@EvilAkito: I second that. the amount of times Etrian Odessey punished me for carelessly walking five steps to far is painfully high x__X

Atlus is a localizer, all their coding is done by the original team. Considering on their message board they claimed the game was the same as the Japanese version, the only think I can think of is the Japanese developers either decided they needed to make the game easier for Americans or sent them a different version then the final Japanese version.

Wow, that’s a pretty surprising move coming from the publisher that likes to rape us with Shin Megami Tensei and Etrian Odyssey.

this game has nothing on the GBA titles, which were awesome. the dumbed down difficulty doesn’t help… at least give us the option!

Well, it’s a game for kids. What do you expect? They just don’t know how to play challenging games these days.

I think so. It really is a high quality dungeon hack…the music and graphics are really good and the gameplay is surprisingly fluid (coming from a guy who normally doesn’t like style driven gameplay). I actually enjoy doing the stylus input combos

What do you guys think of the game - is it worth picking up? I made it a couple hours into Soma Bringer before my inability to read Japanese (and the interminable dialog boxes) got overwhelming, but I’m still in the mood for some DS dungeon hacking.

The tutorial girl in the first (only?) shop does explain the command palette, but I know what you mean. There IS a steeper curve with regards to all the options and menus you can fiddle with

I’m actually playing this game for review purposes. I was having trouble until I futzed around and discovered that I needed to upgrade skills and put them on my menu before I could use them. If one of the happy anime characters had explained this more clearly early in the game, I never would’ve needed fifty thousand banana yoghurts.
