Guess I'll post my more detailed translation.

Familiar characters and people:
Kids, in this game there is a great amount of people and characters. In fact, as you may know, the map is 100% recreation of the DB manga's Earth. Absolutely every place we saw in the manga, but even so, everything has evolved 200 years and a few places have changed drastically. In addition to the locales that we all know there are also new locations that we have never seen, and many which have been created over the years, like the villages of the Majins and the Namekians. The number of people is so great that reviewing all of them could take us months and months of dedication of only that each day. To be honest traveling the map has giving us the sensation of actually traveling the Dragon World.. and the map is not even complete. Many locations are left, more than half the map has not yet been added to the game, but in the future I'm sure they will finish it completely. In a press conference they even dropped that Penguin Village would be included.
For the moment I will leave a few characters appearing in the year 1,000 and a few people too. Let's go. We'll start with the most well known:
Piccolo:
SNIP
SNIP
We can find Piccolo as an NPC in a zone infested with evil Namekians. He gives a mission that has to do with those Namekians. His physical appearance changed in that he has changed his boots and some wrinkles have appeared in the corner of his mouth.
SNIP
Kame Sennin:
SNIP
We can visit Muten-Roshi on his island, near Kame House. We can catch him with or without shades. His changes have been having a larger mustache and a new new model of glasses for the season of the year 1,000.
SNIP
SNIP
SNIP
Umigame:
SNIP
We can speak with Umigame right at the beginning of the game, where we appear in the age of Raditz, before he comes to Earth. In the year 1,000 we can find other different types turtles around the map:
SNIP
SNIP
Fortuneteller Baba:
SNIP
Baba we still can't find her in the game, but we know she's there, since we have her character design.In the future they will surely implement the part of the map were we will find her palace, now that an image of the map of DB we can see that part. Baba's changes are that her hair has grown and some black nails have grown sharp.
We can also see her ghost servant. I'm sure it's not exactly him, because there are many that as NPCs and there are some green ones:
SNIP
SNIP
Additionally we have this concept-art where we can see some type of boat-house with Baba's symbol. This means that perhaps her palace isn't her house, if not only her workplace:
SNIP
We also have the Mummy, although we don't know if it's him or a costumed actor, because he appears by a film crew:
SNIP
Karin:
SNIP]
In the game we can visit Karin's Holy Land and scale the famous tower. At the bottom of the tower still stands Tao-Pai-Pai's pillar in the ground, very old and full of moss. Once climbed the tower Karin gives us a quest that once conquered we'll convert us to adults directly(¿?)...It is the only way to grow:
SNIP
SNIP
They've even made a statue in his honor:
SNIP
Mr. Popo:
About Mr. Popo, the only indication that we have are the Popo Stones, located in different places across the map. Their function is to return us to the location where we last saved if beaten in battle. As you can see those stones have the entire face of Popo:
SNIP
Muri:
SNIP
There are three zones where the characters start the game, each with their own, mayor or someone in charge. The Namekians start at a Namekian village, the area is called Porunga's Rocks and Muri remains the patriarch of the Namekians.
SNIP
Shenlong:
SNIP
Of course, Shenlong appears in the game. The truth is that there are many sets of Dragon Balls, as such there are various Shenlongs:
SNIP
Cow Guy:
SNIP
This guy I have no idea who he is. I don't know his name, but I guess he is part of the Ox-Demon King's family, more likely his descendant...But if he is Ox King's descendant it means he is Chi-chi and Goku's descendant as well. All that we know about him is that he is the mayor of Kokkara Village, a sort of village-school, it's also the place where humans begin the game.
SNIP
Black guy with glasses:
SNIP
This guy is the mayor of Pran Pran, the place where the Majins begin the game, a village Majin. I would say he is a descendant of Oob.. But there's something that calls attention (get ready for a crazy theory made by HECTOR4), his glasses, his book, his vest. To me he has an air of Son Gohan. With the whole Goku teaching Pan and Oob... what if Oob and Pan and got together? XDDD
In addition, there are many NPCs throughout the map, that look like this guy, that swarms around town teaching children, with his book and everything:
SNIP
Bee:
SNIP
Mr. Boo's Dog is already dead, but we can see a statue built in his name with the letter B and everything. Additionally his race of dogs are numerous in Majin villages and even some of these dogs act as guardians at the gates of the village.
SNIP
SNIP
SNIP
Mr. Boo:
Someone who surely has died. The patriarch of the Majin race. Throughout the game we can see numerous monuments honoring him, like a fountain for some sewers and turn to a kind of aqueduct, all trimmed with a bust or head:
SNIP
SNIP
SNIP
Another monument is a park with trees trimmed into the form of Mr. Boo:
SNIP
Mr. Satan:
In the game there are the hints to the great, legendary hero too. In the year 1.000 big billboards exist publicizing movies made about Mr. Satan's victory in the Cell Games, titled (in a clear homage to Star Wars) Satan Wars and Satan Returns.
SNIP
SNIP
We can also find statues made in his honor, and in honor of the great and legendary stomach pains suffered by the world's greatest hero:
SNIP
Man-Wolf:
SNIP
Man-Wolf, who we can see has not changed at all, we find him around and even helps us fight some enemies. Here he is in human form and wolf form:
SNIP
SNIP
Toninjika:
SNIP
Toninjika apparently has returned to Earth somehow before Jackie Chun destroyed the Moon, and he looks exactly like we last saw him. We can also see his house and it appears he has other minions. The only thing I know is when speaking with him we can see a scene where he speaks with his subordinate and converts them into a carrot. Around his home there are plenty of carrots, huge and small ones, and also numerous wild rabbits.
SNIP
SNIP
SNIP
SNIP
Giran:
SNIP
A place that was briefly shown in the manga is the town of Giran. In the game we can encounter and see a tombstone of one of the most Giras(this is how Giran's race is called)
SNIP
Nam:
SNIP
Another place briefly shown in the comic is Nam's village. In the game we can visit it. The funny thing is that they have thrived and there is a curious statue erected on behalf of Hoi-Poi capsules, which spared them of the long drought.
King Chappa:
SNIP
We do not encounter King Chappa in the year 1.000, instead at a Time Leap Quest that leads up to just before qualifying for the 23 º Tenkaichi Budokai. What we discover around the mats of the playoffs.
Garnet Farm:
SNIP
Surely this is the of that farmer who was killed by Raditz, whose name may have been Garnet. Close to the farm is the lineup:
SNIP
And an NPC who appears:
SNIP
Mo-Mo Milk:
SNIP
It is also a farm where they sell milk. There an NPC will give us a mission to deliver milk, like Krillin and Goku did during their training:
SNIP
Announcer:
SNIP
The Announcer of the Tenkaichi Budokai returns and appears in the year 1.000. Well, no, I don't think it's him, perhaps a descendant of his, but the truth is that he looks exactly like the old.
Soma (o Sona) Kahn:
This seems to be the descendant of the famous actor named Barry Kahn, who Boo copied her face to kiss a girl. When can see signs of her band (I think) in many places, and themselves (or any NPC with their appearance) also appear there:
SNIP
SNIP
Bear Bandit:
SNIP
In the same Time Leap Quest of the 23º Tenkaichi Budokai Chi-Chi fights the Bear Bandit that wanted to demolish Umigame at the beginning of the story. This occurs before Chi-chi enters the tournament's qualifiers. Bear Bandit now has a couple of minions.
SNIP
These are his minions:
SNIP
¿Pilaf?:
SNIP
SNIP
Well of course, I place Pilaf with questions because it is not clear whether he is or not. It is speculated to be a descendant of his. Well why? It's because this guy's name is translated from Korean Paella...Yes, you read correctly, Paella, the typical plate of ours...And the symbol that he has on his clothes is different from Pilaf's. And you see that accompanying him is a guy like Shu, that is not Shu, this guy is called Ron. There are also more types out there like Shu:
This is called Pulta:
SNIP
This is referred to as Station Engineer Technician:
SNIP
And this is a Supply Sergeant:
SNIP
Well, Ron and Paella appear at the gates of the castle of Pilaf, and when we enter it we face an army of Freeza's soldiers that take form of statues of Pilaf, Shu and Mai:
SNIP
And how intriguing, this is a science-related NPC that is similar to Mai:
SNIP
SNIP
#16:
SNIP
We can see #16 after entering Pilaf's castle, in a room with a laboratory. It seems that #16 was fabricated into a series, because in the background we can see capsules which say: 16 A, 16 B and 16 C. Needless to say, the new #16s have been repaired and follow their creator's orders.
SNIP
SNIP
Tao-Pai-Pai:
SNIP
SNIP
Or rather Tao-Pai-Pai X, which is the name the new version of the Tao-Pai-Pai Cyborg. This character we find as a Boss in an underground mine, and even has a kind of student (although it seems it is a clone of his young version) that knows his Kiko-Ho:
SNIP
SNIP
His student (or clone):
SNIP
Dr. Gero:
SNIP
We find Dr. Gero in his new laboratory... and nothing else. Well yes, we do not know if a new Dr. Gero was rebuilt, if it is a clone or is the original ... It could be anything:
Red :
SNIP
The commanding general of the defunct Red Ribbon. It appears that his brain has been reconstructed and has been placed in the body of a new cyborg called #9. We find him in the ruins of the old base of the RA.
SNIP
SNIP
Other interesting facts and hints:
This NPC of a little Indian looks a lot like the character that was the daughter Sherman Priest, whose village was attacked by a young Oolong:
SNIP
There is a statue erected in commemoration of that mermaid Goku gave Kame Sennin to accept him as a student. The statue shows us that mermaid on Kintoun:
SNIP
The scraping of fish is very similar to that Goku licked in the Piccolo Daimaoh saga, which belonged to Yajirobe:
SNIP
This plowed field, added to the possibility of wearing a turtle shell reminds us of the Goku and Krillin training with Kame Sennin:
SNIP
SNIP
Whew~ That was a doozy, but it was worthy to spread the knowledge of this awesome info.
EDIT:Cleaned up translation some more.
