Just like MHO & PSO2 JP, I'll definitely play this one.
I think it will come out here. I'm sure a lot of DD's sales came from the west.

This is nowhere near confirmed. You're taking PR non-speak at its face value, which I wouldn't recommend doing.

knew it was f2p the moment I saw Online in the title =/
Oh well, this just means that Itsuno has time to work on DMC5 right?

People are still saying this game is for sure not coming west? Don't we all know that "no plans" means "uh yeah not right now guys give it like a month or something"? They could wake up tomorrow and say "NOW we're bringing over DDOnline!" and the no plans statement would still hold.
And I mean it's not like they're doing a PS4 version for Japans benefit. Like seriously, it's coming west.

Yeah too many people are jumping the gun here
I believe the original game was made with a western audience in mind.
Why wouldn't they release it????!!!!
If it does come west, maybe 1-2 years after the fact.
"Major" japanese titles though do not release in the west. It takes some effort for that to happen. Its easier for the Asian market to get a western game translated and in their region than a Japanese game coming over to the west. Its truly unfair but thats how it is.
Capcom ported pretty much every MT framework game from PS3 to PC except for DD. I would have thought DD PC to have been a foregone conclusion too.
It can be a repeat for Demon's Souls and spark a whole new interest in the genre and make it a staple series.

But.. Monster Hunter Frontier Online never get a Western release..
It's still online, in fact.

Yup. I feel capcom will have Deep Down as the western MMO F2P title and have DDO locked to asian regions. Keep your expectations in check people. Famitsu article should of had something along the lines of "aiming to release in western markets" for me to believe or think it had a chance of coming out.
I just realized Deep Down is a thing... Capcom wants to compete with itself to prove a point.
Or just took all their manpower off of Deep Down and put it on Dragon's Dogma cause of Sony's moneyhat.

Dragon's Dogma doesn't have the strength that the Monster Hunter IP has in Japan.They need all the money they can get.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
server costs, hiring staff to run servers & support, setting up the f2p system + payment etc
not exactly a cheap investment which is why am pretty sure SEGA has avoided other regions for a long ass time with PSO 2
Oh yeah, Basara Sumeragi..after how SB3: Heroes sold in the US, we're probably not getting that one, right?
Anyways, nice to know that there may be one more big game coming to PS4.

OMG
Waiting for it.
Waiting for it.
I might not be paying attention to the right games, but I see more games being brought over here than I ever have before. I'm seriously surprised at some of the games getting localised nowadays.
Plus, like others have said, Dragon's Dogma doesn't have the hold in Japan that it needs to be reliably successful there alone. Hell, I'm pretty sure I remember Capcom saying the aim for Dragon's Dogma was to combine western and Japanese style RPGs to appeal to both sides.
I'm confident that this will be localised. It would make no sense not to, given what we know.

Sony is co-developing Deep Down with Capcom too.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Oh hell yes. I'm so fucking in. Dragon's Dogma + 4 player co-op? Holy shit I can't wait. If they manage to handle the F2P elements as well as Sega has handled the PSO2 F2P elements, we're in for something really special.

Deep Down hasn't even been officially announced for the West yet, has it? And even if it did recently get a western announcement, it started as a JP only game.
There's no clever game plan going on, here. Just Capcom being sloppy, and pushing two big titles into a category with no proven massive success.

Dragon's Dogma's gameplay structure was practically begging for multiplayer, so the light MMO elements I think are the natural evolution. I'm also VERY happy it's coming to PC! I'm sure the PS4 version will not look like janky ass like the PS3 version of Dragon's Dogma was, but in the rare case that it is, at least we have the PC version.
The only thing I'm worried about is the F2P elements. That is really the make-or-break part of this whole announcement.

I've never actually sat down and played Dragon's Dogma, I messed with it a bit but never really dug in to it...thinking I should go back and do that.

You have no idea how correct this statement is. You should, indeed, go back and play Dragon's Dogma properly. Preferably Dark Arisen, though vanilla is fucking awesome on its own merits. DA is just more so.

Has Capcom ever NOT done this? Resident Evil + Dino Crisis, Devil May Cry + Chaos Legion, the only genre I can think of where Capcom limited itself to a single entry is jrpgs and Breath of Fire.
I mean they've played English language trailers. Trailers during E3. It's hard to imagine such a game with that specific of Western advertising to not see a release.

Capcom pls
All I want is a pc port of DD with mod support and maybe some form of coop optionally (if I can't have a proper sequel)
Some free to play version is not that

Unless you can read Japanese, you're going to be waiting a heck of a long time...or forever.
Capcom is pretty much pulling a Sega with this game (ala PSO). DD failed in their eyes to now we can't have any sequels as a result.
Deep Down is the Dragon's Dogma sequel we are getting ladies and gentlemen. Might as well get use to it.

Unless like PSO2, someone says fuck em and translates it then patches it on PC. Since it'll be region free all hope isn't lost...yet.
