Suddenly a Netflix series?!

It wouldn't be that far-fetched to get Nintendo armor. You could already get Berserk armor.

this game is on sale on PS 4 for NA/SA users I think, only 15 bucks.

I tried playing a new game on hard mode but after a while switched it back to normal because dying in one hit to everything big isn't fun lol. I forget hard mode is more designed for new game+. I was able to get a good amount of cash though since I was on hard for a while.

I thought the only difference in hard mode was enemies had twice as much HP and you get double exp; I didn't think they dealt any more damage.

Money bags drop with greater frequency in Hard Mode as well. Which might not be a good thing if you're trying to grind for Rift Crystals.

I got the game on sale but I'm holding off on it til I get enough out of Baldur's Gate PS 4.

If there wasn't so much other stuff I'm playing or want to play at the moment, I'd probably buy this again for PS 4.

Did I hear there was a sequel in the works, or did I make that up?

Nothing confirmed but the director made a comment that seemed to imply so. Something along the lines of there having been a choice between working on Dragon's Dogma 2 and a new Resident Evil game and now that the later was done...

More like Hideaki Itsuno was basically given the choice of either DMC 5 or DD 2, and he went with the former, though he said as recently this past September that Dragon's Dogma is important to him, but has made no commitments as to whether or not he's actually directing a sequel as of now. Also, Itsuno has nothing to do with the Resident Evil franchise.

I have a suspicion V was a testing ground for how a summoner or beastkeeper class would somewhat play like in a hypothetical DD 2.

In hard mode enemies don't stagger as much(which becomes extremely annoying with humanoid enemies) and they deal 2-4x as much damage per hit. I was getting OHKO'd by wolves at the very start lol.

Even replaying this game it's kinda of neat how I always discover little things I missed before. Did you know your pawn can actually catch you if you fall from somewhere high? I grabbed on a snow harpy, it carried me a bit and as I fell my pawn actually caught me, preventing any fall damage. I never knew that was possible lol.

I did have a pretty awesome moment while playing hard though. I came across an ogre at a campsite, and proceeded to fight it albeit carefully since it could one-shot me. However while fighting it ANOTHER ogre jumps in the fray and I immediately realized I was outmatched and proceeded to haul tail. However after running a shortbit, I said, "no, I'm gonna try this" and waited for the ogres to follow my party. He ran up and charged at one of my followers...then fell to his death right off the cliff, with the 2nd ogre doing the same just a bit after. It was kinda awesome.

Well, I decided to adjust my schedule and start playing Dogman right away. Running a Mage first, then will turn into a Sorcerer.

Mage is kinda meh at first(it gets better once you get the 2nd elemental spells) and TBH I suggest upgrading after you max out its vocation ranks and pick up its skills. Sorceror on the other hand is freakin awesome.

Oh this isn't my first time playing. I was a proud PS 3 players once, but now I can play one of my favorite games again on a stronger console.

I'm currently level 19 as a Sorcerer, with an equally leveled Strider pawn. Playing on Hard Mode for the Hard Mode Perks, and oh what perks they are. Yeah it isn't fun to get hit but I can deal with it. Parked my game at Gran Soren for today. gonna pick this up tomorrow to see what I get from that Pawn Sharing Club I became a member of.

Hmm I used to dislike ranger but I'm enjoying it this time around. Mystic Knight I'm still kinda meh on though.

If there's one thing I'm tired of seeing from player pawns online it's that queen outfit. It's like on every 1 out of 3 female pawns I swear lol.

Set of Queen's Clothing is very good for low level female pawns, so that's probably why you still see it even later on.

Oh yeah, my own Alexandra sported it for about two seconds til I found something else I could justify putting her in. For a bit she had that open coat that showed the middle vertical stripe of her abdomen and chest, then I found something else with better stats so now she's covered up.

I need to buy this game again on the PS 4 considering my original copy of the game on the Xbox 360 got fucked up when it was scratched.

I seem to recall the White Maiden set, or pieces of it combined with some of the sultrier pieces, being fairly popular with higher level pawns.

I always figured people just like having their waifu as a queen lol.

I did meet one pawn that was just in a thong and leather bra named Slave so it's at least better than that. She was good enough in battle for a mage but I gave her 1 star for appearance haha.

I think mine was dressed in the Maiden's Set, alongside the Gryphic Greaves, Direwolf Cape and what I am pretty sure is the Mistletoe Circlet. So my pawn still had a sultrier set of clothing, but properly armored limbs and a badass unicorn headpiece to make her look more warrior princess than damsel in distress.

This game did have some of the coolest armour, I think. And an equipment slot just for cloaks and capes, which more games should have.

Bitterblack upped the ante with the Level 3 armor sets, too; the Grave and Oblivion Armor sets are especially appealing. And the piecemeal pieces from the lower level cursed armor are nothing to scoff at, either.

What I rmember most from it is that you could get a ton of different Berserk armor from it.

The license expired by the time Dark Arisen was made, so you can't get them in that version. Which is a shame, because I remember making Guts and Griffen cosplays out of my Arisen for New Game Plus.

Onto my current main though, he's a level 37 Sorcerer with 8 Vocation Ranks and has a Strider Pawn with 9 Vocation Ranks. I've completed the story up to meeting the Duke for the first time, and now I'm going to switch up Vocations so I can get the Bastion augment from the Warrior class. Hard Mode doubling damage is no joke, until I equipped Awareness I kept getting one-shot by Salvation Mages. I'm at a point in the game where betting more damage mitigation is going to remove more headaches.
