If dbo wants to mean something to the dragonball canon it should try harder to make up some new and interesting enemies and stories.
It's not supposed to, since it's just a video game. Of course, if you mean "mean something to your personal canon," then I fully agree.

Yeah, I don't get that line of thought. Story telling isn't limited to one specific media. Games are just as valid when developed with the intent to continue the plot of a franchise: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... 34#p603134
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

Apparently it's now possible to translate the whole DBO.

Ah, that is great to hear. Looks like Suzaku is still alive too. I was about to say I wish I could help but it looks like I could since they are using online translators.

News of the year. :D

Also, there was a guy reporting that he found stuff about Oozaru & Fusion transformations.

On my decent PC (i5-2500 3,4GHz CPU, Radeon HD 6870 OC GPU) I had a FPS drop (though still completely playable) in the main city with a big bunch of people. Everywhere else it ran smoothly. Unless your netbook has a bad GPU, you should be able to run and play DBO. Here are the requirements:
Platform: PC (Windows Only)
System Requirements: Requirements in parenthesis are recommended
Operating System: Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2, or greater
CPU: Pentium 4 1.5GHz or greater (2.4GHz)
Graphics: Geforce4 Ti4200 or Radeon 8500 (Geforce 6200 or X800)
RAM: 512MB or greater (1GB)

Payment Plan: The game is free to play and has a cash shop.
If DBO is getting fully translated, that's gonna be awesome. However the problem remains with the lag, as there are no international servers based in Europe or USA. Lag is actually the worse of the two, and probably the main reason I quit.

The only negative in the upcoming complete English patch is that they are going to use dub terms... Oh well. :|

Then I declare it unplayable.

In all honesty, if we could just get a Korean text dump we could take it from there... for at least documentation purposes...

Weird. I remember DBOCom having the skill list based on Kanzentai, even linking to respective techniques on Kanzentai, but apparently it's no longer the case (might have something to do with Kanzentai being absent).

I can easily see them handing that to Kanzenshuu.

I know, but I asked if they are going to use the dub names, and they said yes because they are the most popular. Though, the guy that replied wasn't Citrinate (the site administrator), so maybe it's not true.

I wouldn't be pleased with the dub names, but I could live with it, like I do with every other DB video game.

That page is still there but the site has always used dub terms for skills and stuff. Most of the people on the site are probably more familiar with dub terms anyway so it shouldn't be too surprising. DBO is also one of the games where dub terms appear(Jeice, Burter, etc.).

I was wondering if there was anything in the game mentioning Uub?

Those aren't really dub terms.

They seem to be discussing whether to use dub terms or japanese terms (as in the ones used here)... hope they decide on the latter, the patch shouldn't be exclusive to people who follow the English dub, it should understandable by everyone.

I don't think he has been mentioned in any of the information that has been translated.

Never mentioned. But we do see a guy that resembles him in the area where the Majins live, so he could be a descendant of him.

Oh my god.... I don't know what to do.

I was hoping they would release the game in US/Europe so the Spanish speaker base would increase. I have no qualms playing like this, but we Hispanics have a very unique love for DB.

I didn't want to spent too much time with my character just to dump it and change to the English server.... now... I don't know.
