What 'bad news' keeps coming? That's really the only thing I've heard so far that's majorly had me go 'aww, that sucks'. Even so though, I think there's enough positives here to handle something like that.

So, this is the final list?
So, Miira, Towa, Domigra, and not even Broli are playable?!

Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

If that's the final list, anyone got a good translation handy? And does this final list seem to count DLC characters, or is the list without them?

Wait, so if that list is accurate, Goten doesn't get his Super Saiyan form, and Vegeta doesn't get his SS2 form? That...seems weird, even compared to Cell Games Gohan not having a base form, or Gotenks not having SS either. Huh. :/

Wait, looking at it too, GT Goku doesn't seem to get any of his SS forms either. That's even more odd.

Trunks (Xeno) isn't on that list... unless he's an alt for SSJ Trunks, but that's not how it was from the datamine from what I remember. I don't know how accurate that list is...

This looks more like a pre-release confirmed character list to me.
It's the 14th Xenoverse thread on 2ch and the OP is obviously trying to post all the important information to the first posts.

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

So they introduce 3 new characters and think it's a good idea to not have them be playable ? That's Namco Bandai logic for you :clap: .

I think it's safe to say we will never get a good Dragon Ball game unless it's by another publisher.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Here we have the game's opening:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAk-IoQgbuM
Judging from the fact, that the song is muted, it's safe to say, that the song is indeed FLOW's version of CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA, probably with Trunks wishing for a warrior.

The roster has not be confirmed yet. It should be noted that characters such as SSJ4 Goku, SSJ4 Gogeta and Omega Shenron were not spotted in the roster of any livestream. Indicating those characters need to be unlocked. So for all we know there could at least a dozen more characters that have to be unlocked through playing the story mode.

Stunning animation. :clap:

But still no Hironobu Kageyama? Fail. :thumbdown:

...Or maybe Bandai Namco blocked the opening tune because they don't to want to anybody to know anything about the game so early before release. So it still could be Kageyama for all we know :think:

The latest trailer used FLOW's Chala so it's kinda a given at this point. I dislike how they constantly rehash the same song into new games. Come on, Battle of Gods was released in 2013 and we're in 2015 already.

Even if they couldn't hire Kageyama for unknown reasons, Tanimoto would be good as well (considering he sings for Dimps to DB Heroes)

Isn't SSJ2 Vegeta Super Vegeta 2? I dunno why but names Super Vegeta 2 or Super Trunks 3 brings back a lot of memories.
