Seeing how Dimp are known for putting unique costumes in the Budokai games(like casual jacket Krillin and turtle school gi Ginyu), i wonder if Beerus' alternate costume will be a simple recolor(like it was in battle of Z) or a unique costume?

I just wonder if we'll see Naruto's Sage outfit like we have before. They did make that a thing.

Senin Goku was in because Storm 3 had a Goku outfit. Xenoverse has Jaco, so I'm guessing that's all the outside content we'll be getting.

That is if training here is anything like Ultimate Tenkaichi's, which I absolutely hope it is because UT had a good training system what with doing a series of matches and progressively unlocking your mentor's moves, ultimate, and eventually basic moveset. Would be a shame if customs are stuck with their default melee combos.
There's this achievement:

A friendship rainbow sky - Friendship level up with all the masters.

Maybe we get more than one session with each master.
This reminds me of a dating game now lol. I wonder how you can level up friendship though. Is it really just by fighting? Would be cool if you could give gifts and stuff.

A Dragon Ball parody of a visual novel could potentially be hilarious.
Vegeta never calls it a friendship. He compliments your skills, but never smiles when he does so.
Gokû's route doesn't have an ending because no one ever advances past 'friendship', not even Chi-Chi.

Gifting is possible if what the trophy list says is true. What is available to gift remains unknown. Would be cool to be able to send item parts and accessories to other people.

You could already do that in the beta/network test. Or the kiosk was there at least, I never had anything worth sending to see if it was actually functioning.

Well all we had were Piccolo, Goku, and Raditz's gear to gift (if you were lucky enough to obtain it). I imagine battle items would be possible as well though I never tried.

Holy moly, the game's out next month and the official site still doesn't have any character renders/bios outside of Trunks and Goku. Supwidat?

Zelvin wrote:Same as before, get the essential experience for Cell by just making an Arcosian/Freeza race character. Can even make a Dabura looking figure using Namekians somewhat. An actual Demon race would cover most of the basis for Bojack, Garlic, Dabura and so forth. The only thing is what would they actually bring to the table? What abilities would they have to differentiate themselves from the 5 races we already start off with?
The demons like Dabra/Dabura or Janemba would give the character magic-based abilities. If you see their gameplay in Zenkai you'd see what I mean, they can open portals, deflect attacks, create weapon constructs as projectiles, create paralysis seals, summon magic gysers, turn characters to stone momentarily etc.
Zephyr wrote:The fandom's collective fetishizing of "moments" is also ridiculous to me. No, not everyone needs a fucking "shine" moment. If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

I'd be more inclined to say yes if costumes didn't work the way they did for the original DBZ characters. There may not be room for special costumes, as a lot of them will probably be doubles to give some of the appropriate costumes all the transformations since we don't seem capable of customizing them.

Why is EB Games Australia listing the release date as 26/2/2015... guys...

Please don't let this be like the horror that was the release of Tenkaichi 2 on the Wii. I'm pretty sure that game got delayed by a week for about 6 weeks every time it was close to coming out.

Wow, really? Especially when Steam is still 17/2 for Australia, I think that's really poor coming from EB games.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

I've contacted Bandai Namco AU for an official response.
