Gup posted:I don't know how much game I've got left for just the main story.  chat -Each of those locations you mentioned with the glowy gold doors (The fourth is Lost Izalith through the Demon Ruins, past Queelag's Domain/Chaos bonfire.) holds a boss of course. Once you defeat all four bosses, you unlock the final area. So really, it depends on how long it takes you to complete those areas. But you're mostly there! I can't wait for my copy of Dragon's Dogma to get here. I'm pretty clean set on Magic Knight, the big blunt smashy weapons are an absolute favourite of mine and the Magic Shields look quite cool from what I've seen of them. I was worried you'd be stuck with some kind of little toothpick sword and buckler, but this doesn't seem to be the case. You can very much do a 'hulking viking warrior' look as much as a dashing mage-fencer. As 'generic fantasy' as this setting looks, it does some things that few others I've seen seem to. It's got a diverse seeming representation of cultures! Lots of accents and skin tones actually represented in the NPCs as well, it looks like. I'm loving that - while I'm not one to go 'my immersion is ruined!' when everyone is a carbon copy, I rather appreciate the seeming effort to diversify. Of course this is Capcom, so it's likely more awful than I know. I'll see firsthand soon!

Should Diablo or Dragons Dogma get my moneys? It's a hard one! The DD demo certainly scratched a "party of awesome warriors" itch, with combat that felt enormously heroic in a way that almost every ARPG fails at.

I made a pretty good Balthier clone. A travesty there's no sideburn options. The character creation is pretty in-depth if you fiddle with the details. Plus having both a slot for clothes and armor is loving amazing. More games need to do this. Wearing a steel breastplate makes me cringe for my nips just thinking about it. Game gave me a smile when one of my pawn's yelled out "Tis but a flesh wound!" in the heat of battle. Reference's beaten to death, but didn't expect it from a Japanese dev.

Thanks! I think I'll try to finish the game first, before moving on to DD (who am I kidding  ...).And for the poster above me talking about a certain game site, guess you can't spell ignorant without IGN. I stopped caring about their game reviews a long time ago. Don't get me wrong, not hating on them, but besides their specials/exclusives/TV show reviews they ain't got much going on for me anymore.

4 and a half hours until gamestop opens... I'm glad that this is the release date, because yesterday was my birthday, which means birthday money. Too bad I can't play all day tomorrow because i told my father i will help him install and AC unit.

I have no idea how you are supposed to import the demo characters I made into the game. Someone said they're supposed to appear as the default, but...no? edit: Oh yeah, I played the Japanese demo...

It really breaks up the gameplay unnecessarily. "My lord! Grab hold! I shall send you to the beast!" [Gameplay pauses and camera swoops over to focus on pawn's clasped hands]

I've just played Dark Souls, Skyrim, and a bit of Dragon Age. I don't think I can deal with another Western fantasy world, but I think I'm going to trade in Skyrim this week and get Dragon's Dogma. I've played mages recently, so I think I'll go with an Archer or a Magic Archer. How many games have used the Stinger move anyway? Besides the DMC games I've used it in Bayonetta and Marvel vs Capcom 3.

So my David Bowie pawn seems to be going over real well. Too well. Now his responses to victory are classified as 'arrogant.' Wandered off the starting story path twice and decided against it after getting my rear end handed to me by bandits. To be fair, I hadn't bought any skills in a long time and bandit mages are the worst. Oh, and a great way to kill goblins is to through a jar of oil on them. No fire needed, it's an instant kill for some reason.

If you're playing fighter/warrior, as soon as you see someone carrying around a staff or starting up a spell, you better drop everything you're doing and Blink Strike their rear end.

Strider but they have a similar attack. My solution for one group I found on a mountain pass was to start tossing them all off the cliff. My solution to the Catacombs in Dark Souls has once again paid off in spades.

Does anyone know if the augments from mage/sorcerer for increasing magick damage also apply to the magick shield skills for Mystic Knight? E: On second thought, considering my playstyle with Mystic Knight, I might switch back to my starting vocation of fighter for a little bit.

How important is encumbrance? I want to sprint all over and spam attacks, so making a small character sounds ideal. But that does mean the littlest knight will be limited to light armor instead of plate? Or is that purely for loot and/or tossing dudes around?

Not sure if its me, but playing a mage is hard. Spells are pretty badass though. also anyone do that escort quest with the Ox, THAT SUCKS BALLS! I WENT THROUGH ALL THAT JUST TO DIE IN THE VERY END! Be prepared for that. You have to start all over... sucks rear end.

What determines what kind of armor you can wear? I'd like to play a Mystic Knight but I don't want to be stuck in robes. I'm envisioning myself as Sauron, all plated up with a mace blasting fools with magic.

Everyone make one post with game name, system, and pawn name, plus relevant pawn details. We can go back and edit the post as we play and grow. That way, we can pick and choose who we friend.

Mystic knight definitely gets to wear armor--at least the same armor as a fighter, with some unique pieces like magic shields.

Get the last copy Best Buy had, get it home, go to install it... 360 makes some ugly, ugly noises and the install won't start. So hurray, either my copy of the game is hosed in the ear or my 360 is dying. Again. For about the fourth time in a year. Lemme kill some manticores and poo poo, god dammit!  E: Thought it might be the hard drive, but the game saves/loads just fine and plays alright without being installed. Obviously I don't want to just play from the disc, though. Anyone got any ideas?

It makes me really mad I can't play this game until Wendsday. I hope everyone is having fun so far. By the way, can your main pawn change classes at anytime? Edit: Also I can't decide if I want to make my pawn an anime, or something silly or cool. Decisions decisions... Dogbutt fucked around with this message at 15:50 on May 22, 2012 |

Some of the class information for this game is strange. The official site and the OP here, says that Mystic Knight can only use 1h swords/maces and shields. This video http://youtu.be/5lds9KFgoZ4, shows them playing Mystic Knight with a staff and shield combo. Does anyone with the game have the correct information for class restrictions etc?
