I just hope the new story is more entertaining than the one with the colliseum.
I didn't finish that one because it was long fights in that colliseum system leading to very basic cutscenes on a very basic storyline.

This time, it seems "maximum power" cutscenes are part of it, this could be more interesting to play through it.

I believe FighterZ probably will never surpass XV or can we picture this game topping 6 millions sales until the end of this year?

In the trailer it showed you fighting Black and Zamasu on the Stage that came with that pack but I wouldn't have that.
You will fight on the stage in story mode but you won’t be able to use it in offline single player mode.
I called it that Gogeta, Bardock, and something Broly related would be in the movie before it was even announced that it was a Broly movie. 8)

The new DLC looks fun. I wish we got some new characters like Baby, Garlic Jr, Hatchiyack, Uub and Pikkon to finish off the Movies/GT/Specials/Filler characters.

Can we actually play as our customized masters? Or are we potentially giving them moves and potentially transformations that the AI doesn't always use.

AI from my experience never transforms. I have seen the AI use such moves as Divine Lasso, but a handful of others it just sort of depends.
They haven't confirmed if you can play as them, but I think it'd be strange if you couldn't.
We'll just have to wait and see, fingers crossed.

I had to check, but yep, you're right.

I'm sticking with the assumption that you are stuck with preset costumes, so if that is the case this is a new Whis costume.
I'd love to be wrong though, it'd be awesome if you could actually customize the characters' looks outside of colors.
I'll be sad if it's just presets, but if Goku getting Divine Lasso in that one scan is any indication it looks like there'll be some really good moveset customization too. I really want to see more of that.

I hope Zamasu also gets Black's moves.
With the way i think moves work in this game, backed up by the fact cac can also use all types of moves, any model should be able to use any move no problem, i dont expect any additional voice work for moves so just generic attack grunts will do.

Apparently a cooler raid this w.e does anyone know if the cooler outfit was one we already got from pqs /the shop/ or whatever? Or is it new?
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

Wonder If its been in a previous one and I have it. The shitty non English press releases don't help you clarify....

Wondering if I should respect before the dlc....

I know there's no soft caps apparently but there is diminishing returns right? And having a qq bang and maxed stats in some areas in unnecessary?

I have a male saiyan:

Health: 125
Ki: 125
Ki supers: 125

Qq bang:

Health: -5
Ki. : +5
Stam : -5
Basic : +5
Str : -5
Kisup. : +5

Should I respec?

Use super nova cooler and reverse launcher (solo)/or super guard (raid). Data input. Big bang kamehameha. Div unleashed. Energy zone (escort missions, should probably change this) super saiyan 3 and victory canon.

I don't do PVP at all.

I want to point out that during the sequence of shots surrounding the changing scenarios and working with our 'partner', we get a shot of Vegeta about to transform from a player perspective. I think this might hint that we CAN play as the edited character.

Hey! Does anyone know who’s voice it is in the Extra Pack 2 trailer at 2:52? The guy who says “You will suffer at my hand”. Someone on reddit said it was Demigra but i check XV1 storymode and both base form Demigra and Final form Demigra share the same voice and it isn’t as deep as the one in the trailer. I thought of Jiren but i feel like the voice is slightly different and the words from the voice are too devious to be Jiren.

I also theorized Dabura but i can’t seem to find his japanese audio from his character in XV2. I also thought Mechikabura but i need to find his voice in Heroes to compare. I ALSO thought Mira but i still need to compare.

My last wild guess is that Fu has some kinda transformation. What do you guys think?

Here’s the trailer again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4XhnE0ggmk

I never do PvP either.

Personally, I've found going 83 health, 42 Ki, 125 Basic, and 125 in either Super Strike or Ki makes for a pretty hard hitting Saiyan. Particularly with Cabba's Super Soul. For moves, if going up to SSJ3;
Super God Fist
Time Skip Back Breaker
Maximum Charge
Rise to Action

Super Saiyan
Justice Combination
And whatever other Ultimate

QQBangs I've found effective are;

5 Health
5 Ki
5 stamina
-5 basic
-5 strike
-5 blast

and

-5 health
5 ki
5 stamina
5 basic
-5 strike
-5 blast

Just what I do is all.

Most likely that it's Dabura. But to theorize for a moment, look at the shot when this line is said, a swirling mass of rift/portal shit. It transitions to Chorona being trapped somewhere, so we assume that it's simply a close-up shot of that before she comes on screen, but look at the two shots again; they're not the same thing, ones dark while the other is the usual very light pink. I think we're having a moment where a dark, mysterious and unknown figure speaking through a portal or is obscured by the effects. And I'm thinking that figure is Mechiabura or Dabura, as from what we've seen I can't imagine the line coming from the mouths of Fu or even a revived Mira.

The thing I read said something about it being the "Masked Saiyajin", which makes sense given that it drops Towa and Mira's Super Souls. Though it did say something about a metal costume.
Unless I misread something, but that seems like a pretty long leap even for Google Translate.

I agree that it's Dabura. We've seen shots from this DLC of Goku, Chronoa, Fuu and Dabura in the time prison and obviously he's the only one with a deep voice like that. I can't remember what Dabura sounds like in Xenoverse 2 off the top of my head, but even his voice from way back when in Z is pretty similar.

When did Freeza get such a deep voice?

It would be nice if they do a patch with the new voices for Hit and base Goku Black in English.

The clip in the trailer is the same voice he has in the game.
