Wow, there are people that complain about Etrian Odyssey having too much story.
...Fascinating.

so the only one of the 3 I would care about is the only one not getting english acting. Meh, guess I can put the 3DS to bed.

Not really, it's more that the style has changed. Personally I much prefer the original one, probably enough to not pick this one up.
I don't have played the game, but her original design was so cool (and short haired girls are not so common):

I'd say low but after Mystery Dungeon 2 comes out it'd likely be the next announcement so we'll know within a year or so.
Or just play classic mode, which is included.

Absolutely in for Strange Journey and Radiant Historia.
I've only ever played Etrian 2. Maybe it's time to revisit the series?

Absolutely- grab EOIV while you're waiting

Nice.

It's been too long, I thought I remembered her using bows..
I might be confusing her with Natalia from Tales of the Abyss

That sounds logical. Let's hope it still comes. It would be such a shame to have all EO games on the 3DS except for 3.
Yeeeessss!!!
New thread worthy? Or title change?
Physical and digital too. Great stuff, I was expecting uncertainty until at least Autumn.
This sums up what being a Megaten fan nowadays feels like quite well.

SMTIV sold like over a million copies worldwide, so I kind of doubt RH or EOV will match mainline SMT in sales, but that person can carry on living in fantasy cuckoo land all they like.
Similar here, which is strange because Strange Journey is one of my favorite games of all time.
I just feel like every change in this version is missing the point entirely. Not just the artwork.
Totally in on EOV though.
SMT4's sales numbers are nowhere near a million. Last I remember it was around 100k in the US and maybe 250k-300k in Japan? I doubt the rest of the world adds another 600k on top of that. Hopefully someone can clarify with actual numbers.
From what I remember it also did rather well for an SMT game (maybe because of the special deal in combination with Fire Emblem?), so I'm sure the numbers for Strange Journey are quite a bit lower.
Such a quick announcement for Europe, very pleased to hear that, thanks Deep Silver!
Now I don't have to spend months agonizing over these wondering if they'll come to Europe. Hopefully this also means they won't be far off from the NA release dates. Maybe even 2017 for EOV? Please?
They're also confirming Physical and Digital as well as Fall 2017 for EOV, happy days!

Can anyone outline the changes made to SJ? I'm currently in the middle of playing it on DS, and I'd love to continue doing so if the 3DS port doesn't seem definitively superior.
Atlus hasn't revealed that much outside of what's immediately apparent via trailers, but we know this so far:
-Added demons not present in the original
-New character, Alex, who seems to come with a completely new scenario and ending tied to her
-The game has been remade in what seems to be the SMT4 engine, but retaining its first person view
-All story events are voiced (not in english though)
-Redone art, including portraits for non plot relevant NPCs
If anyone knows other details feel free to add them. I've read a couple of people saying they're adding save everywhere, but I haven't seen any official info about it.
Now that's a good news.
nice

+ Save anywhere
+ Difficulty options
+ What looks like event illustrations (although this could just be the OP used in screens/trailers)
+ New music
+ New skills
Save anywhere was talked about during the reveal stream and on the official website.
Any reworks to the mechanics like the demon alignment system or how skill passed down?
Of course it's optional. You simply don't save when you don't want to.

There was something about "new growth options," but I don't think either of those things have been discussed in detail.
In the original, demon alignment was indicated by name colour, and the same is true for what we've seen of DSJ, so that system is still in at least.
That option is available as DLC.

This is merely speculation, but it doesn't look like the Etrian Odyssey IV engine, and the dungeons seem to have this particular lighting that's reminiscent of SMT4. Not to mention the UI is nearly identical in places.
My mobile browser is stupid and I can't get image URLs, but check out some examples in this gallery http://www.siliconera.com/2017/04/0...rney-shows-new-character-alex-new-demon-amon/

Yes the UI looks very similar to SMTIV, but the actual dungeon don't look that much better than the original DS version. Dunno...I did kinda hope the texture, lighting and details of the environment woulda been improved.
I'll agree that it doesn't look too impressive on screenshots, but I think you're underestimating how bad the visuals in OG SJ hold up haha. This is a massive improvement in my eyes, and I expect it to look better in person like most 3DS games.
Hopefully they'll release some dungeon crawling gameplay video soon, I need to see it in motion.

I basically agree with you, but I thought EOV was a return to that style of immersive make-your-own-story dungeon crawling? And voice acting choices are just for their in-battle grunts and stuff from what I've seen. I'll probably turn them off anyways, I'm not a big fan of voice acting in games.
Is that the case for the oversea release? Think I recall that the original art was part of the limited edition for the JP release.

Just heard the eu confirmation so can allow myself to get excited for radiant and strange journey. Still disappointed about the redesigns for historia but think I will manage fine either way.
Yes, the original portraits (for the main characters) is available as DLC in the Japanese limited edition of the game (to be sold separately later on as well).
As is the norm, this DLC will likely be released separately in the West as well.
