So. I play the demo to this, put it down, some time passes, and then I realize that I'm several hours into Etrian Odyssey III.

Looks like I've caught the bug again.

@Ralizah: I think one a year or year in a half is good. Most agreed Untold was too soon after EOIV and although I got it only played the demo parts of it. Now playing this demo makes me want EOV all the more. Have we had anymore info on that yet like which system yet?

I think I'll fire up this demo tonight.

@Spoony_tech I completely dropped the ball and missed the sale on Persona Q...ugh!

@MERG: No biggie, maybe by the time the next sale comes around I'll be ready to play it. I do want to load it up at some point here to check it out. It is suppose to be a really good game.

@Spoony_Tech: I definitely want to play it...but when I think about it, I don't have a heck of a lot of time to commit to it. I think I will get Shadow Wars with the Ubi sale as I've never played it.

@Spoony_Tech: Atlus doesn't usually stop developing for a system when a new one comes out, so even if it releases after the next Nintendo handheld drops (which I doubt), I think EOV would still be a 3DS release, even if it is the company's swansong on the hardware. Especially considering its large install base.

I just hope that EOV is untainted by this story mode stuff Atlus seems so focused on now with its Etrian games. I wonder if it is trying to pave the way for EOV being a more traditional JRPG in terms of the narrative and lack of player choice?

EOIV is a magnificent game, and definitely the best entry in the series thus far. Narrative is present without being intrusive, the ost is probably the best in the series, the variety of environments is pretty big, and the airship exploration feels like a more fleshed-out realization of the boat side-quests in The Drowned City. I hope Atlus does something innovative and risky to top it.

@MERG: Well don't think for one second Shadow Wars is short lol. I've spent well over 40 hours on it and still haven't completed it but I did start over at some point.

@Ralizah I know but I always worry when a game is teased and not announced for a system yet. I'm also almost positive it will have a story mode, why else would they be doing all these untolds. I just hope they build more off of the overworld we got in the last one and still offer both ways to play the game. I think the overworld in the last game definitely made it the definitive version to play. Hopefully they don't go backwards from there.

Oh and I agree, the story we got wasn't realized till far later in the game but what was there was actually good. I shiver to think that will be gone for good going forward.

@Spoony_Tech: I wonder if it'll take a similar approach to the Untold games and split it into two modes?

I have to say, though, while I do love the older Etrian Odyssey games, they do have the most horrendously arranged skill trees. It'll be nice to play another modern entry in the series with a nicely laid out skill tree that let's you see exactly what you need to do to unlock certain abilities.

Also, even as far up as EO3, the map tools suck. I'm also getting spoiled by the nice array of map icons in the newer games.

@Ralizah: EOIV did just about everything right. When that came out I went back to EO3 and it just didn't look as good as I thought it did when I last played it. I'm glad thought they combined the sea style over world with the main game. When we first learned of it I wasn't sure about it but when they basically made the over world another giant puzzle to travel it all fit together so well. EOV will be the one game I would most likely break down and pay 50$ for because I love the series too much to wait for.

I certainly hope so. Story Mode just doesn't feel right in EO, if you ask me...I like that I can turn it off.

@Morpheel: Yeah no, the story was little more then window dressing just like the 3 before it. I will admit it was the best story of the 4 mains released this far though. With the untold versions they're trying to appeal to all those people that complained that they wanted more of a story since it's an rpg. These younger people expect a story in any rpg and not just bare bones. They don't know classic game style of it hit them in the face. I get/got my enjoyment up to this point exploring and fighting which is the strong points of the game. Most vets like above will ignore the story anyways. I want to play story mode of only because I beat the original and played about 80% of the way through the second one.

@Spoony_Tech:

I played the whole demo, and I'm pretty sure I didn't see an Evangelion...

What part are you talking about, in particular
