PLEASE DONT SPOIL ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE GAME!

Just wondering, how many custom characters is it possible to make in XenoVerse?

Wait, really? I had heard that it was ten somewhere in the main Xenoverse thread.

Eight, but you can wish for more slots to create even more.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Can you? That wasn't an option on Shenlong's translated wish list...

Not exactly. You can wish to remake your character's appearance from scratch (height, width, eyes, hair, nose, etc) and save it as a alternate costume.

Theoretically you can make 8-10 characters with one using the wish.

I'm pumped for this game. Wait, do you have to play the entire story every time you create a new character?

I doubt it. Though I am hoping we have the ability to re-play the story mode with new custom characters without having to do it on a new save file.

I don't think it works like that. When you turn on the game, you pick a custom character slot and start up a new save. After that, your custom character is what gets you access to everything. All the local and online content is reached by using your avatar to go to the correct location in Toki Toki City. You can return to the Time Storage Vault at any time to replay the Story Missions, but only as the character you are playing the file of.

As of right now, with what I've seen of the character selection screen, I'm not even sure you can access your other created characters from the other files for use in things like the versus mode without literally switching to their save file (which would cause you to lose access to the one you were originally playing).

Well crap, that kind of sucks and almost defeats the purpose of us even having more than one custom character slot. :/

It kinda would, other than the fact that I don't think collecting the Dragon Balls and wishing to re-customize your character allows you to change race or gender.

But in all the demos, when more than one avatar was available, there would be multiple avatar icons on the selection screen (one for each race/gender that was available). Now, I don't know if that was a demo only thing, if it has become more complicated in the final product or if those extra icons pop up in versus mode or whatever after you've actually made more than one character (though I'm doubting it). It's kinda hard to tell who has made what while just watching online streams and stuff...

So you're telling me you only have one slot available from the start and you have to work for the extra 7? WTF!!

Eh...it sucks, but I really don't care. 'm gonna be using my first character most of the time. After all, it's like that with games that have this, you'll have to play through the story to have your characters powerful.

I don't mind having to work for other character slots, that's no different from having to work to unlock already existing characters. What I'm worried about is whether or not we'd be able to re-play Story Mode with a second custom character or do versus matches with different original characters against each other or not.

For the former, it'd just add even more replay value for me, personally. The game already seems to have tons, but being able to re-visit story mode with new custom characters would have been nice.

For the latter, I'm sure my girlfriend will be making a character or two in the game as well, so it'd be nice to be able to have our two custom characters duke it out.

You shouldn't have to work for the extra slots. As far as I'm aware, you just need to exit the save file and start a new one in one of the extra slots, but I'm not sure how all the unlocking works in that case or whether these other slots have any impact on the roster of the other save files (allowing you to use multiple avatars in versus). Do you have all the clothes, items and characters from the other save file, or are the separate? Levels definitely would be.
