I finished Dragon's dogma a few weeks ago, and I kept thinking about how much I wanted to play it again, so I started up new game + yesterday. I've nearly levelled up all of the classes to max rank, I'm on Mystic Knight now which is my last one, I loved playing as a sorceror, But i miss the mobility of an assassin, so once I've maxed this out, i'll probably go back to that. Now that i've seen the ending, I won't be in such a rush at the end and i'll be able to spend more time exploring and gathering materials.
I also spend the first few hours setting up a network of portcrystals, you can buy them for 200,000 GP from the forger's in gran soren, I have like 7 of the things set up at all the major areas of the game that aren't really easy to get to from gran soren, And a few just for convenience, like one right outside cassardis. By this point, I have so much money that the price of ferrystones is pretty much negligable. It makes the escort missions so much easier, too. "Oh, you need to go to the shadowfort?" *Throws ferrystone, mission complete*
