Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 General Thread

Its looking really good, I just hope for some fixes in terms of certain mechanics, but from what I've heard the hit detection is already shown to be way better, so thats a good start.

An even better roster, and I bet you anything, the year long dlc will be focusing on Super's Universe 6 and the new Future Trunks arc, so its likely we'll see characters like Hit, Black Goku and that version of Future Trunks among others.

Also please, for the love of everything green, make Namekians more viable as a CAC race, they had the least options and just everything ._.

Bit of a bump here http://www.siliconera.com/2016/06/23/dragon-ball-xenoverse-2-will-fix-fighting-system-issues-previous-game/

Siliconera recently spoke to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 producer Masayuki Hirano who talked about the possibility of adding Dragon Ball Super content. During our talk with the producer, he shared more on some of the fighting system changes we’ll see in the sequel, on using user feedback, character creator upgrades, and exploring the bigger hub world.

How is the fighting system being changed from Dragon Ball Xenoverse to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2?

Masayuki Hirano, Producer: Based on user feedback, we got responses from fans who said they were playing online and the opponent does long range attacks and then keeps running to try to win with a time out. In order to prevent that with Xenoverse 2 we are adding a new system called the Reverse Dash, which you can use to automatically pursue an opponent. If you’re pursuing the enemy and they suddenly do a ki blast to you, you won’t be able to avoid it. During this dash if you put in a special command after you dash towards the opponent you will be able to change the direction you’re flying to get behind them. You will be able to dodge and prepare for a counterattack at the same time.

We heard feedback from fans that it was difficult to do combos. Not because the combo branch was limited, but because opponents could easily dodge their attack by doing quick teleportation. There is a new system called the Stamina Break where you can take the opponent’s stamina. If you’re doing a combo they won’t be able to avoid your attack that easily. With this new system, there is more depth to the battle system.

It’s interesting that you talked about listening to user feedback. Bandai Namco has competitive fighting games like Tekken and flashy, but technically light fighting games too. How do you know which fans to listen to?

We are looking forward to listening to fans and their feedback in terms of adjustments and what they are looking for. We will continue to do that for this game too. It may be a little difficult, but we want to listen to both. In terms of Dragon Ball Xenoverse, we wanted to make it easy for everyone to join in and fight, but keep the combat system deep. This way people that are hardcore fighting game fans will be able to enjoy the game as well. We are listening to more of the core gaming fan feedback from Xenoverse 1 in order to increase the quality of battles in Xenoverse 2.

How are you going to enhance the character creator for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2?

We have more parts, costumes, and attacks. We’re planning to make all of those. We are also planning new features when you are creating your avatar, but we can’t go into details about that now.

We don’t have plans to increase the number of races from Dragon Ball Xenoverse. There will be five, but we are going into each race and expanding the experience with each one.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has a bigger hub world, Conton City, which can hold over 300 people. What will players be able to explore here?

You probably have seen this earlier, but you can fly around Conton City. We also have side quests where you can go to different areas like Frieza’s Spaceship or Planet Namek. There is a teleportation system in Conton City which lets players visit these other areas and see more of the Dragon Ball world. Players will be able to talk to characters in these areas too. This is a new feature we hope fans will enjoy.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2016.

Pretty cool random battle here by Rhymestyle on Xenoverse 2. Looks like SSJ3 is officially confirmed get hype! Seems like SSJ transformations handle and last a bit differently. I can't figure out if anything is draining (like the time limit it had via ki drain in XV1 or from damage).

Yo we're getting the movie characters! And I can official be a member of the Ginyu Force. I wonder if Garlic JR is in. Speaking of which I hope Goku black shows up.

I don't see why not. Probably will be DLC though since he's just now appearing in the anime/manga.

I believe they stated we are getting like a years worth of DLC, and I can only assume that means we'll be getting stuff like the Universe 6 v Universe 7 people, like Hit, Magetta etc. Along with Goku Black as well probably.

I mean Xenoverse 1 eventually added Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue forms, Jaco and Golden Frieza.

Maybe we can get some cool new movesets added onto like Tien and co due to Revival of F, because in Xenoverse 1 alot of characters alternate looks were also alternate movesets.

It's been a year since I played Xenoverse 1, but I remember online PVP being really unbalanced in Sayians favor. I hope they balance that

Well they did confirm that they can't energy spam in Super Saiyan now, also speaking of transformations...

Saiyans now get SSJ3, Frieza Race gets Golden Form, and Majins get True Majin state, Namekians and Humans are hinted to be getting stuff too, so I assume Super Namekian and Unlocked Potential.

Pretty neat stuff I'm really looking forward to see how they will do the Super Saiyin Mechanic this time around. I also assume that if Frieza race gets their golden form then Saiyins are getting access to SSJ God forms?

Haven't heard anything about god form or Super Saiyan Blue, but they are getting 3 at least.

So there are alot of versions of the game coming out with different goodies. Rhymestyle pretty much puts it all in layman's terms here.

Unfortunately, no news on the PC version :*(

Definitely looks like the graphics have been upped! Looks like combat items (power pole) are a thing now.

I think the Power Pole + Nimbus is the Human Power Up actually.

I'm on my phone but Xenoverse 2 is now available on steam for preorder same bonuses apply as the PS4 and Xbone versions (minus the physical stuff of course). 50USD for standard version and 80USD for delux which includes the season pass.

If the DLC has the same volume as in the first game it's not even close to be worth the 30 bucks.

Fortunately the base game was utterly amazing for a first outing. So I guess I could actually preorder for once. Especially given how amazing the PC port was. Dimps most certainly earned my trust with that one.

Little bit more on the game. Also the Tree Of Might is apparently going to be a stage, you guys might remember how big that Tree was in said film

From what I heard, its going to be supported for a fair bit, hopefully all the more recent Super content gets added in as time goes by (Black being a preorder bonus is kind of an indicator of that I think)
