True, NO DLC, but you do get Xenoverse 1 story, goku black,and all non DLC characters unlocked right away. I think its ridiculous that people are entitled to all DLC packs for free when the game is just almost a year old and still relevant.

Has this been confirmed for the Americas? I couldn't care less about whether or not the XV2 DLC is included but the XV1 story mode is the main selling point for me.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Same mostly
If people are playing the Japanese release in English and the XV1 content is translated, then I'd be amazed if it doesn't come over with the game. Not sure if it's been mentioned yet though.

Yes it does!
Nice. Thanks! Will buy one later when I come back to the shop.

I'd assume it uses the default Future Warrior model like the main story does if you never played XV1.

I've bought this game in hope for a port of DragonBall Fighters Z in a near future on the switch but after this review I'm completely sold, it seems to be a really decent port.
They could be quadruple S and still sound cringe as hell compared to the originals. I want to know if this game has Japanese voices too. I won't buy it if it doesn't.
I was judging by the screenshots shared, but I guess my worries were unfounded.

So I purchased the japanese version of Xenoverse 2 on the Switch. It's cool that I can choose European servers and play in English but one that thing that kinda bothers me is the lack of AA. The game plays great, I did notice some hickups on framerate on the city sometimes but the lack of AA is annoying. I'll eventually get used to it I guess. I only played in Handheld mode btw.
Yeah unfounded. Even the PS4 version can look that ugly and muddy if you turn the ingame brightness down. For some reason Xenoverse one PS4 AND Xbox is real muddy and dull unless brightness is all the way up. Only at the max brightness setting does the colors pop like they should.
Awkwardly enough the game was muddy and dark for XV1 on consoles no matter what brightness was set at. How the devs ever released their game in that shape is beyond me.

PS3 and 360 clearly can't handle higher brightness, they need that blast processing.

It was like that for XB1 and PS4 too

Performance and resolution in the hub is so bad undocked. Really regret biting the bullet and buying the game for $60 since this is the only way Im planning to play the game. Im having Borderlands 2 Vita flashbacks.
The one battle I played so far looked and performed much better, thankfully. But dont be like me, people. Keep your expectations in check.

XV1 was only and muddy on current gen consoles, on PS3 and 360 it looked fine. It has a weird darkening filter over it on current gen consoles, which Bamco implemented in a couple of other current gen games at time IIRC. It was weird.

Xenoverse 2 Switch Vs PS4 Vs PC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFkWUya0kWo
PS4 has 44% more pixels(1080p vs 900p), twice the framerate in non 1 vs 1 fights, and it has anti aliasing.
Framerate for switch is locked at 30fps in non 1vs 1 modes.. Not sure if PS4 has a cap or not, but its 60 MAX for all modes for the max limit. Supposedly there's more noticable framerate dips on handheld mode, but we'll get the full lanalysis by digital foundary hopefully. From a tech perspective.. PS4 has close to 2x as much RAM available(not to mention faster), significantly more bandwidth, 1.5 to 2x CPU power and 3x GPU power? Xbone version of xenoverse 2 apparently has the same performance as PS4 version apparenlty as well.
What I"m curious is.. Is handheld mode really 720p as youtubers are claiming? 720-->900p is only a 56% increase in pixels and gpu power.. The Switch should be able to do 1080p, right? It's like we have another botw situation in our hands. Either the GPU in docked mode was used for framerate stability or there's a weak link holding switch back. What could it be.. bandwidth? At least with Mario and Rabbids, it was 600p/900p for handheld/docked, but that was a clear 2.25x pixel increase that was the same jump from 720p to 1080p.

Buuhan and Dabura coming. Zamasu mentor

Why Zamasu would debase himself to teach and bestow FILTHY NINGEN with his techniques is beyond me. But hell, I'm game.
And about time Dabura got in the game.
Don't tell me that! I just bought 2K18 and I'm trying to hold on to the last of my Nintendo monies for Mario.
Wow! Love Buuhan.

Hows the framerate? Any mayor drops?
Neither did I!
Mainly in the city itself is where the worst of it happens.
In actual fighting, it seems to be largely a smooth experience. 30fps for multi and 60fps for 1v1.
This. Im seriously impressed with it and in terms of content its the definitive version. Being able to play the XV1 story side by side with the XV2 story is a treat and its awesome to see how they compare.
Was there ever confirmation as to whether the localised version will have the XV1 story? And whether it will be time limited as per earlier indications? Cos I'm doomed if so.
So I bought xv1 on the ps4, but the hub has a weird... darkness filter over it.. Is that the case here? As it started to give me quite a severe headache so I had to stop playing
XV2 does have a darkness filter, but it can be removed by setting the internal brightness up.

Still a bit burnt that all the DLC isn't included in this. If the XV1 story is standard and not some pre-order shit, I'll definitely pick this up at some point.
What's the file size on the Switch?

In handheld mode It dips in the hub world but it's a rock solid 30fps during the fight, I've seen no drop at all during battle even with 8 characters on the screen, It's honestly really impressive.
The post launch support for the game has been pretty good. Getting a bit greedy now, but I'd love to see Buutenks, and and 2nd form cell.
That sounds awesome. The wait is killing me. How much is the season pass?

The japanese version is 2500 yen so I guess it will be 20 25$ in the west.
Only in the city
Not during battles
Lol
Yup
Are the X1 missions what they call "parallel missions", available from the HUB after seeing the statue of the previous hero?
Not bad. I'll be picking it up as soon as it becomes available.
Speaking of the X1 missions. Does it have cutscenes?
