Oh, and another thing I just read: in the Deluxe Edition it says: "Future Trunks - Früher Zugang zu spielbaren Charakteren" which translates as "Future Trunks - Early Access to Playable Characters". They use plural. Sooo... could it be that there are actually more characters than Mirai Trunks as early access or is it just a mistranslation? Would be nice (although I don't really care about Early Access as long as those Characters are still in the Game and unlockable). Nothing spectacular but I thought I should at least mention it.

I'm pretty sure Black comes with it.

Would be awesome to play as Future Mai. Never liked trying to remake female characters in the first game, because their faces always looked really off.

Well you can already make your characters 'buff' with the sliders, secondly, Cell said anyone can do a Buff transformation. Even Frieza has one before Cell even said that.

I'd rather have something more exciting and maybe a original concept. Maybe something that looks like potential unlock or something. I think Infinite world, when you press R2, I'd rather have that coz it looks cooler. Something more cooler looking.

Also, if and I;m just guessing here, if Saiyajins have 3 transformations than it's only fair the other races get 3 especially to make it balanced. Imagine having 3 tiers of a buff form...

Not at all the same thing.

Not like we have any transformations AT ALL that only humans have done, unless you count the four witches technique, but I doubt they would use that even though it would be awesome.

You JUST said that buff form was a bad idea because anyone could do it, and now you want potential unlock which in the last game anyone can do and in canon was only ever done by a half saiyan? (Not counting Guru's which also could be used by anyone, and was used on a human, a namekian, and a half saiyan)
I think Infinite world, when you press R2, I'd rather have that coz it looks cooler. Something more cooler looking.
Never played that one. Care to explain what you mean?

I HIGHLY doubt that will happen.

They have the creative freedom to make a transformation, it could be something you get in some sort of epic quest.

They would have to have 3 tiers to balance things out. But if not, Bandai, Dimps... :/

Just like in Budokai 3, you had hyper mode where your character turns red. Just blue with no stagger. Basically just some visual powerup rather than buffing the character up.

I don't understand why humans need, or should have transformations. I feel it cheapens the characters in dragon ball that are human and can't transform, in addition to really not making much sense. What are we going to give them, different grades of potential unlocked like in the Budokai games? Why? Whats the point? Just give them something else to balance them. I don't know guys, I just don;t think everyone needs to transform. I'll be honest, I'm kind of annoyed that majins can transform. I would rather just be able to make skinny male Majins, and I know, it has root's in DBO, but it's still kind of lame that they just turn into kid buu. I don't know, that's just my two cents.

Totally agree with you. Obviously saiyans have transformations, and in case of Freezer race make sense too. But the others could get another characteristic features.

Could work if it was like XV1 where potential unlock just worked better on humans than other races, but meh... I dunno. If all the other races get transformations, then why not humans?

You see I'm not mad that majins GOT a transformation, but I AM mad that their transformation is so lazy looking. They don't keep ANYTHING from your created character except color. Not even their clothes. They're JUST a copy-pasted Kid Buu. I see absolutely no effort in that. Also, not thin male majins still. WHY?! It was very highly requested, guys! Put in some effort!

Still excited for the game, but Dimps seems lazy as all hell with the created character stuff this time around.

Has anyone confirmed that the Kid Buu Transformation we saw in the trailer wasn't just their edited Kid Buu Transformation for the character? Like maybe they just kept it basic to show you that you can in fact transform? Because it seems really weak that the Frieza Race Golden Form at least looks like it's going to keep your biggest physical features. So why wouldn't Kid Buu?

Also,for the pre-ordering I think I could clear this up for some people. If you pre-order either copy of the game that's a Day One edition, you will get the Goku Black and Tao Log. That's the basic incentive to get people to pre-order even the basic Day one version. However, you won't get the card until you get the game. I'm pretty sure Goku Black will be available for download later, but the Stick won't be. Don't quote me on that though. The Deluxe Edition is the next level, will give you the Day One edition, and that's the only edition that is going to have the early access to Dragon Ball Super version of Trunks and extra characters. For this, with the phrase "early access" it lets me know that really you don't need to pre-order this copy at all. You can easily just wait until full access is available, unless you just want to play as the characters as soon as possible. The Collector's Edition is going to get you the Day One Edition plus a steel case, an art book, the sound track, and a Son Goku Master Stars Piece figure. The Collector's Edition will not give you early access to Future Trunks and other characters. But like I said, I'm pretty certain that those characters will be available later.

Also, Gamestop seems to have an exclusive Golden Bundle which is 64.99 and comes with the Day One Edition and a Funko 3 Glow in the Dark SSJ Goku mini figure. It won't give you the Trunks deal, but you do get a little something from the deal.

I hope that helps some of you guys. My only source is previous experience in pre-ordering games like Halo 4, Halo 5, WWE Games, GTA V, and other games.

True - at least keep the same number of tentacle dreadlock things...

It's already been confirmed that Earthlings and Namekians will just have a power-up of some sort, no exclusive transformations.

Really? I must've missed that. When did they say no exclusive transformations?

I'm in the no buff humans club, because, as people have mentioned before, Cell explained how everyone can do it and it's supposed to just slow you down.

From this post on NeoGAF that was quoted a little while ago in this thread:
Nameks and Humans will get an "awaken" ability, that works like transformation, except it doesn't alter them physically, just changes aura and stats.

I can live with that. I just really didn't want some weird new human transformation.

This is actually a good call. Simple and to the point just like how Toriyama operates.

Also, they ignored my question about if/when Steam orders would go up.
I'm not surprised by this. I ordered the Trunks travel edition of Xenoverse 1 pretty much as soon as it became available in the UK and I didn't get the SSJ4 Vegeta code. Hopefully this won't be the same.
