Dragonball Online MMO Videos

by Terrence Stasse { Feb 14th 2008 at 9:45PM }

The Dragonball universe and canon is one of the most well-known (though not loved) anime properties in the otaku mind-share, and developer NTL looks to be capitalizing on that with plans for an MMO. In beta testing since last summer, the game will be on 360 and PC and is expected to see release overseas this year. Dragonball Online is set many many years after the story known by fans, allowing plenty of room for the devs to craft some form of story and universe that allows all the players to become powerful. From what little is currently known, the over-arching goals of course involve collecting Dragonballs, as well as participating in martial arts tournaments. The Dragonball franchise has plenty of fans in the west, but they'll have to wait out the possibly of release outside of the Asian countries.

The video is the newest trailer; gameplay videos after the break.

Interesting, i'm guessing it's cross platform?

It's unknown whether PC players will be able to interact with 360 players.

Looks pretty good but I would rather have a Naruto MMO, but I guess this will do.

Me too.

The online concept pretty much ruins the whole RPG Idea.

They could've made it GOOD and make it play like Phantasy Star, but no. It's gonna play just like those pieces of shit WoW and FFXI.

Great an MMO with only 2 classes Healer and Fighter oh and the worthless human class.

Pass.

The old namekian puts this after the story of either Dragonball Z, or Dragonball GT, not Dragonball. In that regard, you've got it wrong that Dragonball isn't much loved by fans the world over. It's Dragonball Z and GT that draw the most flaming. Dragonball on the other hand, is highly praised in anime circles for being great.

Game looks meh though. Unless I can use Dragonball Z Esque powers (like gigantic energy beams that pwn your face) it's no fun.
