Dragon's Dogma 2 + Next Gen = LESSDODISSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
“So, when the discussion came up for Devil May Cry 5, I went to Kenzo [Kenzo Tsujimoto, Capcom founder] and I said… look, I want to make either Devil May Cry 5 or Dragon’s Dogma 2 next,” Itsuno told VG247 through a translator as part of a Devil May Cry 5 media tour. “He said ‘okay, do whatever you want. Do whichever one you want.’ So I thought, alright, y’know what… let’s do DMC5. So we did that.”
“I’ve always got maybe around four different titles in mind, maybe about four different ideas that I’d love to make. But there’s a difference between the titles that I’d love to make and the titles that I think I should make next. But here we are, we’re here, and… I’m already gearing up for my next project. We can’t say what it is, but we’re looking forward to getting to work on it.”
“Here we are – we’re now finishing up DMC5. But I had ideas for Dragon’s Dogma 2 at the time as well. So here we are, it’s the end of this project.” Itsuno grins.

He goes on to say that he regards it as his most successful project. “The one that was kind of the biggest success in my mind, the one I’m most proud of – that’s probably Dragon’s Dogma."

Capcom on a roll.
If only Konami and SE were able to take a page off their book.
Konami definitely, but SE? They've been having a great last few years... while I didn't care much for FFXV, a lot of people liked it well enough and it was a massive seller. KH3 has been getting lots of praise, and DQB, Nier: Automata, Octopath, and DQXI are some of my favorite games this gen. They've definitely improved since their awful last gen.
Looks like console gamers will finally get to play some good RPGs.
The Infinity Engine UI is clunky af even with a keyboard and mouse, they're gonna have to drastically change it or else those games will be practically unplayable on console.
