They said that they created A21, because storyline reasons, and because there were very few female fighters.

I think that gives away the fact if she is playable or not..

tbf arcsys recently continued the trend of final female villain in ggxrd but DIDNT make the main antagonist of the last two games playable, so I'm hoping it wont do that again

Does ASW usually have stages as DLC?
If we get someone as Janemba for example, I would like the Hell location from Fusion Reborn to be included with him.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

We don't even have Kami's Palace yet, or the U7 vs U6 arena, and many other classic ones too, so I hope so.

It would be weird after all this hype if they wouldn't make her playable. I mean if she has an over the top final form, with only a few really damaging moves, I wouldn't mind if that's not included, but her basic version should be.

#21 has to be in. I would be very disappointed if she isn't. Hopefully they are hiding her, if there's even a glimpse that she might be spoiled in the new V-Jump I will avoid this forum and many others like the plague. Ditto for storyline details, I want to experience that to the fullest.

They already screwed us with the Blue Saiyans, imagine if they didn't showed them. You would play the game and unlock them to your surprise, how awesome would that be! I wouldn't even be disappointed with them being clones; hidden content hurray I would say. Let's see if they saved at least #21 for this.

Damn pre-order bonuses! There's a chance that if those weren't a thing the previous scenario might have been a reality. Oh well.

This is my beef with Super's spoilers as well. I am seriously debating abandoning this place (and any DB-related websites) until March so that I don't learn any spoilers as to what will happen in the last episodes of the ToP.

Hi again everyone,

Please pardon my ignorance as I’m late to the party. I just want to be sure if I preorder the ultimate edition right now as we speak I’ll have access to the beta tomorrow January 13? Does it matter if I do it through the PlayStation store or does it have to be from a specific website I.e. GameStop, Amazon etc. I’m eager to play and I’ve fallen behind on all the updates.

Thanks!

I know it was confirmed the Xenoverse 3 was in the works by i was thinking, now that we have FighterZ, what’s the point in continuing the arena games?

Because not everyone wants a serious fighting game every time for a franchise. For many, Xenoverse scratches an itch of playing in the DB universe through the storyline of Z & Super with some, admittedly, fun twists. Now, Xenoverse STILL has some refinements to be made. I'm only around halfway through the main story before the DLC in 2 &, personally, I think that there's a TON of further refinements to be made in both writing & gameplay mechanics. 2's a good step in the right direction, but if they can just focus on the "action" part of the Action RPG genre that they aimed for & keep the adventure aspect, then tone down or streamline the RPG elements, it'll be better. But, yeah, Xenoverse is a breath of fresh air in DB's gaming history. It's basically a proof of concept for what I feel Atari attempted to do with Sagas, though Sagas was definitely trying to be an adventure game with some RPG elements, it just failed to be a competent game in its own right. I want another Xenoverse if the extra time between it & 2 has allowed the writers to get more creative & the programmers to further refine the formulas. We'll always get more fighting games for DB & FighterZ is gonna fill that niche for a bit, but Xenoverse is just a different kind of game.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

As I write this, the FighterZ beta is available for pre-load on the PSN store. I believe it's the same for Xbox as well.

And yes, if you preordered it on the PSN store, you should have early access. I did the same, and mine came with the early access, no code or anything necessary.

For AUS people the Open Beta and the Early Access apps are now on PSN too. I have a physical preorder and the Open Beta app is a free download but the Early Access App is not available, I assume Bandai will be e-mailing out download codes for the Early Access app. It also says for early access both apps must be downloaded.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

After the unfitting Hit's theme, it's good to see a proper character theme again. Glad to know Beerus has a tail swipe attack like I wanted.

All the character trailers for the confirmed characters are out.
It's just a matter of days until V-Jump leaks, if Android 21 is not the 24th character but a secret one, I bet on Broly or Vegetto for the last slot.

Please don't just leave a link without any kind of context or commentary. What is it? Why are you linking it? How does it relate to the game? What do you think about it?

If I'm not mistaken Jump leaks will probably pop up next friday (or the monday after that). One more week to go, and 21's playability will be answered.

Also, Beerus' theme is fine, it goes along well with the character.

For those who want to play the Beta, you can already download it. Tomorrow may be a chaos.
It will be playable for pre-orders tomorrow and Sunday for the rest.

Friday, the latest. We will get the leaks earlier than that. :)

Not entirely sure how the matchmaking system is going to work in the beta, but if you're on PS4, shoot me a game invite on Sunday or Monday under the PSN name CrimsonGator96.
