Dragon Ball Online Coming in 2008!

[Gundampilotspaz]

DBMania is bringing us news that Dragon Ball Online, an MMO based on one of the most recognized series in the world, is coming to Japan in 2008, with the beta being tested in Korea this summer. The game is set 200 years from the end of the manga, so all the main characters are dead, or so it seems. The world has been divided by some evil organization, and with the help of “Time Patrol Trunks,” you’ll help to reunite the world.

Players will be able to select from any of the major races that appeared in the game; meaning Saiyan, Humans, and Nameks are definitely available to players. In the game, you actually start off as a young kid, and grow to be an adult. Akira Toriyama will be helping to design the new characters, buildings, and backgrounds

So, Dragon Ball fans, would you sign up for this, even though everything is in Japanese?

Here are some scans from the magazine:

I don’t want to meet the person who isn’t excited about this and at one point was a Dragon Ball. (or currently is, for that matter)

During the early days of Everquest and when Pokemon was popular for the first time (feels like another lifetime) I longed for a Pokemon MMO, and when I became a Dragon Ball fan that longing followed over. So this is a dream come true, I can’t wait and although I’m not crazy enough to learn Japanese and play it I’m sure an English version will follow.

If an English version doesn’t come out… well I’ve always wanted to learn Japaneses anyway.

Holy shit! I've done the same thing too! XD

[LeadingMan]

Sweet, now there's a game where being named SSJGotenksXxRulez is actually appropriate.

[Ceraziefish]

Bahaha, I'd love to play this game*

*And by play I mean play it at someone's house, because I have little to no interest in actually paying for it.

Shouldn't saiyans be extinct after 200 years?

No, just really inbred.

What does the scouter say about his power level?

I put some more screenshots up on my blog: http://gundampilotspaz.wordpress.com/2007/...mo-screen-caps/

What does the scouter say about his power level?

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!

[J-Stop]

If weeaboos could find a way to play MegaTen online, then they'll be able to play this as well.

It'll be brought to the US. There is more then enough of a userbase for it, however if a monthly fee is tacked on it'll have a few good years before falling completely into obscurity.

What does the scouter say about his power level?

The balls are inert.

That will never be appropriate. EVER

Also, it looks like the stole the layout for the action bar/status window from WoW.

I would kill to play it. But I guess I don't know how'd they would work Saiyans in other than like just anyone with Saiyan blood is Saiyan..seeing as how there would only be two bloodlines. I'd still prefer to be a half-saiyan, more bad ass strength in half the time.

No SSJ4 for you!

So? Red furred monkeys suck. Give me lightning fast speed, electricity, and uber 80's hair band hairstyle.

Me too.

This is still awesome though. Also, every anime fan was into DBZ at some point. There's no use lying about it.

[LeadingMan]

So if you die does someone have to wish you back to life with the Dragonballs?

Boy that'd be depressing:

"Wanna play DB tonight Tom?"

"Yea, my character died outside of Capsule Corp, get some Dragonballs to wish me back."

"...Fuck you man that takes too damn long."

"...." :(

Confirmed to also be on the 360
