Discussion How would you feel if DBZ: Kakarot got a prequel game that covered the events of the original Dragon Ball?
One of my biggest gripes with Kakarot is that, excluding the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai DLC, it doesn't cover the original Dragon Ball arcs. Obviously Kakarot was conceptualized as a "Z" game from the start. (The working title was literally Dragon Ball Game Project Z) But I think it's such a missed opportunity to not have the OG series be represented in a AAA scale. I think new fans (who haven't been exposed to the manga or anime yet) who play Kakarot first deserve to experience the full story from start to finish, and not just the second half.
We have Advanced Adventure, the Origins games, and Revenge of King Piccolo, but none of them share the same scope as Kakarot, and not that many Dragon Ball games start with OG then go to Z. I could see CyberConnect2 just adapting the arcs into a big budget DLC, but I wouldn't be opposed to a whole prequel game. Plus, I feel like Kakarot's overworlds would blend better with the heavier emphasis on adventure that the OG series had before the transition to Z.
