That's still calling the race something. Either way we get an answer to what we'll call the race. If it's simply Freeza clan, then that's what everyone will label them as from now on.

I'm good with frieza clan and it's the only thing on a recent licensed product we have to go by anyway.

That's no excuse for him not being playable. Broly been a secret character in so many other Dragon Ball games, but once you find him and unlock him, you can play as him.
? Isn't he playable once you unlock him in this game?
So if a The Big B is a secret unlockable, does the same apply for atleast Miira and Domigra?

The New Guy's initials were atleast found in the Data mine.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

My spoiler free thread was closed for in my opinion poor reasons. Apparently if we want to learn anything about Xenoverse without being spoiled, too bad, cause you now have to risk it in here where spoilers won't be held back. No Xenoverse spoiler free discussions are apparently allowed unless you're super cautious in this thread.

In all honesty...what's there to spoil? The game designers have already pretty much told us everything. You make your own hero. You fix time. You can do alternate missions to play as "Villainous" villains/heroes and do bad things. You can play as dozens of different characters from the DBZ series. You can get other characters through unlockables and DLC. We have 21 stages. More stages unlocked through game play and DLC.

There isn't really anything we can spoil that wasn't given to use by Dimps or Namco/Bandai.

They haven't told us the entire story. They haven't told us all of the events or missions we will be doing. They haven't told us jack about Mira, Towa, or Demigra's backstory. We don't know much about that. We know premise, but that's it. By the end of next week, I'll bet the info about all these characters will be released once the game is out.

Some people like me wanted a place to discuss things without spoils, but now it's either here..or off site. A dragon ball discussion barred from the site.

Correcy me ifI am wrong but, from what I am seeing, we don't have skill trees(like what we got with Super DBZ), oh well would of been nice or at least interesting.

We boost attribute points after every level up. I think we get 3 each time.

About 75% of my decision about getting a PS4 rests in weather or not I get this game. I'm honestly probably going for it. It seems like an actual, though-out fighting game, unlike the past generation's games. I haven't ever played the likes of the Budokai games, so I haven't gotten to play a competent fighting Dragonball game. I also like this new story deal. The OC mode from UT was the only thing I even remotely like, and the Xenoverse OC is exponentially better sounding than that.

Of course, I'm absolutely neutral to the intro. I will likely watch it one time, the first time I play the game, and likely never again. I mean, it's the intro guys. An intro can't bring a 10/10 game down to a 6/10.

The specifics of the story missions themselves and the motivations of the villains aren't explained. However, the end result everyone knows because it's just obvious. You're CaC is the Hero. At the end of it, you save the day. That's just the end result of the story. It'll be fun getting to that point, but we know it's an eventuality.

That and the fact that we don't know if the game's story might either end with a "complete" ending or a cliffhanger. Sure, the CaC will be the hero in the end, but you never know how it might end. I say those are my two reasons for not wanting to see spoilers until I get it.

The only demo I've heard about is some GameStops featuring it in stores. But nothing downloadable or handed out.

Which we won't have to worry about. The full story, specifics and possible continuations via DLC an expansions won't be told to us. Like some other things, about complete rosters and such, as the Developer have said before, we'll know at Launch. Basically we'll know when we play it.

Do you think the ending could leave a cliff hanger toward the new film or a sequel game ect? Very interesting...

It's one thing to like the name, and it's another thing to perpetuate bad information just because you happen to like it. It's misleading, it's spreading misinformation, and frankly, it's inexcusable.
Eh? Well, it's what I was told. And regardless, it was a term used in the original English dub when King Kai was explaining the history of the Saiyans. Ultimately it doesn't matter if it was a dubbing error or the studio just pulling a name out of their collective backsides. In the end it was a term used to refer to Freeza's people and in the minds of some fans it stuck and perpetuated itself. Whether or not it's canon in the long run is irrelevant until Toriyama gives them a canon name.

All the other names, like Changeling and Icejins were pulled straight out of the fans own heads with no directive from the show or the companies involved.

I just call them The Cold Race. That makes sense to me seeing as all their names have something to do with Coldness.

Dude that's like me going "Goku beats Freeza, Goku beats Boo", so there's nothing to be spoiled. Which isn't really true at all. A lot of people could have figured those out as well just like practically the ending of most DBZ movies where Goku usually wins, but there's still spoilers to be had.
