This or the first game has more content?

First one by far. Spend well over 200 hours blind thanks to Everfall and BBI.

This one definitely has more content. The main story I would say is comparable in length from what I recall but there is much more side content with MUCH more to discover if you like exploring. The first game only had one major city and one small village and one environment whereas DD2 has several small towns as well as forests, a large desert and a volcanic island. The one thing I found lacking in comparison however was the lack of distinct/interesting locations. DD1/DA had far more unique and memorable locations.

The first game has more endgame content.

This game has more free world content.

The first game and the 2nd game are equally easy without the end game content (Hence the complaints.)

Seems like more than first on release... kind of?
But definitely less after all additions, pathes, etc. Much less than Dark Arisen for now.

I am surprised we don't have something like Ur Dragon here. Really disappointed.

Fingers crossed something like Ur Dragon and Bitterblack Isle will be added later.

Depends on what we call the first game.

Dragons Dogma was a lot smaller before the Dark Arisen expansion.
DDII is closer to DD pre Dark Arisen

Is there any chance they will give the game contect updates?

100%.

They likely didn't make this with the intent on not updating it.

The first game got a few quest packs and one massive expansion.

The first game has a DLC that added a lot of content. It was released the year after.

we don't have a crystal ball so for all we know capcom will drop support tomorrow and itsuno will flee into the woods. but we can make a reasonable guess it'll get performance (fps improvements) and small gameplay adjustments (99 recustomization books, up from 3).

considering DD was at one point a well-supported MMO which got sh!tcanned and they made the second game, we can probably expect some content to come into the game free like how MH adds monsters, but that's my least confident (note: not necessary unlikely) prediction

we can also reasonably expect an expansion like Dark Arisen to come in 6months or more

First has higher quality content, this has more content but of lower quality save for big enemies, where it inverts. First has a better post-Dragon experience as well. This is not factoring in the Dark Arisen stuff and the extra modes of course, if you include those DD1 is just straight up better than DD2 in both quality and quantity.

According to leaks there's a "Tale of the Dragon Princess" DLC coming in 6-7 months after release that'll act as this game's BBI / Dark Arisen content.

DD1 is one of my favorite games but I don't get the rose tinted glasses regarding the game. The reason why the game didn't reach wider audiences was because of its low quality, rushed development and literally half the game missing.

If you remove BBI, the base game is very small, the enemy variety was far worse and the signature large enemies the game was known for were barely in the game. It was like a single griffon, hydra and cockatrice; 1 spawn location for a drake, 2 spawns for a golem, 3 for chimeras, 2 for ogres and a handful of cyclopses. That was the entire map.

More basic enemy variety with more varied tactics and weaknesses. More large enemy types even if there's overlap, you're actually given time to explore the harder, completely changed world, six skill slots instead of four with more useful skills to compete over those slots (except for Warrior, F), more spell variety, more gear and fashion variety, better (English) voice acting, better character creator which produces much more varied results while retaining good looks (which leads to wider diversity and variety of online pawns), higher variation in height and weight due to char creator leads to more gameplay variation and depth, more in-depth gearing with more slots to manage resistances and such with allowing for more player choice, far better music, better SFX, actually having a dark fantasy artstyle instead of "muh realism" wankery, more interesting personal quests for the characters that do have them. There's a lot of reasons besides just the monsters I say that DD1 is of higher quality.
