Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has finally been announced ladies and gentlemen! 

 

You can find the announcement trailer here;

 

That would also be fun, but getting a new perspective sounds nice too, especially if the old and new Patrollers are supposed to interact.

In one sense it's neat, but it's a lot of focus on pretty much multiple OCs for one person.

Again, it's not confirmed if they're actually going to interact, the first one is just going to be confirmed to exist in this story and will be juxtaposed against the new one theme wise, possible to help the whole inner conflict thing.

It is a lot of focus on that, but I like the idea of starting off as someone new. I feel like that would be more interesting than starting the game off as a hero that's already defeated all sorts of incredibly powerful foes. It would make the build-up feel more natural, at least.

Okay, let me correct myself: the idea of the two having some sort of connection story-wise, whether it's physical or just some sort of comparison.

If they have Takahata101 his supply his Nappa voice for CaC again, they have got to have him shout 'Ghost Nappa" when using Super Ghost Kamikaze attack. That was seriously a missed opportunity in the first one

Picking back up the topic of save data and character transfer:

 

 

According to this interview at around the 7:00 mark (which I totally missed for some reason and I apologize for that), the ability to transfer your XV1 character from your save data to XV2 is in fact possible. What is not confirmed however is if this process will work for transfer between last-gen and current-gen so for now we can only assume this is possible for save data for the PS4 and Xbone versions of the game.

 

EDIT: (6/30/16)

 

YouTube channel DBZanto Z uploaded a new video showing a new (untranslated) scan that reveals some minor new details regarding story.

 

The visuals suggest that a) Not only will Future Trunks and Chronoa the Supreme Kai of Time be returning, but Elder Kai may also play a larger role in the story as well and b) The player character will have some sort of quest or mission where they become a subordinate in Freeza's army, most likely as a mole for the Time Patrol.

 

There is also some extra visuals featuring Cooler.

 

 

EDIT: (7/1/16)

 

This year's Anime Expo featured a ton of exposure for XV2, including a brand new trailer. The trailer shows off more new features, mostly concerning the main story mode as well as appearances from the newly added characters and a couple of new reveals as well.

 

 

To recap: 1) The plot seems to be centered around the Time Breakers enlisting villains from the DragonBall film series i.e. Tullece, Slug, Coola, etc. to help mess with time 2) Other characters such as Zarbon and Dodoria will be affected as well 3) Janemba and Gogeta are confirmed to be playable 4) A Saiyan CaC can now transform into SSJ3 5) SSJ3 Goku can use his Ryuken, or Dragon Fist, technique 6) Misc. features such as new custom outfits, the hoverboards, and possible side quest/exploration in the hub world.

 

Also at Anime Expo was a playable demo for the game, and videos of the demo in action have been published to YouTube. YouTube channel Rhymestyle has uploaded a fairly good amount of gameplay videos (which I recommend you go to his homepage to view since there are too many to post here), including an in-depth breakdown of the demo:

So transfering stuff is possibe, but only with the current gen so far.  Alright.

 

That new trailer showed some awesome stuff and it's great to have that release date.  Plenty of time to prepare.

Hey, Janemba and Gogeta. The characters from the only non-canon DB movies I've seen. I actually recognize someone now  I really have a lot of catching up to do...

 

SSJ3 transformation looks nice. Also, hoverboards. Heck yeah.

 

... I know my post sounds like I'm underwhelmed but this does look great. Just don't have much more to say.

Breaking news! (because sleep is overrated):

 

A new trailer has been released for the game. It's basically the same trailer as the last one, but it has some extra tidbits at the end, and it involves pre-orders and season passes and all that.

 

Just to recap:

• Firstly, you can buy the Collector's Edition, which comes with the game, a special box design, a "Time Patroller's Guide", and a Goku figurine.
• Secondly, you can buy the Deluxe Edition, which is the game plus the season pass which gives you early access to Future Trunks (who I assume is just the DBS version of Trunks and not the Time Patroller Trunks from the game).
• And finally, you can buy the Day One Edition which gives you the log Tao Pai Pai used as a playable vehicle in the hub room as well as access to Goku Black. For those of you who don't know who this is, and by "those of you" I mean Shulk, catch up to the damn anime already.

We also got some screenshots that confirmed some new avatar costumes as well as a new transformation for the Majin race, which is essentially being able to transform into a "Pure Majin" similar in appearance to Kid Buu, a feature also present in DragonBall Online. No information has been released as to how this works out with the Majin race in terms of gender configuration and all that.

 

Here's a video with screenshots of all the new content:

Before anyone says anything, the Collector's Edition is confirmed for NA as well. As much as I appreciate the fact that they're finally giving their consumers in NA the option, I'll have to stick to low budget on this considering I have the UCE of Final Fantasy XV just weeks before and more important business in my personal life much after that. If I get it day one, probably deluxe edition, and otherwise, I'm waiting for a good price drop.

There is now a confirmation that DragonBall Xenoverse 2 will be receiving an open beta. What platforms the beta will be on is unknown at this current time.

Probably PS4 and XBO

....Each edition of the game has something I want.   I doubt the collectors edition will still be available by the time I get back home from vacation.  And then there's the money issue.

Confirmation from YouTube channel Burcol as well as DragonBall insider and RB3 Project creator Treevax:

 

Freeza Race CaC are going to be able to transform into a Golden form, similar to "Golden Freeza" from Resurrection 'F".

EDIT: (7/9/16)

 

Some new footage from Japan Expo has shown us a demonstration of some of the new CaC transformations for the game: SSJ3 for the Saiyan race, the Golden form for the Freeza race, and the "Pure Majin" form for the Majin race.

No Max Power (A la Master Roshi) or Giant forms for humans ans Namkes respectively? Well, maybe if there's a Xenoverse 3. I play Saiyan anyway,

Just because there isn't any confirmation for Namekians or Humans yet, doesn't mean that they have no forms period. Plus, screw giant characters.

 

In fact, small tidbit that I forgot to post, the official Facebook account for DragonBall related games confirms that Humans specifically will also have transformations.

Well, they said a "Surprise" It could be somethign else

What else could it be? Other than a transformation, you don't have much to really give them.

It seems that transformations changes combos as well.

That's good, I like that instead of having just stats increase it offers something else that isn't broken(like infinite ki and stamina for SSJ and Kaioken respectively in the first game)

Heey, I'm almost there. I told you I'd be busy last week. ;_;

 

Back on topic, the various editions and transformations are all pretty cool. If it wasn't so expensive, I'd probably consider picking up the Collector's Edition.

 

I don't like that pre-order exclusive characters are a thing again, though... And just like with SSJ4 Vegeta and Boruto/Sarada, I bet this one's not going to be released as paid DLC down the road, too. Ugh.

YouTube channel Rhymestyle uploaded a video citing an J-Patrol interview with Masayuki Hirano and summarized the details taken from it:

 

A new game plus?  Or what sounds like one? And in that feature people will have the option to change things?  Nice.

YouTube channel DBZanto Z uploaded a high quality version of a video originally captured by J Patrol (with appropriate credits) that detailed in-game exploration of the game's main hub world Conton City.

 

 

EDIT: (7/12/16)

 

DBZanto Z uploaded another HD version of footage taken from J Patrol at Anime Expo. The gameplay is mostly grounds for showing off the new combat features such as the Homing Dash, Stamina Break, and Ki Transformations.

 

 

Also: Rhymestyle uploaded a video centering around community feedback and costume/accessories as well as announced that he set up a Strawpoll around it for fans to vote for their specific costume/accessory for submission to Bandai Namco.

 

 

EDIT (7/14/16)

 

YouTube channel SeeReax uploaded a video confirming from an interview with Masayuki Hirano that Namekians will not have giant transformations (thank jeebus) and that Saiyans won't have God forms.

 

Edited July 14, 20169 yr by Firaga Sensei

I'm a little sad that Saiyans won't have a SSG transformation, but I'm okay with just SS3.

Hmm, I heard that they'd consider it if there was enough demand and they could balance it without breaking the game.

I heard that too. I guess we'll just have to find out when the time comes.p

YouTube channel SeeReax uploaded a news/speculation video about each CaC race having a "homeworld hub".
