That statement was clarified to mean only Japan.

Ah, shite. Oh, well - here's hoping it gets picked up by someone for EU...

 

[StuBurns]

It's a PS2 port. You can buy Gravity Daze for less than that in Japan.

The fact it's a PS2 game only matters to people who've already played it, otherwise it's just another PSV game, it's also the highest rated RPG on PS2, it's quality is established, GD was a new thing.

I think it's a fair price.

YES

now in 3D!

 

[PixyJunket]

Welp, this was one of the (many) reasons I bought my 3DS, so I'm hyped as one could be to finally see this confirmed.

Now, Atlus USA must do their part.

Does not compute.

 

[Ridley327]

Does not compute.

They really liked seeing Peach in a one-piece.

 

[Khrno]

Give Europe another chance. It's a new system. People will buy anything, you hear, Atlus?

Ghostlight could pick it up.

 

[7threst]

Etrian Odyssey IV. That's all you had to say! Awesome!!

I love that song and it gets better every time I hear it but why the hell did I click on the katy perry cover?!?! So goddamn awful.

 

[DCharlie]

Mario & Sonic at London Olympics (3DS): 9, 8, 9, 8

... i'm guessing this is already reviewed in the west but the Japanese adverts make this look like good old fashioned fun.

Anyone with the game already care to comment?

 

[7threst]

Is it weird to not care much for EO series, but still enjoy the Wizardry and 7th Dragon games?
I should like EO, but for some reason, I just couldn't get into 1 or 2.

Maybe this sounds weird, but definitely give EO III a try. For me thaat one felt pretty different compared to the first two games.

 

[DCharlie]

Also note - that persona price - that better be the price of the physical game and that better come with more than the bog standard packaging that Vita games get because , as stated already, handheld game prices in Japan are already getting way too high as it is.

If it's that price with some nice extras then, fine. If it's that price and it's a one page manual and a card in the box then #shakefist.

 

[Dark Schala]

Does not compute.

The soundtrack's good.
Flying Battery Zone Remix
SMB Underwater Remix
Gusty Garden Galaxy remix
SMW Overworld Remix

Honest answer: I dunno, man.

 

[nincompoop]

YEAHH

 

[LOCK]

This in 3D may be orgasmic....

Doesn't look like it. You can pay even more for the Famitsu DX pack.

ETRIAN ODYSSEY 4.

Today is a good day.

why... why haven't I heard of this before?!

Hey, who wouldn't? =p

The Vita and 3DS are just being monsters this year. Seriously, I don't know how I'm going to find the time for them.

 

[Worthintendo]

I've only played alittle of the Etrian Oddysey games, I own 1 and 3 but havent played alot of them but my god I've been waiting for a 3DS one, that game is going to look amazing on the 3DS, can hardly wait.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Hopefully we get Persona 4 by fall on the US Vita.

 

[Mr.LightMan]

So it's going to have a casual mode eh, and the can't wait to see the new classes. Nightseeker and Rune master.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

It's like buying food just too look at. Some people have messed up priorities like that but their money's just as legal tender.

 

[Man God]

It could've probably used a hardcore mode to go along with it, but I'm sure that normal will still have plenty of challenges.

 

[Versipellis]

EOIV... Let's see if they show something during Nintendo Direct.

Casual mode? Maybe it just has full automapping or something like that?

 

[Wiseblade]

Etrian Odyssey IV!


I have no idea why I'm getting excited when there's no chance of it coming to EU though...

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

EOIV! Just in time for 3DS redesign, I hope!

 

[vareon]

But I've only reached the 4th stratum in EOIII!

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

It could've probably used a hardcore mode to go along with it, but I'm sure that normal will still have plenty of challenges.

Regular EO IS Hardcore mode! :lol

I'll laugh if "casual" mode still has pants-shitting FOE terror and squirrels stealing warp wires/etc at rare intervals. hehehe

 

[Man God]

It can always get harder.

I'd love permadeath for example.

 

[Mr.LightMan]

It can always get harder.

I'd love permadeath for example.

Hahahaha! So make a new character every 10 or so minutes?

 

[angelfly]

It can always get harder.

I'd love permadeath for example.

Don't give them any ideas.

Persona 4 Vita - June 14th'

The more reason why SCE gets their ass together and whoop 1st parties' asses. Too long.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I don't own the game but the demo was a lot better than I was expecting. I wouldn't buy it but I think it would be great for a kid.

 

[jorgeton]

EO4 = day made.
All I need to do now is buy a 3DS.

 

[DCharlie]

I wouldn't buy it but I think it would be great for a kid.

well, that was part of my thinking - plus 4 players off one cart = win.

cool.

 

[scy]

It could've probably used a hardcore mode to go along with it, but I'm sure that normal will still have plenty of challenges.

I've been asking for a hardcore mode since EO1 and here I get a Casual Mode instead.

Massively sad

 

[Pureauthor]

Maybe Casual Mode means they'll feel free to crank up Normal Mode's difficulty.

 

[goldenticket]

Etrian Oddysey IV is a system seller for me once it comes out in the US ill buy a 3DS. Great news

 

[scy]

Maybe Casual Mode means they'll feel free to crank up Normal Mode's difficulty.

More or less doubt it. I've come to accept that I'm probably not their target demographic for difficulty.

 

[mclem]

now in 3D!

Correction:

Now in 3 D - F O E

It scans *perfectly* as a line from that. Clearly this means they need to do a 3DS remix of the song.

 

[Hasemo]

Awesome, but I was expecting P4 to hit much earlier - March-April or something.

 

[Augemitbutter]

EOIV day one

Spoiler

don't bring back the boring class system from III.

casual mode this time? nooooooooooo

 

[duckroll]

Hmmm... EO4. I wonder if I'll actually play it this time. The director of EO4 this time is the guy who directed Trauma Center: Second Opinion, and Trauma Center: New Blood. The music and design staff are mostly the same as the previous 3 games, with the exception of Nizou Yamamoto, who's the art director this time. He's a really well known art director/background artist who has worked on many major Ghibli movies in the past, as well as Hosoda's Girl Who Leaped Through Time movie more recently.

 

[Femmeworth]

While they're at it, they need to release an Etrian Oddysey compilation for the 3DS. I wasn't able to get the third game before it was out of print.

Daisuke Kanada was Hashino's right hand man on his RPGs from Nocturne to Persona before moving to the Trauma Wii games though, I'm pretty excited about this change.

 

[Kyoufu]

That's a lot of yen for P4G...

 

[SecretMoblin]

Neat idea (think of how many game hours would be inside that package), but the best we can probably hope for is yet another sequel if EOIV does well. I'm still kind of amazed that three games were made, all three were published in North America, and the fanbase is still as active as ever. Given the very tepid response to Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls, it would be easy to dismiss the fanbase for these kinds of games as too small and not worth the time/effort.
