STORY:
The game will somewhat correspond with the series. The main villains from DBZ will be some of the bosses in DBZ tactics. They will be connected to each other sine they will be part of a conspiracy to destroy Goku and take over the planet. The game will start out with 6 of the main characters, Goku, Gohan, Krillen, Piccolo, Yamcha and Tien. Trunks will be introduced when he comes from the future to let Goku know what is going to happen and at this point Trunks will become a useable character. Vegita will be one of the bosses in the game. Once you defeat him a series of events will occur, Vegita will be pissed that he is loosing and charges up a powerful attack which he fires at Goku. Goku then struggles with the blast Vegita is using on him and he starts to have visions of the world being taken over and his friend being mauled by Vegita and he snaps. He then goes Super Sayan and over powers Vegita and almost kills him. Vegita realizes that Goku has become a Super Sayan and decides to go of and train. At this point Trunks comes from the future as I already mentioned. Trunks also has the ability to go Super Sayan. When Vegita finds out about Trunks he joins Goku and Trunks hoping he will learn how to turn into a Super Sayan. Later on Vegita and Gohan will be able to turn into a Super Sayan. Vegita will transform in the battle with Freeza and Gohan in the fight with Cell. The game will continue from there as the plot thickens and the conspiracy takes on new hights.

Gameplay:
The game will play very similar to that of Final Fantasy Tactics. In battle you will control 5 character. During battle you will receive experience points for leveling up and ability points so that you can teach characters new moves and abilities. Goku, Trunks, Vegita and Gohan will receive the Super Sayan ability at certain points in the game. They will also gain Sayan experience during battle to learn Super Sayan abilities. In Battle a Bar under the names of the sayans will appear, you fill the bar up with special points which you receive when you use that character to attack. Once the bar is full you will have the option to turn that character into a Super Sayan. While in this form your charactor will have special abilities and have boosted attack power, speed and defense. At first you will only be a Super Sayan for one turn. When you gain enough special points your Super Sayan level will go up and you will be able to stay transformed for 2 turns. You can only get to a level 5 though but each time you level up you will receive a new ability and can stay transformed for that number of turns.

Other:
There will also be side quests during the game to get additional character and special abilities such as fusion where you can have two Super Sayans combine and become much stronger for one turn and then they defuse. This ability may only be used once during battle and can only be taught to Goku, but he can fuse with any of the sayans.
