No 19. No Gero. No Cooler. No Chiaotzu. No imperfect Cell. No 2-3rd form Frieza.

Hype down by 70%. For me, at least.

You're basing this off the data from the network test (not even an alpha), not to mention a lot of speculation involved. Don't you think data would've been added since this test? They don't even include all the data in demos, much less betas, alphas, or network tests. More evidence of this to me is the fact that we were told that there would be over 200 special attacks, and the amount of attacks in the list sergioM3 leaked didn't even have 200.

Also, the more depth of the CaC that's revealed makes me care about the roster less and less. Something tells me I probably will just be playing with my own characters most of the time. Plus, I mean, those are decent characters, but we've been more or less seeing them as standards for the past 12 years. Are you really only 30% less hyped because Gero might not be in the game?

Am I the only one honestly not fussed about the numbers of characters?

I expect a large amount of characters from a Spike game, where it's fun to experiment with the different characters since the fighting mechanics are not that deep, and so the huge number of chars. gives a higher longevity. I don't expect a high number of characters for DiMPs games.

Sergio said that there were a lot of characters missing in the data so don't worry.

For example Goten is in the trailers yet he wasn't in the data.

Which is exactly why I wanted the roster to atleast have all the characters from B3, because now I do have a reason to experiment with them.

While I'm not sure I agree with this, it was pointed out to me that the "FRG" character code in Sergio's last video could potentially be Mecha Freeza since 17 and 18 were given the codes "G17" and "G18".

Now with the apparent gaps for Freeza's other forms, I'm not sure I see him being included. Also, with all his forms apparently being separate, Mecha Freeza could easily just be a costume for his true form. They wouldn't really need a different slot for him. Personally, for now I'm leaning toward it being "Freeza Grunt" or something, but the possibility does make me curious.

I don't believe, that Giants are going to be playable. They sound more like boss battles to me for this game...

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

I don't necessarily care about the number of characters either, to be honest. These minor characters are ok to battle against, but I personally never played with 19, 20, let alone Chouzou. I like the characters for the sake of having them, but I'm also happy about the ones they are including. Hoping they include some more movie characters though, I like fighting the stronger villains.

...which made sense because Freeza could transform into his 100% power form, which doesn't appear to be the case here. Hence the suggestion that he could just be an alt this time.

Wow, you people jump to the conclusions so quickly. It was the early version of the game. I can say. Hey, there's no Chaozu because there he wasn't on the list.
