Let's face it those who are even considering this game are more then likely big fans of the show, however that can be a bad thing due to the fact it's an mmo which I personally don't know if will be F2P or P2P. That isn't really a big factor, but this game is going to get if it has not already(which I think it has) a great deal of hype. Sadly it will be hard to mimic a show such as DragonballZ or Dragonball even on a computer for a wide range of people to play. From the screens it appears that it's more of a click to move sort of thing which I would disagree with being the greatest vantage point to take on this. Since Dragonball is a fast paced and high hard hitting action show the keyboard would be easier to use. Then again I have NO idea how it's going to work so I will just have to wait and see(probably a long time.)

Moreover the game is going to compare to the show like it or not because that's the market they are going for: fans of the show. So in other words they are either going to hit the nail on the head or completely miss and possibly break all their fingers. (did you get that? It was a hammer pun XD). There will of course be those of you who play the game without any or much knowledge of the show. It will shock me if there is someone out there who was access to it, but does not know much of anything about the show or have even heard of it. Chances are you have been around someone talking about the show or something like that.

Another aspect we have to look at is that if they are in fact going off of the show Dragonball instead of Dragonballz(which for those who don't know is pretty much the second season to the series. From then it goes in saga's till it gets to GT which was a literal waste of time and money). If so then we have to factor in the possibility of humans being just as strong as the Sayans since they did not come into true power until Dragonballz. What i'm guessing is that this game will work off patches like sagas or episodes rather.
