Dragon's Dogma 2’s developers say feedback from Japan and the West clashes on how much inconvenience should be built into the game. They’re balancing regional desires while rolling out updates to Dragonsplague and faster travel ahead of the Dark Arisen expansion, emphasizing a sense of accomplishment over raw friction.
Devs say Japanese players want a smoother journey with less friction, while Western players often seek more challenge; to balance, Dragon's Dogma 2's 2.0 overhaul adds quality-of-life improvements, an optional weapon customization feature, and a new Hard Mode, aiming to satisfy both regions ahead of the Oct 8 Dark Arisen expansion.
The Western version of Lost Ark will receive the upcoming balance patches earlier than initially planned, moving from February to January, due to community feedback and collaboration with Smilegate RPG, aiming to improve update timeliness across regions.
