Crunchyroll Pre-Order Bundle for Etrian Mystery Dungeon Includes Extra Goodies

€64 is a pretty steep price. Id rather just get it for €40 or so even if it means missing out on some goodies.

Does the soundtrack have a meager 7 tracks like in the special edition of Shin Megami Tensei IV that I regretted paying $50 for? I loved the game, but the artbook was lame and the soundtrack was a joke.

@Funbunz The soundtrack was a joke?The hell?You must have been death while playing it brother.

@TwilightAngel I think he was more complaining about the lack of tracks then anything. I agree it was good just not enough of it.

All this stuff is nice but I just want the game. Whatever happened to 2 options at 2 different prices. Of course this game is the same price but I just want the 40$ game please. No more extras to try to justify 50$ please.

@Funbunz I agree. I know it had to do with picking music from the earlier games as part of the decision, but three of those tracks hardly qualified as music. It didn't help that the west hadn't gotten SMT 1 & 2 at the time. At least the Jakyou Manor music with the real organ was really cool.

I went ahead and got this bundle, just for a change of pace.

@Funbunz The Persona Q soundtrack had only 4 songs on it, which was even worse. The CD was only available in The Wild Cards Special Edition for 80 bucks, so it was VERY disappointing (although it did have the full Maze of Life song, which was cool).
The art book for SMTIV was actually pretty good (in the USA anyways). It was better as a strategy guide than as an artbook.

Lol, out of stock already.

For me it says it 45 dollars with shipping and is still available.

Only the smaller size t-shirt copies are sold out. You can still buy it in Large or X-L. No difference in price.

Was just going to skip out on this game as I haven't played the Etrian Odyssey games before besides the demos and because I still need to finish Sorcery Saga on my Vita and Pokemon Red Mystery Dungeon on my GBA, but this is an insane deal. All the LE stuff PLUS additional stuff? For the same price?

@AVahne: That's all right, I was just curious anyway. I'm a 2XL, so it wouldn't benefit me.

I'm large since I'm a tall teen so it would work out perfectly. Does anyone know how reliable crunchy roll is for merchandise?

The only thing i'm wary of is the mystery items, since it could be anything. Odds are good it's just to clear warehouse stock, but I enjoy grab bag stuff anyway, and wasn't more expensive than the usual pre-order stuff.

@KnightRider666
Ah ok then

@TwilightAngel
Not complaining about quality of the tracks, just quantity. The fact that the game has such amazing music makes me all the more disappointed in the soundtrack length. My favorite tunes aren't even on it.

@omalleycat215
The short "soundtrack" is part of the reason I don't have Persona Q yet. It's not like it costs more to fill a cd with music, I don't understand why they don't include more tracks. And having the art book from SMT IV be a guide was a cool idea, but it didn't help me navigate the confusing mess of an overworld that Tokyo is. I still get lost on my second playthru.
By the way, did you enjoy Persona Q? I've read the game is pretty good even though the cards and soundtrack are kind of lame.

It kind of sounds like they're cleaning out the attic. Here's a bonus PS3 game and a shirt from Halo 2!

@Spoony_Tech they aren't charging extra for this one, actually. Otherwise, this usually just to tempt the early adopters.

The shirt isn't actually an Etrian Odyssey shirt which is really disappointing. I'm thinking about doing this as it's the same price, but at the same time I could still just go pick it up day one and get everything except for the shirt and mystery box. :/

STILL waiting for a PAL release date... :/

@Funbunz I got the PQ wild card edition back in November. The price was most likely for the game case. As for the game, it's good. It is sort of a fanservice game for P3/P4 fans. The gameplay and music are pretty solid. So far, I'm through 3 of the 5 dungeons. The gameplay uses a variant of the press turn system, which means that learning how to exploit the system was a big chunk of the game. The 2 free DLC characters have awesome techniques that can only be used when exploiting the system. Although the 2 characters are relatively low level, I just stuck to using them once I could clear the level requirement. It made the bosses pretty easy. PQ is a grindy game, so it really depends on if you like that sort of thing.
As for SMTIV,the guide really helped me with navigating Tokyo. The complex/ confusing map system exists in SMTIII and SMT:DS:SH, so it is sort of a hallmark of the mainline series. The persona series is ridiculously streamlined mapwise in comparison.

Whelp, got the package. Didn't notice that Mystery Shirt part, so I was expecting a Crunchyroll T-Shirt or a Etrian Odyssey one. It's just a Dying Light shirt.
Also was expecting a cute little phone charm or something for the mystery item. It's just DS shovelware.

@ThomasBW84
Crunchyroll was very deceptive in their advertising/description of this deal. They have "+ FREE DLC" in big letters, but that's just a trick. They gave no downoad codes or anything mentioning the DLC in the package or any of the emails they sent. Like every other time I've gotten a game that included DLC, I expected a card or slip inside with a download code on it.

It turns out, everyone who bought the game fairly early had access to the DLC of 5 quests for free from Atlus - but only for a limited time (still free now in Europe I believe, because of the delayed release). Since I had no reason to think Crunchyroll would purposely deceive people like that, I never thought to check on it until I finally had more time time to play the game just recently. That's when I realized there was no code(s) inside, and when I checked the prices it showed they would cost me $8.50 total.

So, not only was I fooled into believing that they were providing the DLC as part of the bundle, but now I don't get it at all. If they hadn't done this, I would've checked on the prices for the DLC much sooner - and would've realized it was FREE! They literally caused me to miss out on a deal that was available to everyone who got the game...

I plan to contact them and request compensation, but I doubt they'll be willing or able to affect credit on an eShop account, so I don't know what good it'll do.
