I'm expecting voice options; half expecting race options, going by those characters revealed; and thinking maybe custom color palettes.It says the job classes will be brand new and that the character creator has a higher degree of freedom than before. What that actually means... we'll find out soon.
Furage stuff:
1. First-print copy bonus = Preliminary Soundtrack + Limited Edition booklet art book + DLC
2. Arslan = humans, Lunaria = elf, Serian = Beasts, Brany = dwarves
Classes announced: Fencer, Dragoon, Cestus, Reaper, Necromancer, Warlock, Herbalist, Shaman, Hero, "Masurao" (マスラオ ?), Hound.
3. Development is 60% done
Translation please.
Seems like Masurao/益荒男 might be another samurai-like class, in the vein of Ronin and Bushi.Furage stuff:

Actually, the amount of VO is making me wonder how Atlus USA is going to localize the game. 7th Dragon III has Japanese audio only, presumably because it'd be too much for Sega to dub. I mentioned this in the community thread already, but they'd basically be forced to use actors with tons of range to keep the talent pool and VO budget at a manageable size if they don't go the same route.
Character creation has a huge overhaul. 4 races plus gender, customizable colors for hair and eyes as well, 40 plus voices to choose from. Director says he wants more table top rpg style events in dungeons too.
Sounds great, can't wait for this. I've been hooked on EO since the first game.Character creation has a huge overhaul. 4 races plus gender, customizable colors for hair and eyes as well, 40 plus voices to choose from. Director says he wants more table top rpg style events in dungeons too.
Untold 1 and 2's English releases never had to deal with more than 20 characters, only five of which were huge parts of the story. V has 40 voices, just for the player characters, on top of however many NPCs there are.They already did EOU1 and 2 though? Unless classes aren't voiced and it's just the preset story characters?
Interesting. He already voiced Visil in Untold 1, but I guess that was more of a bit part.Jouji Nakata

Minor/known details: random encounters, FOE, mapping on bottom screen, game can currently be played from beginning to end.
HOLY SHIT! This is some serious breaking news. What could Atlus announce next? Maybe if you press buttons on the 3DS you can confirm/cancel on the menu? Do you think if we put the cart in and turn the 3DS on, maybe, just maybe the game icon appears on the screen?
Sölf;197200357 said:Image if you were able to skill your characters in different ways. I guess the internet would explode.
More tabletop-esque events? Count me in! Those moments are some of my favourite parts of EO.
...Unless they involve squirrels.
The story is set in the new, unknown land of Arcadia. Character design is being handled by Yuji Himukai, who has handled character design for the series so far.
There are four races living in Arcadia:
- Arslan (human-like)
- Lunaria (elf-like)
- Cerian (beast ears)
- Brani (dwarf-like)
10 classes have also been confirmed:
- Fencer (Arslan)
- Dragoon (Arslan)
- Cestus (Arslan)
- Reaper (Arslan)
- Necromancer (Lunaria)
- Warlock (Lunaria)
- Warrior (Cerian)
- Hound (Cerian)
- Herbalist (Brani)
- Shaman (Brani)
Through character creation, you can finely tune coloring, as well give your character an odd eye (one eye thats a different color).
Players can choose from the following voice actors for their character: Shouta Aoi, Satomi Arai, Akira Ishida, Toru Okawa, Ayaka Ohashi, Yoshihisa Kawahara, Misaki Kuno, Mitsuki Saiga, Takuya Satou, Asami Seto, Atsuko Tanaka, Kosuke Toriumi, Joji Nakata, Kaori Nazuka, Natsuki Hanae, Saori Hayami, Megumi Han, Yoko Hikasa, Rina Hidaka, Yui Horie, Ayumu Murase, and Tsubasa Yonaga.
The following are tidbits from an interview with director Shigeo Komori:
- The concept for the latest game is character customization with a high degree of freedom and dungeon exploration that tickles your adventurous spirit, as well as consistent battles and growth.
- With the new races never seen in previous games, you can make a completely new character.
- Voices are also introduced. However, similar to previous games, people who want to play without voices can choose to do so.
- The Hound class is named for the pets it is able to use.
- Dungeon explorations table talk RPG-ness has been enhanced.
- The map on the lower screen, as well as the icons and controls have been improved.
- The sub-classes of Etrian Odyssey III and IV, and the Grimoires of Etrian Odyssey Untold made it so you could make a team with no weak points. This one is being designed so that its harder to make a well-rounded team; all the classes have very specific roles, like in the first Etrian Odyssey.
Development is currently 60 percent complete.
Oh wait, nevermind. EO IV dancer 2.0 confirmed, except now a scantily-clad toddler.
We haven't heard anything about the music, have we? Other than Yuzo Koshiro is composing, obviously.
Talking specifically of the music style. The Untold games had "classic" BGM, along with the modern arrangements, but EOV is a new entry so I guess it'll only be "modern style" music (like EOIV)?
Hopefully they don't take too long to release the soundtrack CD, loved the 3DS OSTs.
THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED.There are race skills, character skills, and you can change the hair, skin, and eye colors with several 40 voices to choose from.
Praying for dual audio and for a timely European release date.

The dual audio is just as pie in the sky, if not more.
