There not being a demon (glind/kai) race is extremely disappointing. Especially since they went so far as to give ROM a cool, original transformation. At the very least, I hope the new transformation means they'll extend that creativity to the races that need them.

But there not being a demon race is just a huge bummer. That was the only other (non Saiyan) Race I would have wanted to play.

I'm bummed out there is no Bio Android race. I'm hoping you can now recolor every item of clothing. If thats the case you could fo a Freeza build with the Cell head and wings easier.

The more I learn, the less interested I become. Purportedly there is going to be 130 characters at launch. However, as we know from experience, that doesn't literally mean 130 characters. A good 10 of them are going to be Goku. Another 6 or so Vegeta's. Gogeta and Gogeta Blue are also likely to be separate and so on and so forth. A lot of the roster is going to comprise the same character in a different state. Like Freeza (Final Fom) and Freeza (Timebreaker). So this 130 characters is more like 40-50 actual characters and we're still not getting OG Dragonball characters like King Piccolo nor other movie characters like Garlic Jr. and Dr. Wheelo. Plus Universe 6 and Universe 11 characters are going to be notably absent besides Toppo & Jiren and Kale, Caulifla, Cabba and Hit.

Then we have the addition of the Android race which is a complete nothing here. Because what's the difference in appearance between an Android and an Earthling? None. Unless it's either the Gammas (in which case you're just a shark-headed and gray-skinned Namekian) or a Cell-type, then it's an utterly pointless addition to the game. Kaioshin/Makaioshin are something we all wanted and are not getting. Some claim we are getting them, but if it's not in the demo or beta, I wouldn't count on it.

I still find the Super Hero aesthetic to be atrocious. The DBSSH simply wasn't good imo and all it did was take ideas from previous DBZ movies. It just recycled story elements and character ideas we'd already seen before. And in so far as we know right now , there has been no overarching villain for this game. In XV1 we had Towa, Mira and Demigra. Then XV2 focused more on Towa and Mira, then shifted to Dabura and Fu. But XV3? Right now we've got nothing.

One thing I'm noticing in the gameplay trailers is we once again are stuck dealing with indestructible environments and I'm so sick of them.
