Either have Future Gohan fight using both hands or have him be one armed like in the special.

Budokai Tenkaichi 3 did the same so I'm not surprised we get two-armed Future Gohan fighting as if he only had one arm again.

I'm more interested in the fact that he has completely unique animations for Super Saiyan and Super Kamehameha, when the previous game had every move with a specific animation that all its users would have. Either that was changed, or those are new versions of the moves.

It kinda seems like a waste of effort to animate him fighting one-handed even though he has both arms.

This bothered me more then anything "You can't go SS because the engine can't handle it" the number 1 thing when designing a DBZ game is figuring out how to let the players go Super Saiyin.

How were they able to make an engine that can't handle some transformations? I've never played Xenoverse, but the last DBZ fighting game I did play (Budokai Tenkaichi 3) let you do tons of transformations/fusions during battle! You could go through all the stages of Frieza in a single battle. If they can manage it on the PS2 why can't they on the PS4?

What he means is, you don't transform at all with the player character.

You just get golden hair and a golden glow. Some times certain items you wear also change colors.

Your hair remains whatever default hair you picked, which doesn't include a lot of options and most of them are Yamcha.

Uh, it wasn't so much that the engine couldn't handle it as much as the effort it'd take to model extra hairs for both SSJ and SSJ2 wouldn't justify the cost compared to just changing the color to gold, especially when you had so many choices of races that couldn't go super saiyan.

I hope for Xenoverse 2 they just let humans go super saiyan with no explaination and Namekians can go purple, Freezas change shapes that you customize etc.

And I hope they take the time to model unique hair for SSJ transformations, sure.

It'd be nice.

The one minor thing I would love to have above all else


That I absolutely do not need but would love to have


Colorable Auras.

Pushing that a bit further, it'd also be great if you oculd choose what kind of aura you have- do you want lightning bolts? Red energy things that appear some times? Do you want it to burn like fire or just sort of do the usual glowy thing


But mostly I'd just like to have whatever color aura I want.

Hell yeah, I'm totally down for that. They mentioned doing that as DLC for the last one and it never happened, so maybe they decided to add it to this. I'm so hyped for this game. I wasn't expecting to hear an announcement this quick.

So admittedly it's been a while since I played Xenoverse but why does every piece of footage or promotional thing I've seen of X2 look 100% indistinguishable from the first one? Like have they even announced a new feature or some other marketable thing or are they promoting it as 'literally the exact same thing'?

The characters and animations shown in the video are entirely new. We've also seen that the story mode will be different from last time with a bigger focus on changing history (which should've been in the first game to begin with, but whatever), that the hub city is much bigger (seven times, officially) and that you can fly through it, and there's a bigger cast obviously.

I'm not sure what else you expect. It's a sequel, of course the gameplay won't change entirely.

Also my personal wish for the game is just every race having their own transformation. Super Saiyan made Saiyans so much better than everything else, it was flat-out unfair. And this is taking from Online, so bring the trasnformations from there, let me play as a Giant Namek. It won't make Nameks less poo poo, but just being able to play as a giant boss even if temporarily would be fun as hell. Buus can have their Pure form, Freeza Clan can get a customizable Final Form, and I'm sure they can think of something for the humans. Apparently this was meant to be in the first but never got in for some reason, so this would be a really good time to fix that. Also fix the Saiyan hair issue, it's pretty bad when modders have done it but the actual game hasn't.

Visually, it's the same as the PC version of XV one. There's no improvement in fidelity.

It's harder to tell new animations and such.

I'll just take Kaioken for Humans. Keeping them relatively "vanilla" compared to everyone else would fit the lore. Other than Android Upgrades, I can't imagine what else there could be.

The Roshi BUFFED OUT form.

Everyone gets shirtless max buff bodies even the women but they all look like different colored Roshi torsos


Freezas can also get MAX Buffness

Just give that to everyone. All of the races except Namekians have used a super buffed up form at some point in the series (Roshi had his MAX Power form, Freeza had his 100% Final Form, Vegeta and Trunks had their 2nd and 3rd Grade Super Saiyans, and Buu became super buff after absorbing one of the Kais). And the Namekians can just use their Giant Form to become buff too if you need an excuse.

What I'm saying is that muscles are good even if they completely destroy your speed, drain Ki at an insane rate, and the series itself shows that they hinder more than they help.

Was Dragon Ball Online fun? I never got to play it.

Also, if Xenoverse 2 actually runs decent on Xbone I'll get it. Burst Limit is still my favorite DBZ game but Xenoverse was almost really cool.
