I'd have to agree. If they were going to go with her adult height, that would be the one I'd prefer.

I rather fancy her with blue skin, as well. Maybe it's just how she's drawn, but she looks more like a classic Toriyama design than ever there.

I don't mind her adult form. Makes me think of Washu from Tenchi Muyo! She only used her younger form because that's how she wanted to feel and for others to treat her that way, as sort of escape from the pain she had while as an adult. The pain she felt when her husband took their child from her and left her. So Washu took on a younger form and acted more childish and selfish to run away from the pain she had of being abandoned by her husband and being told she couldn't see her son again.

Of course, Tika (yes I'm still calling Chronoa that, so shut it) may not have that kind of background, but I can see her just avoiding appearing as an adult because keeping a young appearance just makes her feel better, more energetic and just have more fun. She is the Kai of Time after all. I don't doubt she could take a form more suited to that role when it's required of her. Perhaps even making a reason why she doesn't use her adult form is a way of conserving her energy. Koenma did it in YYH. Maya Natsume did it in Tenjou Tenge. And I'm sure it's been replicated in many other series as well.

So of Tika comes in and can transform into an adult, I'd still like it. Maybe make a joke of it by having her go through a full Magical Girl transformation routine complete with magic star rod and streamers.

Andrew Chandler voiced Cooler in DBZ: Battle of Z, which was released two years ago. It's a safe bet he'll be back to voice him in this game.

I don't think that's Toriyama since his lines are much thicker nowadays (ever since he started drawing his art digitally around 15 years ago), so I take it that was drawn by Yamamuro.

No idea. Definitely not Toriyama, because it's not his style and the text outright mentions that they reaches these designs under his supervision, not that he drew them. Doesn't look like Yamamuro that much either. I'm going to presume it was someone at Namco Bandai or Dimps until otherwise stated, because they go completely unnamed in the text from when Herms skimmed it for me a while back.

So the game letting us choose a path of good and evil in the story mode ain't hype enough for yall? Man come on! :lol:

It's a good thing because that way, the fanservice won't be shoved up into the player's face(this is coming from a pervert BTW 8) ). Say, what you've asked reminds me of a discussion of female costumes in Mortal Kombat X being modest instead of being revealing in MK9.

I don't get why the creators say that this will be weaker for those that played XV1 when it seems to be already doing much more with the story then XV1 did.

I think they may refer to some of its writing in the story, as the what-ifs may not be that suprising, and if so, then oh well.

Indeed. Adding movies villains and new methods to fix the story is a step ahead from the first game, not back. I didn't get why they said that but clearly XV2 is bigger and better.

Because nothing has outright been said about that? There have been very minor hints that it's a possibility, but for the most part it seems like fans jumping to conclusions. We don't know why our player could be the one changing history and we don't know why we'd infiltrate Freeza's army, but it's always a possibility that we're just trying to lure out the bad guys with the former or blend in until an opportune moment to strike with the latter.

Because we're probably mostly playing the exact same story mode with these additions sprinkled in. For those of us who played XV, we already have the gist of what's going to happen, thus it's not all that new or fresh as an entirely new plotline would be (for example Towa and Mira returning and doing something completely different with opening the Hell gates, like in Heroes or something).

That would be nice extra story, maybe post-game or DLC. Either way I'd really like to see Super Mira and Darkness Towa.

Considering how they seem to be the main antagonists of XV2, it's likely that we'll see them.

Well, but that's expected, isn't? I never thought they could come up with an original story, of course it would be fixing story in similar way to the first game. I mean, every Dragon Ball game did that, it is the same thing over and over, with little to none addition in the story mode. XV2 expand it by bringing the movies and can explore things that we didn't imagine and maybe even revealing some good information.

I really hope we get an original Arc/Saga like the Demigra one in XV. That's where they could implement SM and DT.

THANK YOU STEAM SUMMER SALE. I can get Xenoverse for PC for 20 bucks with all the bells and whistles. Then have that carry over to Xenoverse 2.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
