Okay, not sure how big the interest is for this on BG but it definitely deserves it's own thread.
Basically, it's an MMO based on the Dragonball Universe 1000 years after Goku and Co. Therefore, saiyan blood is diluted into the human race and you have: Humans, Namekians and Majins as the playable classes. The system is pretty basic and there are what seem to be some classes among the races.
This is what really caught my interest though and made me actually excited for it's release:Playable Races and Classes
Human
*
Martial Artist - Fighters who specialize in martial arts, comparable to characters like Yamucha, Kuririn, or Tenshinhan.
*
Spiritualist - Mystics who specialize in spiritual techniques, like Chaozu.
*
Engineer - Mechanics and inventors who build weapons and utilize technology, much like Bulma.
Namekian
* Dragon Clan - Members of the Namekian support caste which have special abilities including healing, such as Dende or Kami.
* Warrior - Members of the Namekian warrior caste, which includes Piccolo and Nail.
Majin
* Strange Majin - Slender, evil-looking Majin who have a similar appearance to Majin Buu's original, pure form.
* Large Majin - Fat, happy-looking Majin who resemble Majin Buu's good form.
So basically, you have to propagate in order to progress, and you actually start as a kid and age as time goes on to a full adult where you marry and have children of your own. That just seems so cool to me and it's so simple yet hasn't been done before, or at least on something remotely popular available to a larger audience.Players will additionally have access to weapons, including gloves, guns, and staves as well as to Bukujutsu, the ability to fly using chi energy.
The marriage system: is a system characterized by alternation of generations, where players can get married and have their children and they rely on their offspring to continue their adventures in the game. Players can only acquire new abilities through alternation of generations.
The developers are beta testing it on the 360 and PC and are preparing for a release in the US sometime soon this year I'd suspect.
