I'm kind of sad that Vanilla Ice didn't make it. He was one of my favorite minor villains, and his stand was awesome. He's the only character from the rumored list that I think really should have gotten in.

Part 6: Anasui, Weather Report, FF, 1 extra villain

Footage from the game featuring Hermes' panties...but I have no idea how to watch it.
Character select screen! Notice how there's space for more characters to be added-
Rumor has it the game is expected to have around 20 extra characters as DLC, though the way I see it, most parts will aim to have 8 characters in total (mainly Parts 3-6 IMO).
Just pick any 2 characters from my last per part and you'll have a more reasonable character set.

That will be crazy expensive to get them all if true.
For the record: 3=4>2>6>8>1>5>7 (JoJolion is fast becoming my favorite JoJo with the way it's going now.)
I started with Stardust when SJ sold the volumes in NA, then I went to finish it from 1 to 7. I find Phantom Blood better than V mainly because I appreciate the cast a bit better than the cast in V.
Steel Ball Run...maybe I need to re-read it, but it went painfully slow.
DLC lineup's sounding pretty solid if the game sells like RHCPs. *crosses fingers for F.F and Petshop*

It will cost more than buying the actual game. By almost double.(If they all cost as much as fatty)
So yeah I don't buy that. Even if they'd only release one a month that's updating the game for the next two years almost
I'm getting a 3000 yen points card, which should cover 5 characters at 600 yen.
I don't expect any more than that honestly. and if there are I probably won't buy them

I really need to get this game on release. I'm like, the biggest Jojo fan I know (not saying a lot there, right?). I read through all of the series twice this year and I'm going for thirds.
Either I spend 84 bucks and get it two weeks later (if that), or 100 in PSN codes.
Decisions.

No mention of a digital version yet?
Considering that a lot of recent Bandai Namco releases in JPN has had a digital version, Jojo's not having one caught me by surprise.

Ah. I didn't see the usual katakana for a download version on the game's main site so I was left wondering about it.
Definitely picking this one up no matter what though.

Yes it is. All I know is that people can turn into cars? I only know that because of gifs that have been posted in past fighting game threads.

Damn, play asia played me again. It really is only about 17,000 on ami ami (which I just found out about)
Oh well, it's Jojo

Haven't bothered importing, hoping on an EU release at least.
No Foo Fighters or Diego either, and the only character who is confirmed who I'd play as is Narancia. The DUWANG favouritism is very painful, I want more Steel Ball Run.

Initial character selection is centered on the chapters that are most popular in Japan.

I thought Japan loved Part 3 and Part 5 the most though?
While turning into a car probably isn't even an ability I'd consider strange in Jojo, I think you were probably just misinterpreting what was going on due to a lack of context.
Anyways, the series is a long-running (and still ongoing) manga and has had several anime and video game adaptations. A lot of people were first exposed to it by the amazing Capcom fighting games. It's a very popular and influential series - there's quite a few well-known fighting game characters whose designs were based off those from Jojo. Guile, Benimaru, Rose to name a few.
There's 8 parts to the manga - while there is a distinct timeline and many connections between the parts, each part has a different main character and (mostly) different cast. It's called 'Jojo's bizarre adventure' because the main character's name can be shortened to 'Jojo', for example Joseph Joestar or Jotaro Kujo.
Parts 1 and 2 can be summed up as 'dudes built like brick shithouses use supernatural martial arts to fight vampires and similar vampire-like beings'. Part 2 is particularly awesome since it's got cyborg nazis and the greatest protagonist ever.
Afterwards, the focus shifts to abilities called 'stands'. Which are basically kind of a guardian spirit that 'stands' by the character who summons them. Only people with stands can perceive other stands, everyone's stand has a unique ability, and as an archetypical battle manga the series is all about the crazy fights between the protagonists and whatever weird-ass opponent they run into that week. Stand abilities can be conventional like simply being strong and fast or controlling fire, or abstract like 'if you lose against me at a video game, I steal your soul'. Most of the characters in this game are stand users.

Part 3 and 4 have equal representation outside of DLC characters and Part 5 is only behind by one
Kira and Fatty are DLC. So it seems weird to throw them in the tally towards part 4 favoritism if there are more on the way from other parts

Actually, 4 seems more popular than 5. High schooler protag in small town in Japan, Jotaro's in it, Rohan's in it.

I think Giorno and Jotaro/Dio are more popular/iconic than their parts as a whole

Result of the character popularity poll done for characters that had been revealed by mid-June (in Japanese, but you there are pictures of each character):

I think Josef's position was influenced some by the recent anime

Dio deserves that slot, though-it's been Jotaro at 1 and Dio at 2 pretty much since part 3 started running.
The results are kind of tweaked, but bear in mind these are just people who visited the site and voted.

I know Dio has always been popular
but I mean their really strong anime showing has probably done wonders for their popularity. The voice actors of both roles were great matches
and yeah Jotaro being that far down surprised me. Same with Rohan and Giorno not breaking top 10
