Pray, Maker, that all diligence will be rewarded in due time.

The LORE: Near 7 years has passed since Capcom's critical darling slapped the grey out of Grandma and said, "Roleplay, Camera, Action!!" After marked re-releases, this year, it arrives on the motherlovin' Switch. A year, like all others, that is also a rueful reminder that DAZ'ALL, DAZ'IT. The grey is returning and we're outta dye, Ice Cube!!
Why is Dragon's Dogma so beloved, asks the fellow in the back? Because it's massively fun to 'play', to partake in its flashy realtime, SotC harking combat, to progress under old school class systems, and also for how it plugs you into a world from an inspired escapist's daydream -- despite the rather sparse and trimmed surface. Ideas that range from conventional (strong char. customization) to inventive (pawns and other online mechanics) compliment each other in a coat of elegant, pen and paper presentation. Not all of which pan out evenly; some would argue to the entirety's detriment. But that's all the more reason the hunger persists, the dream continues, for a bigger, a better realization of it all: DD number 2. A game with all the spirit and lovability of our fire happy Pawns, in the skin it was destined to be. 'Specially since that MMO is staying local and drying up.
But every year is the same wishful ruminating, as is inevitable, and you may have heard before. Whatever Capcom and Itsuno elect to do, many would like to hope Dragon's Dogma isn't forgotten. Who knows when we'll get such a confirmation, but in the meantime, the neverending cycle is where we'll be, babehs..!!
So, 2019 is here, Capcom is hitting the jackpot, and Mr. X is going to give it to ya; do you still have the hype for a Dragon's Dogma 2 in wake of all this?! At what point do you think it will be reasonably out of the question to expect it? ;o
