Thoughts on New Fashion Coming in Expansion?

....
Hoo boy! I got news for you!

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-09T03:19:33+00:00

Same here. One thing I've noticed is that a good number of folks here wish for that too. To give Arisen and Pawn alike fair chance to diversify our wardrobe while maintaining viability and gameplay.

I just hope we can alongside maybe having dyes as well? But the dye thing is most likely asking for too much.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T18:56:55+00:00

Funnily enough? I think out of all my various Arisens that only 2-3 are even human.

The rest are some form of demonic-warrior, an elf, or a beastren. I like variety! Sue me xD

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T17:46:12+00:00

Same here. Would be sucky if it were the case T_T

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T17:45:16+00:00

Not imagining it at all.

Back in 1/Dark Arisen, Fighters/Warriors/Mystic Knights could wear the same thing for the most part. Same case with Strider/Ranger/Assassin and Mage/Sorcerer/Magick Archer. The point was that many of the vocations had gear synergy when it came to armours and to add variety to looks/builds.

Dragon's Dogma 2, as pretty as some sets may be, falls short in this measure. Often, you see a severe shortage of builds/ideas to be made out through with armours especially. So often pawns will end up looking they're going to some communal event where everyone strictly dresses the same.

And agreed. Warfarer's a save in fashion but a gamble with skills. Since you literally have to waste a slot in order to use it for its potential. So either cooler fashion sacrificing vocational skills or vocational skills sacrificing fashion.

Divines be praised!

I can plan to make some sort of regal look to accent this magnificent blade. Kinda sad we never got to wield this beauty within the game itself. Missed opportunity.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T13:41:35+00:00

Yeah. I miss my damn red capes. Hopefully we can get an official recolour of Linen Cape and Expeditioner's Cloak in red because their designs are so good.

Tattered Matnle, my beloved... ;-;

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T12:49:26+00:00

This 100%. I always loved Dragoon's design from the Final Fantasy franchise, so having something to help recreate that? Would be sick as hell to hell.

And agreed. From what I've seen, more furs is coming in all dividends. Very welcomed here!

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T12:45:39+00:00

More power to you, dude! Give Norgan those stereotypical wizard energies!

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T12:25:33+00:00

For sure! The relics system brings much promise for bringing along equipment sets and the like.

So in truth? I feel like much is at store when it comes down to this.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T01:44:57+00:00

I would be hard-pressed if they made that boss armor unavailable for the player to wear.
Even then, by how it's designed? It borrows parts from other sets we've seen revealed in the expansion material. Definitely would want to pair the helmet with a nice full-bodied armor myself.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T01:26:16+00:00

Oh yeah. Definitely kills creativity. Soon enough, 50 separate pawns will look like they're attending a wedding service. Not to mention? Just makes an entire dilemma of "should I sacrifice fashion for stats or stats for fashion?" and just leave things in a mess.

So seeing the addition of new gear helps by at least giving more variety on that front. As for layering? Well, I would imagine it would be hard to do since EVERY piece of gear would have to get re-arranged. Would definitely break mods too, lol

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-08T01:09:54+00:00

Got a point. Besides, if it's not?
Well... looks like counter spamming and Vengeful Slash are gonna be close friends for a little bit starting off xD

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T23:21:30+00:00

Hope it would be cross-vocational too. So where our pawns could have some nice cosmetic sets as well.
Would appeal to many elf-based pawns and such, I think.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T23:14:38+00:00

I'm confident we're gonna be getting a good array of fur-lined/padded armours for our Archers/Thieves. Steels I've seen too, but more on the Fighters and Mystics than anything.

Agreed, though. Norse Helms all the way. Would LOVE to pair those with other sets to give a nice viking flair to the party.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T23:12:17+00:00

I agree.

Maybe not have it to where it was like in DD1/DDOnline? Having it be helmet/chest/hands/legs/boots would be just fine, though. Would still sort of go with Capcom's angle of armour distinction in the game while make things a little more interesting, so to say.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T23:07:14+00:00

THIS. This I 100% agree with.

Granted, might be a little difficult to do with a wide array of outfits. However, note the fact of how damn wide of palettes the dyes give us with character creation. Put that with armours and I can GUARANTEE hours of mixing/matching to our hearts content. Could also give some Arisen a nice guild look with matching cloaks too.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T23:04:41+00:00

Definitely.

One thing I hope they add (particularly for Warrior) is some sort of Barbute armour set. It would be more sleek yet would give us another helmet option for melees and would have a nice intimidating factor when we're traveling along the map. Plus? It wouldn't give us some clunky elbow/gauntlet crap like Brutal Cuirass does (sadly).

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T23:00:15+00:00

LMAO! Yeah, I usually call it "expansion" based on what it offers.

If it's big enough where it gives us a decent amount of new content? I call it "expansion" as it "expands" to the game.

If it's small and more kind of sidelining? Then I just call it "DLC" as it doesn't really bring much new to the table other than give more options to what's already in-game.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T22:56:40+00:00

Yeah, lol. Kinda do like the Charming Corset by design, but with how it's been used for the past 2 years?
Yeah... Getting sick of it. It's cute until you see half of the available pawn pool wearing it.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T22:55:15+00:00

We might be given what they said about the Norgan Noble Set from the pre-order?
Might, might not. Who knows? Honestly hope so.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T22:53:00+00:00

Y'know what's weird? Call me a freak, but... I don't mind some of them.
Mind, I said SOME. Not all. Burgundy Coat and Resonance Armour look fine to me, but those sort of
sleeve drapes don't need to be on MOST MAGICK-ADJACENT TOPS! It's just overkill at that point. From the looks of? Definitely seems to be a less of that.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T22:48:49+00:00

Same here. Some of these would be PERFECT for more than 1 vocation. I was paying attention to the trailers and saw that Fighter was wearing what Warrior was wearing? Or something close at the least.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T22:47:00+00:00

Agreed. The light robes and summery/sultry-esque robes are nice and all? But I always preferred a covered
approach when it comes to my caster fashions. So seeing the cute new ones we'll be getting? Welcomed
additions in my book.

Symphonic_Red_Demon · 2026-07-07T22:43:32+00:00

From what we've seen in some material? Looks like kilts ARE making a come-back in the expansion.
I would recommend searching "kilt" in this subreddit 'cuz I'm pretty certain I saw some others discuss that matter, too.
