Only problem I see with this is if there's race-specific bonuses:

Human, Animal, Android, Saiyan, Majin, Namekian, Changeling, Alien, Shin, Demon, Dragon

While it'd be neat to have this level of customization, balancing would be a nightmare.

To be frank, I've never played any MMO's, how balanced are they usually?

Oh. Well I have no idea. tongue I just know it'd be a problem.

Personally, I say screw balance, this is Dragonball-fricking-Z. But... in order to make people play your game, you can't just have Majin Buu or Beerus wreck everybody that isn't Goku or Vegeta.

MMO's are fairly balanced I'd think, given how long the popular ones tend to run. But then, MMO's are designed with longevity as a goal, and in general, most bosses/raids will rely on players banding forces - no matter how powerful you are, the game insists that you join up with other people to overcome the boss.

When someone else mentioned Xenoverse, I thought you were just pushing for an expanded Xenoverse system. But since this is an MMO, I'd say the only thing working against you is that most MMO's I know of only have 4-6 playable races. Having more means more character models, more animations, etc.

And that's not including the over 300 characters and forms to unlock. tongue

Xenoverse is basically an MMO with a decent single player.

Essentially, I want a Xenoverse with more characters, customization and huge worlds to explore.

After a while, Toki-Toki City was feeling kinda cramped, I want to fly from continent to continent. I wanna travel to other planets and see how different they were in other time periods. (especially Namek and Vegeta)

And don't forget them branching story paths!

I miss the cinematic stylings of the Tenkaichi series. Where moves like Flash Grenade are treated as a big deal and not just a tiny, insignificant pap.

My main complaint with Xenoverse is that nothing really feels epic.

Is it possible to have cinematic attacks in an MMO setting?

The closest think I can think of is probably Musou-type game that have online.

Not really, it would cause issues in multiplayer.

Xenoverse is basically an MMO with a decent single player.

Decent may be too high of praise. Can't quite give them a pass for all the Super Armor, RNG, and phoning in the Cell and Buu sagas.

RNG isn't a single player-only issue, the Immune to Flinching thing is annoying but I never had a real problem while playing, I agree the Android and Buu Sagas were gimped of content in the What If? department though.

I also liked the story, which is why I walking from the single player with a "decent" opinion on it.

Completely fair. I managed to get Xenoverse's platinum trophy.

You just know everyone would pick Broly's body-type and come up with names like "LSSJ Trunksgeta", or "LSSG David", or "LSSJ Gokhan!"

You know Dragon Ball Online already existed, and what everyone did is choose be an Namek with an axe, a super saiyan swordsman or a fat Majin healer.

Not sure how an axe would be useful in a world where Goku, age 13, could break an iron axe by being hit with it...

Same way a sword is useful against Mecha Freeza, Power Level >120,000,000. Ki can be used to enhance weapons.

Because in Japanese works, a weapon is an extension of its user's will and power.

Your fist only half as useful as your weapon.

Unless you're in the Dragon Ball universe, then anyone who uses a weapon will either get worfed or stop using their weapon.

And get worfed anyway. :P
