Dragon’s Dogma Online (PC/PS4/PS3)

Dragon's Dogma Online without Online co-op would be strange.
Either way, so far, it looks mostly like what I'd want.

It being F2P raises some concerns but I'll wait and see.

I meant more that it doesn't look like an mmo. But it's F2P? I'm worried.

I'm certain we can all rely on Capcom to bring us a seamless, rich, inclusive online experience.

It being from Capcom is what worries me. Dragon's Dogma was amazing but I'm convinced it was a total fluke due to the fact that the game was held back due to their xenophobic arrogance. The clunkiest interface I've ever seen in a video game, lackluster story until the last 2 or so missions, and the lack of PC port really damaged how amazing Dragon's Dogma could have been. I'm fairly sure that they will miss the fucking point completely with this game and it will be your standard f2p bullshit with a Dragon's Dogma skin glued onto it.

I hope I'm proven wrong but it seems like this is going to be just another one of Capcom's victims in their unending quest to systematically murder every one of their most promising franchises.

Well yes, the Capcom part is hugely worrying since they have been retarded for a long ass time but I'm willing to give this the benefit of the doubt until they fuck it up.

Big article on kotaku, Trailer looks amazing. And heres the kicker. Dragon's Dogma Online is scheduled for release in Japan on the PS3, PS4, and PC platforms in 2015. No word on an international release. The game will be free-to-play with payable elements. Fuck you japan. We need pso2 style translation stat! It looks absolutely amazing.

The plot of Dragon's Dogma Online will revolve around a mystic "white dragon." Due to unknown reasons, the dragon has been weakened, and in order to resolve this problem, the white dragon seeks out scores of people, making them all Arisen to fight for it.1

While the original game had some online elements – namely the Pawn system where players could share NPC versions of their characters – a fully online version was actually contrary to the initial concept of the game. " Dragon's Dogma was made with the concept of 'enjoying with a mild hint of connectivity' during a time when many online games were being released." director Kento Kinoshita said in an interview. "However, we had to consider the requests of Dragon's Dogma players and consider the advancement and evolution of the series, so I thought to myself, 'we should try to see if it can be done.'"2

According to the developers, the world of Dragon's Dogma Online will be roughly the same size as the world of Dragon's Dogma, but will be expanded over subsequent updates to roughly 3 times its original size. The main story will also be continuously updated in "seasons," with each season serving as a full chapter in the story.
When creating a character, players will initially be able to select a character class from among 4 types: Fighter, hunter, priest, and shield sage. Other classes will be offered, although it is unclear as to how or if you can switch between classes.

Players will be able to create teams of up to 4 members, including AI pawns, to explore and battle creatures in the expansive open world. The game will have lobbies where up to 100 players can mingle and socialize before forming teams to go forth on their adventure.

For Dragon's Dogma Online, the game will focus on the action, offering things often seen in other online RPGs, like the ability to use characters as jumping boards or to climb on enemies to attack at close range.

There is some gorgeous screenshots available.

It's Dragon's Dogma online. What more do you need?

For starters, a Forge system that the npcs use to make weapons for you. You bring them shit they craft.
