The second game in the series is getting the same story and 3D treatment the first game received. Currently subtitled Knight of Fafnir, there has yet to be an American release announced.
A great party never just happens.
If there’s one thing the Etrian Odyssey series requires, it’s time. Even though the games eschew the game clocks we’ve become accustomed to, most people who play through to the end (and beyond) estimate that they spend more than a hundred hours exploring the unforgiving dungeons. If you plow into a game of this scope with only the most basic of parties and expect to stay engaged for that amount of time, you’ll likely give up and walk away. Creating a party with unique tactics and strategies is pivotal to be successful and to have fun with these games since the story is minimal to the point of being a secondary concern.
Atlus will localize their throwback dungeon crawler in early 2013
The title says it all - Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan will be localized for North America and is scheduled to release early next year. While this news is not likely to surprise anyone considering Atlus has localized every game in the franchise thus far, it’s still comforting to have official word from the publisher.
And there was much rejoicing.
Just when we thought we couldn’t get any more deader, Atlus comes out with an announcement that will have Demon’s Souls fans rejoicing. The publisher, who had previously stated that the game’s servers would be going offline at the end of the month has pulled a 180 and declared that North American server support will instead “continue to operate for the foreseeable future.”
This fall, those summoning, socializing, Japanese school days will be playable on the go.
The rabid and vocal fans of the Persona series have something to celebrate this fall with the release of Persona 4 Golden for the PlayStation Vita in North America. Although this announcement isn’t a huge surprise following the original game’s stellar sales, there was a nagging uncertainty until Atlus released official news today. Persona 4 Golden promises to include several additions to the original PlayStation 2 title including new voiceover work, a dungeon rescue feature, new personas, and plenty more.
