"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

[EXBadguy]

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.

Yeah, I agree on that. That was one of my gripes with the story mode as well. I was VERY disappointed that I didn't hear more of Takahata's voice in the story mode, it was all just silence. Hopefully in this one the CaCs will be able to talk just like how it was in the Jak series, where Jak didn't talk at all in the first one, while in the second one, he started talking.

And Dimps, PLEASE bring back that black/"cocky" voice actor from Ultimate Tenkaichi. That was one of my favorite voices in that game.

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.

I rather for them to use the resources for other creative game modes than a mode for the original story series, which very few will play. That's what made most of the PS2 DBZ games stand out. One story mode and many creative modes, modes that weren't that similar to their predecessors. For me, there just needs to be a mode similar to BT2 for the original cast to level up and that's it. No need for their story to do that.

Btw.....there are 73,000 likes and growing for the Raging Blast 3 project. Asking for a faithful story. So....yeah
.

I'm surprised Treevax still ain't giving up on that yet.

since Xenoverse isn't canon

Well, for me it is.

[Kanassa]

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?

Well, the creators said that the story has an enphisis on generations and the relationship between mentor and student, for examples they brought up Gohan and Trunks, then said 'The last Time Ptroler and you'. So I think so.

That does sound like it could make for a good story.

I do hope they elaborate these "old and new" relationships, maybe we can see Bardock and Goku finally interacting with each other outside Dragon Ball Minus.

I am surprised that Treevax's cult of RB3 is still a thing. I was interested in it one console generation ago and must say that even being a boring grindfest later, I've enjoyed Xenoverse tons more than Raging Blast 2 (collecting pictures anyone? And that was it?).

Also, I loved faithfull story in Saint Seiya Soldiers' Soul, because the anime never had a proper english release, just some obscure stuff with weird Chinese subs you would find on torrent and share sites, so that was welcome and I love to play the game sometimes just for story.
But I think, that the Xenoverse approach is the right one for a story mode in such oversaturated show. I've seen the show like 3 times completely in my life and played the story like 15 times since the SNES RPG's...
I want something fresh, I don't wanna see Gohan screaming again because of stomped 16, ''Kuririiiiin!''. I'd feel like this weird drooling geek without a girlfriend, if I had to play trough this routine again.

[BlazingBarrrager]

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

Okay first off Kaio-Ken and Unlocked Potential aren't race specific because anyone can use them since:
a) Kaio-Ken isn't even a transformation and the only reason Goku was able to use it because he was the only one who was taught the skill. DBO had it to where King Kai taught Humans and Namekians the skill while Majins copied it.
b) Again, Unlocked Potential isn't a transformation and can be applied to anyone because it's simply Elder Kaio-shin completely releasing the person's latent potential with an added buff. Anyone can get this buff regardless of their race.

Seriously I'm starting to sound like a broken record here. Transformations in XV had no impact whatsoever on the Future Warrior's progress through the story. Having a Saiyan without SSJ is no different than having an Earthling use Kaio-Ken. The end result is the same. Also why should each race have a transformation of there own simply because Saiyans got SSJ(2)? They're perfectly fine without them. Even Saiyans are fine with or without SSJ.
What was ridiculous was how the Future Warrior could use skills that would otherwise be impossible for them to do. Angry Shout? You're basically inflating your body then releasing smoke/gas/whatever out of places that you shouldn't even have. Majins obviously fit this, but every other race? It shouldn't be physically possible. XV2 needs to give each race more race-exclusive skills instead of handing nearly every possible skill from the main cast on a silver platter.

It's all superficial and based on everyone's expectation. With Dragon Ball Minus popularizing Bardock's good personality towards Goku, all their interactions between both of them might play out quite differently from all the other games.

BlazingBarrrager: I'm not saying you don't, but you seem to not want new forms very much. I completely understand what you're saying, but don't you want any new forms for our customs?

In case you don't know, Hulu has some or all of the original series and Crunchyroll in some regions has the whole thing plus a few spinoffs!

(sorry, off-topic but seemed worth bringing up)

Anyway...I actually do kinda wish XV2 would go crazy with the power-ups. Maybe the way Super's been playing around with the various forms recently has made me think that, I dunno.

Thanks for bringing that up, because I do know and guess what, it's not licensed in Czech Republic, so yeah, I can't watch it legally. Hades arc is even on Netflix, which I am subscribed to, but I can't watch that.
Anything else?

Black must be a DLC for XV2. No questions asked.

[Anime Kitten]

I second this. I just said that to my brother earlier.

[KentalSSJ6]

Black must be a DLC for XV2. No questions asked.

They said characters often take 7 months a piece to make. If they are smart and start working on them NOW and we get Cabba, Frost, and Hit for U6 DLC, we MIGHT get DLC with Black near the end of next year.

Nope.
Playing a Saiyan? SSJ is all I need.
Playing an Earthling or any other race? If Unlocked Potential returns, great. If not, still great because I have a second Ultimate attack to work with.
Seriously, as big of a fan I am for Super Saiyan (with SSJ3 being my favorite), I don't let that get in the way of enjoying a great game. Even making my Saiyan CaC based of my FC Saphi and just giving her SSJ is all I need to be satisfied. I want to enjoy the game with all it has to offer, not bitch about how all races need their own forms because Saiyans get SSJ. That's not a problem that needs priority in changing for XV2. That's just fanboyism whining about what they want specifically and not giving two craps about everyone else.

Dude. No one's saying that new forms are the most important thing or anything. We just think they'd be cool. Chill out.

Edit: Actually the only race I'll be kinda annoyed if they don't get a transformation is Frieza's race, since that supposed to be their main gimmick. I mean seriously, one of the names used for them is even "Changelings."

[Rinsankajugin]

From what I can gather, Earthlings do have their own transformations, it's just most of them appeared for like one chapter or episode in the series.

• Serious Power and Max Power: Master Roshi's buff transformations.
• Shapeshifting: Oolong and Pu'ar's transformation, can use it in group battles to disguise yourself.
• Balloon: A form Krillin used one time during a tournament, can use it to heighten defense but decrease speed.
• High Tension: Mr. Satan's transformation from the Budokai games, a slight power buff, but not as powerful as Roshi's.
• Giant Human: Annin's transformation, works like any other giant transformation.
• Super Human: Dragon Ball Online, unlocking the potent Saiyan blood in a human with a wish, stronger than a normal SSJ.

[GodKaio-Ken]

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.

Ha I put it in this one because I'd probably get it first even though it comes second.

To clarify I'm basically asking if the gameplay and battles have a lot of replay value to most. As in the characters are different and not all fights are the same/too easy.

I'll PM you so this thread doesn't get too derailed.
