Hope they fix rng and how weirdly hard it was for certain mentors to show up. That actually prevented me from getting all the achievements, which I otherwise would've done. Liked the game a lot.

Will this have a Mitsuda soundtrack too?
Meanwhile I'm one of the couple dozen people waiting for a Burst Limit sequel
I am not alone! Thank god! I loved that title.
Agreed. Just too much bloom in the in-game visuals
If this could be in-engine, they'd be closing on CyberConnect2 tier

Actual trailer none too great yeah, but...
Dodoria and Zarbon seem to be in, and with Future Trunks' origin it seems they'll expand on canon content as much as they will the movie stuff. Also appears to be an overhauled hub area, with the ability to fly now - was always one of my annoyances with the first game's. What I'm curious about here is the extent to which they will or won't maintain a continuous plot from the previous. On the one hand, retreading the same story beats has been a Dragonball Z game staple since, well, there have been Dragonball Z games, but on the other hand I kinda feel like that would be the easy way out when they've literally got the whole alternate timelines thing going for them.

Makes me a little angry they still use the "XV" logo even though it was originally used to both shorten "XenoVerse" and as the roman number 15, since XenoVerse was the fifteenth Dragon Ball game on consoles.
Should have called it "Dragonball Xenoverse: Invasion" aka XVI, as a collegue of mine suggested D:

being able to fly in the hub makes me so happy
it was such a pain in 1 having to slowly jog through each area looking for a mentor, only to find the mentor that spawned was one I had already trained with

Can't believe this looks exactly like the first Xenoverse and it's current gen only... What the fuck Dimps?
This is true. I'm replaying Xeno 1 just now and I just wish I could fly.
along with wishing for the mentor I want to show up.MaximumSpider

Hm, while I enjoyed the first one, I'll hold off on this until a list of improvements are set. The visuals seem like a no-go so far and I'm guessing the stupid MMO-style hubs are remaining too.

I wish I could get my money back for buying the first one. It was so freaking bad.

The Xenosaga team did DBZ Kai: Attack of the Saiyans, not this.

the phrase "Outcomes You Wished Were Different" sticks out to me.
Budokai 3 is still king.
For the sake of discussion, here's all of the issues I hope get addressed in Xenoverse 2
- Tone done the RNG a lot. The first game's RNG was fucking crazy.
- Make the combat a little deeper and more balanced.
- Bigger and more destructible arenas
- Get rid of that hyper armor bullshit that the AI always had in the later fights
- Make androids a playable race
- Give Saiyans actual Super Saiyan hairstyles instead of just making their hair gold
- More Saiyan transformations - I think Xenoverse capped at SSJ2?
- Freiza race should be able to transform considering Freiza had 4 forms in DBZ and now 1 more in Super
- More transformation states in general would be nice. I think everyone besides Saiyans was restricted to Kaio-Ken
- Beam clashes, please!
What?

I really liked the trailer, I'm hyped! I just wish the graphical style wasn't the same as the first game and looked like the CG instead.
The youtube video description said that it's coming this year

Can't wait for the TFS playthrough. Xenoverse 2, the Dumpening.
That was fast.
I expected movie content, but no Super content is a bit of a surprise. Hopefully we get more TFS voices.

It is hard to compare because it plays more like the Tenkaichi games, but I like the combat better than Tenkaichi
It's a teaser so I wouldn't judge it quite yet. E3 is when we will get a full trailer. This is just to hype up for E3.

Just because there was no Super stuff in the trailer doesn't mean it won't be in the game.

Hyped. I wanna see the roster.
I'd love to see more What-if characters like SSJ4 Gohan.

Rewatching the trailer, I can't stop laughing now. Holy shit it looks so awful.
Hopefully they flesh out the fighting mechanics. Xenoverse got kind of dull even before I realised how broken Super Saiyan transformation was. If it's still mostly the same though, I'll probably skip the sequel. Although, the first game had a slew of other issues I would like to see fixed as well, but I feel like that was the biggest issue with the first Xenoverse.
Bummer that the plot will be more or less the same as well, although I did expect them to recycle Towa messing with the past the same way as she did previously.

So there's hope.
Nope, and good choice. The opening theme still gives me chills.
You didn't miss anything. Like the Tenkaichi series, the gameplay takes a backseat to fan service. Nothing has been as fun as Budokai 3 except Burst Limit. That was my favorite since Budokai series, but we never got a sequel. :-/

Yes. The world needs more Dumplin: The King of Hell
Although by the end of Xenoverse 1 you could really tell TFS was tired of the game

Visuals don't look much better than Xenoverse 1

That actually raises an important question: Transfer of save game data, yes or no?
