Is there any information on exactly what the differences between the last-gen (PS3/360) and current-gen (PS4/XB1/PC) are outside of graphical enhancements?

It's probably just going to be prettier graphics on the higher end machines and mods on the PC.

I think CoCks can only go up to SS2 so you don't get that much of an advantage to being a Sayian that you wouldn't get in other races.

Battle of the Gods literally spent more time in a birthday party and discussing a bingo game and its ramifications than it did on the battle of the gods, so it was the best DBZ movie ever.

Some ui improvements, more color customization options for the clothing, some more pq quests, and some balance tweaking are all a potential xv2 really needs to be the best since budokai 3.

I wouldn't mind that theory that someone said about going as far back as Dragon Ball to find Goku/maintain time as best as you can until you find him wouldn't be a bad story for XV2. Have a the weirdest parallel like quests be main missions where you have to fight an army of Red Ribbon Androids and whatever poo poo you hear NPC time patrol talk about doing in this game would be great.

Considering its getting near Dark Souls 2 territory as far as sales go, I'm pretty sure they're a little bit beyond amazed that a anime game did this well worldwide.

Its just a dumb name I threw up for being on a power level par with post Battle of the Gods Goku and Beerus. Let every type of CAC have it as its basically Kaioken but with red hair if they don't want to share Potential Unlocked.

I really hope they officially trim down SSGSS to just True Super Saiyan God in the dub. We'll still have Cyan and blue jokes, but for the sake of the voice actors alone they should probably cut out some of the redundant poo poo.

Look, I know I enjoy Xenoverse for the punch mans, but could we please have some silly poo poo like riding around on the train car with the bra family in Xeno 2: Dimensional War of Z?

To be fair, Goku repeatedly tries to not kill people. He let Vegeta live. He would've let Frieza live if he hadn't have attacked Goku that last time. Although, Goku's final attack didn't even kill Frieza. I guess once the androids show up, Goku realizes the only way to deal with unrepentant murder-machines is to kill them.

I will admit, there is much more violent murder and brutality in the show than what I remembered as a kid.

To be fair, death/going to another dimension really isn't that big of a deal when you have magic balls that will bring people back at least once and magic beans that can heal near fatal injuries upon ingestion.

The Funimation dub got incredibly better but boy I remember first hearing the new dub for the first time having spent all that time with the Ocean dub and absolutely hating it. Goku was fine but something was kind of off with the line readings, Krillin sounded like he was trying to pass a massive poo poo, Frieza sounded like he had a massive cold, Gohan sounded fine, Vegeta and Piccolo sounded ok too. The trouble with that early stuff coming off of the Ocean dub, on top of all that, is that they all sounded like they were doing something with their voices to make it sound like a character. The Ocean dub sounded way more natural to me. Yeah, they were doing it too but they hid that fact better.

They all got better over time. I fell off the series before Cell showed up but playing Xenoverse, they all sound really great. Except Trunks, I really can't stand the direction they have that voice actor going in. Sounds like he's talking like that because he has something stuck in his throat and is trying to clear it as he talks.

I think there was a scene that Trunks actually broke character and the VA used his natural speaking voice for some low "What". It kind of adds to the charm in a weird way how haphazard the dub job was because no one was anticipating this would be the new gold standard DBZ video game, but I'd like someone to actually listen to what the script says now and not have weird lines not match the characters say now in the sequel. It was funny the first time, but I doubt it'll stay that way for Xen 2.

It's been a while since I played, but I'm drat sure leveling up counts.

When I made new characters, plowing them through monkey fights would notably raise my mentor levels, then stop when I hit "You unlocked the next mission, but this newbie isn't high enough level to see it!" (I'd regularly check the progress meter to see when it seemed it stopped moving entirely) then I'd switch to my higher level character and the mission icon would be right there.

Of course, I never got around to any of the "You must be level 70+ or whatever for me to give a poo poo" mentors, so I do not know if that would work for them.

The worst thing about Goku and Beerus is getting them to show up at all. I swear I've seen Tien, Elder Kai and Yamcha more than those two and I'm only wanting to train on them first because I'm about a level away from being able to get Mystic/Potential Unleashed. Leveling to 70 is nothing compared to climbing a over a million a level for 93. :v:

It's still problematic, but there is a DLC master that can randomly make it so you have higher chances for skills or z souls to drop. However, XP is still a terrible grind. They really need to loosen the gently caress out on all of this grind in the sequel.
