Dragon's Dogma Online Looks Brilliant Ahead of Its Japanese Release

Top dogma

Another Dragon's Dogma Online trailer, another painful reminder that there's still no word on a potential Western release. Capcom's massively multiplayer online title has looked great from day one, and with the game launching in Japan at the end of next month, the publisher's released this engaging new video to get some hype flowing.

Featuring plenty of gameplay and a rather epic musical score, it's got us seriously considering jumping back into Dragon's Dogma on the PlayStation 3 in an attempt to try and satiate our hunger for giant monsters and superb combat.

Give the clip a look, and let us know how far you'd go to get this localised in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

I have every intention of putting my Japanese account to good use for this one.

I played beta and think that it's even better than Dragon's Dogma, because it has more japanese feel to it. First DD was at some part an attempt to create western rpg...

@Gemuarto How did you get access to the Japan Beta? Was it as simple as downloading the Beta Client? Also, did they add any new content (faces, hairstyles, etc…) to the character customization section or are they still same as Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen?

Wow, didn't know there was a PC version as well as cross platform gameplay.

@WanderingBullet First I downloaded beta-ticket from PSN among first 10 000 downloads. Access was granted to those who was among those 10 000. Then I've created capcom online account. Then set up connection with PSN through VPN with japanese ip adress.... and that was it =). Beta was region locked =(...

As far as I know, there will be open beta from august 7th. All you need is to have capcom-online id and japanese PSN . The biggest pain is region lock =(...You need VPN or at least proxy to deal with it =).

Don't remember about haircuts, but there were around 20 of them and only one face type. But there were a lot more ways to modify it =). You can tweak with sliders almost everything. I think they will add more face types in final realese.

I remember maximising my offensive mage stats then levelling Magic Archer to become unstoppable in Dark Arisen. What an absolute superb game Dragon's Dogma is.

@Gemuarto Ah, ok. I have a JP PSN account as well, but I hardly use it nowadays, only once in a while I'll log on to see if there are any cool demos to download. Thanks for the info, though.
