Black in the game does say "With this body, I can do anything". So it seems like they knew something about where the storyline was going in some capacity while making the game.

Does he have Super Saiyan Rose?

Yeah, probably. SSB Goku and Vegeta are completely separate characters from their normal forms, so Rose will probably be treated the same way.

It is a clever way to keep them from having to explain why they can't give SSJ Blue/Rose/WhateverColor to players- just don't make it a skill.

Well, not yet anyway. Maybe Xen 3, but you just got SS3 for players in this game, guys! We're working on it if you keep this series profitable!

Although, depending on how Fusions does, maybe we'll get a 1-5 or non-canon six member fusion dance special transformation with co-op.

When we get Rose Black we will likely also get Zamasu and maybe Merged Zamasu.

Fusion Zamasu is for sure going to be in if we're getting DLC based on this new saga, he's going to be the most popular villain the series has had since Cell

People love fusions like nothing else and this one is half god half Goku. The perfect storm

Yes. At the very least all characters from Xenoverse should be in Xenoverse 2.

Unless I'm misremembering, he wasn't playable in that either. Neither was 16 or 19, though I'm fairly confident 16 is in this one. I'm PC so I don't get to play until tomorrow. :(

In the long run, it doesn't make sense for the villains to skip that.. If they had been able to kill Trunks when he was younger and less powerful, he wouldn't have been able to form the Time Patrol, and then their plans would have probably worked.

Hopefully the next game won't bother retreading the tedious Saiyan and Namek sagas for the thousandth time and focus on the classic Garlick Jr. and Android adventures instead.

They actually let him keep it.
Hopefully they go through the entire series from the beginning with Vegeta as the leader of the Ginyu Force.

The villains try that multiple times.

The also try to screw up the wish Trunks makes so the first-gen protagonist never gets summoned.

Xenoverse 2 is basically a glorified expansion pack, especially if you have the DLC from the first game. It's better than the first but honestly a pretty meh sequel because it boils down to "A couple of movies characters + user interface updates."

Some of it. Parallel Quests are less RNG (but still some RNG) and doing things like leveling up Masters is now super-insanely quick.

It's better than the first in almost every way but not in ways that feel significant. It's a lot of minor changes

sounds like something to wait for then. I'll probably get it when it's like $20, same as the first one

Its still functionally following a single player MMORPG mindset so grinding will always be there, but its a little less tedious and random.

Same.
Mechanics are way better, story is better and sillier, a lot of bullshit grinding for basic stuff has been cut down. Still some dumb stuff that wasn't fixed like the scarcity of options for offline battles and the obtuse way custom character stats are presented. But I like it quite a bit.
Roster at launch could also be better too, some stuff that was conspicuously absent in the first game is still absent.

I thought the story was super boring. The gave up entirely on having even the faintest interest in timeline deviations so everyone is just "Oh no, (X) is more powerful! Plus Turles/Slug/Cooler is here too!" The first game wasn't great at it but it at least tried. The second one they don't even come up with new stuff just "what if Radditz dodged the Special Beam Cannon... again!?"

Also the use of "Masked Saiyan" is so bizarrely pointless.

Heroic Yoshimitsu

I don't know, I remember the first game mostly having "oh this guy has the purple aura and is way stronger!!" as the change. So movie villain interference is a bit of a step up already. Granted I'm not that far into Xenoverse 2, so I don't know how it will all shake out.

I will say though, that there is a lot more they could be doing. Just look at those Dragonball Heroes scenes, that kinda of crazy stuff is what should be happening.

The first game at least had excuses for why that power boost was significant and cutscenes to go with it. Xenoverse 2 only does that when it's literally recycling the cutscenes from the first game. Like the first didn't set a very high bar and X2 goes below that bar.
