CASE CLOSED: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bquTnpl2ypvefp8.html But I'll still admit I did an absolute horrendous job in articulating the argument I was intent of putting forth in this upload. Some of y'all are hilarious with the critiques. Nonetheless, my recent DD content essentially wraps up all the misconceptions about the references, details and easter eggs in the game. Most importantly this one, check it out if you're brave enough to change your mind: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNOqmJdhp5bFg4k.html&ab_channel=Champion%27sCrucible Regardless, I still have Itsuno's word above anything else. - Rumble

Reaching way to far with the game mechanic references. The “who let the dogs out” was a great catch though.

This is one of Itsuno's most underrated games ever, Granted It got popular over time and this game has many flaws but if you are able to look past the Flaws, Dragons dogma really is a Awesome game

Favorite part of the game is there's still things we've missed. There's a chest nobody's opened, a sack of gold you've never picked up, Etc.

They need to allow players to alternate openings to the menu. That original track hits. Different.

TIL that wolves will shake themselves when wet and it actually removes the status effect

Just saying the old theme song into free by dangan was lit af had me hyped "simple as 1 2 3"

With the gorechimera, if you take out the lion head and snake first, let the goat heal himself and then kill it once it healed enough, you'll have a ''zombie'' Chimera mindlessly prancing around.

I remember picking this up thinking it'd be a generic game save for the combat, and remember being in awe at the OG menu theme. I've replayed this multiple times on almost every release. God, I'm hoping one of Itsunos next projects really is a sequel/spiritual successor.

I'm sure some of these things were already around in games when this originally released but I played this game first time as Dark Arisen & thought wow there's so many good features they tried with this game such as: - placing your own fast travel points which is pretty cool - water, darkness and many other things affecting you environmentally - the idea of pawns in general - being able to change classes any point in story and develop them individually as one character (to which you could then mix and match certain abilities) Honestly played this for first time in like 2018 and thought damn why have no games done this since?! about many things *oh & ofc gotta add, combat is *chef's kiss*

90% of these references were just similarities tbh

The monster hunter comparison, just same with the mechanics but they look completely different yes i just finished the game this 2019 😅

You missed a LOT of Berserk references. And I'm not talking about the limited time ones.

this game is so underrated. and the amount of playable races they had planned, I seen a picture where it was like 7 of them atleast, and one had a lions head lol like a khajiit from elderscrolls. also the map was meant to be like 3 times the size of what it was and we were ment to have a mission on the moon :( can't belive 60 percent of the content got cut, and the game is still amazing as it is! if only what could have been!

i noticed today that the arc of obliteration's "ready" posture is very similar (basically the same) to the true charged slash's charging posture from monster hunter

Another thing; when you’re knocked down by a wolf and it starts mauling you, you immediately start taking damage if near the head and/or torso. But if it attacks your feet it only gnaws on your boots so you have some extra time before you start taking damage.

One note for this game that i ran into is a "crazy" vagrant you meet inside the city talking about the end times and how messed up the world will be with the dragon here/dragon is defeated. Turns out the "crazy" vagrant was a prophetic one because i think everything he says to the player ends up being true. So its technically a spoiler he tells you, but its so far fetched you wouldnt think to believe it, until it actually happens in the game! Thought that was incredibly cool.

6:20, he tripped and things escalated real quick

Still remember the feeling of pure excitement the first time I heard that og menu theme. It really added something special to the overall experience right from the get go.

I played it so much that dark arisen intro song where she sings is forever in my mind

I've only ever heard dark arisen's main theme, but now I prefer the original. Fits the game's feel better I think.

This is one of my favourite RPG's because of the amount of detail and complexity has. What it lacks in story and dense lore, it's totally made up for in the environments and gameplay.

The Golden egg resembles more Resident evil 4, . . . It really gives a huge amount of health.

*sees a normal bird's nest in a normal tree* Yeah, this is a Resident Evil 4 reference.

Jesus I never knew the goat could take over if the lion died! It's really disturbing.

The last time I played Dragon's Dogma was on PS3, so when I found out in this video that they changed the title theme music for Dark Arisen I was deeply upset. That song was straight-up fire.

Calling some mechanics references is kind of reaching a little bit

This game is played by those who truely loves it.. i also find out many many things about game by playing it many many times when it launched on ps3 and now playing it on pc everyday.

That's so cool to watch, I love this game. I miss the old opening theme (bought the game in 2012 and got Dark Arisen expansion later) and the loading screen with Grigori eating a heart (instead of Daemon fugly face). So many good memories!

That goat dragging the dead lion's head is cursed af

There is also a guts reference with the old sword and armor treasure pile scattered across the game. The armor, helmet, and strap hanging on the sword are what he used in the first arcs.

Some of these are cool but most of these, a new player comes across all the time! Can’t really MISS them.

Good video, it did reach a lil with the end references, but a lot of really solid details I actually never noticed about one of my favorite games

Thanks for the tip at 6:50! That will make finding blank scrolls way easier

THE WIND IS PUSHING MEEEE

Ooh there are swords just like D&D. There are dragons just like D&D. There are trees just like D&D. The guy has boots just like D&D.

Okay so being on my 7th playthrough I just noticed this while I was taxi'ing on the bison that you lead to gran soren; you consume significantly less stamina being grappled ontop of a creature than being grappled below hanging on it. For me I consume no stamina being ontop the bison.

Good video, just got this game a few days ago and i'm addicted to it lol

While playing dmc5 I noticed quite a few animations that were exactly the same as in dragon's dogma, not just the blink strike

speaking of references dont forget the 1st bin in aestellas general store in casadris, it holds a knife you can get in the game and a few metal hunting knives from monster hunter.

2:22 man I forgot how much I loved and miss that original intro theme.

God i miss that WE ARE THE DANGAAAAAAAN theme

This video, single handedly got me wanting to go back into Dragons dogma. Good shit

I understand that the references section is far fetched, what I should've of said was 'similarities' but even that would've been still far fetched for some.

Please check it out over here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fb98aN2l2N_Idok.html

I have replayed this game 4 times now picking it up in 2015 for pc, and again on Switch.

To think all theses things in the video are references you must've played like 5-6 games your entire life.

0:46 DUDE I had forgotten about that game its been like 20 years and i found it because of your video THANK YOU

I CAN PLAY CATCH WITH MY PAWN USING BOARS?????? This game never fail to surprises me

REALLY hoping for a proper sequel or something. Such an amazing and underrated game that needs more love. Tried Monster Hunter but... it was really missing this kinda charm y'know :/

The original theme sound more emotional and feel like you will embark on a emotional adventure and will have an amazing adventure

it's very rare, but I've actually killed the lion and goat heads and had the snake controlling the body by flailing around mindlessly.

A really great job with the video bro. Bought this game for ps3 just because it was made by Capcom and then i had one of the biggest blast in my gaming life. The mechanics, the classes, the massive amount of brutally epic skills and the best combat system i've played made me feel in love. Just amazing. I hope Capcom release DD 2 soon and become the most epic game ever

Never paid attention at this but,the goblin chief speech specially "all the world finished,all will die" , reminds me the azala's line in Chrono trigger

Dude playing the boar catch was hilarious

Nice. I've never seen a pawn catch you nor the bore catch before how fascinating

That dmc reference whooshed over my head like deadass😂

The og intro song was absolutely fire and never should have been replaced

2:44 the current intro is not that low on volume. It's loud as hell, I always launch the game with my headset on mute. (I bought the game 2 weeks ago, have 155 hours clocked in, I reached the Duke's meeting and just drifted off doing EVERY side quest I can get my hands on, this game is a freaking master piece. I've never done this for other RPG games.)

PAWNS CAN CATCH YOU!?!?!! That is so wholesome

There's also some Sengoku Basara ones as well. The eye patch references Date Masamune and the Mystic Knight's abyssal anguish is similar to Nagamasa Azai's sword of light skill.

Also, always take out the goat head first on the chimera. If u dont he will use regen to heal the other parts.

Some straw clutching going on here lol

Ok the pawn being able to catch you is insane. This game was ahead of its time

Just discovered this video and for those who didn't know, concerning the boulder at 7:50, it can also be destroyed but that applies to anywhere else you might find boulders. I destroyed it with a Longsword but i'm sure a spell could probably destroy it as well. It is pretty cool to cut the boulder in half with a well-timed downward slash though

To everyone that pointed out I was reaching comparing Dungeons and Dragons to Dragon's Dogma... I get it, it seems a far stretch. However, DnD was the first time Capcom had ever attempted an RPG with action focused combat. It would've been more accurate for me to call DD a soft spiritual successor since the creative director himself had the EXACT SAME concept when he worked on Dungeons and Dragons. But don't take my word for it... I'll the man behind Dragon's Dogma himself say it. Right here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bquTnpl2ypvefp8.html Also subscribe to the Crucible pls...

A fair amount of this is just seeing what you want to. You could pick up and throw knives in streets of rage, doesn't make it relevant to throwing knives in any other game. The fireballs are as similar as a flaming roll of TP, one explodes in a target area, the other is a lock on, charge up, multicast. There are several spots with boulder traps, not one; the bandit who would stand there representing the pusher, isn't there if you shoot the boulders before it's triggered. For a second I thought you were including the killing the leader of the Goblin attack, but another "it's a reference" And the main theme on the original was two songs, with the next release being just the thematically relevant one. Originally the first song bothered me since it seemed so out of place for the game, but before it's removal I'd gotten used to it and since I have a vanilla copy for console I can play it if I get nostalgic for some reason. Considering the setting: pop style song "The wind is pushing meEEEeeee" Or tolling string instruments, chirp of a pianio and "'Neath a faulted sky; cross loamless plains, and watered blight" Like I said, it grew on me, but it doesn't fit as well.

Thx for video!

now leaving the goat alive by itself i think i did by mistake before and never took notice of great details in this masterpiece

one of the few RPG's i actually finished once and was extremely satisfied!!!

Oh my god, the nostalgia bomb I got from that original main menu theme was so good.

I love this game. On my latest play through, I am on New Game+ (2nd run) lvl 57.

This game is peak Garming❤️so glad I got into it recently

There was a big Capcom-D&D love affair happening at the time of Dragon's Dogma's development. It was to the point where at least one of the monster books (D&D Essentials Monster Vault) had several creatures designed by Capcom's graphic design studio. The Capcom lich is probably my favorite version of that monster.

Should probably have mentioned that also the egg drops are exactly the same kinds, with similar effects even, as RE4/RE5. Rotten Eggs hurt you, reg eggs heal better than common grass/greenwarish (the grass is similar to green herbs also) and the gold egg is an instant full heal of everything just like those games. Only egg type missing is the brown egg.

How is this old game more Immersive than some of the most modern games

You reached so hard with some of these.

I always thought that the crows were a reference to Maximo Army of Zin since they steal and carry diamonds and coins

THE WIND IS PUSHING ME

I always loved the dark arisen theme, first played it on xbox 360, but I didn't know about the original menu theme (it's a great song too)

You missed a couple of big things people also MISSED: Dragon's Dogma is a game Dragon's Dogma can be played You control a caracter in Dragon's Dogma

Not a single one of your so-called references made sense. They have all been done many times before. A running thrust? An egg in a nest? The goblin's appearances? Is that really the best you could do?

DD was going to be a new Monster Hunter game, that's why there are so many similarities, mining, item crafting, breaking monster parts, even some combat animations and Elder dragon animations used in the drakes/gregori but it morphed into something different like RE4 did, becoming DMC

Well... I'd say that many of your references are too far fetched and just plain outta bum. Other than that, I'm sure that some of the things you showed here will be helpful to new players.

Yo! Nice vid my guy..

I have played this game so many times that I knew nearly all of the stuff

The worst thing the devs did was remove the “Into Free Dangan” the original menu theme I found it after I got DA it was literally a perfect main menu theme

Sir, I already find this game perfect (400+ hours at X360) and after those things you pointed, its now Perfect NG+ to me! :)

The Mega Man moniker is actually a subtle nod reference to a popular game and character named Mega Man

Still got my 360 copy love the classic

This was awesome, you NEED more subs.

I don't think I've ever been caught by my pawn once.

"Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious, Arisen"

I had the original dragons dogma on Xbox 360, the main menu opening was amazing once you loved the game, every time I loaded it up I’d get goosebumps😬😬❤️

This game is a gem. Didn't had the time and budget to be polished

i brought this original back in 2012.. man that piano rift brings back memories! i have brought this game 3 times lol

Awww. the original theme sounds so much pleasant.

I got an original release version of it for the PS3 in 2017 when I was like 10 or 11. I played it for like 2 days and then abandoned it since I was a little too young for all the complexity at the time. I just picked it back up and am pretty addicted. Pretty damn awesome for 2012

Cool video dude, only problem i have with it is that i dont think everything is a reference to other games.

THE WIND IS PUSHING ME!!

If you play PC DD:DA, there's a mod on NexusMods that allows the Into Free by Bz's Intro from Vanilla DD to replace the DD:DA Menu Theme.
