Huh, that's interesting, so we don't unlock things in a linear manner, but in different ways depending on how we progress?

Kinda seems like you unlock story related characters and some of their more basic costumes in the Time Machine Quest (Story Mode), but the extra costumes come from the Parallel Quests? Because you fight the rainbow variety of Saibaimen in the Saiyan Arc, but this guy has characters from BOG unlocked and still doesn't have all the Saibaimen varieties.

Yet none of them seem to have unlocked the alternate costumes for Freeza, Cell or Buu to see if they have their Fiendish alternates, and nothing on Towa, Mira or Demigra either. :/
I saw a stream, where someone was using possesed Ultimate Gohan in a Parallel Quest.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

Well, I guess it's nice that you can at least use some of them in one mode or another. Kinda wish all the characters with the proper red marks under their eyes were in versus to use against whoever we'd want as well though. Maybe at least for Freeza, Cell and Buu, but I won't hold my breath for now.

Hey, a question. I have an Acer laptop from 2 years ago and has Window 7. Do you think Xenoverse will hold up well for my laptop?

So do we know if "Ultimate" Gohan is a separate character or a transformation?

He's a transformation. He's assigned to Gohan with the Goku dogi to use it... I'm assuming.

Anyone still doubting Towa, Mira and Demigra will be playable can put those doubts to rest now.

Alternate costumes change character's outfits, skills, and sometimes even names. I'm fairly certain all the teen Gohan versions, including Saiyaman, are on the that single slot. We've seen in him in the trailers transforming into Ultimate the was Super Saiyans transform in the game, but it's probably only available in the orange dogi.

1. Bardock
2. LSS Broli
3. SS4 Vegeta(?)
4. SS4 Goku
5. SS4 Gogeta
6. Super 17
7. Super Yi Xing Long

Which is why I am worried.

There has to be more than six slots still left unlocked. Super 17, Omega Shenron, SS4 Gogeta, SSJ4 Goku, Towa, Mira and Demigra are all confirmed to be in the game.

Towa, Mira and Demigra's two forms are in the game (I don't know if Towa fights though), but nothing has said these villains are playable. Just like up above, I've already filled the 7 slots with known characters:

1. Bardock
2. LSS Broli
3. SS4 Vegeta(?)
4. SS4 Goku
5. SS4 Gogeta
6. Super 17
7. Super Yi Xing Long

... shit...
I don't get why they wouldn't be playable unless you don't even fight any of them...

I've seen nothing with Towa, but Mira is fought on Namek at some point. I can't imagine Demigra getting a transformation just to sit around in a cutscene though.

But, as I've said many times in this thread (despite still loving this game): stupid decisions have been made repeatedly. :/

Now I'm afraid that they're going to be the characters in the second DLC pack...
