All right, I haven't been here in a while, and I don't have time to read back through a googolplex posts; what was the last confirmed character?

IGN has posted some new videos.

And check out the images while you are at it.

Speaking of IGN, I am still having hopes that their report holds true:
IGN wrote:Also, you can play the entire game in the original Japanese. This is true of both text and audio.
I'm not trusting it 100 percent though.

Edit- The alternate music's not that bad! As long as it's not out of place in the Story Mode, that is.

Yes! Uub has the candy-transformation move!

That Hildegarn vs Trunks one was cool-looking. Like a badass staredown thing.

Well in the previous one Buu was the strongest.

Surprise! This video shows a few great correction from the last game. Remember how SSJ4 Goku in the last game is very slow compared to his SSJ3 form? It doesn't make much sense and I never wanted to play as him. Now however, his combos are much faster! YAY! And there's another great correction. Find out for yourselves!

Pan got denied by Turles. That was getting 'owned' right there. Zangya rocks by the way.

Jesus Christ I am SO looking forward to this game!!
It just looks like (to me) the perfect Dragonball game.
Sparking was good, but it had too many errors, this games just cleaned'em all up, and it looks so hot.
Can't wait to be Zangya :P, revenge on Bojack! ^^
And if we DO get to keep the original music along with the new music, then it'd just be the iceing on the cake.

However one character hasn't been shown yet. It looks like Sparking! NEO will actually have a secret character! :D

Arrgh...you teaser! (kvon gets jealous, and deals with it by stealing EvilGamerX's copy of Sparking! NEO) :lol:

Did you just started, or are you one of those people who's been playing it non-stop?

Got the game today. It's freakin' awesome. Such a drastic improvement over the first one.

Oh, and in case you guys haven't heard about it, there was a rumour going around that when you landed in a city during story mode, your character only hovers around. Its bull, you can actually make them walk around as well, just lightly hold the analog stick in a direction, and they'll walk normally.

Also loving the way the battles in story mode pan out; you can literlly sense the difference in power as you battle a stronger opponent.

For those of you who got the game already, do you think that the music is one of the elements that affects the battles? Example: Saikyo no Fusion makes the battle more exciting, etc.

You can walk around in the cities? Wonderful!
Is there a world map in the way of Budokai 3 where in story mode you can fly from one place to another?

Well, kinda. When you land in a city, you're stuck in a boxed in area, but the way I see it, thats still much better than Budokai 3.

Oh hell yeah. The world map is bigger, more detailed and far more interactive. And the entire story mode seems to revolve around RPG-like elements, so exploring it is more of a neccessity than a novelty.
