"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

[EXBadguy]

So even after all those years of whatifs(Heroes) and semi-original stories(Xenoverse), some folks STILL want a faithful story from the main series? Nah, it's too late for that now.

[kbrooksgohan]

It's to late even though Super is happening RIGHT now? I don't get the logic. And tbh they have never fully recreated the battles from the anime on platform game. The old ps2 games had a lot of content missing.
It's never been done before. Not like Naruto. Xenoverse is the closest they've ever come to renacting the battles with the right costumes and stages etc.

[kbrooksgohan]

It's one big what if. So that means I have to be forced to use created characters???????? If I want an additional mode to play the whole series that's impossible? Lol this fanbase sometimes.

[TekTheNinja]

BlazingBarrrager I see thanks. But if Humans didn't have some sort of transformation like mystic, than it would be kinda unfair...

How is that unfair? Last I recall CaC humans in XV can take on all three GT villains, Lord Beerus and Whis, and a powered-up Broli and beat them hands down without a single transformation (hell the only time we see them exhausted is after the GT villain battle). Yeah the same applies to all CaC races, but that just proves my point even more. Outside of Super Saiyan and Kaio-Ken (which are entirely optional and have no impact) none of our CaCs had trouble taking on heroes/villains who had powers ranging into God tier in their base form. So yeah, pretty sure Humans will be fine without a transformation. Hell all the CaCs will be fine without one, even Saiyans.

Because from a balancing standpoint that would be outrageous.

If EVERY other race gets a transformation what would the Earthlings have to balance that out? They'd need SOMETHING special about them or else they'd be pretty much pointless. Besides, there's absolutely no reason for Earthlings to not be able to use Kaioken or Potential Unlock. Even in the first game every race could use those.


I think it would be really cool to get a buff transformation that raises your power greatly, but lowers your speed. It would be an all races thing probably because Frieza, Roshi, and Trunks have all done something similar. (Or maybe just Humans, Saiyans, and Frieza dudes?)

Yeah, that's "impossible" since the whole XV series was build around this idea. Play with your created character.

I mean it's too late to expect something like that when we have all of the new stuff going on, especially stuff to explore. Plus,they can just use Super as DLC.

It's never been done before. Not like Naruto.

Well, I'll be that guy and say "who cares, we have way better material than that game series now", cuz of Heroes and Xenoverse. Yes, the Storm games has a faithful story and all that, but most people know what's going to happen in the end, since they watched the anime and/or read the manga.

A mode like that would cost time, money, and resources. And if there is a mode like that, it would just be about the fights and little to no brief cutscenes. That's also another reason why I think it's too late to expect for a faithful story. The sole purpose of the game series is to fix history, explore never before seen places, and level up your character. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind them doing a mode for the faithful retelling and allthat, but it shouldn't be anything to crusade over anymore, since we have all of the new stuff. So if you don't like it when you're forced to use your characters in the story, then oh well.

Besides, does anybody wanna relive the original story for the trillionth time? I doubt that. When Xenoverse came out, I never saw people asking for the faithful retelling, unless you or anyone else saw some.

Hey guys...I've been without a console for a long time now just playing my 3DS. I want to know if this game alone is enough for a fan of the DB Universe to put down cash for as their "Main Game". Basically what I'm asking...I wont get bored of this game quickly will I? It looks like there are enough characters and content to get addicted but Id like to make sure....

This should probably be in the XV1 thread, but if you bought it I doubt you'd regret it.

I would buy it on PC, though.

I sure as heck don't we been playing the same story from Budokai 1 til Battle of Z(I didn't play Battle of Z). Enough is enough with the same old story. I'm glad they are allowing us to use created chars throughout the story. thats what make sit fresh and different.

[kbrooksgohan]

Your entitled to your opinions however to say the game has to only be ONE way is ridiculous. They can create another mode for another game. They already have the resources. It's not impossible. There are tons of Dbz fans who have different tastes. I doubt some of you actually know how the development actually works. Btw.....there are 73,000 likes and growing for the Raging Blast 3 project. Asking for a faithful story. So....yeah

Btw I'm not mad you'd all entitled to your opinions. And honestly. Not everything has been adapted in video game form from the DragonBall series.

Btw it's an optional feature suggestion and IT'S not a new feature. It's in Ultimate Tenkaichi.

Hard to say since we have no idea who you are and what you will/won't get bored with...

I liked it a lot, but wouldn't buy a console for it. If there were a few other things I wanted to play as well, I might buy a console then. That's just me, though - again, I have no idea what you like or whether or not a console purchase makes fiscal sense for you...

[Zelvin]

I think people are forgetting that Earthlings in Xenoverse were the most OP when setup decently as their ki regen with a ki regen item pretty much allows them to sustain Potential Unleashed indefinitely. Which is better than SSJ Spam. Heck, combo chains were much easier with an Earthling Female than any other race I played, and Frost Demons are still my favorite.

What I still find ridiculous is that KaioKen and Potential Unleashed were made for every race, but there were still super attacks and such that were Limited to specific races. Even stupid ones like "Saiyan Spirit" that had no reason to be limited to just Saiyans. Thing is, every race could have their own upgrades without breaking the game.

Earthlings get Potential Unleashed
Nameks have Super Namekian
Saiyans Get SSJ
Majins get Dark Nexus
Frost Demons get Final/Ultimate form and/or 100% Power

Dark Nexus is just what I call where Buu's power originated from. It had been noted that Buu's power felt bottomless as if drawing from some dark well. Given his magical nature, this would make sense. And is a better idea than just turning into Evil Kid Buu like in DBO. It gives them their own upgraded state by tapping more directly into the source of their mystical origin, which is tied to their race instead of just getting stamped with the same upgrades as Earthlings.

I just want the ability to play as a non-fat male Majin. Since Boo was only fat due to his absorbing Kaio's, I have no idea why they decided they all needed to be fat as their base form in the first game. They should've all started like kid Boo & gained the ability to absorb things to become fat/super Boo-looking.

This is most likely due to the fact the Majin race are essentially copies the same person - Boo.

That sounds interesting, may I have the source please if possible?

It's not "allowing" when it's forcing.

Besides, playing as CaC for the whole story got boring to me due to their lack of voice. Ultimate Tenkaichi did it correctly with voicing your created character for the entire story mode. Seeing them constantly move their hand to respond is just... weird.

Love your statement. It is forced. I like different options!

[Zelvin]

I believe Goku said it in the anime. Not sure about the manga. Been a long time since I watched the Buu Saga. But I believe it was said primarily as to why Buu never seemed to get weaker, no matter how much he was damaged or how many times he had to reconstitute himself, Buu's power never diminished. The only time Fat Buu grew exhausted was after being separated from Kid Buu, which can imply that KB was hoarding that power and that Fat Buu was cut off from it.

Even if these line reads aren't canon to the manga...it doesn't matter whatsoever, since Xenoverse isn't canon and already used non-canon material. Heck, Cell refers to the Freeza Race CaC as a Frost Demon, despite that term not being canon. Dark Nexus or Dark Well can be used as a means of giving Majins some kind of upgraded state without it being ridiculous or being wholly unknown. They are creatures created from magic millions of years ago, and the Majin are all the divisions/offspring of Mr. Buu and/or Ms. Buu, whom was also created by Mr. Buu to be his waifu. So it would make sense for them to all have a connection to the very thing that was the source of either their strength or the thing that spawned them to begin with.

[Captain Space]

So do we know exactly what the relation between the Time Patroller from the first game and the one from the second is gonna be? Mentor and student sorta thing?
