Dissapointing

[Hyo]

Etrian Odyssey is one of my favorite franchises of all time, so, I got really excited after watching this announcement, but, then I noticed these are all HD remasters of the original DS games, not Millennium Girl and not Fafnir Knight, and they're $40 USD each? With the collection topping $80 USD? They didn't even bother with regional pricing. What the ♥♥♥♥ is Atlus thinking?

[Dotty (Deity)]

Honestly a little let down as well.

[¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ GIBERTONI ₿ Ξ]

Much expensive... Regional pricing not working

Very expensive, no Untold content (3D enemies, Story mode, remade soundtrack). They could have left both soundtracks so we can choose.

Uh, soundtrack is the same, just direct quality instead of being run through a DS.

I find that 40 the game and 80 the 3 games is not so bad after all you have to keep in mind that the studio is doing its remasters on pc to find out if the franchise is still working and therefore if they can invest in an etrian odyssey with a lot more ambition for it you need money so instead of swinging a patreon or they'll tell you give us some money they're giving us 3 "classic" remasters to see if the community is ready to follow them in step up me for my part I bought the pack at 80 and I clearly do not regret it

How much are they paying you to copy-paste the same statement across multiple threads? Or do you just shill for free?
Spending money on an inferior product doesn't say you want a better product, it says you're okay with the slop that is the inferior product and encourages more bad products. If this was a good product and not an overpriced cash grab you may have a point, but it's not. You're paying premium for some HD textures and a single additional character portrait per class, that's barely anything over what you could get just by emulating the older games or just playing the games that've been out for years already.
You can't just blindly consume slop and expect to be given a premuim steak later down the line.

The original games had 2 male and 2 female portrait for each class. I have an idea: lets add 1 extra portrait to each class instead of 2 new ones. Some will be male and some will be female. Oh Oh, and we can add some extra portraits for preorder as DLCs.

By the way do we know if those extra portraits are class locked?

I didn't pay I just don't want to worry about answering the same thing on comments that mean the same thing

It is not going to be the definitive edition of the first 3 Etrian Odyssey and I will say why:

* Sure, they have improved sprites and graphics, the music quality is better than the DS version and they have added quality of life improvements, in addition to map and control changes. That is the minimum, if they do not manage to do that it would be the disaster of the century.
* Include 1 new sprite for each class. Now some classes have 3 male and 2 female sprites and other 3 female and 2 male sprites, instead of 3 and 3. It would have been nice to have color change in parts of the sprite, like in the last Etrian Odyssey.
* Does not include the story modes of Untold and Untold 2. We could have story mode and free mode as in those games.
* Does not include the new soundtrack of Untold and Untold 2. We could have both in the options menu, select the one we wanted or even combine.
* Does not include 3D models of enemies from Untold and Untold 2.
* Probably they have decided not to include all this because there is no Untold 3 or because of lack of budget, even so it is still a poor excuse.
* All this at 40 bucks per game, 80 for the 3.
* They did a somewhat lousy job, but at least Persona 3 Portable, with its upscaling and maybe 4K is worth 20 bucks.
* Persona 4 Golden came out pretty good for 20 bucks.

I have all these reasons to think that it is a bit of a scam at the current price. At first I was happy when I heard the news and then I was disappointed when I read more about it. We could have the definitive editions of the first 3 Etrian Odysseys (bearing in mind that an Untold 3 was never made) and instead we have some editions, which while they look good, are quite expensive and certainly far from the best. definitive.

[Elolawyn]

Another example: Tactics Ogre Reborn is a remake of the PSP version which is a remake of the SNES version. It's worth 50 bucks. What includes?

* Dubbing.
* Redone soundtrack.
* Improvement of graphics and interface to current standards.
* Rebalancing and game system changes.

Sure, it is 10 bucks more expensive than one of the Etrian Odysseys, but it has more changes.

So basically, you want to play the Untold games.

And if that is the case then here is a easy solution, you go and boot up your 3DS, you insert the game cartridge (EO Untold 1 or 2) and you play the game.

[Elolawyn]

You are right, guess i will not buy this version then.

I mean, who wouldn't? Imagine if they had ported to PC and modern platforms Persona 5, Persona 3 and Persona 4 and at $40 USD each (P5 at $70). No Royal, No FES or Portable and no Golden. How do you think fans of the franchise would feel?

Pretty much the same as how Catherine fans felt when Atlus release the original game on PC, when the Full Body edition was about to release barely 2-3 months later.

The JP crowd doesn't want them.
