Dragon's Dogma Director Reveals Best Classes for New Players

Hideaki Itsuno, the director behind Dragon's Dogma 2, recently recommended that new players use either the Archer or Thief class and explained his reasoning. However, players looking to jump into the newly released Dragon's Dogma 2 might want to know about its recent controversy.

Itsuno went on to reveal his personal Vocation setup, which consists of the Warfarer Vocation for his protagonist and the Sorceror Vocation for his three pawns. Warfarer and Sorceror are not part of Dragon's Dogma 2's starting Vocations, but can be unlocked by completing certain quests. Initially, players must choose
