Now I hope Towa and Miira will be featured as the villains.

Wow, I really didn't expect that either, but this still doesnt make character creation impossible. That guy is doing a kamehameha for goodness sake. Perhaps hes just still the stand-in avatar for what the player will do in the storymode as their avatar. I hope thats all it is....

... I wish Namco would just come out and assure us of it already. :think:

Hmm, what if, we play as this new character as the protagonist of the story, travelling through time, levelling up, being able to customise his abilities etc. In fact I'm quite very sure that's what it'll be like, it kinda explains why he looks so uninspired.

Yeah, I'm still kinda hanging on to the fact that the design is basically red-hair Gohan with scouter and Trunks' clothes. And isn't he also doing the Makankosappo as well? Though, if they give him a name other than "Future Warrior" it'll be a different deal.

As far as the screenshot with this Future Warrior with Ghurd and Kuririn, it kinda seems like the same thing as the early one with him getting to Goku and Vegeta. Doesn't seem like anything much.

And I guess I should actually do some proper reading on Dragon Ball Online's story and such, huh? :P

The story of this game has the potential to be either amazing or godawful. Hopefully the former.

Any names other than "Bandai / Namco & Xeno" will confirm he's an OC but so far I doubt hes actually a canonized character as those names had been used to refer to that guy previously.

If they dont change anything from DBO's plot or make it too one-sided for our character like Hero mode was it will be fine. Though The storyline in Shin Budokai was atrocious, so I'm a bit worried. I'm also worried that it will be constrictingly linear, like we're forced to be that naive kid who wants to do the right thing for no reason besides Goku worship.
cesarcoronel07 wrote:If this game has something to do with DBO, doesn't that exclude GT?
If this game is about time travel GT is just another timeline. SSJ4 is just another path.

Dimps and maybe recycled Online material. This game has my interest now.
Hopefully Towa will finally make her way to Japan.

As far as i know no one has said what is and what isn't canon so it's up to you
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Most people feel like it's is because AT played a big apart of that game.
IGhostUlt wrote:i also enjoyed raging blast a whole lot better than burst limit. Burst limit had the best graphics and animations but that's basically it. The game felt incomplete.
It felt incomplete since the game came out during the summer. If Namco Bandai didn't rush the game then we would got a game that feels more complete.

Gt takes place 5 or 10 years after Z where the online story takes place after 200 years (i think) so they can have both if they want
In DBO, Goku & Vegeta die together in a final fight 12 years after the end of the manga, Piccolo is still alive 211 years after the end of the manga, Oob never merged with Boo, and Boo eventual died because his life-spawn was shortened by making children.
kidtrunksssj wrote:I Wanted To Ask A Question, Is Dragonball Online Canon?
There is no official canon. DBO follows exclusively the manga, and Toriyama was heavily involved with it. However, it is now a canceled game that never made it to Japan, and Toriyama's recent Dragon Ball Minus contradicts it because DBO uses elements from the Bardock TV Special. So, take that as you will.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Because i had come occuresed a post that said dragonball online had been canon, as it was a a type of game akira toriyhamas has made after the series of dragonball that is ended in 1996, and it was for him to have the fun.

The idea of creating your Dragon Ball history sounds amazing. If a sequel is made then they can do more stuff with DB, GT and movie characters.

List bad Dimps' games aside from Sonic 4? You might find one or two but overall they're spectacularly done because Dimps unlike Spike is a highly competent developer team and focus on quality over quantity.

Edit: Damn, this game should be released for Vita too!

If you can create your own story mode then I wonder you can share them to your friends. Fans can finally have Broli kill the hell out of everyone :lol:!
