      It's worth going back and finishing it if you play the "Dark Arisen" version of the game. It fixes a couple of big flaws with the original (giving you more fast travel points is the biggest one) and adds the best part of the game, Bitterblack Isle. Capcom had to take out the Berserk items though. You could mod them back in if you're on PC.

    After learning that the character creator will have boobs and ass sliders, my hopes for this game not being woke and actually a great experience have increased exponentially. Itsuno is one of the very few AAA devs I still trust. Let's cross our fingers.
    edit. by the way, I think they did not reduce the skills available! In the gameplay video where they showcased the classes, at a certain point during the warrior gameplay, it shows that you can press a "switch skills" key that adds 4 more slots to the 2 shown in the main display. Normally X and O would be run and dodge/jump, but in the switch skill display they appear empty, so I guess you can place 6 skills in total!
    edit 2. regarding fast travel, I don't know if there will be portcrystals but they said in one of the first video showcases that you will be able to travel on the ox carts that populate the world

    Yo synth. We both love Dragon's Dogma, but I have a slightly different take. I do like the world, and I like the lore, though admittedly it was not that deep. I also liked the pawn system the idea of forming a party that actually remembers what they've done was appealing to me. I would approve of a smarter AI, and more dialog with the pawns. I also find that illusionist class interesting and it appeals to me as someone who enjoys magic. Be it summoning monsters, tornados, and fireballs or even illusion magic. The biggest thing that makes me less keen to buy the game is they went away from the "man and woman" to "Type A type b" Also I think, in the original game, they had scales like "macho" which I enjoyed. The attempt of blackrock to "Desex" humanity sickens me.

Capcom is guilty of leaning into wokeness and there are plenty of examples to pick (just look up SF6).

      The fast travel will be in either the form of port crystals and ferrystones, or via riding oc carts. You can use ferrystones to teleport to a Port Crystal, but ferrystones are rare and will disappear with each use.
      Alternatively you can pay to ride an ox cart and choose to rest so time will skip, but there is a chance you may end up attacked on the way to your destination.

    I tried the character creation demo, and they no longer have the "Ladylike and Macho" options. Everyone walks like a grug. They also removed the "Select a gender" when making your character.
    The funny thing is that I made the review on Steam talking about this, and immediately people started to send death threats, LMFAO. You know from where? Canada 🤣🤣🤣

      Granblue Fantasy will be a good but remember that anime games tend to cheap out in game development.
      Like even Fate/Samurai Remnant sounded like it would be easy GOTY but it cheaped out despite being from a major franchise.

    My biggest issue is the reduction of gear slots from 7 to only 4. They combined both upper body armors and gloves all into one piece, and lower body into one piece. This is to make an excuse for lack of undergarment style armors for the sake of "more armor sets" in total. I personally would much rather have the customization and unique combinations over preset armors. The rating has been tamed with no partial nudity, and with the diversity and lack of gender, I won't be surprised if we get some seriously mediocre female style. The under garments look so out of place and low effort as well as super conservative. All this because capcom is giving in to ESG standards. Too bad but the game looks mostly great so I can't wait! If all I can complain about is no lewd and gear customization, that's not the worst deal in the world.

    I played the first years ago on the PS3 and just thought it was kinda bland, I think I made it at least to the goblin infested Shadow Fort, quest wise, before quitting when I explored The Bluemoon Tower before I was actually ready to fight that high of a level. I didn't even think about it again until I saw all the hype surrounding Dragon's Dogma 2's announcement and your videos/streams specifically and I eventually gave it another shot since it went on sale on Steam at the time. Long story short I've played through it 4 times over, and I now understand. You're welcome for all them Rift Crystals I grinded out for your pawn.
    In terms of what was shown for Dragon's Dogma 2, I am kind of only interested in the Beastren area of the map, since that's the only new thing besides automatically already enjoying what little combat we've seen. I understand that most of the story aspects just mirror the first including the setting, but I just hope there's more to it than just retreading over already explored plot events in the same exact places.
    Also from what I've seen so far, the Pawns look like they've got actual good AI at least comparatively to the first outing, so much so that I was sort of impressed. I experienced such AI in the various final Monster Hunter RISE updates, where the AI is almost on par if not better than the human players I played with.
