Do we know if this is getting dual shock 4 support? Currently playin assassins creed syndicate and I love that the PC version of that support dual shock 4 and provides dual shock 4 icons as well.

you should pm wbacon for definitive answer

Do you guys think Capcom will have some VAC system in place for the pawn system? One of the best feelings for me was seeing my pawn coming back from a journey with a nice recommendation / gift from another player (plus the knowledge).

Who is gonna hire my pawn when you can probably get a pawn with 999+ in all stats?

Unless the price for the pawn is on Capcom server side...

A shame Into Free was removed from the game, I thought this was a nice catchy song, makes you want to start the adventure :D

The way it starts with the nice piano music you'd expect from a title screen song and then all of a sudden you've got someone screaming at you was always interesting.

Haha I agree, this reminds me of the SF 4 intro, I for one like this Japanese intro theme stuff .

Hell yes.

But the Shadow/Oblivion headpiece is so ugly. :/

Is Fashion Dogma as viable as Fashion Souls? I won't be missing too much by choosing weaker armor just because it looks better?

You can get by in the main game just fine with whatever armor. You'll have more trouble in Bitterblack Isle. Your pawn may not be hired as much if you play Fashion Dogma with him/her, because a lot of savvy players will look specifically for pawns with top-end armors and such to roll through BBI with.

This one pls

Well on Hard Mode you might want to play efficiently with armors early on, but past a certain point it doesn't really matter anymore(when you have enough health to not die in one hit to stuff basically), so at that point you can wear whatever. You'll probably use more consumables to heal but it's not like they're rare or expensive anyway, and with item hotkeys in this version, it's even less of an issue. On normal it doesn't matter from the start basically.

Sounds great to me. Thanks!

Oh, I'm not touching hard mode, at least not for a few playthroughs. Hotkeys are really good, but I don't think I can work with them using the DS3.

Maybe if I map the PS Button with joy2key to heal, that might already be very helpful...

Be thinking about OT subtitles guys.
This one:
|OT| They're Steamworks all, you can't go wrong
Nothing else is acceptable.


Has photo mode ever been mentioned before?Cuz wbacon confirmed it.

Whoaaaa. Okay I'm gonna start post in the PC screenshot thread for the first (oh wait I posted Indivisible demo shots) second time in my life. xD

Nah it's mega cringe. Japanese music is bad in general.
Japanese pop music you mean. If so, yes. That song is terrible. Good riddance.

It's doable but probably a bit less viable than in Souls. Armour does make a difference.

Grief.exe is doing the OT, and I will contribute a mini-FAQ/list of beginner's tips.

Worst part of Fashion Dogma would probably be that you can't hide helmets and a lot of the helmets look extremely ugly. Though we will probably see a mod for that.

Fashion Dogma is amazing to me. Mind that you can wear dresses AND armors. So 4 slots (two legs slots, two torso slots) to create your fashion.

There's a lot of decent headgear though, like bandit masks(bandana covering the mouth), circlets of various types, full hoods, ball masks and glasses. Obviously the armor values on some of these aren't really optimal but if you're doing fashion stuff, that shouldn't be an issue. And you can always just wear nothing too.

Yeah this is true. I always equipped circlets on my characters, basically. Fortunately in
Bitterblack Isle
you find the
Dragon Wings
(? forgot the exact name) Circlet which looks pretty cool.

Edit: regarding the post above, I always found that the hoods looked like complete crap, especially the full masks you find in
Bitterblack Isle
. Circlets FTW
 
I'm thinking about getting it for my laptop, because MT Framework games do tend to run on pretty low settings. Though with experience from the console version's framerate I don't think it'd make much difference.

Yeah, circlets were really the only way to go with helmets if you wanted to look decent. Although, there are a few heavy armor helmets that look pretty good. Medium armor.... No.

And yeah, the circlet you're talking about is what I mainly ended up using when I got it. That being said, I'd prefer the look of nothing or a good-looking helmet to the circlet.

I liked Sultry Cowl on my Magick Archer. The other type of hoods are like kinda ninja-like and I didn't care much for them.

Dark Arisen also had a really cool mage hat, but that's Magick Archer only, other Strider/Sin classes can't use it.

Is the asynchronous multiplayer boss still in the game? Asking because he was pretty hard to damage with a mage like character in the original since it's weak points were hard to reach and I'm wondering about what kind of character I will go in this time.

I promise you the online boss will be hacked to shit in days. Only drawback of being on the PC, I guess.

Doesn't really matter though, other than it'll progress a bit faster in generations than on consoles. You still have to beat the boss yourself to get the loot, and your experience isn't affected by other's, besides which weak point is accessible in the last segment. You can also play the fight offline if you want to do the entire thing, although a lot of classes needed a few tries to entirely kill it.

I thought the online one has loot the offline one doesn't?

If anything, Fashion Dogma is even more viable than Fashion Souls. There are hundreds of armor sets, and even sets based off of Guts and Griffith from Berserk.

You'll find many people playing Waifu Dogma with their pawns too. xD

Hate to tell you this, but they couldn't get the Berserk armor sets in for the PC release. Copyright nonsense...

Berserk armour sets are gone from the PC version. Licensing issues.

Unfortunately this is true. 90% of the pawns I'd see in the rift were the loli waifu crap kind. I never hired them and always went with either male pawns or female pawns that looked cool, badass or original.

I liked the Game of Thrones cosplays. I remember hiring Hodor, Brienne and Arya. :D I also hired Jesus (the sorcerer xD) one day too, was funny.
