EDF 6?

[Eternal Return]

Any news on a sixth entry?

[Honorable_D]

Already out in Japan since August 25, or was it 27?

Anyway, is it a direct sequel to EDF 5 following the same storyline. Ranger was massively buffed and Wing Diver benefits from new "backpack" weapon slot. Fencer has seen some buffs and nerfs but remains largely the same. Air Raider has been gimped pretty badly with double cooldown length on his gunships and double credit costs on most everything else—the new drone weapons do no in anyway make up for these massive, blanket nerfs.

The mission count is 140+ missions and has some pretty crazy story twists.

We don't know when it will be releasing world wide in other languages but we are all hoping they will release it world wide on PS4/5 AND Steam and not do a delayed PC release...

sounds amazing besides the air raider nerfs, anyway to play it?

You have to import the Japanese version for Playstation 4 or 5 and then use a phone translation app to make sense of it.

might be able to get the hongkong version from play asia they sometimes have English translation

I've been playing vicariously through some streamers who have been doing this, I got the main gist of the plot but sadly most mobile translation apps aren't quick or accurate enough to make proper sense of it lol... I'm gonna just have to bite the bullet and wait =/

There's actually some DEEP LORE about the Primers/Ravagers and the whole conflict lol, the story just goes From Software levels of balls-off-the-wall in EDF 6

Thats crazy because the presentation of 5 seems so silly but then some dialogue hints at deep story that I cant help but be interested in.

LOL you should see some of the theories floating around about the plot, they range from totally goofy B-movie schlock to some "deep existential philosophy" featuring all your favorite authors haha

There's kind of a "Neon Genesis Evangelion" atmosphere to the games that most people never touch upon in their reviews lol

Some kind of ancient alienm, human existential dread stuff hidden underneath a game where you kill giant "monsters" while asking yourself "Why do we fight?" and the at the end, killing god himself is exactly why I love japanese games.

LOL yeah, EDF 6 just drives this point home with it's cosmic "time travel" plot to remind you that the Primers are so far beyond humanity they can exist in a whole other dimension
