    Yes! I was hoping for some kind of pre-order bonus!! It's a cool one at that, too. The Etrian series has beautiful art and is definitely deserving of a book like that.

  • Hraesvelgr

    Eh, could be better. Etrian has decent scenery art, but I'm not really fond of the character art. I'll play it regardless, but if I had never heard of the game before, this would to little to push me towards preordering it.

  • Ereek

    Hmm, seconded. I really don't like the character art, but the background art is very nice. While I appreciate that Atlus does this, this isn't really a push for me to buy the game, since I've never been a EO fan. I prefer the more traditional dungeon crawler, IE Wizardry.

    This.. this is how you get some cheapskates like me to go crazy and buy games they weren't meaning to buy at release.

  • Kamiwoo

    I've been interested in this series for a while but never played any, but this might tip me over the edge to try it out. Is there any direct connection between the games or am I safe to jump in with the third one to start?

  • Ujn Hunter

    Sex… Atlus make me want to have it with them.

    Atlus is a master, AND ALL THIS FOR 30 BUCKS!! so GREAT!, im paying 35$ for dragon quest 9, and it doesnt even brings some crappy fan art

  • cepp

    Yeah, I preordered this the moment I got the email, God bless you Atlus.

    I think it's a great bonus for those who are already going to get the game. As you say, it's not going to help net people who don't know about it (or aren't interested). I do appreciate the companies trying with this stuff. They _could_ just box it as an LE and slap an extra $10 on but they don't. Even the Deathsmiles bonus surprised me.

    And this news comes after I buy the slightly-underwhelming EO 1 & 2 artbook off Amazon Japan. Oh well!

  • Joanna

    hahaha. so true! I wasn't planning on buying this day 1, but now I am. xD

  • Joanna

    hey, I would even pay the SE/Nintendo tax for DQIX, but I'm glad I don't have to. xD

  • Joanna

    There was no direct connection between 1 and 2 (as far as I can tell since I have yet to start 2) and it look to be the same with 3. The only thing these titles share is the core gameplay and minimalistic story.
