting bad flashbacks to how badass mind-controlled Mr. Satan actually was in the first game. This Yamcha's probably gonna wreck our shit.

No coverage of original Dragon Ball is what gets to me the most too. It's part of the franchise too dammit, there's gotta be some way to make it work in a game like this.

As far as movie characters go though, let's see...we've seen Turles, Slug, Cooler, Metal Cooler, Broly, and Janemba, but have we seen the likes of Garlic Jr., Dr. Wheelo, Bio-Broly, Bojack, or Hirudegarn at all yet?

[EXBadguy]

Oh who cares about the roster. Most of us are gonna be using our own characters anyway. I do hope for #13 and Tapion to appear though.

I really want Wheelo and Hirudegarn as giant bosses! Come on DIMPS, this is gift wrapped for you!

Why does PC get it later? D:

Since devs primarily make video games for living room consoles, they usually take time to tweak the PC version to make sure that it runs without any hiccups.

That's not the issue here.

I don't know anything about this specific case, I'm just telling how it usually is when porting console games to PC.

He's called Time Breaker Yamcha, I believe. Essentially they're Towa's new versions of Demigra's Villainous Mode. We've also seen the form for Golden Freeza, Metal Cooler, Broly, Super Perfect Cell, Kid Buu, Janemba, Super Yi Xing Long and, according to the leak, Mira.

[Nickolaidas]

Since Time Breaker Yamcha has his own slot, consider most locked characters being Time Breaker versions of already announced characters.

Time Breaker Freeza
Time Breaker Cell
Time Breaker Broly
Time Breaker Janemba
Time Breaker Boo
Time Breaker Mr Satan

And pretty sure lots others. In the end, the roster is disappointing, especially for a near-two-year-old development. Oh, well.

[Grimlock]

And no sign of Demigra, which is something good.

There's a slot to the right of Towa and below TB Mira. That would be the perfect place to put Demigra if he's in the game.
