NichM said:Well, AFAIK, Etrian was Niinou's first RPG too; he'd mainly been in charge of Trauma Center before that. And though no one here has played it, Trauma Center: New Blood proves it's more than possible for Niinou's legacy to live on after him.
Nich, think we've got a good chance of EO2 releasing outside Japan?NichM said:Well, AFAIK, Etrian was Niinou's first RPG too; he'd mainly been in charge of Trauma Center before that.

Takuhi said:Is there a scan of the reviews, or any details on Operation Darkness? I need to know if it's time to cancel my preorder...
I mean, I know it's Famitsu and all, but those scores are HORRIBLE. How could it have gone so wrong?
I shall continue to preach the way of Etrian Odyssey to all my brethren then. I'm glad to hear it's doing at least alright.NichM said:There's been no such announcement. We continue to celebrate the meager yet deeply sincere success of the global curiosity that is Etrian Odyssey.
sphinx said:what the hell???!!!! this winter? really, this winter? the one beginning in Decemeber 22, 2007?
woah, that must have been well into production by the time famitsu learned about its existence.

That video made absolutely no sense to me when I first saw it. Now I can't help but lol since I've actually played the game. :lolMejilan said:

So basically it's an excellent game?duckroll said:- Graphics suck donkey nuts
- Highly strategic, battle tempo is good
- The game is pretty tough, without using the game's cover and ambush systems properly it can be extremely hard to win
- Camera and minimap are kinda dodgy
- The worldview is a good mixture of fantasy and historical settings
- The game systems involved in developing your characters are rather hard to understand
- The game isn't very cinematic and the presentation is a little dull

duckroll said:Sorry! But seriously, I think many, many dungeon crawler fans would really appreciate this game in english. I'm getting it in Japanese of course, but I'm sure it sold well enough worldwide right?

For Operation Darkness, Famitsu sez:
- Highly strategic, battle tempo is good
- The game is pretty tough, without using the game's cover and ambush systems properly it can be extremely hard to win
- The game systems involved in developing your characters are rather hard to understand
pilonv1 said:There's been an editorial mistake here - they actually had 8 people review LAIR. The scores should be 4.5/4.5/3.5/3.5/4/4/4.5/4.5.

- For map creation, there are now 3 different colors you can use.
- There are also more icons and arrows to use.
- When buying equipment now, the character status is displayed so you can see how effective they are before buying. (YAY!)

- two settings? awesome. should add lots more variety to the dungeoning.
- You can create a total of 30 charcters this time.
- nice, but I doubt I'll make that many.
- They have added a quicksave function for saving in the middle of dungeons. (YAY)
- Excellent. This'll be a big help.
- For map creation, there are now 3 different colors you can use.
- awesome. Anything to enhance the mapping, which was one of the coolest things about EO, is aces.
- There are also more icons and arrows to use.
- see above.
- When buying equipment now, the character status is displayed so you can see how effective they are before buying. (YAY!)
- yay interface improvements! this was one of the few glaring flaws in the first game's interface.
