"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

[Spenzer]

Aaagh the wait for news is killing me!
I hope Rhymestyle uploads it today, I have finals tomorrow.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

You're probably out of luck. I doubt he has anything to upload yet, and meant he'll be recording gameplay at E3 when it opens Tuesday (presuming it is indeed on the show floor).

[Grimlock]

I think Xenoverse 2 might appear during Microsoft or Sony conference, both are today.

I don't really see why "slots" matter in this type of game. In the coding, GT Trunks was just an alternate costume for Future Trunks, but they gave him his own slot. Nothing about the separation actually changed anything though. Whether he was a slot or a costume, he's still in the game and it wasn't going to change how he plays or anything.

I'd still rather they kept him on the same slot, to me it feels dishonest listing him as a separate character when he fits the "variation" system so well.

It would make the roster look a lot neater if things were organized consistently, which goes a long way to presentation in my opinion.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I agree to an extent. I would have preferred if they had condensed some of the character forms into the same slot with the system they had implemented (all of Freeza forms, Cell forms, SSG Goku, SSGSS Goku and Vegeta), but most of the actual characters that were separate, like the Future/GT Trunks example above or pretty much any Gohans, are different enough characters that I'd prefer them being their own slot. It lets you know at face value, in plain view, who is in the game. Really though, it's not important enough that I'd care to complain about it.

I'm not even sure this is worth discussing for right now anyway. It's likely less than 24 hours until could be getting a look at the game in action. If they've overhauled the character system, as I feel they need to do, this would probably be a pointless discussion. Honestly, we need to go back to the Raging Blast system where we can mix and match costumes and skill sets (a couple of preset options at the beginning, but customizable). I wanna play as Super Saiyan Vegeta in the Saiyan Arc outfit. Not fair that the computer can. =P

That's one of my pet peeves actually, if you're going to have them be different slots, thus different characters, I expect their fighting styles to change and not remain the same, if it's going to simply be a pallete swap, have him in the same slot as normal Trunks.

Or they could do just this, it would make me a happy fan.

When's the XV2 footage? It's 17:26 here.

When's the XV2 footage? It's 17:26 here.

Probably sometime within the next few hours and we'll probably get a trailer as well.

[Zenkashuu]

If gameplay is not the main focus again, I will just rent it. I don't care about rosters, CaS, story etc.

One more day.

[Chuquita]

My biggest hope for X2 is they remove the "clothing gives you stats" thing. There were so many different pieces of clothing I liked, but didn't use because they had awful stats.

I really don't think we'll see anything at the Xbox or Sony conferences today. Bandai Namco usually saves their information for things like Dragon Ball for their own stuff. Though, I don't think they're having a stream or anything...? So we probably won't get information till the floor opens on Tuesday.

[Captain Strawberry]

I hope so. I really want to see some footage from Rhymestyle.


Yeah, they will very most likely remove stats on clothes. It was one of the biggest feedbacks up there.


Gameplay yeah but I just want reaaaaaaaally good A.I better or as good as Burst limit.

Yeeeeesssss, I so agree! And too many clothes boost and lower the same stats. You can't find exactly what you want without worrying about stats.

This.

I was never a fan of the stats for each sets of clothing. I'd rather wear what I want without having to worry over how the stats would effect my character, negatively or positively.

Also, I've heard from the grapevine that we will be permitted to transfer our characters from XV1 onto XV2, is this true? If so, I wonder if levels come along with it.

[Captain Strawberry]

How much... longer??

[sintzu]

Bandai are currently showing Tekken 7 at Microsoft's conference so they might show DB at Sony's.

Probably, considering the game is PS4 only in Japan.

[Grimlock]

But since XV2 is due to release for Microsoft in United States, it still might appear at any time now.

[Anime Kitten]

Haha... I like this whole almost play-by-play like what you did with the original version of this thread, with Fly Through Time. And yes, that was before I made a Kanzenshuu account.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Yes, Bandai Namco has a presence in these conferences with things like Tekken or something like Soulcalibur, but there's a clear difference between IPs like those and stuff like Dragon Ball. I can't stop you guys from hoping for it if you want to (I wouldn't mind something showing up), but I would at least suggest that you don't expect it and set yourself up for disappointment.
