The online mode looks good. Not intruding with the Single Player experience.

It would be fun if the online quests will have regular content updates just to keep playing it after finishing the story.

I wonder how beneficial these indirect interactions will be. Obviously you don't want someone doing all the work for you. I wonder if the information exchange is limited to small things or if it'll list something in full detail. Like, a monster's traits, skills, item drops and rate and whatnot.

So optional 4 player online quests, that's fine with me, doesn't pollute my single player experience with multiplayer stuff that I don't want.

do we know what the bottom screen is used for?

God I hope you can map skills at least. Don't make me cycle skills with the dpad :(

I'm done for some optional 4 player online quests! Maybe take down some of those gigantic monsters we've been seeing?

I'm curious to learn more!
 
Hope I can take on those co-op quests on my own.

Just posted in the other thread about Pro Controller support. I'll mostly use the Gamepad but like having the option. Hope they have voice chat in the US (they won't).

Why do they look dumber? The online play has been verified, this tiny bit of information doesn't say anything about how much of the game is designed around online play, or how good the single player game is.
