No tribute to Akira Toriyama?

[Temperator]

His name should be front and center in splash screen.

Meh, more like all of the art and story beats is a tribute to him - game looks like it should have been titled, 'Majin Boo's Cousin's Side Quest" or something.

Not enough, without Akira Toriyama people wouldn't have a demo to hate.

At least, get rest in peace and thank you in main page credits.

The art is plenty of tribute, and his name is likely all over the credits. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Art is the cover, even steaming piles of garbage thanked Kevin Conroy for voicing batman for decades. Using same art style that was created by Toriyama without thanking the man to allow SAND LAND to excist in the first place, His cultural impact is massive and emotion provoking gesture, empty platitudes that can be skipped isnt enough. Entire world stopped on its track on march 1st to mourn the man, no matter race, color or creed. Think about that for a minute.

Akira Tribute should be front and center not just a text blurb in credits which most people skip anyway

Probably will be in the finished game, either at the game's opening, or more likely at the beginning of the ending credits. That's usually how tributes are done.

The art isn't a tribute, it's literally Toriyama's characters and story from his manga and (now) anime of the same name. He'll obviously be credited quite a bit in the end credits and might get a 'tribute' there as well.

His name shouldn't be on this product, Why? It looks like hardcore garbage.

Don't sully his name.

Right. So then people can be like "WHAT, how dare they use his designs and not give him credit!"

You know before he died, he -did- approve of this project, right? C'mon now. Not everything he did was an absolute gem or a win. That being said, this isn't even -out- yet and people are already throwing it aside.

If they plastered "In memory of" all over the store page and the game, they'd almost certainly be accused of trying to use his passing for personal gain.

I am sure there will be mention of it somewhere in the game, and that's all there needs to be.

We are all aware of his passing, and it is sad.

There doesnt need to be ANY mention. The game itself literally is his work lmao

It'd be kind of weird if there weren't though. It's pretty standard practice to do something like that. Even more so if the person who passed is so central to the thing being made.

Also pretty weird to argue that it should be plastered everywhere, or literally nowhere.

Just expect to see a mention of it somewhere, be it credits or somewhere else, and be content that they did that.

Some of you are way too cynical. I'm sure the credits will have something. Just like the last two Ghostbusters films had "For Harold (Ramis)" and "For Ivan (Reitman)" at the beginning of the credits. Just like I'm sure Dragon Ball DAIMA will probably have a tribute.
