Synopsis
Capcom recently announced the development of Dragon's Dogma Online (DDO) as its newest game project. The developer explained that DDO will appear as a sequel to the previous game, Dragon's Dogma, and can be played for free through the free-to-play system which has become increasingly popular in the world of online gaming recently. This game will be released for the first time in Japan in 2015, and supports cross-platform features between PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PC. Unfortunately, Capcom still hasn't announced an official release date.
As the title suggests, Dragon's Dogma Online is presented as an MMO game with the addition of various new features adapted to the genre, so that the game displays a different game system compared to previous games. DDO also displays an open world nuanced game world that is free for players to explore. Gadget friends can also form a party with a maximum of four characters at a time.
Currently, the developer has not explained in detail the storyline of Dragon's Dogma Online. However, Capcom said that the story in DDO will be done by Kazushige Nojima, a former writer from Square Enix who is known as the author of the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series. They explained that the core story of Dragonis Dogma Online is humanity's struggle against monsters, where humans need all the help they can get to survive the threat of these monsters. The DDO storyline will also continue to develop along with the presence of new updates and expansions.
The developer explained that the game world in Dragon's Dogma Online is three times larger than the previous game, with a quest and dungeon system designed to encourage cooperation between players. However, for those who like solo games, you can complete the quests and dungeons by using a party containing Pawns. The Pawn system in this game has also been developed with the addition of new features that are more flexible and full of variations, so that we can freely create Pawns that suit our individual tastes.
Capcom said that this game will feature additional new classes that are more varied, but for now there are only 4 classes available that you can play. The first is the Fighter, a type of character with basic abilities in terms of either offense or defense. The Fighter's advantage is being able to counterattack quickly and use his shield to push or knock down the enemy. Then there is the Hunter, a character who attacks enemies from afar with accurate aiming skills. They can become support characters thanks to special arrows, and defeat strong monsters by targeting their weaknesses. Apart from being good at defeating flying monsters, Hunters also rely on their speed to adapt to various combat situations.
The third is Priest, a class that has the ability to help or restore the health of his colleagues. They can use magic to restrain enemies from a distance, thereby increasing the fighting abilities of party members. Priests also rely on magic to attack many enemies at once, especially when fighting dangerous monsters. And finally, the Shield Sage, with a unique appearance thanks to its large shield which is able to withstand almost all types of attacks from monsters. Shield Sage is armed with a staff to cast magic to attack or help friends. The main advantage of Shield Sages is their ability to use shields that are not only used for defense, but also for attacking enemies.
One of the unique features of Dragon's Dogma Online is the ability to attack and capture your opponent's strongholds. Capcom explained that the Orc monster race in this game has an important role in relation to the main storyline. They appear in various types of species, have different ranks, and also have various defensive forts which serve as headquarters. The players' efforts to capture and control these fortresses will be one of the main features in the Dragon's Dogma Online game. Unfortunately, at this time Capcom has not provided further details about the multiplayer features available in this game.
Dragon's Dogma Online is also planned to feature microtransactions features such as those generally found in free-to-play online games. Capcom has planned to release an Alpha version of DDO available exclusively for Japan in April. It seems that DDO is Capcom's answer to trying to make the Dragon's Dogma franchise into a popular series in the gaming world, which is increasingly becoming increasingly popular with the presence of various interesting online games.
