Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen for Nintendo Switch |OT| Wolves Hunt On The Go, Arisen!

Super easy in terms of classes.
The only thing you might have a problem with in cases like that are your characters' size; height and weight make a difference in terms of stamina (big characters have a higher maximum, small characters regenerate fater), speed (smaller characters move faster, though Sprinting is normalized so large characters don't spend the entire game moving slow), how easily you are thrown from / picked up by enemies and how you move when carrying a lot of weight. I seem to recall reading at one point that taller characters also have greater melee reach but I can't seem to find it now. Smaller characters also have a smaller hitbox, obviously.
There are skills you can pick up (Leg Strength / Sinew) that affect those mechanics, and there's items you can buy later that lets you redesign your character if you want. But to be honest, as others have said, it's not a big deal and nothing you can't adjust to on the fly.

Wow, this is awesome! 0_0
And guys, feel free to add me so we can share pawns: 5806-2476-1401
Yeah, the current gen version does feature better textures (apparently the team had higher res master files on hand so they went back to those) but I don't know if the improvements extend to the texture based effects or not. I don't think particle effects have been touched at all, either.
If you're still curious, here's DF's analysis comparing the PS3 original to the PC version (which all the other current gen versions are based off).

Think this will finally be the time I pick this game up. Are all vocations good enough to get through all content? I always heard Warriors are kind of weak.
Wait, going by the OP they've put internet multiplayer in this release?? I remember you could just "rent" pawns in the other versions, how is it different here? Damn, would be awesome.
Anyway, I also couldn't find it on the release info blurb in the OP but is there a physical release as well?? Going by comments on the last page I see people waiting on their orders but I thought it was digital only! Is the physical release complete or you need to download some of it? Appreciate any replies, thanks guys

The only way you'll be playing with other people is if you play it on Switch, as I'm not sure this title supports cross-platform play.
I'll pick it up if they added actual multiplayer. That would be amazing.

I took that piece of info from the Capcom site but network multiplayer is just for one optional boss fight. The rest of the game is single-player. Also there's a physical release in North America, Europe and Asia IIRC.
Huh? I said "at the same time as other people." Platform is completely irrelevant to that. But also, you can't play "with" other people in-game regardless. At best, you can share pawns via friend lists, and no that doesn't work across platforms.
There actually is (was?) a Dragon's Dogma Online, but it never released outside of Japan, if I remember right.
there is no physical release in Europe.
Japan/NA only.
The multiplayer confusion is why I posted this on page 1 btw:
From which store did you order your copy, if I might ask?
I pre-ordered from Best Buy, but I still haven't gotten my shipping notification.
I just got my shipment notice from Best Buy. Looks like they are working on them now.
My Amazon copy shipped yesterday and is slated to arrive tomorrow. I already double-platinumed the game, so I'm in no hurry to replay it again.
I am curious to see how this port turned out. PS4 version disappointed. Was a nice step up from the last gen versions, for sure, but it should have run at 60 FPS, IMO.

Pre-ordered, been kinda on the fence but the combat and monsters and all the impressions here pushed me over the edge.
Excited to play it finally lol.

Was in my local GameStop looking for a particular anime Pop Figure for my daughter and I saw the case out on the shelf. The clerk said it was out but the system wouldn't let her sell it until Tuesday. So close...
Since they already had them in hand I went ahead and preordered it in full since I know I can get it tomorrow at opening.

Warriors aren't weak, just one-trick ponies compared to the other classes. If you play with some ranged/magic pawns, you'll be fine. Solo warrior is the real hardmode.
I'd probably tier the classes like this:
OP-Tier: Magick Archer, Mystic Knight- These classes make the game an effortless cakewalk when built well.
Mid-Tier: Assassin, Sorcerer, Ranger, Strider- These classes can decimate most enemies, but still require some skill to play effectively.
Low-Tier: Mage, Fighter, Warrior- These classes have some obvious shortcomings and require the most effort to succeed, but are still totally viable.

Thanks :D
We were talking about it earlier in the thread but visuals-wise, the Switch version is near identical with the PS4 port except for some pop-in sometimes in the open-world. Handheld looks good too. 1080p docked (just like PS4/XB1) and 720p handheld.
The game runs at a locked 30 the whole time, from the impressions I've been reading. Another great port from Capcom.
Here's some shots of the game in handheld mode posted by sosainas and here's a video comparing the visuals of the PS4 and Switch versions.
Some screenshots I've taken on handheld mode. Looks really good. Pretty solid 30fps so far.

GameRevolution says this
https://www.gamerevolution.com/guides/528719-dragons-dogma-switch-unlock-time
I'm in the UK myself so I'm hoping it unlocks at midnight but I'm not holding out any hope :/
Still haven't gotten any notification from them. Hope that changes soon...
Those screenshots are definitely not 720p handheld. Looks somewhere around 600p.

Likewise, feel free to add me if you would like to use my pawn. Her name is Elvira. She's a Sorcerer at level 78 with a Challenger/Scatherer inclination combo.

I've been saying this since it was announced...but broke and bought it anyway.
I guess that means you should buy it two more times to make it 6.

Played for a bit and eill go to bed now.
Will add you guys later. Feel free to add me too. My pawn will be Schierke (sadly her name is censored for some reason - so I called her Shiruke) - a hopefully useful support mage. :)

He's not really wrong. The scope alone makes that true. The art style isn't exactly eye catching to me though. I'm sure I'll end up buying the digital version when it's $20. Shouldn't take too long since it's Capcom.
Based on my personal experience and the responses in the thread you'd feel like this game has 50000 fans who have bought all the copies sold so far.
I'm also at 4 purchases already, if I wasn't in the middle of a PC playthrough i'd be thinking of picking this version up.

I'm not sure if this is my fourth or fifth version.
But I DID get the PS3 and PS4 platinums, FWIW!
:D
Such an amazing game.
It'd be brilliant portable, but I get the feeling the hired pawn part of it will be very tedious offline.
I doubt they would have changed the system and it'd suck to play this mostly during commutes and get stuck with the randomly generated garbo offline pawn hirelings.

I starting to believe there are people who will simply buy it on anything BUT Switch.
I'm getting a bit worried as I haven't heard back from Best Buy about my order.
My physical Switch copy should be here tomorrow. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, it's very unlikely that I'll play it any time soon, but I'm happy to support the game again.
Once you hire pawns, you wouldn't have to be online anymore until you need to hire new pawns.
