Currently: Games Audio Engineer, you didn't hear what I heard, you heard what I wanted you to hear.
No actual information on a Dragon's Dogma Online release for the west.
That said, after playing the Japanese version, if Dragon's Dogma Online comes west, I'll be at the opening bell. FluffyQuack did a youtube video with battle scenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v-j85Ty4pk (he has quite a few videos on the game). I don't know if it should be called a full blown MMO though, as it's more like a co-op.
But then again, it wouldn't be the first time Capcom has screwed up massively while handling an IP. If they would bring the online version over here, then create a sequel (maybe a hybrid of online / offline) which addresses the shortcomings of the original game (Dark Arisen does address some already), and I'm fairly certain they'd make a ton of cash.
Sadly, I won't be buying the game for a while. One, it comes out a few weeks before Rise of the Tomb Raider, and as a huge fan of the first installment (and the original trilogy), the sequel is a must-buy. Two, I don't trust the port, and want to make sure it doesn't suck like those of some recent games (Fallout 4, Dragon Quest Heroes, and to some extent Witcher 3). I'm done paying top dollar for shit ports. Only reason I'm buying RotTR day 1 is because the same people are behind it as the first one, and it was well done on PC.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

And what "port" are you refering to with the Witcher 3? So the console port was bad? As The Witcher games were only pc til they started porting to the console.

The last dungeon is pretty hard, but it was originally sold as an expansion and it is again amazing- atmospheric, dark, dangerous. An mmo gamer or someone who likes Darksouls games would have no problem with it (I don't think its as hard as DarkSouls games by any stretch).
What I liked about it:
There is a real sense of danger. You and your party (although you can play solo if you want) adventure around and you need to actually prepare for the adventure. If you get caught out at night it is dark and scary. You will need a torch or some magic to see and dangerous monsters will come and get you.
The environment matters. If you are in a dark cave fighting just by the light of your torch and you fall in a underground river/pond/lake or go through a waterfall your torch will go out you will become drenched and the subterranean beasts will eat you. If you throw a flask of oil on something then shoot fire on it ... boom. Falling too far hurts, but picking up an enemy and hurling it over a cliff never gets old.
Combat is epic. The animations, the abilities, the way everything fits together, its my favorite combat system. Magic users cast devastating spells, summoning tornadoes and huge spikes of ice, calling down fiery meteors- but it takes time to cast such powerful spells. You can climb monsters and stab them in weak spots or cut off their armor, you can focus fire a certain part of a monster- like an ogre's leg so that it stumbles, or the wings of a griffin so it can't fly away. Archery is awesome- not has hard as something like Mount and Blade, but perhaps more satisfying.
Monster AI. The mobs can be pretty smart. You will get ambushed, stomped on, poisoned, put on fire, chased, run away from.
Amazing and strategic battles. On top of the awesome combat system and solid AI, some of the bigger battles are deeply strategic, and offer a host of possibilities of how to go about achieving victory. The scale of some are also great, from massive bosses to waves of mobs (and massive bosses).
Open ended. The first time I played through I just went around exploring, I didn't progress through the main quest much at all. Just walking around you'll find caves, encounter hideous beasts, bandits, castles, adventure. Its not as open ended as Skyrim and the world is much smaller; I would love to see what they could do with today's tech.
Story. The story is actually pretty interesting, it seems to take a back seat most of the time but is good enough once you get into it.
It might be just nostalgia, but I remember it as one of the best and most enjoyable rpgs I have ever played. Looking forward to getting into it again on the 16th.
