If it does have a touch screen, holding it vertically to do mapping could work just fine based on how the controllers look. It would be unusual to have a new tablet-like device without some sort of touch screen these days. But I'm not sure how that'd be compatible with docking to a TV, though.

This is how I feel. I think they can incorporate mapping without a stylus/dedicated touch screen if they're clever.
Yea I know that feel my man.
I'm actually playing Etrian Odyssey IV (maybe three or four hours). I bought it almost a year or less but until recently I want to play it.
I am not unfamiliar about what I can expect from this game, beause my favorite videogame series is Shin Megami Tensei, and I have a appeal to the first-person ones, but this game is hard... and I love it.
I still struggle to understand the mechanics and how to choose the skills/parties, but the rewarding feel when you explore the dungeons and be capable of survive the enemies attack is something I needed from a game.
The music is nice. I was reading about how they changed the music for this game, so I will listen the music from the other games

Bruh where's that announcement for EOV then? charge fucking 100$ but localize it lol.
Eh... I'd probably still buy it, I'm a sucker aren't I?
I just finished the original Etrian Odyssey on DS. It's the game I've owned the longest that I never completed.
I'm curious to see what kind of improvements they've made to later iterations of the series. I would really enjoy a quick save option. I don't know if I'll be able to catch up on the series as they are already remaking the original games now. There's something about the methodical nature of the game that I enjoy so I want to continue with the series at a later date.

EO:IV and Untold 2 are both way easier to get into than the first game on the original DS and have a bunch of quality of life improvements. I'd recommend either of those.
The games are not connected storywise so you can just get the latest game and try it out. There has been a lot of improvements since the first game.

The thread lives again?
Not for long it would seem.
Glad that you started with the right game.
I'd personally suggest to play III next, since there's no news of it getting a remake yet, so until then it might be hard to get back to it after having experienced the improvements of IV and the Untold games.

I don't think we can use the little ones as weapons. That would make a neat party though...

Lol p5 delayed for EOV. The greater good. Believe.
Ha. If anything, this will obviously push EOV's localization even further back.
It's like people had been saying: Atlus USA has gotten a whole lot on their plate with their own titles and Sega's to handle, and it's only been increasing localization gaps more and more. The important part is that today, it was stated that Atlus USA has been notably upping their production staff for Persona 5, so this could carry over positively for future titles as well.

Way to crush my heart =(
I wonder what's the lifespan of 3DS games after the Switch though. Releasing after March kinda sucks.
Yeah, like Persona 6.
You mean Persona Q2
tbh I want a Devil Survivor 3 or a Digital Devil Saga 3. sumthin' like that

I really liked 7th dragon but would take EOV over it and all future yakuza games combined. Wasting atlus usa staff on sega stuff smh.
i know i know
Untold in Classic mode is basically the original game but with improvements. Unless you want to go back and experience the original, I would suggest playing Untold.

Its pretty cool when game companies do those sorts of countdown colabs with other artists.

Okay, so does it tell you when you finish the map of a floor, or is there any way to know how close you are?
I've been through B2F multiple times and I can't seem to get it complete..
Do spaces with treasure chests or inanimate boulders on them count as spaces on the map?
Do I have to get past the white crystal to finish it? I didn't need to on the first floor...

Unlike Persona Q there's no tell if you've finished a map. And there's no real reason to fully complete a map except for completionist's sake. The only reason why there is a map completion thing on the 1st floor is because it's a tutorial quest to teach people about mapmaking.
Also yes the crystal doors are part of the floor.
Really? I think I misunderstood a tutorial thing then...
I thought that finishing the map allowed you to warp to the staircase.
Thanks, now I can stop worrying about it.
Though you do need to complete a certain amount of the map in order to unlock the stair warp, you'll almost certainly have enough mapped to get that unlock by the time you reach those stairs just by going through the labyrinth normally. You don't need to map every square of the whole floor.

Why wouldn't you aim to make the most perfect map possible though? Thats like half the fun.
