Whether you liked the CaC and story or not, it was a big breath of fresh air.

I feel you, man. I'm a little surprised at the complaints as well, but as they say, to each his own. I think the CaC system is great and it brings something new to the table. It's not like we still can't play with the normal characters.

Especially being African American, I enjoy the opportunity to be represented in a franchise I've enjoyed for years.
I also have a great feeling about this story mode guys.

While I've never had as much of a problem playing through the same old story as a lot of people do, I also have to agree that I can't understand why us finally getting a story that they had to put actual effort into is a bad thing. Heck, that's what I don't get about 90% of the complaints about this game. This thing just oozes effort. So much so that I really want it to succeed to see what they might improve upon in a sequel, just like how Budokai was pretty fun but looking back wasn't that great, but by the time you got to Budokai 3...oh man.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, and there are things that I'm not fond of with this game too (how costumes work with characters, lack of transformations for non-Saiyan charactes, hair not changing for Super Saiyan, etc.), but I consider that all extremely minor compared to everything else that just looks amazing.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Anyway I've been checking out a few gameplay videos and its looking like it's gonna be awesome. I do have a question though, I've seen some gameplay I've the character creator for the Freeza type race, I'm just wondering if they're are different body types or costumes for them because it didn't seem to be an option in the video I watched.
You can only customize your character's head from the start. It's dumb because this isn't how it worked in the series, but the body armor they have on at the start is a costume (which can have the colors altered), but if you want a different armor type, you need to collect said "Freeza Clan armor" clothing item.
Ah I see, that sorta makes sense. Ok 1 more question, can you play through the story again after you beat the game and use whatever costumes and setups you want from the start?

Also thanks or the reply :D

I still swear I remember people talking about Janemba early on in this game's thread though, and even having a link to 'Mentor' audio with him or something...but for the life of me I seem to be the only one that remembers this coming up.

Aha! I found the video that had been posted earlier on, and Janemba is indeed in it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDnFdLmcqhk @ 5:46-ish

So...did this turn out to not be audio from Xenoverse at all? Is Janemba in there as a master we meet/can learn moves from but isn't actually in the game to play as or fight against himself? Or...something else?

Actually, Cui and Android 16 are both in this video too...and Android 18's audio is definitely Colleen Clinkenbeard, not Meredith McCoy who I thought had been confirmed to be coming back yet again for this or something. Huh.

Some say it's fake and that the audio is taken from UT. Personally I have no idea, I don't remember those quotes from UT but that could be because I haven't played that game in forever.

I don't know if your previously obtained items will apply if you create an entirely new character on a new custom slot in the start menu, but you can replay any of the missions with any customization setup you want for a a character you've already beaten the game with. You just need to go to the Time Storage Vault in the Time Nest from the Time Square at one end of Toki Toki City.

Phew. Last bit is a mouthful.

No idea. But even if it is actually in the game data (along with 16), it wouldn't be the first time content that was planned didn't make it to the final product. :/

True, true. Could turn out to be a case pretty much like the 'Shin', 'Dodoria', 'Zarbon', and 'Android 19' Announcer call-outs for Budokai 3 or whichever one it was.

Maybe we'll get lucky though and one of the other DLC packs will turn out to have some more characters, chiefly people to further flesh out the story and perhaps a few more movie people (though I'd be kind of surprised if Janemba made it in that way but not Cooler).

Maybe. As much as I want main story characters like 16, Dodoria and Dabra as well, I rather not see them as DLC for this game. Mainly because I feel the chances of them releasing story missions centered around that content is actually pretty high, as they are doing with the GT Story Quests in Pack #1 along with Goku, Trunks and Pan. With almost all of the story being so linear (except the special Broli and Bardock quests), I feel it would be weird to retread arcs we already played through just for the sake of a few characters. I rather subsequent DLC cover new story parts we haven't traversed, like Super 17 and the Evil Dragons (assuming Pack 1 only covers Bebi and that San and Si Xing Long are released in Pack 2 along with the quests), otherwise a few special movie based quests would be more ideal for me. Give us Chilled for Episode of Bardock? Coola? Janenba? Something to utilize Jaco?

I may be upset at the exclusion of some of these characters, but this game is pretty story driven. 3/4 of those options are much better choices to extend the story with more missions, various types of missions and increasing difficulty with the number of enemy waves to face.

So can CaCs not get Spirit Bomb as an Ultimate?

And do some characters only have 1 Ultimate (including transformation)?
