I remember one of the most epic moments was playing this game. It was that spiral dungeon part of the early story line that later open into the huge rift in the end game. I came across a ogre and mounted it. My team began attacking it until it was pushed off the stairs while I was still on top of it! We fell like 40 feet and it instantly died where as I lived still on top of its corpse. Felt so cinematic.

I feel like Selene should've been more of a main character, her story is almost an exact parallel to your Arisen and Pawn in the true ending of the game. Her dialogue if she is your beloved at the end sums it up perfectly, now your Pawn is in the same position as she was when she achieved free will. Only makes sense for her to help them through the transition.

Having recently picked this game up on Switch, and it being my first action rpg like this, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed myself. So much in fact that after hitting lv 200 and defeating Daimon's second form, I restarted and am now on my second playthrough with slightly visually updated versions of my Arisen and Pawn, though with myself as a Mystic Knight Rather than a Magick Archer. And, of course, looking up videos about this game on KZread. That's how I found yours and thoroughly enjoyed it as well, allthough you must forgive me for not instantly replaying it like the game itself. One thing i did notice was trouble damaging some bbi enemies, let alone daimon phase 2, even though I was level 200. I suppose I just didn't get too lucky with bbi tier 3 weapon drops. So I went in wuth a fully upgraded magick bow (the one you get for killing Grigori) and had to spam magick stat boosters x4 and Large Mushrooms in order to spam ninefold bolt through the entire thing. Perhaps it was due to playing as a Strider until somewhere between levels 30 and 50 and then sticking with Magick Archer through the rest of the game. I didn't quite know what I was doing, still don't fully to be honest. I simply prefer sticking as one class for most of the game, aka i switched to MK as soon as I could this time, thus missing out on augments from other classes or optimal stat gain. The little bit of Mage I tried near the end of my first playthrough just wasn't that fun. I found some spells difficult to aim and they barely did anything. Now I am not exactly great at games due to some hand eye coordination struggles so that probably also factors in. Probably why I enjoyed MA so much tbh, as the magick bow has a pretty generous auto lock on, requiring less precission from my end, as well as being able to pause and spam heals/stamina/stat boosts a lot XD. And near the end I did switch from easy mode to normal mode and then hard mode, on which i beat the second phase of bbi. My second playthrough i went to hard mode immediately and am hoping playing almost exclusively as Mystic Knight, Fighter until Gran Soren, will have me fare better in BBI this time, though even now as im about to go after Salomet for stealing the ring I sometimes struggle dealing much damage to larger enemies with non fire enchant boosted Great Cannon attack. The basic one just seems to do very little, and even the enchanted ones can struggle, so I mainly rely on pgysical attacks. I know Mage and Sorcerer play through the levels is best for magic stat, but I'm realy hoping MK will be decent enough to get me through the endgame again maybe with less necessity for boosted magic because I'd deal no damage otherwise. All in all, loving the game, loved the video, if I hadn't bought it already I'm sure this would've sold me on it. Hopefully it finds more people and thus the game more players. I really hope we get a sequel, maybe even explore the other kingdoms/provinces/lands or at least one of them. Hopefull the combat isn't changed too much either. It'd be awesome to see though. Thanks to anyone who actually read this entire thing, or at least skimming to the end ;)

I read the full thing, it's a great write up and it's always fun to hear other peoples experience with this game and take a ways. I know I'm a bit late to responding but don't feel too bad about not doing a lot of damage to Daimon's second form, it's notorious for having incredibly high magic resistance on top of resistances to all elements except holy. 80% of your damage ultimately comes from your weapon itself and the augments you slot in like ones that give 10% & 20% extra damage to magic/melee. Leveling slightly as a Strider wouldn't have cut into your DPS that hard and ultimately it's all meaningless if your gear is good enough. Magick Archer and Magick Knight do split damage, half melee half magic, so it's important you utilize elemental weapons as their the vocation that benefits from them then make sure it syncs up with the enemies elemental weakness. Magick Knight can take advantage of elemental weakness with his shield as his riposte skills are some of his best DPS moves outside of cannon.

Iirc it is pretty much required to play as other classes for quite a long time to get optimal results with a class you actually want to use. I rember some people said you have to play the magican classes for like 100 levels to get the best results with magic knights and such.

The MMO (Dragon’s Dogma Online) expanded the character creation, experimented with some new vocations (while refining some older ones playstyles), and created a functioning co-op system. It wasn’t (easily) accessible outside of Japan, but all the new things they tried out in DDON (which really pushed it’s engine) means DD2 hopefully should have a lot of features to be excited for. (Not to mention the overall art and music were amazing.)

I will never be able to explain why this game caught me. So much flaws. A story so poorly told. And despite this, I love it so much. It's ethereal. Something you cannot fully grasp, or understand, or tell to others. But it's there.

I got some really good news 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I've been playing dragons dogma for six years, and I think this has been the best RPG I've ever played.

Great review. As far as the NPC romance goes... There's affection levels you build up w/ each NPC (it can go positive or negative). Once you reach max positive affection, there'll be like a bell chime sound when you speak to them. The person you end up romantically linked to is whoever you have the highest affection with. But...if you have multiple NPCs at max affection, then who is chosen ends up being based on whichever max affection NPC you spoke to last before the event where it is locked in. You can make sure you get the right person by talking to that person last before setting out near the end....or intentionally lower affection w/ others at max (attacking or picking them up lowers it but can get you jailed. I usually just draw and sheathe my weapon next to them, or run and bump into them, those are legal). The Arisen's Bond just automatically puts someone to max affinity (I think...or just a huge boost that nearly guarantees instant max affinity), nothing more. If you have other NPCs there, they can still be your romance option if you talk to them last after any other contenders. And the bond isn't needed at all to romance a given NPC. Just talking to them a lot can do it... *SPOILER* The one who finds your pawn on the beach at the very end is still your beloved. But in between facing the Dragon and the Seneschal, who that person is can change, as per the above.

I agree with you 100%. This game has a lot of flaws but it is very good and I wish more people gave it a chance. I hope Capcom announces Dragon's Dogma 2 someday.

As far as I’m aware, The Duke never bested a dragon. He’s still immortal in terms of age, until you kill Gregori and then he immediately starts ageing again. This is because Gregori offered him a deal. The Duke going mad reinforces this idea, that The Duke was given riches and romance in favour of not challenging the dragon. Lenor was his romance and his royalty his riches, He outlived Lenor and in turn married someone young in her stead. In his maddening he strangles Eleanor out of regret.

If you sacrifice your beloved you become Sovereign of Gransys, I assumed only the Arisen was immortal as his heart is spellbound. I also know there can be only one Arisen at a time in one universe and it isn't The Duke. I think assuming there can be only one immortal might be where I'm wrong, though. Unless in the cycle entirely, There's always one immortal Seneschal, one immortal Sovereign and one immortal Arisen. Suppose we'll find out in Dragon's Dogma 2 whether or not there are Sovereigns who aren't there because they accepted a dragon's deal.

Pretty unique game on many levels. Basically one of the best RPGs made and light years ahead still to the Souls series in the most critical of all aspects: control. After DDDA, playing DS feels like getting into a crapped out old Pinto after hooning around in a Lamborghini.

Main disagreement: "The eternal ferrystone robs the game of some of it's magic." While I'll always feel nostalgia over my first playthrough with traveling everywhere (before the expansion), I don't ever want to go back. I remember when I had a long haul ahead, I'd get upset over having to walk somewhere I've been several times before. A compromise then: lock the eternal ferrystone and keep consumable ferrystone drops low until ng+, but keep the portcrystals as is. You'll still have to decide whether or not to use a teleport for your first run Edit: Mercedes's accent always reminds me of Monty Python's Holy Grail French guys.

loved your review, very detailed. Don't think you mentioned the new game plus NG+ continuation play, did you?

Anybody know if this game is better then Elden Ring, cause I can’t afford that game but I do have enough to buy this game. 🤔

1:00:00 I had never realized that it was a female voice speaking in Grigori's place, because it *is* Grette turned dragon! That makes that far less confusing now. Great video, it actually inspired me to check Dragons dogma on the PS store and it was on a great deal for ten bucks so thanks a lot for that! Also, I'm pretty sure that audio issue is a frequent one, as I had that same overlapping voice lines glitch just last night, if I remember right that happened as well the last time I played it years ago, so it must be somewhat prevalent

You can change your Pawn's inclination to a desirable degree using the potions Johnathan sells at the Encampment.

The Dragons speech at the Greatwall will always have a special place in my heart. I don't know why but something about the wording and delivery just had such a big impact on me that i will never forget it, probably till i die. That speech made you really feel the weight on your shoulders as literally no one else but you could kill the Dragon. The cult that wreaked havoc in Grigori's name was brushed aside by him as "upjumped zealots" with such indifference. When i first played the game that was the exact moment i fully fell in love with the lore and the game itself.

Fun fact. Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen is only 40% of original plan yet to game is so amazing.

I'm watching this before starting my first playthrough, wish me luck

*GUESS WHO'S GETTIN' A FUCKIN' SEQUEL!?!* Good work, Dragon's Dogma. It was 10 years but goddamn, was it a worthy 10 years.

The final nod from your pawn at you always gets me. It made me realize how screwed your character is from the beginning, being destined to be a mere cog in the machine, even when you attempted to end the cycle by killing yourself, it didn't mattered. Arisen may be individuals of great valor and strength, but they are denied the very thing they are a paragon of: A life. Sucks for the beloved too, they end up with a fake you, to live ever after, except Quina that recognizes the true, and tries to be positive you'll return, but no, you ded, ded. You might have ended the cycle in your world, ,but what of all the other from the multiverse the rift connects? A true endless cycle indeed. (I always loved that 4th wall break that makes each world of an Arisen, a plyer who has the game. So literally there's as much universes as players :V) I don't think there are many games where your character is effectively doomed from the very start and the true ending is a bad ending.

Beating the game again in New Game Plus (offline) makes me think that the cycle actually wasn’t broken.

@@ThePsh07 that was his point of the comment that the arisen is basically fucked no matter what and even when you think you finally beaten the cycle it turns out theirs still an even grander cycle in play (similar to the cycle with grigori either dying or living, then from there it goes to you either killing god or not killing god and so on, so really the only way to keep the cycle from going might honestly just be an arisen that can withstand eternity which is unlikely as eventually they'll want to "retire"

My theory is this: SPOILERS AHEAD!! Your physical form dies, true, but your Pawn is an empty vessel, with no soul but the one you give her/him. Given that the Fool basically IS the Dragonforged and that all Pawns effectively become the Arisen they serve through the Bestowal of Spirit, all you're really doing is pouring yourself into another vessel that will effectively BECOME you in all the ways that matter. Fate isn't changed, exactly, just as the Arisen is exactly dead; fate is altered enough that the dogma won't hold the world hostage for "countless lifetimes" that come to pass.

Darkness does increase critical hit rate. I thought it just had a chance to instant kill but that makes much more sense. I played this game for like 150 hours when dark arisen came out, it's been really fun going back and rediscovering stuff all over again. Great video!

Greatest game of all time I lost count as to how many times I beat this game. I can’t wait for the sequel!!!

I like to be a goofball and call Grigori, “Gregory” instead. ‘ooooOOOOOOoooo… Looook oooouuut for Grrregorrrryyyy!”

I've beaten DDDA last 2018 on Switch and I'm starting with NG+ and it's very ADDICTING! :O

There's one really cool feature that heavily impacts the story on every New Game+, and it's one of my favorite elements of the game. Warning, massive spoilers! ... The identity of the Seneschal changes every New Game+, to that of the last Arisen you beat the game with. Their face, voice, weapons - it isn't always that same knight from the tutorial, it's now your own mage or ranger that you built with your own hands, and lovingly crafted and played for hours and hours. It's an amazing stylistic choice, and nothing really makes the tragic endlessness of the world hit as hard as the fact that you always end up seeing your own character as the final boss.

You know the game is gold when this type content of 1h long exist!

Fun fact, you can sell (or discard) the eternal ferrystone and buy it from the forgery place later for 2 mil. A worthwhile cost, as well as making the early game more "vanilla" in that regard. I do recommend it for people that are too tempted by having it in storage

A friend of mine got me into the game, he even gifted it to me, and it has become one of my favorite rpg ever, definite 9/10

One thing I'd love to see in the sequel would be more granular pawn controls as an option you can (but don't have to) use. So, the basic would remain as is - F1, F2 and F3 buttons for very simple, broad commands, and that'd be the default. But if you enable it (either through menu options, or perhaps more immersively via in-game means, like equipping a "commander's insignia" ring or something), that enables far more complex controls, similar-ish to Mount & Blade - you'd control each pawn separately and could give specific orders (i.e: pawn1 -> climb the target, pawn2 -> protect me, pawn3 -> act at will etc.). So players used to the DD1 simple system could still use it without bothering with specific commands, but those who want to play more tactically could use the more complex order set.

DRAGONS DOGMA 2 BOYS WOOOOOOOOOO

Beautiful video 😊😊😊❤❤❤

Yes! Someone giving this game the recognition it deserves!!

I do really like the vocations systems, cross-spells are cool and I love augments. My only gripe is that for some things it's better to have base vocations for your pawn depending on your own. Warriors simply for their aggro skill if you're ranged, or base wizard for healing/buffs- that and archer pawns being really really unviable too.

Also, you don't know true suffering until you have to fight a magic golem as a magick archer and 3 dumbass melee pawns.

I slept on this game til a couple years ago... 3 playthroughs (and a second time buying it on the switch) and it's one of my all time faves. Yeah, a few parts could do with more attention to detail and cohesion (dukes and dungeons anyone?) But overall? It's brilliant in its own way, and I love it.

It should be noted that this was a new ip from Capcom, and as such Capcom wasn't willing to fully fund the game nor would they allow much time in its development. Its been said that Capcom allotted a meager budget and then reduced it. Capcom likewise set a development time, and then shortened it. So if the game feels like cuts were made, its because there were. The game did have designs that never made it into the game, and a number of features were made in haste or cut. Supposedly, there was supposed to be another region, but it had to be cut due to lack of budget & no time. Really sad, as this game (as good as it is) could have been so much better if Capcom just allowed the Devs to do what they wanted and gave them full funding and extra time. As it was, Capcom reduced their budget and shortened development time, which is why many of the flaws exist.

Yes we only got 40% of Itsuno's vision. We were also going to be able to go to the moon, which would be a dungeon, and was where the final fought was supposed to take place.

I throughly enjoyed your video on DDDA & watched the whole presentation. I absolutely agree! This game is awesome! I've played it through so many times that it's ingrained into my skull. I have well over 20,000 hrs invested in it and I'm still gaming.

you can avoid taking damage by moving lol I was a plain ass shield and sword guy and I barely was hit...while forgetting to block many times.

This is the one game where I feel like a hipster since I liked it before it was cool lol. But seriously I remember when I first saw gameplay of this during e3 2011(?), the fact that it was not only an open world action rpg but a party based one was the biggest hook for me personally. Games like the Witcher have so many different monsters, towns, amazing side quests, but you are all alone, sure there’s reason for that, but having a party of skilled but not overpowered members in a dangerous world is what I love for. Then I downloaded the griffon fight demo on 360 and adored the character creator and combat (easily the game’s strongest point). My first play through was a mess but subsequent play thoughts were where my love for this world’s lore grew, then dark arisen came out which was amazing in expanding the dark lore. If this game gets a sequel that improves on all it’s good points I will go bananas, honestly the biggest flaw for me are the factions/side quests and how though interesting never go anywhere or reach their full potential, I wanted to know more about Salvation, or why there was no moon in the game, I wanted to visit the kingdom of Hearthstone to bring more assistance to the Wyrm hunt, I feel like Itsuno’s vision was never fully reached in the original release, so a sequel with an improved engine and actual budget should be an unrivaled masterpiece. That said a lot of things can be improved and some QoL updates are needed, not just world building, but I have faith that they will improve upon the great albeit archaic systems. (If they do decide to add online multiplayer I pray it doesn’t negatively affect the campaign or pawns, the pawns were the initial selling point for me, derpy as they were) anyhoo, I will shut up now lol. Awesome video, I love this game.

You're right that his vision was never fully reached. We only got 40% of what he envisioned. The rest was cut. We were going to get to be able to go to the moon, it was going to be a moon dungeon, and that's where the final battle was going to take place.

The gameplay alone was phenomenal. Playing as a strider, climbing massive enemies, and cutting them terribly. There's nothing like that.

Congratulations!

At the end of new game plus the senachal is the Arisen from your first playthrough, with the seneschal of new game plus 2 being the Arisen from the first new game, and so on.

No need for the chair. U can buy items from the encampment that will force your pawn into a certain inclination. Just buy a bunch and u never gta worry about that pawn chair.

Downloading now, ya sold me

Hi Baka, Thank you so much for a superb game review:) Its one of the best I've seen and rivals ESO on the Skyrim blogs. So entertaining and factual which is helpful to noobs like me who have just started the game. Please keep going with the channel and do more Dragon's Dogma content, particularly Blackrock Isle. I will subscribe and like ....MANY MANY THANKS:).

I wanted to come here from the future and announce. That our wishes have been granted, we will suffer no longer...We have gotten DD2

Great video.

I had no idea the story was that deep 😮

I will definitely give it a try!

You are right,this game has so much untapped potential and if they could polish to perfection every aspect of what makes this game good we could have the greatest game ever that would change the standards in gaming all together... but that's a tall task

A game that had me say...."Only at the end (The TRUE END )....do you begin to understand the beginning!" Started playing again in 2023!

DRAGONS DOGMA 2 HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN ANNOUNCED EVERYONE ITS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still remember the first pawn I summoned, a level 15 strider named Sam

My biggest issue would be they only have one save state... I mean let's be real RPGs like this need far more than 1 save state.

I love this game now I played for the first time i got to say this game is so good and the story is also good You all should try the game out is right fun and awesome I give the game a 10 out of 10

Every decision impacts something. Awesome game, can be challenging but is quite rewarding. Worth playing in 2021.

ITS HAPPENING LESSSSGOOOOOOOOO
