0:48 That spell was my jam in that game. If you extended the origin point out with the right analog stick you could usually get a free cast in before alerting enemies. See a group of lizard men milling about? Now they're flying! That and spamming holy spells at night to see what was going on.
Too bad they removed so many spells. I also wish that you could vary your cast time for meteor like you could in the first one so that you could only cast a couple of them instead of waiting the entire animation Also you can't manually cast a spell at a location, you have to be aiming at something. Like if I want to cast at the middle of a group of enemies I can't now I have to pick one of them
And you have little control over where you are targeting. No more the days of casting Maelstrom from the distance before the group of enemies started attacking you. Also, now Maelstrom doesn't pull targets from the outer range, so if the enemies get slightly out during the time you start spinning your staff until the spell lands, they are safe and you wasted all that time for nothing.
Honestly getting instagibbed by bandit mages in BBI who used the spell was most likely the source of that change lol. BBI consisted of small condensed spaces which made getting away from the sucktion a nightmare though too so who knows.
They really should’ve made Warfarer the class everyone ends up as (it’s called “Arisen” in Japanese) Allow everyone to pick 2 vocations they have maxed out and have 3 skills for each with Rearmament switching between them So the old Strider would just be a Warfarer using Thief + Archer
I would rather have the old system with each class having two weapons or 6 skills, and with warfarer allow you to select two weapons to swap in the fly with ANY skill you want, that would prettymuch let you be watever you want. Theres a reason most people use moded warfarer to be able to use most skills....and as others have said...i miss mystic knight....hence im going back to DD1 just to play it again
I keep seeing this. Most of second set of skills were moved to being combos instead of button presses. So they’re still there, you just activate them differently.

Just to further add, when you got games like Final Fantasy 16 having a rather creative way to have multiple skill sets by being also able to assign a Eikon to each one despite only having 2 skills per, you end up with a whooping 6, plus 3 more with the eikon special gimmick or 3 sets of skills which can be swapped quickly in-between to allow DMC level of combat. Just another reason i wont be picking up this game because i already have the `controller gameplay `memory hot-swapping distance` as i would call it (aka you forget the controls are mapped differently) when it comes to Final fantasy 7 rebirth and grand blue fantasy relink where how they have the controls mapped tends to jar me a smidge in some ends. Even if i could remap the controls with some of them. Anyway, i find the first one definitely looks more good where the camera shake feels more wow and its got the camera better zoomed out so you can really see the impact of the spell. While it kind of looks like the latter either looks roughly the same or more static, such as the tornado in DraDog2 feels a smidge more static on ends.@@briancaples5614
Facts everytime I bring this up people mistake the statement as meaning I want more so I can be overpowered or something but in reality I just want access to a fun and diverse moveset.
If you played warrior in the first game you only hot access to 4 skills and same for daggers technically though you also had the bow that had its skills.
I like the dda because you can see the sparkles in the sky where the meteors are coming from which is awesome really makes you feel powerful idk if dd2 has that
@@cannedsquasher5923 the only mods for DD1 are graphics and a cheat mod. The engine is so bad there's no gameplay mods to improve the actual gameplay. It's just legitimately just as good and better in other aspects as the sequel.
@@hipcheckboiii1603 Wrong! There are tons of DD2 gameplay overhaul mods to change how the vocations play (e.g 8 skills instead of 4, unique skillsets per weapon for Warfarer, better levitate, mixing movesets across vocations, etc.)There's an incredible Spell Maker mod to create your own spells, an Enemy Randomizer mod to change the enemy variety and sizes of creatures, and true difficulty mods for NG+/endgame which change the stats, attack behaviours and abilities of enemies. Amazing mods are being released and it's barely been out for a month.
@@hipcheckboiii1603 there are gameplay mods for the first one though, like the one allowing warrior to use 6 skills or the one that added an unarmed vocation
I think the animations look better in the first game. The graphics might be better now but the distortion effects make it harder to see enemies when you’ve casted I basically have to back off till they are done to resume attacking
The Sorcerer feels hella mid compared to other vocations in DD2, or even compared to the Sorcerer in DD1. You get 12 skills in total, 4 of which are shared with the mage and 2 are locked behind long questlines. Then there's the lack of any interesting and involved game mechanic like the other vocations have, no unique blocking or dodging or timing your hits. Nope, you get an ability to cast faster and regen stamina. Nice. I like standing in place and pressing 3 buttons. And the new spells aren't even cool, just some run-of-the-mill elemental attacks, with the exception of the flare, which is entirely busted. I'm not even mad, just disappointed.
I agree, although yeah technically the sorcerer was kind of like this in the first game too because this is the nature of most mage casting focused classes. Still I wish they could have done more with it and not removed spells. (And vocations, mystic Knight)
It's still strong. Augural flare is easily the strongest attack in the game, though it needs a bit of a setup. Very good for wayfarer combos to just have archestaff just to put it up before attacking with something fast. But I feel you, man.
Huuu i dont think so i played with sorcerer and the game was so easy like the dragon didnt had a chance to kill any of my pawns it tooked me like 3 mins or less to kill him..
I like how there is not a single statement in this comment section that is not directly contradicted by someone else in equal amounts. The most even split I've ever seen
I actually really like how they made the fireballs shoot off like a mortar round in 2. Makes more sense then you just getting yoinking surprisingly tiny meteors that happen to be someplace close to the planet.
it's less cool.. why does it matter that ot makes "more sense" ? it's a fantasy rpg not a realistic physics simulation there's plenty of things that make no sense but as long as they are cool we don't care.
@@birbboi2986 There are a lot less realistic fantasy games out there. This one has relative permadeath, environmental physics, ARPG combat, it's definitely geared closer towards realism than fantasticism
@@birbboi2986 More cool in my opinion since it's a pretty unique spin on the classical meteor spell. Do you know how many games let you call tiny rock from orbit as the ultimate fire spell? It's pretty much all of them that have fire magic. At least this one does something different with it. It's all ascetics anyways. The result is still "magical carpet bomb" so who really cares. I just thought it was a neat little visual addition instead of the game going "they just appear."
@@Rangerthehound Caster vocations were especially affected by that.

Only thing i missed is not being able to use that one warrior move that increases damage when getting hit by enemies while charging but i get why they removed it. It's just an alternative to the currwnt charged slash so it doesnt add much other than charged slash with extra comditions
I feel there's something missing on some of the skill animations of the other class. Ryota Suzuki which is DD's battle designer is now working on Final Fantasy (Square Enix). I think it's one of the reasons.
Dragon's Dogma is like the only RPG where the Mage Class dominates tf out of the Warrior and Thief classes. I'm a Warrior class in like every game and even I admit the Mage is PEAK in DD
Another spell or skill i'd say i really like in DD2, from the magick archer class is Ricochet Seeker/Hunter. I can clean a cave (big monsters included) without even setting foot in it👌
I dunno, both versions of each spell were pretty well done in their own way. There's a certain consistency between games yet each has their own flavor.
I feel high bolide is better than meteoron in animation and execution, cause with bolide you don’t really have to aim it’ll auto aim, and the animation where you swing the staff feels more purposeful and the camera looking up to where the fireballs launch up to is just really cool.
As a Great Sword only Warrior, I really hated golems until my Sorc pawn learned Meteoron. I just wish she'd cast it faraway like I always teach her, cause for no reason she just starts casting it under the guy's legs.
Found a ring that would turn Gicel and Bolide from High to Grand and My main pawn would call forth its power even in the smallest of enemy it can find Cant blame her, its cool af.
Maelstrom is my favorite spell but i hate it because its a huge bitch when enemies cast it Its either keep on healing as your bpuncing up and down, or wait till you hit the ground, and decide whether you wanna go back to last save or use a wakestone Why not use your wakestone? Better start running, or youre gonna be RIGHT BACK IN THE FUCKIN TORNADO
Eh. The first one also has high versions of those spells, which isnt shown in the video and do look more impressive than their base versions. Heck, you can get grand versions of bolide and seism too. (Gicel and fulmination also, but sadly they're removed.)
The older footage is not from Dragons Dogma. Its Dragons Dogma online. The shortlived MMO. Great game but looks totally different. Online has a bit of anime style sprinkled in. You can really tell with the character animations. They are a bit more flashy and poppy. Hard to explain but easy to see.
Are you really sure? The mage and sorcerer gameplay is quite different from Dragon Dogma Online.... Also it's quite obvious this is Dragon Dogma UI, and that look like cassardis beach.
What is your point? Both games did marvelous with the attack animations. DD2 is absolutely worthy successor. The game is like those awesome CGI mobile games ads but turned into an actual gameplay.
I like the look of old Maelstrom better, tbh it looks a lot like a water spout and I got to see one of those IRL and that shit was cool. It was really far away but still neat as hell. The big new hurricane thing in the new animation looks less interesting to me.

They removed Gicel tho. Was the most fun spell to use for me. Frigor might be better than before but no comparison to how epic Gicel was.
Gicel was my favorite sorc spell in the first game. Though I miss it, I do think Frigor is a worthy replacement/change.

edit: it's from bg3 apparently.
Playing the bg3 fight music... pretty cheeky 😂
Dragon's Dogma is like the only RPG where the Mage Class dominates tf out of the Warrior and Thief classes. I'm a Warrior class in like every game and even I admit the Mage is PEAK in DD
Warrior is ass in DDDA, thankfully someone fixed it with a mod
Another spell or skill i'd say i really like in DD2, from the magick archer class is Ricochet Seeker/Hunter. I can clean a cave (big monsters included) without even setting foot in it👌
I dunno, both versions of each spell were pretty well done in their own way. There's a certain consistency between games yet each has their own flavor.
Camera movement when casting spell make it even cooler
Lol ❤ btw insane music just perfect for this showcase
The camera angles really singlehandedly made maelstrom better in ddda
This was literally the selling point for me for DDDA i was unfortunately very late to the game, but those spells are awesome.
It actually took me years to see some of these magic animations because I refused to play a mage in DDDA.
man that's so cool, can you do a comparison video for mystic knight?
2012 animations >
bro why did the original tornado look like a fucking wacky waving inflatable arm tube man?
There was a pawn called, “smallpp” from DD1 clip
If only I can manually target my Maelstrom, the most fun thing to me in DD1 is use it on unaware enemies from afar or below or inside/outside the room
Both are epic, but its true that the camera movement to add power to the moment is much better in DD1
All these spells make for great screen captures.
The Twisted force of baldurs gate 3 got me.
I feel high bolide is better than meteoron in animation and execution, cause with bolide you don’t really have to aim it’ll auto aim, and the animation where you swing the staff feels more purposeful and the camera looking up to where the fireballs launch up to is just really cool.
In game 2 meteor showcase the character didn't look at the sky so cant tell by the video how they truly compare.
I dont know if there's high or grand versions in 2 but I assume maelstrom would looks bigger
As a Great Sword only Warrior, I really hated golems until my Sorc pawn learned Meteoron. I just wish she'd cast it faraway like I always teach her, cause for no reason she just starts casting it under the guy's legs.
even casting the spell takes longer than the game to finish
I wish the tornado behaved the same. and can you still the twinkle in the sky with the meteors?
Monsters: ☠️
Trees: 🗿
1:11 Oh hey, the new Twisters movie came out.
"these spell animations take 12 years to cast"
I think Kratos must've grown tired being a God of War. Now it looks like he's after the seneschal! 0:32
Found a ring that would turn Gicel and Bolide from High to Grand and My main pawn would call forth its power even in the smallest of enemy it can find
Cant blame her, its cool af.
Maelstrom is my favorite spell but i hate it because its a huge bitch when enemies cast it
Its either keep on healing as your bpuncing up and down, or wait till you hit the ground, and decide whether you wanna go back to last save or use a wakestone
Why not use your wakestone? Better start running, or youre gonna be RIGHT BACK IN THE FUCKIN TORNADO
Spell? Which spell? I think I got distracted....
Eh. The first one also has high versions of those spells, which isnt shown in the video and do look more impressive than their base versions.
Heck, you can get grand versions of bolide and seism too. (Gicel and fulmination also, but sadly they're removed.)
wow, now that's a meteor shower!
I had no idea Dragon's Dogma has such amazing spells. Probably because I never care to play mage. 😕
Ah yes, medieval air strikes...
Damn, I just realized I never played a mage build in DDDA. You just gave me a new reason to play the game.
The older footage is not from Dragons Dogma. Its Dragons Dogma online. The shortlived MMO. Great game but looks totally different. Online has a bit of anime style sprinkled in. You can really tell with the character animations. They are a bit more flashy and poppy. Hard to explain but easy to see.
Are you really sure? The mage and sorcerer gameplay is quite different from Dragon Dogma Online....
Also it's quite obvious this is Dragon Dogma UI, and that look like cassardis beach.
Actually if you look even even closer you can see it’s neither but it’s actually Dark Souls. Very easy to miss.
I guessnif imbbeing honest im not positive. But something about the color to me. Idk seems a little tpp vibramt, idk either way. @Fralite
Dragon's Dogma 2 was really amazing.
Once.
Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen is still really amazing, having beaten it 10 times already.
Oooh when I get done casting you're going to be in so much trouble!
I just feel like they didnt put any love into DD2
What is your point? Both games did marvelous with the attack animations. DD2 is absolutely worthy successor. The game is like those awesome CGI mobile games ads but turned into an actual gameplay.
give DD2 12 years and maybe, just maybe, it'll run as well as DD1 does.
I like the look of old Maelstrom better, tbh it looks a lot like a water spout and I got to see one of those IRL and that shit was cool.
It was really far away but still neat as hell. The big new hurricane thing in the new animation looks less interesting to me.
The camera is better in Dragon's dogma
