[Skilletor]

Don't know if excited.

 

[jj984jj]

F2P Online? Wha?

 

[Einbroch]

Not sure if joking.

There are actually quite a few. PSO2, SE's card RPG, that other one that came out a while back, Samurai & Dragons, and probably a few more I'm forgetting.

Well then I'm mistaken, I hadn't heard of any of those except PSO2. My bad.

 

[Eyothrie]

I read the title wrong and saw it as a Dragon Quest X Dragon's Dogma crossover.. smh

 

[duckroll]

This isn't a one-off weird thing either. Apparently it's the first in a new series of initiatives that Capcom is tackling. So there might be more of such f2p stuff based on core franchises... maybe? Dunno.

 

[Honey Bunny]

baby steps

 

[Ollie Pooch]

RPG of tend to play crunchy. · Billing help for those who do not salmon play time

Now I want crunchy salmon.

Depending on how they do it, that could turn out pretty well.

 

[Kyon]

is this the game we were promised? 2D sprite mess? noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

not open world dd game? RIP

 

[dab0ne]

So could there possibly be a Monster Hunter for Vita now?

 

[Revolutionary]

I'd rather have DD PC but whatever, I'll play it if it comes out here.

 

[Thorakai]

...would this count as a test?

 

[jorgeton]

I wonder what they mean by 2d? side scrolling? or over the top perspective and sprite based?

I hope it looks like Breath of Fire 4 with HD sprites.

 

[Kyon]

could've made a MH type DD hunting game :/

 

[SolidSnakex]

A new Outbreak through a F2P model would make sense. They're already doing microtransations with weapon upgrades for Revelations.

 

[encephalon]

Square's greatest competition?

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

It's a traditional 2D party based RPG apparently, with towns and dungeons, lots of sub quests, etc.

Towns you say? This I could get behind.

 

[daebo]

Cool. I'd play it on my vita...


question... remember that list of games everybody said was fake yesterday? Wasn't there a DD exclusive for Sony? This could be it... Maybe giving a little credence to that list?

Edit: looked it up, that list said DD2 for PS4... still, kind of coincidence...

 

[YoungOne]

Read dragons dogma then vita and got excited,but saw 2d and f2p. I will keep this on the radar though might turn out good.

Dragon's Dogma Quest coming to PS Vita

Dragon’s Dogma Quest is headed to the PlayStation Vita in Japan this Fall, this week’s issue of Famitsu reveals. Before you get too excited, though, note that this is a free-to-play, online-only 2D RPG.

This week’s issue of Famitsu magazine (via: Game Jouhou) says Dragon’s Dogma Quest has over 150 jobs and is a RPG where you have fun defeating small-fry enemies.

Players can explore dungeons, towns, villages, and take on many sub quests. You bring a pawn with you and can team up with up to four friends, so one party can have a maximum of eight characters.

 

[Squire]

The only reason you're saying this is because it's F2P, isn't it?

You people are so stubborn on some topics.

I'm saying it because "2D F2P RPG" screams "glorified mobile game". That's not what I want out of Vita.

I like mobile games, but I have a phone to play them on.

I like the PS Monile initiative which is Vita compatible. I think that covers the systems needs as far mobile games.

If third-parties are gonna support Vita, it'd be great if they actually went all in instead of pushing us Mobage fodder.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Bones! 2D bones!

It's weak to fire!

 

[Foxix Von]

Please, for the love of God, please be good.

 

[Teknoman]

Please have Dangan. Thats all I ask.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Not sure if I like that. SF, RE, MH, MvC F2P? No thanks

 

[Artorias]

That's a really terrible name, but I hope it's fun.

 

[Midou]

Just started on Dark Arisen a week ago, enjoying it a lot.

I am mildly interested in this as it is at least free.

 

[duckroll]

A new Outbreak through a F2P model would make sense. They're already doing microtransations with weapon upgrades for Revelations.

That would actually be a pretty great idea, if they can get the gameplay right. At least, until Valve announces L4D3!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I feel like they may have missed the point of Dragon's Dogma.

Dragon's Dogma Quest: Final Fantasy Principle

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Developed by Capcom or outsourced?

 

[Ingueferroque]

Kind of sad it couldnt just use the same engine but in a more limited scope.

 

[duckroll]

I feel like they may have missed the point of Dragon's Dogma.

I feel like people give Siliconera's reporting on Japanese news too much credit.

 

[ReaperXL7]

could've made a MH type DD hunting game :/

Lol yeah then people would complain about anothet hunting game on Vita. Ill hold out to see what this is even like before i get excited. We probably wont even get it, we still have not gotten either of the sega F2p games.

 

[Halfmunch]

Is this going to be like Dragon's Dogma meets Dragon Quest?

This would be interesting Dragon's Dogma could use some color.

 

[levitan]

Well, that's a start. They have released nothing on the vita since MVC3.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Well, that's a start. They have released nothing on the vita since MVC3.

Not true, we did get Street fight x Tekken last fall aswell. Outside of fighting games not much love though.

i like hunting action so dont care about those ppl but i hate 2d please but something not side scrolling

 

[SneakyStephan]

That thread title isn't a rollercoaster it's just a bottomless cliff...

Dragons dogma YAY quest vita ok f2p No! , 2d nonononono , online oh fuck it.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Now that my elation has subsided, even after the full translation, it still sounds up my alley. Capcom has done wonderful 2D work in the past, here's hoping they still got it.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I feel like they may have missed the point of Dragon's Dogma.

That's what spin offs are for I guess.

The fact that they think the IP is worth making spin offs for is good news to me.

 

[StunandStab]

As someone who thinks Dragon's Dogma is the best game this generation, this is really weird news to hear...

I'm not sure if I should be excited about this or not.

This is not the Dragon's Dogma we deserve, nor the one we need right now.

Still, it could be fun, I guess

 

[zroid]

Weird

I'll definitely give it a try tho

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I never played Dragon's Dogma but I'm curious if this is going to be similar to Wonder Boy in Monster World? That would be so awesome.... Damn, it's online only which is too bad. :<

 

[Whitebison]

could've made a MH type DD hunting game :/

This so much.

 

[Jaleel]

Not sure how I feel about the transition to 2D. Here's hoping that it looks good.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Dying. Dying so hard right now.

I don't think 2D means sidescrolling. I haven't read any indication of the actual presentation style the game uses so far, but based on what has been said, I think it's more likely to be a top down 2D RPG. The description of the battles in the game also don't sound action based at all. The player levels up by issuing commands to the pawns, not by fighting himself. There is a lot more focus on tactics than on action supposedly. It's supposed to be a party based battle system which captures the part of Dragon's Dogma where the player can plan and attempt various tactics against an enemy by judging the appearance of the enemy. That's what the Japanese blogs say.

Shoot, I still hope for more single player 2D platforming JRPGs but yeah, I immediately though sidescrolling/platforming game when I read that.

 

[mothball]

Capcom wanting in on some of that FF: All The Bravest action.
