I can't really explain how I feel about this game... I loved DBZ... it just kept getting worse and worse after the Frieza saga.. I guess it'll be okay to play as a game for a short while though... it's not like I didn't ask for it to be an mmo when I was little...
This is going to be the ultimate fanboy magnet for sure, dont get me wrong I wish them all the best of luck on this, however the community is going to ruin the game at least in my opinion. I can only imagine how many players are going to name their toon SSJ<insert favourite character>.
My issue is that this IP already has a large number of games already out for it. Most of them are crap, but there are exceptions. And by exceptions I mean the Dragonball Z Budokai series. I'm expecting the fourth part of the series to finally include online play.
For PC users, you can always Play Bid For Power for free. The graphics are almost as good as the screenshots above.
I would be very concerned with the storeyline on this MMORPG. The series was all over the place. Not to mention everyone will be popping beans over and over again in the middle of a fight. I might try it out, if only for comical value
lol, you're kiddin right? It looks a bit like a WoW rip-off and isn't DBZ a bit, well, old? Anyway, beside my doubts, It might actually be fun to play. Because I've allways loved the series... but I'm wondering what this game will bring...
@ Jimmy_Scythe : Bid for Power is a lot worse when you look at the graphics. It's not really that simular.

i think this would be like LOTR or COH, you cant play as the key character. The key character will be the NPC/Trainer.
The graphics look perfect for the game. There is more to graphics then making them look ultra-realistic. When you compare it to the Mushroom shaped trees and broken land type terrain, the graphics make perfect sense.
However, the real issue seems to be in character customization and if you can fly. If you can't fly this game is an instant fail. Also in character customization, I think if you can only choose looks based after the main characters, it will get boring fast.
I used to love this when I was a kid, but I don't know if I'd want to play it. I do love the 2d looking graphics, I've been waiting for an MMO to come out to implement cell shaded 3d into an MMO. But as someone said, I know I'm going to be concerned with what the community will be like. I guess we'll see, I might give it a shot but I'll have to REALLY think hard about it. If it's F2P then I know from the get go I won't get it. I do hope this will open the doors for more MMO's to try the cell shaded approach since it would just add more to the immersion of a game (IMO anyway... I don't want to play in a wolrd that tries to be realistic in absolutely every single aspect)

Which FF Character Are You?
haha sounds like fun, they should however fix the graphics, there appauling
KAMMMEEYYHAAAMEEEYYYHAAAAA!
the graphics doesnt look that bad
man we used to love that thing when i was a kid.
i might try it when it comes out
See, I loved this as a kid, but now in retrospect, it has THE worst story ever.
I'm a little tempted to check it out, but my common sense is kicking me in the nads for even thinking about it.
And the various players named "Gouoookuuuuuuu" and "V3g3taaaa26" are going to piss me off.
How many people in the Beta?
OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!!

I'm sure this will make money and all that....

Reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons, sorry no thanks, a bit too old for MMO's like this.

Think about how long a fight takes in the show.
I sure as hell hope they fix that little problem in the game.
Now with 57.3% more flames!
Oh look!
It's World of Warcraft with stupid anime skins. How tap-dancing original.
-------------------------
[sarcasm]Yeah, the player portraits, minimap, action bar buttons and chat log look completely different.[/sarcasm]
ummm... those things are in most mmo ui's, they are not excactly exclusive to WoW.
well... they need to make Dragon ball mmorpg looks like Anime, they cant make it looks like Lotr, EQ, Lineage 2 or star war right? common sense..
Which FF Character Are You?
Childish imo.... I hate anime anyway, so i'd rather play something else.
ooh....i care......

ooh....i care......
You shouldn't *rolls eyes*
As if I care they're making a Dragon Ball MMO, my opinion, you got a problem with that?
