I don't see why they don't just come out and say it already.
I pray he's customized.

Hmm.. I don't think Gohan would need any of Yamcha's energy during a battle. I guess it really is someone else huh.

Perhaps it's a bit of a stretch, but there might've been an incident that made him lose the ability to sense energy.

I want a city like this to be a real stage, as in, you can battle in it. They always give us some destroyed buildings and towns with grey sky and it's bleh. The same thing happened in BT2:
They should at least give us both as a swap option like Budokai as it had it. Start out on either version or have the destroyed one as the swap after the planet explosion.

People still thought it was picoolo's cape...... there arent any shoulder pads anywhere. How long will it take people to realize that. SSJGod trunks I've even heard.... right. And the potaras? Oh boy... this fanbase.... doesnt seem to know how anything works in this series...

However I'm still on edge if this is a created character or not. They're taking for ever to confirm it. A lot of people so far don't like the look of this guy on youtube and gamefaqs.
Zephyr wrote:The fandom's collective fetishizing of "moments" is also ridiculous to me. No, not everyone needs a fucking "shine" moment. If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

You don't think I know? Obviously it's an old concept. I'm just saying I'm intrigued by the fact that they are bringing a RPG element to Xenoverse, which I'm all for it. I've enjoyed KotOR games immensely. I wonder if they are bringing an adventure aspect to it...

The RPG element is a great thing to explore because Budokai, Budokai Tenkaichi, Raging Blast, Burst Limit and more already exist. We want something new, it doesn't need to be perfect, give us a flawed game with new concepts and we can run with it and improve it over time.

I think they are going to nail this one. After saying the game has been in development for two and half year, and with Dimps at their disposal, it's going to end up a very entertaining game. Since they are going to aim much higher than all previous games from 1986 up til now, I'm going to have a higher expectation.

Anyone think they are going to put 40+ hours worth of story mode into it? I mean, they are going to bring some kind of RPG in it. Since they are going to do that, does that mean it's also an adventure game as well?

Mortal Kombat's Deception's story mode felt like a RPG since the game had a open world feel to it and it has one of the longest story mode in MK history next to MK9 (Mortal Kombat (2011) ). DBZ has a big and open storyline that I think a story mode with over 20 hours long could work. Budokai 3 was pretty close to giving us that if they didn't rush the game out to reach the NA release date deadline. Budokai 3 was going to give everyone a story mode and a few other characters were plan as well.

Had a feeling this would be coming - the 'future warrior''s ability to transform into a Super Saiyan pretty much confirms for me that the guy has to be a player stand-in, much like what we had in Ultimate Tenkaichi...only hopefully refined even more and we can change that god-awful appearance. :P (Though I admit, he's growing on me, kinda...sorta...)

Very interested in this aspect of our answers and decisions 'altering the history' though. I can't wait to hear more about that.

"Altering the history" makes me think visual novels and "routes"; though I doubt this'll be anything like that.

I hope customizable future warrior can be female too.

From Bandai Namco's FaceBook:
The Warrior from the future is a Super Saiyan?! An alert received today states that this voyager can transform into a Super Saiyan. Several pictures taken corroborate this exclusive information! After all these years, have we finally found another survivor to Planet Vegeta’s destruction? This question remains unanswered …
Our reporters confirm that this enigmatic character has a strong link with the DRAGON BALL world as we know it. He seems to know Yamcha, Trunks and many other characters. Are this connection and his will to intervene in fights strong enough to alter History as we know it? Thanks to our reporters’ investigations, his identity might be uncovered in our next report…
DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE will be available on PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360.

I thought he was supposed to be a Trunks-character and now he looks a lot like Gohan.
