Namco Bandai Europe already released the full roster. I think it was posted a page or two back.

We know. Some think it's misinformation, so that's why we're talking about full, total confirmation coming tomorrow. It was posted a page back.

Anyone seen any TV or Internet adds yet? The game comes out like in a few weeks and I hope Bandai Namco markets it soon. Don't market the game like a week or two later like they did with Burst Limit 2.

You're not going to see any TV ads for it. Bandai hasn't marketed any of their DB video games outside of the rare magazine ad, and website ad banner.

That was back when publishers gave a damn about selling their game.

Notice how I said Bandai. Burst Limit was published by Atari.

Damn... I hate the new art style. Looks nothing like Toriyama's!
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

Ah, so that's how you get Dragon Balls. You search around the map for story fights, training fights, and dragon balls. Cool. I'm glad you don't just get them after fights.

Toriyama has never had a consistent art style. Even in the modern era his art always changes.

Wow, I like that story mode. Reminds me of Budokai 3 a lot. What I'm little aware of are that button sequences in fights. Looks like the game mechanics changed a lot from Sparking/RB a lot, so I hope it will be fun as I'm not much of fan of this, like in RB2 when changing the characters, you have to clicking the buttons, I would rather do some block, punch or any possible combination then wait and click, click, click.
I don't like the 2d cutscenes' art style, but that is what I don't like about any new anime.
Design is good, but this lineart on computers is not my taste. I really miss anime drawn by hand from 80's and 90's.
This cheap s**t nowadays look exactly s**tty :cry:

They did had internet adds for Burst Limit on Gamefaqs, Metacritic and Gamespot. I don't think any DBZ game had TV adds since Burst Limit 1 since I remember they had TV adds for the game on Adult Swim back in 2009.

Dude! That freaking cooler fight looks freaking cool man :D
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Wasn't the full character roster supposed to be out in JP the 7th? I have to 100% know if Chaozu is in this fucking game or not.
