Dragonball MMO

As the review explains, the game's Korean version is being user-tested. So it's anyone's guess when the US version will be ready. I for one am excited. I just hope it's a free MMO.

Some basic information. There are three races: Halfbreed Human/Saiyajin, Namekian, and Majin. Namekians are male only, while Humans and Majins are both. Each race has a choice of two classes to choose from. Each class has two specializations to choose from once you reach a certain level.

Something a little different - when you create your character you are a child. It looks like perhaps you would grow up over the course of the game, somewhat reminiscient of Fable.

Other than that it looks fairly standard. I'm looking forward to its release.

I like the graphics, but I don't think I would like a game based on dragon ball.

[PhaeL v2]

A MMO with Tenkaichi's gameplay style would be great.
Game really seems good, hoping for not being wrong.

I agree, the graphics are fantastic. They fit the general mood of a dragonball game. I hope the music helps with this feeling. I personally hope there is as little influence of the Dragonball series as possible. Instead I just want a game that lives in the same universe, but I don't want to see any Goku NPC flying around.

[Izzy]

I would agree to that. I would be alright with it if the game wasn't about the dragonball story line.

A little gameplay footage I found:

If he had a super carrot he might do better.

Hm, looks promising, actually.... If I get REALLY bored of my other games, I might try this one out.

Agreed, but is it based on any specific time period in the DB/Z/GT story line? Db/Z would be a cool environment and it wouldn't bother me as much if it followed a story around that time.

This is promising, will definitely be checking up on it.

[cedolad]

This looks amazing. When it gets released in US, I'll see you all on the servers

I remember hearing about this before. If I recall, it's set in the same world as Dragon Ball, but at a different time. Some time later, if I recall.

That video looks pretty good. Are there any humanoid enemies? PVP? There should be dueling at least.

And Majin, really? That's not a race. Not really. I guess they just wanted a race that was more alien, and rather than making it a specific alien race (like Freeza's or something), they put it under the non-descript race of "demon" or "genie". Yeah, nice "race".

ps Nameks are supposed to be asexual, so it would be stupid to want a female Namek. And as for female humans, would they be able to become Super as well? There is no canon instance of a female ever doing it, and the closest we get is Pan in GT who never actually does it, but is able to exude the golden Super aura regardless.

[All_That_Chaz]

My guess is they created the Majin race to bring in younger fans who latched onto DBZ during that series.

And I don't think it coincides with any specific storyline of the canon, which is a good decision. It's just an MMO that has user-created characters of races that exist in that world. I feel like just from the art and music that it's closer to the feel of DB/DBZ than GT, for which I am very grateful.

Neato.

But something occurs to me. Out of the things I saw, I haven't seen no bukujutsu.

Bitch, this is Dragon Ball, dudes need to fly and ****!

[delossantosj_2]

DBZ is just one of those things that would sound like a cool mmo.... and now it is? 0_o... sweet.

[Silver_Brian]

Apparently bibidi created an entire race.

[xThai]

This looks soooo sweet. If it's free, I'm definitely playing this.

This youtube account seems to be pretty official and releases videos fairly often of new footage from beta testing. From the cinematics it seems like there might be more in-game appearances by characters from the series than I would like, but not enough to make me not want to play it. As the characters in the testing get stronger I'm beginning to see more combat that resembles tenkaichi or budokai gameplay which is just dandy, although I worry that those long attacks would get old fast when grinding.
