It seems like GT is generally pretty polarizing, you either loathe it as the 1990's money grab it clearly is or you find it pretty cool for being an alternate extension to the Z story with some interesting ideas of its own. However with the popular DB Super recently having some pretty captivating and interesting arcs, GT gets completely lost as an entity in the Dragon Ball universe and fandom. Super not only contains most of the relevant threads to make it a direct canonical sequel to Z, but it even makes the original Dragon Ball more relevant than it has been in decades. You could argue that Super chugs on at the same rate that GT is becoming ever more irrelevant(and perhaps reviled). Obviously Dragon Ball Heroes is one of the more popular "games" to use and expand on GT material, but GT stuff also still finds a place in modern console and handheld games like Xenoverse and Fusions.
Personally I quite like the GT aesthetic, at least in terms of most of the main protagonist and antagonist designs, but I could definitely see most of it being an acquired taste. I feel that SS4 is the best Super Saiyan design by far and Super 17 is the best 17 design(regardless of how they handled the character himself). But I'm more interested in how the community feels about DB franchise games continuing to use GT characters, designs, and forms in Dragon Ball games going forward. Do the designs still have any merit or worth(for that matter, did they ever)? Are they an important enough piece of Dragon Ball history to preserve and cherish? Do you want to see a bigger or smaller spotlight on GT stuff now that it's over 20 years old? Do you think FighterZ should or will contain any GT designs or will it be one of the first major Dragon Ball game releases in years to omit the series?
