Topic: Atlus Etrian Odyssey III

Anybody else excited? Get your preorders in quick for all the extras as well

Looks gorgeous. The trailer makes it look more exciting than it probably is, haha. I'm eager to find out if they've done anything to make this one more accessible. I know fans want it to stay challenging, but I'd be so happy if they made some difficulty options for those who aren't as good at this kind of game. It's weird, but this is almost the perfect form of RPG for me, but every example of the subgenre is much, much too hard for me! How very sad.

These are very hard games and yes I put in my preorder a couple of weeks ago now. Now if I can ever get through the second one ill be happy. Love a challenge but yeah atlus games are hardcore only apply.

Glad to see a few here are as excited as I am for this one. Im trying to finish up Super Robot Taisen OG Saga but I doubt Ill have it finished by launch as Move is also coming next week, so Ill be a little late getting to this one, but I really cant wait. I might have to pull a real dont do and play this and SRT at the same time

@Adam.... from the many videos Ive watched so far, they are making it some more accessibe, but not much, as they would loose there fanbase if they did more than likely.

Wow, these game looks very.... great, different, hard, amazing!!! If NL give it a good review, im probably gonna get it.

Hopefully they will post a review for it soon after the release cus its going to be a long game for sure. Maybe someone is playing it right now!

Difficulty options are optional, Slapshot. There's no reason they'd lose their fan base over that. Just tossing in an easy mode for wimps like me shouldn't be a problem. Not sure why they haven't done this already, really.

very much looking forward to this game

@ Adam... i agree. I was thinking more on the lines of balancing and not difficulty settings lol. I too wouldn't mind a easier mode. Over the last year I've been playing on the normal modes instead of higher and finding myself having much much more fun. Guess becoming on old worn out hardcore gamer isn't too bad is it?

Just downloaded a g4 app to my phone and read the review of this game and now am more excited to play this. It got a 4 out of 5 and had 3 vids to show off. It's looking to be the most accessible of the three games for new comers. From what they said you can get some fairly powerful players right off the bat and will be able to heal your party without using skill points to stay in the dungeons longer. That's a relief cus you always had to have at least one healer in your party to get far into any dungeon. Less then one week now and the preorder bonus is well worth it!

Wow, I can't believe that this game is almost here! This is one of the games that I have been looking forward to playing the most this year. I'm really excited to try out the all new character classes. This game is selling pretty well on Amazon and the Nintendo Channel has a bunch of gameplay videos for it. I'm really psyched for it! Can't wait!

Pre-ordered. Must have that artbook.

Just a few more months until it's mine.

yeah it looks interesting.

Very minor bump... it's out.

I've been playing it constantly the past week, and it's definitely the most accessible of the three. No way in hell does that mean "easy," however! Excellent as usual, and all the new classes are really interesting.

A few of us have been talking about this on the atlus fan club thread. I agree with you on your comments 100 percent. I had to run out of the stratum on after my first fight to sleep!
