I'm still kinda hoping that Time Patrol Trunks is a whole new Trunks from another timeline.

This interview says that he’s Trunks from right after the battle with Cell and co.

It's also worth noting that Akira Toriyama's really involved in the game, and has to sign off on every single character design, scenery, item, and story element introduced in the game.

But while he signs off on the story elements, he didn't actually write the story, did he? I've seen people describe the DBO background story you posted, and the DBO story in general, as having come from Toriyama, but from what I've read it seems the game scenario was written by the game staff, and Toriyama's main involvement in the game is in the way of character designs. From what you've read/heard, would you say that's accurate?

[Amaranth Sparrow]

Yeah, from what I've seen, that sounds about right. His direct involvement seems to mainly revolve around the character designs and the general look of the game, and beyond that, it's just general supervision. He probably contributes concepts for the story, but leaves the important details up to the scenario writers. Of course, it's hard to tell just how involved people are with games like this if they don't explicitly state what they've done.

Where is this from and translations please

Those are the basic descriptions of the races that's been available for a few years now. "Dragon Clan Namekians are like Dende, Warrior Clansmen are like Piccolo", etc.

Hey, check this out. Someone modded the game so that the hairstyles of the characters would be the same as the Super Saiyans.

I LOVE how Gohan's book is based on tackling mysticism from a scientific outlook. I can't believe I never thought of him doing something like that. I always thought he'd do something related to biology or astrophysics. In regards to the former, I suppose I was right?

Boo's wife is 'Booby?' How awesome is that pun? GREAT find. Thanks for all the info, guys!

[Senzu_Bean]

This is absolutely great! Now someone really need to make a databook based on this... or a new special. Something!

I'm not incredibly active here anymore really, but I had to pop in and ask - with all this new info, is there any explanation for the new weird look for the Namekians? How the main part of the face is pushed in and the rest is almost like it's someone wearing a Namekian costume, and the long split line across the top I mean.

Is it just a new design quirk, or is it just how they look this far into the future or something?

[B]

It's to give people who may want to play as Namekians more options. Same reason the Majins have different antennae, why they're all different colors, etc. Essentially, alien equivalent to the multitude of hairstyles and facial expressions you can give the humans.

And yes, the original Nameks have been shown in some screenshots of the game, plus promo art.

It's to give the internet what it's always dreamed of - the ability to play as a penis.

Great, now I can't look at them the same way again.

I'm pretty sure a Google search could find you a game where you can play as a penis.

Spore comes to mind immediately.

[DNA]

Yes but where else can you play as a humanoid penis that grows in size and spits babies?

[Rocketman]

This game is horrible filth!

[DNA]

I am so going to play as a namekian. I was going before, but these new revelations shed light unto the beautiful truth. <3

[Gyt Kaliba]

Oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

And I LOL'd at the Namekian = Penis. That's just epic.

I always found that interesting, too. I've had a personal interest in the more "spiritual" aspects of the martial arts for about 14 years now and there are some books I've picked up that give much more down-to-earth interpretations of old Chinese and Japanese texts and philosophies on the matter that are really sound. To hear that Gohan turned out authoring the type of book I've dedicated years of study to is amazing!

[Greenman]

What are the full system requirements? I know it's probably on the Korean website somewhere, but I can't find it.
