Does there need to be roster reveals for this game? Unless there are what ifs or GT charcacters it seems unnecessary at this point. We already know from Raditz to Buu is the direction, so what's left other than the previous 2 I've mentioned?

GT is most likely in.

I saw the datamine videos, but I'm speaking on official confirmations or scans. Is there any need if we know they're going from Raditz to Buu?

Of course there is! Boz is "raditz to buu" as well, but important Z characters was missing anyway (like zarbon and dodoria...and jiaozi), so I'm (we are) worried about this game as well.

Well I suppose there are different way to handle the same story with characters, but for this game that revealed the Buu saga at pre alpha, I can't imagine a reveal that would excite people. Maybe Zarbon and Dodoria are reassurance characters, but nothing to make reveals about.

Sérgio confirmed there's some GT characters like Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Omega Shen Long he probably listed more but can't remember.

Not every god damn game has to only feature characters of the Z portion because not only is it getting really old but we've had it for years without any changes in the roster (except in RB2 that had two new character).

Thank god this one features characters from Heroes, CaC, Z and GT. Would be cool if it had DB too.

He says they've only worked on it for a year while in an interview taken in July they said that they have been working on it for 2.5 years so which is it ? With the amount of content in this game i go with the 2.5.

This is where they say 2.5 years : http://www.saiyanisland.com/2014/07/dra ... 2-5-years/

There is a lot of stuff they didn't show yet ? that's amazing.

Maybe they were talking about the planning stages for the story and stuff. Who knows? Or they could have lied; I truly wouldn't put it past a company to do so.

The only thing i can think of is the games' development wasn't known to anyone in the company outside Japan until late 2013 cause if it was only worked on for a year it would probably turn out like spike's games.

I think it's funny how these people keep saying "new" this and "new" that, but don't seem to want to admit that DBO was their influence. I mean, I understand that the general fanbase may not know what that game is since it never saw release outside of the Asian territories, but most of this stuff is new to consoles, it isn't as new in general as they seem to be hyping.

Froze is a normal nerd-kid that plays the DBHeroes card-game, and by entering inside the game, he takes the Freeza Clansman form to fight. The characters inside the game fight by video-game logic, so you can have Super Saiyans having trouble against General Blue.

And he is technically in the game, since you have all the parts to create him (right?).
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Yes. He's even drawn as one of the promotional avatars. In-game though, his "shoes" have currently been shown to be red with purple toes instead of white with purple toes like everywhere else, but it is still intended to be him.

So they are recognizing Heroes, at least within the conceptual stage. With the interview at BGS confirming some sort of fan service transformation wise, it sounds like I can be happy for a DB game again.

I wonder if we havent gotten SSJ Pan in Heroes yet because she's gonna be in Xenoverse as a result of the timeline altering Towa and Mira are causing. THEN she'll be introduced into Heroes as it's going into DBO/Xenoverse content.

I could see something like that. Maybe XV and Heroes cooperation DLC. As Heroes gets updates, so will Xenoverse. That would be pretty cool.
