Holy fuck. The cutscenes look incredible. That clash between Vegetto and Buuhan got me so hyped.

The game looks great, but Vegeta looks awful in almost every shot he’s in. Other characters also look really strange sometimes. The rest of the game is beautiful.
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

Rest in peace.

I didn't even remember Paris Games Week. I was only expecting the next trailer in Jump festa, so this was a good surprise!

Vegetto vs Buuhan stood out because how awesome it was. Love the storyboard for his debut and their fist clash is godlike too! I'm only waiting for Uub now.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

I feel like the fist clash between Vegetto and Boo is supposed to resemble Vegetto's fight with Zamasu, looks pretty identical.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Yeah and there's also a nod to Gogeta's fusion in Broly with the orange and blue tornado when they merge into Vegetto.

Got another gameplay trailer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyUgC3lG7rI

This time for Vegeta. Gotta say, not too much of a fan at the inconsistent voice track in these trailers. Every other one is a different spoken language. Sometimes it varies by the specific YouTube channel, since the European Bandai trailers are in Japanese with subtitles while most of the American channel's trailers have the English track except for this one for some reason.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Bandai Namco EU posted some new pictures, seemingly confirming Gotenks as playable (they don't spell it out as such, but it seems pretty obvious, especially since he was likely going to be playable anyway), as well as revealing something else we can do in the training grounds - fight mental versions of the characters, so I guess replicating the mental training.

Uh, we;ve already seen footage of playing as Gotenks?

I love the addition of mental training and how they've incorporated training in this game in general. I'm going to lose my shit if we can train in the HBTC.

Cool. The mental training looks like it's a very DB oriented version of the Data Organization XIII fights from Kingdom Hearts 2 (the Bonyu training is literally a Data fight though).

I mean, stealing from one of the greatest Action RPGs of all time isn't a bad thing.

Not at bad thing at all. Now just steal the freedom of fighting and movement from KH2 and I'll be all set.

Also the fluidity of the combat. Shit looks too Xenoverse 2 for my liking.

Why would you want this game to play like 2FM? Like you guys are awful. Sora doesn't fight like a Z fighters.

I meant it in the sense the combat is super fluid and has various combo options. It doesn't get boring. Obviously it wouldn't be Goku with a sword in the shape of a key.

You do know that only Goku would be playable right? And you can't have like ten playable characters with depth like that even 2FM didn't have multiple characters like that.
