So can we now wait eagerly for Xenoverse 2!?

So can we now wait eagerly for Xenoverse 2!?

Hell, yeah! Just beef up the roster, change how the Super Saiyans transformations work and add a bit more freedom to designing the costumes and Xenoverse 2 would be awesome.

Hell, yeah! Just beef up the roster, completely redo the transformation and costumization system and add a bit more freedom to designing the costumes and Xenoverse 2 would be awesome.

FTFY

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Could someone explain me Broly's story?

Spoiler:

Like who gives him the Dark Aura if Demigra is dead and why does he encounter and fight Bardock. I'm really confused now by all of that.

Spoiler:

Bardock's story occurs in Age 737 and that thing's in Age 774, as you can see, Demigra is not dead at those points. Patrol Trunks even confirms it is indeed Demigra when Bardock is fighting that thing in Age 762 when they are sucked by a wormwhole to get there.

Spoiler:

Demigra existed outside the flow of time while he was trapped. Trunks' dialogue also clearly states that even though Demigra had been defeated, be must have set up magic that is continuing to screw up time even after his own unexpected death.

The roster is my only complaining. Man, it would be so awesome if all the important characters were there, like Majin Vegeta, Super Buu and his absortions and such. And I would like to see how Super Buu's absortions scene would work during the fight, could be cool. But on the other hand, I loved to see Great Saiyaman transforming, that was so unexpected, and for the first time ever, I am able to transform Son Gohan into his "Mystic mode" (not to mention I'll finally be able to play as Super Saiyan Bardock!). If these things appear in Xenoverse 2, along with what you said, I won't mind buying it too.

But now, the infamous question: Is Dragon Ball: Xenoverse truly the best Dragon Ball game we have nowadays!?

[Gyt Kaliba]

I don't want to get too specific into it, since 1) the first game's not even officially out here yet and 2) I likewise haven't even played it yet - not to mention that 3) I'm sure we'll have a thread about it too - but just off the top of my head, the most basic things I would want out of a sequel would be...

1) The usual polishing that would occur, as in shaping up the combat system even more, adding in more attacks for our custom characters to learn, adding in even more options for making said custom characters, etc.
2) Bulking up the roster, by adding in some Z characters that were skipped over, maybe even some more GT, definitely bringing in some more movie characters, and for once not completely ignoring Dragon Ball as well.
3) The most important thing though, is definitely the story. Craft a story that's at least half as engaging as what the story here seems to be, and I'm in.

[Lord Beerus]

But now, the infamous question: Is Dragon Ball: Xenoverse truly the best Dragon Ball game we have nowadays!?

Again, hell yeah!

But honestly, considering the garbage we've gotten from Spike and Artdink in the last 5 years, just having a competent Dragon Ball beat em, preferably 2D, would have made those games look even worse in comparison. The bar wasn't really set high to begin with. The PS3/Xbox era was a dark time for Dragon Ball games. None of the games produced during that are were good, excluding Burst Limit, which in my opinion is an underrated gem. Raging Blast 1 was mediocre, Raging Blast 2 was underwhelming, Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi was trash and Battle Of Z was just boring.

Xenoverse is most likely going to be the last hurrah for Dragon Ball games on last gen systems. And how fitting it would be since Dimps produced the first Dragon Ball game for the PS3/Xbox era and now they've most likely developed the last game for the PS3/Xbox era.

Burst Limit was great, fuck everybody else who thinks otherwise. The intro song too, I'd let the first sentence play then skip.

Watched it way too any times.

They most likely left out buus absorptions and frieza and cells transformation because they may have felt they would have needed to include it for character creation. Which ofcourse would have complicated that aspect of the game.

However i cannot understand why they left such a unique character like dabura out?

[Dyno]

Well, I didn't see any piece of Freeza's second and third form in the creation mode (Though I just may have missed something), and I didn't see anything Cell-related in it too. Yet, you can even use Super Saiyan's wig (even in Namek race) so... I didn't see the point of it being the reason for not include those forms (Cell's first form is seen during Story Mode, though).

Indeed. Even why, Dabura is

Spoiler:

Towa's brother

, he just couldn't be left out.

I meant include them as transformations.

now thats messed up, i hope they dont give him daburas moves as justification for leaving him out.

[Dyno]

We don't even know whether Trunks GT will be a new character or another variation of Future Trunks, or do we? It depends if they actually can bring them as transformations, rather than as new characters.

[Gyt Kaliba]

I'm still betting he'll (GT Trunks I mean) be a new costume for Future Trunks, since there's really not a whole lot different fighting style wise between them that we ever got to see, and there was one screenshot of GT Trunks wearing a sword, so...

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Mira is the guy, Towa is the girl.

People will be pissed when they found out they paid for a costume. He could work as an alternate character if his melee attacks focused more on punches/kicks than the sword, kinda like Armor Trunks in the Sparking games, but welp he's GT Trunks so who knows, hope he atleast gets his Kid variant rush move.

Ok cool.

They better have a good reason for leaving him out then.

That is why following "popular demand" is not something cool. In times like this... Even GT Son Goten would be way better. A whole new gameplay, though his techniques would be the same (unless they create something new, just like what happens in Dragon Ball Heroes).
By the way, Son Goten has an alternate variation, his techniques change as well and of course but I wonder where does it come from (Like Trunks, but his variation comes from Movie 10 or Movie 11, can't remember since its antagonist is a piece of shit, even to tolerate).

Trunks costume is from movie 10

Regarding a Xenoverse 2.

Transformations - Kaio-Ken becomes a exclusive for humans, Freeza's race gets a 5th form with parts determined by what outfit they have in their base state, Saiyans go up to SSJ4 or SSJG. They no longer function as a ult. They don't drain ki, but once the bar depletes (from super/ult usage), they revert to base and are locked out of Ki usage for a limited time.

Customization - Make it as good as Dragon's Dogma's character creator. Enough said. Also include Anthro-Earthlings, I must fight Beerus as a dogman in the ultimate battle of household pet superiority.

Training/Masters - Allow us to optionally adopt the movesets of our teachers once training is complete as Ultimate Tenkaichi allowed us.

General Gameplay - Put more emphasis on fighting 1v1 like the Budokai series and less about team fighting such as Tenkaichi Tag Team and BOZ. Many of the game's supers and ults seemed tailored form the start to be used in team fights, making them somewhat lackluster against single opponents .

Plot Ideas - Have Towa and Mira resume their original plan of destroying the time vault by interfering with time, but change up their methods by inserting some of the movie characters into the battle instead of possessing people. Have Tullece arrive with Vegeta and Nappa. Have Cooler and his squad on Namek along with his brother and the Ginyu force. Jinzoningen 13-15 awaken alongside 16-17, etc. Would answer a lot of roster complaints.

[BlazingBarrrager]

I don't even understand why we're talking about Xenoverse 2. Aside from continuing the plot, a lot of the issues you guys are talking about can be remedied through either patches or DLC. Seriously give the game some time to be out before thinking about a sequel.

Fanboyism much man? I mean we're not Goku for Kami's sake.
