It is a single player game - there's no multiplayer as such, you make use of CPU servants called Pawns who can do other roles like tank/heal/magic etc. These are either ingame or from other people uploading their pawns online to be used by others. EDIT - beaten twice :V
You can hire a friend's pawn for free, regardless of level. Also, hiring a friend's pawn will give them rift crystals, which allow them to hire better pawns themselves, as well as quest/monster knowledge.The X360 demo sold me on Dragon's Dogma in less than 10 minutes, it felt AMAZING. However, I never bought it because I sold my console two days later. Can't believe I'm finally playing this.
Aside from the novelty, is there any particular reason to use a friend's pawn instead of random ones?
Seems to stick to that stable 30fps reading all the different impressions in the other DD Switch threads.I couldn't find it in the thread, but how is the FPS? Understand it's locked to 30 like all console versions but how stable is that? It was the one thing counting against the original game for me.
I do, reached the Season 3 content on PS4/PC w/English patch.Same :D Do we have any Era folk that play Dragon's Dogma Online?
Listening to Waypoint discuss this yesterday got me so excited for it. I played about an hour of the original on PS3 and it didn't click, but I think my gaming tastes have changed enough since then that I'm really going to enjoy this
It plays a remix of the main theme, variations of which also featured during the opening sequence and end credits.Now does it have the good main menu music or that horrible main menu music...
Capcom's always had solid performing Switch ports. I don't remember any of their games having framerate issues.Some screenshots I've taken on handheld mode. Looks really good. Pretty solid 30fps so far.
It has, according to play asia. Subtitles: Japanese, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinesedo we know if the japanese retail edition has other languages on it? :D
Oh boy, that's not a rabbit hole you want to go down. What is seen can not be unseen. The PS3 version is absolutely horrendous in comparison to the current gen version. Really blurry (720p* with low precision FXAA and bilinear texture filtering), constantly shimmering low res dynamic shadows and a framerate that regularly drops into the teens. The 360 version is alledgedly a little better (better texture filtering and a slightly better framerate) but it's still pretty bad.How was the difference between PS4 and PS3? Would be interesting tl compare
it is.
This is not how you do quick cash-ins. They're making an anime.Probably not. Don't think the game did that well elsewhere. This is more of a quick cash in from Capcom.
Capcom only does global SKUs.do we know if the japanese retail edition has other languages on it? :D

Yes.is there a new game + just in case I miss some of the missable quests?
I want this game really badly but I've been so busy with work lately that my existing backlog is barely getting touched.
Is it the type of game I can just lower the difficulty setting and enjoy an hour at a time in a Skyrim/exploration/world type way?
Or is the challenge of the combat and putting the time in to get better at that the main "point"?

Yep

Around noon EST in the US if that's where you are is when third-party eShop games usually go live unless the publisher decided to go for something different.
The whole game is on the cart, no additional download needed.Does this game require any "additional download"? or is the whole game on cartridge?
Sweet! I always have to ask this question before I buy any Switch game but now it's time to buy this game for the 3rd time now.
