Its nearly every Atlus release, not just EO.

Don't think they mean it that way. More as in...cute like a puppy.
Oh the price was announced already?
I hadn't read up on this game much since there was such a long span between the JPN release and the localization announcement, so it's interesting to read about the new races and classes. Hound class is an absolute must for my playthrough.
Are the "secondary titles" actually another class, or do they just modify stats or add abilities (kind of like the title systems from Tales of)? The latter sounds kind of cool, I'd probably prefer that to standard multiclassing, which always feels like it makes it too easy to break the game.

Lol, alright then.

Second names are basically specializations. You pick one tree of two to go down that focuses on an aspect of the class's abilities, and it'll unlock skills based on that specialization. For example, Dragoons have a tree that focuses on defense, and another that focuses on gun techs.
All characters also have a racial tree that gives them race based skills.
right now everything's like $40 but with preorder price guarantee and shit who cares if it goes up
Ah, that makes sense. Should be fun, I like how much heavier the character customization seems to be in this one. Thanks!
Like with some other Atlus 3DS games, it seems like this is the only version of the game at launch.

Pretty excited for this. Day 1 for sure!
I already purged, in advance. Currently rockin' 'dat Arcanist body image. So yeah, I am now prepared to skim like mad looking for portraits that don't make O.G. Bronies almost look not contemptable and baby soft by comparision. Seriously - wtf, with the Bronies... halfings were cool, once upon a time (2nd Edition/Krynn R.I.P.) I am running Human and Elf only. Speaking of Elves - wtf is the point of Bunny Girls if a game already has Elves? Is it Japanese-culture self-insertion?

Thank god they expanded on choosing how your character looks a bit.

Oh I really like the design and colours on that art book. I'm kind of over this sort of thing though. I'd rather have a full length Etrian Odyssey art book and pick up the full OST on iTunes.
Damn I'm going to miss this series when dual screen gaming is dead. =/

I've been wanting to try making an EO homage on PC for a while. It seems weird that there's no real equivalent available, outside of maybe Starcrawlers (which is very different thematically).
At the least I want to futz around with mouse and capacitive touch based mapping options. I refuse to believe that a stylus is a hard requirement for it to feel good.

Whilst I want to believe it's like ~£5/6 more expensive then the other stores due to having the launch stuff with it, it's probably just Atlus tax and what I want to call Amazon tax.
Also as a heads up you can pre order it for sub £30 from Shop4world/Shopto/365gaming/Zavvi/etc if you're looking to save a little bit.
Most likely Amazon tax- the price will often vary there quite a lot before launch and anyone who pre-ordered will pay the lowest price it was offered at, not that I'm defending it.

New Deep Silver trailer confirms that Europe are getting the artbook.
But no sign of the CD.

Would this be a good entry point for newcomers?

Sure. All EO games are good entry points but the newest title should be the best one (more improvements over past games and more people playing it).

Should be fine, though if you have the means to do so, I suggest trying EOIV if only to get a feel for the series. Etrian Odyssey tends to welcome party experimentation/planning and has some fair amount of options in that respect, so it might be overwhelming at first, but I'd say you'll find yourself at home before long.
