Deep Silver deliver us in Europe, please.

 

[The Greek Freak]

Excited to play this while my Switch rots in the drawer turned on once every 3 weeks for Puyo Puyo Tetris.

 

[mullet2000]

I've been meaning to ask how much this differs from EO4.

If I haven't played 4 but have access to it - is 5 a big upgrade over 4, or should I just play 4?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Deep Silver deliver us in Europe, please.

Please this x 100,
if we dont get DQXI this might be final 3DS purchase....so give us that Launch Edition.

Haha what was the point of this comment? Also try out Splatoon 2 if you want to play something - it's great.

Back on topic - I haven't played EO before, but may try out this one, looks good.

 

[Brazil]

Main girl is so damn cute.

 

[asagami_]

I fall in love.

 

[ohlawd]

GOTY 2017 EZZZ

[meppi]

Deep Silver deliver us in Europe, please.

They will probably pack in some random German 80's porn tape with every Collector's Edition in Europe...

The official thread for the Japanese version of EO V lays out some of the new stuff. IV's a lot different and worth playing too, but V is going to have many improvements.

 

[killroy87]

These are great and all, but it's really time for publishers to realize it's 2017 and throw a download code for the soundtrack in with that CD.

The music is always the most enticing part, but I have literally zero way of listening to a CD.

 

[Usobuko]

I will buy EO V and I will not have time to play it.

 

[SliceSabre]

Soon our long wait will be over EOGAF!!!

 

[Serrato]

Unless I'm missing something... did they say a Release date?

 

[HeeHo]

Secretly hoping for Untold 3 too. I have the original DS versions of EO2 and 3 sealed still and that has kind of held me back from playing since I own Untold 1 and 2.

But yeah, like the other games, I will be getting this.

 

[ohlawd]

Unless I'm missing something... did they say a Release date?

no D:

still Fall 2017

 

[Rmagnus]

With the map being some a big part of these games I doubt we will see any more of these games once the 3ds is phased out.

 

[tuffy]

no D:

still Fall 2017

And for what it's worth, Amazon's placeholder date is for late November.

 

[E_Darkness]

Soon my princess...

 

[Serrato]

no D:

still Fall 2017

Arrghhh too many games with all the Switch Games I have to buy :X

Thanks!

 

[syncyes]

potentially the last mainline EO game ever I will savor it

 

[RMI]

YES! day 1 in my veins.

 

[butman]

EOGAF, best entry to start the franchise?

 

[squall211]

I really enjoy EO games, but man do I feel burned out by the time I finish one lol.

 

[kuroneko0509]

soon

 

[Aostia]

please update the title IF they confirm this also for EU

 

[SliceSabre]

EOGAF, best entry to start the franchise?

EO IV.

Very newbie friendly starting point for the series thanks to the Casual difficulty mode addition.

 

[Makonero]

EOGAF, best entry to start the franchise?

EOIV is my fave. Go with that.

 

[Memory]

This will be my last 3ds game. I'm hoping they can make some improvements and changes for the Switch series debut.

 

[MegaMelon]

C'mon deep silver get us this launch edition in the EU please :_;

 

[Raven117]

There is no overworld map this go around right?

I liked that alot in EOIV.

 

[spiritfox]

The male voices are pretty good. At least we know there's more than 1 voice option lol.

 

[sphinx]

yes Atlus/deep silver

please announce this for EU,

I can't wait to F5 the sites of online gaming stores day an night to catch that 10 minute window where preorders are available.

it sooooo much fun!

-_-

 

[Makonero]

There is no overworld map this go around right?

I liked that alot in EOIV.

Yeah, this is super disappointing. Even III had that weird overworld to explore.

 

[entremet]

I kinda wish they could do something for digital folks. I would like a download code for the soundtrack.

 

[PK Gaming]

Seeing EO go from that niche series people used to dump on to this somewhat well respected (and slightly less niche) series makes incredibly happy.

Main girl is so damn cute.

Preach!

 

[Nachtfalke]

We europeans will never get the same launch editions. Didn't get them in the past with NISA, won't get them now with Deep Silver.

But Deep Silver is trying atleast. Valkyria Revolution, Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception, or 7th Dragon III: Code VFD had most of the stuff inside their standard cases. It's something.

 

[Anteo]

I've been meaning to ask how much this differs from EO4.

If I haven't played 4 but have access to it - is 5 a big upgrade over 4, or should I just play 4?

Play 4 if you can, its a good game.

 

[Thoraxes]

Wish they gave a date already though.

But hell yeah, I'm ready to drop everything NX go all in on this one.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Voices are so wierd in EO.

 

[KarmaCow]

And for what it's worth, Amazon's placeholder date is for late November.

I'm hoping it's sooner since Atlus is going to be streaming the series every Friday starting this week and will show off EOV mid September. It would be off to do that almost 2 months before release.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

Voices are so wierd in EO.

Yeah. It's a waste of time and resources imo.

 

[cj_iwakura]

The music is always the most enticing part, but I have literally zero way of listening to a CD.

Six tracks too, how generous.

 

[Refyref]

Is a six-tracks CD really worth boasting about? Whatever, I'm in anyways.

 

[OceanBlue]

Day 1 I haven't even finished a single one :V

 

[NichM]

Six tracks too, how generous.

Every EO game in Japan has had this "rough sketch" EP of stuff that's not on the full OST. It's weird to start complaining about it now, seven games in.

 

[scy]

I had completely forgotten this got confirmed for localization so this just made my morning again

 

[Jacobson]

Goodies for no additional costs, i love atlus. I always bought first print editions of previous games in the series and I won't stop now
