Toss in that it is very clear why Saiyans are named after vegetables. It's just "yasai", which means vegetable, with the syllables swapped.

Seriously, almost all DB names are puns. Popo and Porunga are some of the few that Toriyama has stated he didn't base off anything.

So...I'm totally making Kaio in this now. Taking a male Majin, making him short and blue, and putting him in Kaio's outfit which you can unlock.

With the skin tone, clothing and accessories you can recreate or at least resemble characters who won't be in the game. I'll base my male majin an alternative version of Majuub (where Buu absorbs Uub instead) and I'd imagine Mr. Popo replicas being the most common look for the male majins.

On another note, I heard some talk before about the story arc after "Demon God Demigur", the one about the "Legendary Saiyan". Some seemed to speculate it's an arc about Brolly, but since all the previous arcs covered the series Canon and EU, ignoring the non-canon arcs (like GT), then I don't find it likely that this would be about Brolly. In fact I feel it's about Bardock being thrown into the past in "Episode of Bardock". Which fits the whole theme of the game with Time being thrown out of whack.

Bardock does become a Super Saiyan which starts the whole legend and killed Freeza's ancestor, Chilled, which instilled the fear of the Super Saiyan into his family line. So I feel the "Legendary Saiyan" story arc will revolve around Bardock's trip to the past.

It's not going to be Bardock. The achievement icon shows Broli.

Doesn't make much sense to me. Guess whether or not that's true will be known at Launch. If they're puttin Brolly arc over all the others, then one hasta thing...how freakin hard is he gonna be? And are we gonna end up seeing a LSS3 Brolly like in Burst Limit? Or LSS4 Brolly from Heroes? How's that all gonna work? Cause really, I think I'd rather see a God Brolly. That'd be the most epic of all.

Broly had one form in Burst Limit, Legendary SSJ.

Anyway, I doubt we'll be seeing any what if forms considering all the new content the game is already bringing to the table over past DBZ games. And honestly I'd love to see him in this game, he's pretty much confirmed, but non of that what-if nonsense that seems to take priority in DB Heroes.

BL2 he had base, SSJ, LSSJ and LSS3. Vegeta got SS3 as well there. And everyone got it in Heroes. I don't mind the what-if stuff as much since Most of the games implement that material anyway and we're already getting SS4 Vegeta and such in Xenoverse. So I highly doubt Xenoverse will hold back on that material. If Dimps is being made to bring GT characters and Heroes characters into the game, they might as well shove'em all in there.

That was Raging Blast 2, Burst Limit sadly never got a sequel...

SSJ4 Vegeta was already a thing in GT, so it's not so much a what-if form as a noncanon form.

I am interested to see what all the game ends up having. I wonder if we'll get any nods to the new movie somewhere in the story mode...

Future games are going to be fun with Freeza, I'm sure.

Is it just me or is Broly a Dimps favorite? In B3 he was in the what if mode at the end of the Buu arc, and Kaioshin said that his power was even greater than Buu. He is the final boss in Burst Limit. In DB Heroes he transforms to SSJ4 and beats up everybody. And now he is the final boss in Xenoverse. It just seems weird to me. With the BOG characters he is inferior to Goku, Gohan, Buu, Beerus and Whis. And if you count fusions: Gogeta, Vegito and Gotenks. So why put a character as a final boss who is already outclassed by a lot of characters. I'd rather put the one of the new gods as a boss but that's just me. Still looks like it's gonna be a awesome game though.

That's right. I sometimes forget which one was which. There were so many, and none of them were good after Budokai 3. As far as anything concerning FnF, very doubtful. Especially since Xenoverse will release in all languages before the film is even finished. We might get DLC of elements from FnF later on, but probably not until it's hit Western shores in English, or just may end up exclusive DLC to Japan.

I hope we get more options on Arcosian (Freeza Race) head models. Cause I see it going in line of; Cooler Ult form, Freeza Berserker (heroes), Cooler, Froze (heroes), and Freeza (Base). Not much variety there. Not even Cold's/Freeza2nd upward turned horns. So I hope we get a bit more of a selection than that.

Yeah, kinda disappointed in the Freeza race options that are presented here at least. Freeza's third form head might be weird if it was the only odd one like that, so I can see why it may not have been included. I was at least hoping for Freeza's second form traits, Freeza's final form traits, Cold's traits, Kurieza's traits, Chilled's traits and maybe a better version of Coola's transformed head for more mixing and matching options though (since they didn't really do anything original for the heads). The one in the game curves the spikes towards the back of the skull, while the normal version traditionally fans outward without going back too far.

It's no just DIMPS, damn near every developer for Dragon Ball games thrown in Broly a bonus boss/character. Attack Of The Saiyan was worst example of including Broly in a Dragon Ball gamer ever. The storyline in that game only went as far as the first epic fight with Goku against Vegeta; with the final boss, in this case Vegeta. If you defeat him you could still free-roam around to get a few extras. One of these extras is fighting Broly and its made even worse by the fact he is a harder extra final boss. So Broly managed to appear in a continuity where he should not have ever been seen as in this game he managed to appear even before Frieza! That's insane! He is to Dragon Ball what Wolverine is to Marvel Comics, too popular for his own damn good and as a result is shoehorned to everything.

No offence, Beerus sama, but what if you were an extra boss in a AOTS sequel after you beat Frieza in his saga, after all, your popularity power level is through the roof(I assume you know where I'm going with this).

But yeah, I like it when Broly or ANY OTHER movie characters become secret bosses that are hard to defeat. It's like in SFIV where you fight Akuma after you beat Seth, or in Guilty Gear where you fight Order-Sol after you beat I-No. Again, I say, let's just hope Broly becomes that, because if he is the ACTUAL final boss, then that is a bummer. Y'know I sorta wish NB put the Demigra and Broly achievements on secret, but then again, we would complain about Beerus or Kid Buu being the final boss of the game.

I doubt Broly will be anything special if his trophy score is anything to go by. Demigra is a 75 and Broly is only a 15. At the most hes likely gonna be a little bonus with no extra on the story. Its not like we beat Beerus or Demigra and Broly shows up and whoops them, leaving him to be the final boss.

Hes here to appease the fanboys, nothing more. Well still be able to kick his manboobs down his throat

I think that the lower score just means his "arc" will be far shorter. If he's coming after Demigra I don't doubt that they'll hype his power a lot, they have in every other DIMPs game he's appeared in.

A single fight, with some pre-fight dialogue about how he's oh so strong would still fit a 15 point achievement.
