Just Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a good title for me.

Bandai has to release a game every year and seeing as how it took them years to get the franchise's reputation back to what it was,I doubt they're going to take a chance with a new studio and game that could undo what XV did so chances are XVII will be announced in this week's V jump with a 2016 release date.

Another thing is XV is a proven name so with the franchise getting a new series this year and probably a movie next year they're going to want to take advantage of that and what better way to do so then with a sequel to a game that sold like crazy and everyone loves ?

Keep in mind that making a sequel to XV is a lot cheaper then hiring a new company to build a new game from the ground up.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

It was a simple joke to line the title's roman numerals up with the year yet again. It wasn't a serious statement.

Anyway, the next game, whatever it may be, very well could be announced within the week. Dragon Ball isn't Call of Duty or anything, so it would be in bad taste for them to announce a sequel before the last DLC pack is released in my opinion. That doesn't mean it won't happen though. On the other hand, they're supposed to release a console game every fiscal year and the second pack, as well as the upcoming third, are being released in 2015. Despite technically being part of Xenoverse, maybe that's enough content to serve as a stall like the HD Budokai collection. Only time will tell what's going to happen.

Depending on when Xenoverse 2 comes out would be when I would do Super or the DBZ movies.

If Super is done by 2017 and XV 2 is coming out in 2017 then go for Super, if not and XV 2 is coming in 2016 then do the movies and let Super finish up.

As I want dimps to get as much time as possible for XV 2 I suggest give the spike fans their Tenkachi HD port so make Xenoverse as big as possible,

I hope that there will be less or non-existant RNG. I didn't even finish training with all the masters and just stopped playing the game.

I would love Xenoverse 2 be a direct continuation of Online, where you will get the open future world with Namekian and Majin villages,
like in Online (Skyrim-like). Because Toki Toki City got old after 30 minutes of playing and you can do virtually nothing here and discarding menu (Story mode, Battle, Options etc.) and instead running slowly around hub
where everything takes ages to load pisses me off. To get all the costumes and attacks, I have to grind as hell, which is more boring and impossible than any Final Fantasy game!!!!
It would be awesome to go around the globe, doing missions (like stop the Red Pants army General from attacking a village) for which you will get reward, that is not RnG, but Lunch's costume for example or some attack.
That will make the game fun, instead of engaging in mission that has you fighting someone with overloaded stats and after 15 sweaty minutes, you have 20% chance of getting Gogeta's pants for example. If not, than good luck again.

Storywise, gameplay (fighting) -wise and with regards to roster, it's a great game, but everything else in the long term is not that good.
Budokai Tenkaichi 3 offered me a lot more in-game. This game tends to be little overrated thanks to that every other game since XBOX 360/PS3 was cash-grab cheap.

But still, Xenoverse is a good Dragon Ball game.

I'm on board with less-to-none RNG, or a further toned down RNG for just some things, an expanded overworld with more things to do that isn't just a menu and the ability to look the way I want, without having to worry about stats. (Which they can do, without taking away the equipment system)

Also, being able to equip multiple accessories, like in Ultimate Butouden. PLEASE.

If, the next time I pay for items, attacks and costumes, they don't make me have to unlock them, I'll be happy. I CANNOT stress this enough.

I like how everyone is already discussing a sequel when the game isn't even 6 months old yet. Lol.

Normally, a sequel isn't even discussed among a fanbase this often or seriously until about a year after the game is released. All the DLC Packs aren't even out yet. Seems a tad early to be discussing a sequel, especially for a game so online-heavy.

That's just part of Dragon Ball's traditional cycle. Games are announced around May, released around October. Rinse and repeat. So it's usually only around six months before our fandom has a sequel to talk about. Xenoverse is an exception.

Hey, the earlier ideas and fixes for the sequel are discussed, the better in my opinion.

I think DBZ Movies 1-13 can make good DLC packs if they Xenoverse 2 focus more elements from Dragon Ball Online like Time Breakers and Evil Bradock while cashing on Super. I think we need more pre-DBZ love in fighting games too. So pre-DBZ Dragon Ball would also make good DLC too.

What bullshit. :thumbdown:

And I honestly don't give two shits about the "Score Bonus" campaign, either. Nobody cares about the score you get in PQ's, unless you're a trophy/achievement hunter. The scores don't even matter when the RNG can still fuck you over even if you get a flawless 'Z' rank in the PQ's.

And even then there's no achievement for Z-ranking every mission so they're really just there.

Seriously? There's no trophy/achievement for Z-ranking every PQ? I'd though that kind of achievement would be bound to be in the game to increase the replay value of the PQ's. What a let down. :|
