If Xenoverse 2 happens... (About Custom Characters)

[Zelvin]

The original DB story can work for XV. The time breakers could go back in time by giving the whole RR Army, Akkuman, Piccolo Daiamo and 23rd Piccolo a dark power up by using Demigra' Dark Magic. They could even have Android 8000 from the future be sent to the past to kill Goku, #8 and your OC for a story line.

Thing is, Towa and Mira don't care as much about changing history as they do stealing energy to break the seal on the Demon Realm. If Towa wanted to change things and if she really cared about Dabura, she'd have interfered and prevented Buu from killing him. Still think Towa and Mira should be antagonists in XV2, but I also feel we need another driving force. Something that really skews the flow of time.

Like, say, a group of rogue Time Patrollers. Those who're so convinced they need to protect history from evil, that they will alter history by eliminating threats before they do harm. Such as, perhaps, going back 5million years and killing Bibidi before he finds Kid Buu and unleashes that terror on the universe. Or killing the Namekian who'd split into Kami and King Piccolo to stop the latter from terrorizing the Earth. This opens up the possibility of diverging time and creating new, fractured alternate timelines. Which can allow them to add in the other movie events and characters to flesh out the roster, add new attacks, and give us more to go with.

And, I would hope, we'd have more Race options as well to go with this.

Spoiler:

What would you say for connecting GT storyline in possible sequel? I'm not sure if original DB story would fit as long as we have our characters transfer from XV to XV2. I mean - one kick and the whole Red Ribbon Army is dead. Or they can just create a whole new story which would be nice anyway.

I also think Dragon Ball would work for XV2 and I hope we get to see some part of it if there is a sequel, just because XV exhausted all routes through Z and I think we'd get a game much sooner than when Super would be completed.

To REALLY mix things up to balance out the powers, I think the CC should start out as children (like in Dragon Ball Online) -- maybe through some form of dark magic or a wish from the Dragon Balls by the Time Breakers? Have this effect their Battle Power as well -- eventually coming to a part of the main story where you can wish your character back into adult. This was kind of the basis of DBO, except you wish for your adulthood there, not wish to be BACK into it.

There's so many nods to DBO and the original Dragon Ball in XV1, I can't see how they wouldn't incorporate something more into a sequel? (Time Patroller Trunks, Towa, Mira for DBO -- the outfit options for DB). At least, that's my opinion.

However, I think Dragon Ball's lack of popularity over Z would prevent the game being centered around that area (not from me personally, anyway). BUT -- a few missions surrounding the bigger fights in Dragon Ball would be fun to engage in and being able to use characters like Piccolo Daimao, Mecha piloted Pilaf Gang, etc.

Your other characters already can go through the story mode again. Just go back to the Time Kaioshin's vault thingy, and you can go through it as often as you want. As for the PQ's, you can just, you know, not do the higher level ones if you don't think they should be available for low level characters.

As it stands now, you have total freedom over whether or not new characters need to go through story mode or not. You get to set the limits yourself, rather than the game doing it for you.

We know that. But it's just boring and takes you of the story in a way. You don't feel like you're important with your next character. You're just point-clicking a mission, and not having it progress on its own through the story in a continuous, connected battle and scenes. It's just "well this is done, back to the select menu and do the next one." and then you just skip a few because you didn't particularly like them and all personal challenge and progression is just lost.
