Can't believe we got Videl (Pregnant) :lol:

Couldn't these have just been costumes/variants for Videl and 18?

Also why not Bergamo?

Eh, I guess there's three more DLCs anyways.

Reasons why:
1. Bandai Namco had Dimps make a 9th gen console port of the game, so they wanna make their money back on the investment.
2. Dimps saw an opportunity to add more DLCs & did.
3. They wanna do another round of DLCs akin to Kakarot's where they do 3 story segments for the next DLCs & whatnot.

Now, I still don't understand why we can't play as our character from the first game in the multiplayer modes, but whatever.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Didn't an update allow us to choose other CaCs as partners/playable characters? Just recreate that character in another slot, and viola. Of course, you'll still have to level them up and such.

If they're going to reuse assets, is it really that hard to just do Super Bojack and Super Android 13?

Easier money than xenoverse 3. Simple as that.

While it is a bit weird that we're getting new versions of 18 and Videl, I do like that they're giving them attacks from other games like FighterZ and Super DBZ.

I mean, that's not what I'm talking about. That's more of a workaround than a true allowing us to play as our characters from the first game that we imported into 2. If we were truly allowed to do that, we would have them in the. character select menu regardless of if we've remade them in the game in another character creation slot. And, we'd be able to edit their moves & abilities.

So rather than add anyone from the endless supply of characters that have yet to be added, they add another version of a character already on the roster who has never fought in that incarnation, and made up moves for her? Just odd. That’s a costume, especially since Xenoverse has costume-dependent movesets. Same for #18, although fair enough since #17 gets his own Super slot.

You won't be able to buy TP Medals anymore, you can still earn them.

There will be exclusive items that you can only get with a paid currency:

What I think that is is something similar to Fortnite, where you buy the currency through the game. I won't lie, I think this is a more efficient system because I tried buying more TP medals several years ago, but the game didn't count them as being in my inventory for some reason on Xbox. I'd rather make sure I don't waste my money if I decide to buy TP medals.

I am so burnt out with this game for past few DLCs already, that I will skip this one.
I might be hyped a bit by for Fu's new form or some meaningful plot or endgame, but not interested in shelving more money on broken game, to get few generic dialogues between characters from original show being mixed in rehashed fights and getting 2 new characters each time, that I can't really enjoy playing with.
My completionist inside will be hurt, but I will save the money for Sparking Zero :)
Will check the stories from new DLCs on Youtube.

But anyway, cool and happy for the fans of this game, as they will receive another chunk of stuff.

It took them years but it finally seems they are propertly continuing the story rather than doing random episodic stuff with Fu.

But those "Ultra Supervillain" (they really didn't try to hide the Ultra Ego knockoff lol) look so weird. The crystal is cool and all but the shadowed body parts seem so random and don't look that good in-game (excluding cutscenes of course) but they look completely unrelated to the previous Villain states which is just odd.

I'm probably not buying them or getting back into the game after so long, but it does pick my interest to see they are finally doing something more unique, even if it took Sparking Zero's existence to do so.
