Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection Is Looking Slick In New Gameplay Trailer

Already ordered the physical ♡♡

I do have some curiosity about these but between the absurd pricing and them being Atlus games and thus being on sale within a couple of months anyway don't really see any reason to bother with them at launch.

@Lizuka I'm not super stoked about the pricing - but I wouldn't call it "absurd". It isn't easy or cheap to find these games. Then you have to have the system to play it. EO's are long, involved games if you play them as originally designed. There are a lot of hours in these things.

So if you want to play these games on the Switch - this is an affordable option.

Ffs… another game to add to the pile! How much will this be priced at? I just got the MM Battle Network Legacy collection and that was fairly steep, hopefully this is cheaper (even slightly would be nice)

I'll be waiting for a discount. If they were the ones on 3DS I'd be way more tempted to get them on release.

I think the pricing is a mistake.

Nonetheless, anyone who hasn't experienced this series should bite when they feel comfortable with the price. I know Persona is the popular kid at Atlus High, but Etrian Odyssey is one of their most consistently excellent series, and arguably the peak of the DRPG subgenre overall. The sense of adventure and mystery in these games is potent.

@BenAV I would've order the physical if it has the EN language option.

They do look very good. I notice they've actually improved some really subtle things, such as the skill trees, which are much more like the ones from the "Untold" games. I really, really hope they give you more skill points than the original games, as there were some builds where you couldn't max out all the skills you needed. I know you're not meant to be able to learn every skill, but it literally did need one or two more points for each character. Other than that, I much preferred how the originals were balanced and I'm looking forward to these remakes.

@DanijoEX the physical does have the English option. That's why I ordered it. It's at play-asia

These games are BRUTALLY difficult at times (get ready to grind or be taken out with 2 swipes) but soooooo good. I'm going take the official @Emmerichcoal route and preorder from Play Asia. I want this physically!

Any idea if these will contain the "untold" versions of 1&2? I would love to get them if they did, but not going to rush out if they don't.

Before I clink, anyone know how much they are charging to watch the trailer? I mean, it's really 3 trailers in 1 after all, so we shouldn't complain about having to pay for the extra "content".

@Wexter No these are HD versions of the originals. Not the untold entries.

@Wexter They are the DS version, not the untold remakes.

I'll wait for them to be under 30 bucks.

@Wexter they're not the untold versions.

lol, I was wondering if they were going to add an automap. Drawing the map without a touch screen sounds like a really bad time.

@Asaki You are in luck. The Switch has touch screen capability. And Etrian Odyssey is using it.

play-asia ftw. physical 4 life.

Between this, the Pixel Remasters, Baten Kaitos which has yet to get a release date, and Advance Wars?

This will be the year of reliving classics for me.

And all while spending untold amounts of hours on XIV because that is my new obsession.

Oh, and Xenoblade 3 DLC? I finally have stuff to play again.

"with the first game receiving its own "reimagining" in 2013 for the 3DS with Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl."
And the Second game got what I think is a similar reimagining. In fact, of the numbered entries, I only don't own a version of EO III. Which is why that's the only one I have my eye on.

@Cashews I mean sort of, but good luck drawing a map with a capacitive screen, especially in docked mode.

That's why they added automap.

@Asaki yeh docked mode not great.

@fenlix @Emmerichcoal @Ryu_Niiyama thanks everyone! Really disappointed as I loved the two Untold games on 3DS... I prefer them over the regular choose your own adventure protagonists of the other games... Will still gives this a go, but I have Labyrinth of Galleria to keep me busy till I get these later.
