Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold The Fafnir Knight Announced
IRVINE, Calif. -- March 10, in the year of our Lord 2015
-- The funny thing about destiny is that even if you don't
believe in it, it believes in you. An innocent childhood
play-date set in motion a series of events that leads players to
become the chosen Fafnir Knight decades later, sworn to protect
their childhood friend, Princess Arianna of Caledonia. These
events prompt the beginning of the new story mode in the
role-playing game Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight, an
exclusive for Nintendo 3DS™ handheld entertainment system,
available in stores and the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS this
summer for $49.99.
The next entry of the Etrian Odyssey Untold series is
essentially two games in one - the first, a Nintendo 3DS update
to Etrian Odyssey 2: Heroes of Lagaard (released on Nintendo DS)
with new dungeon layouts, new graphics, and system improvements
from the recent Etrian Odyssey Untold. The second is the Untold
portion - a brand new story mode with a fixed party, voiced
dialogue,and animated cutscenes that follows the bittersweet
tale of the Fafnir Knight, Princess Arianna, Flavio - another
hero of the Midgard Library - and the two adventurers, Bertrand
and Chloe. The five meet while exploring the Ginnungagap ruins,
and then after misfortune unfolds, they venture back and forth
between the Yggdrasil Labyrinth and Ginnungagap, slowly working
their way to discovering the origins of the Fafnir Knight.
Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold Features:
Creatures of Comfort: Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold is the seventh
entry in the Etrian franchise and has a level of refinement that
could only come from consumer feedback. Improved systems and
mapping make Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold one of the most
approachable Etrian titles to date.
Untold Classics: Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold has two ways to play
the game, continuing the tradition of the Untold franchise.
Classic mode revisits the original Etrian Odyssey 2 with updated
graphics, player conveniences, and a full roster of classes.
Story mode features a fixed party, but includes voiced dialogue,
animated cutscenes and a bittersweet arc that explores the
relationship between Arianna and the Fafnir Knight.
What the Fafnir? The knight is the Fafnir class and is a
never-before-seen addition to the Etrian franchise. He has the
ability to transform into a beastly form, which enhances his
attributes and abilities, and is only available in the Story
mode.
Bring a Blanket: Just as in Etrian Odyssey Untold: The
Millennium Girl, in addition to normal difficulty, players can
choose Picnic mode for a low-difficulty experience or the
masochi... er, veterans amongst them can choose Expert mode for
a punishing play-through.
Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight will be available
this summer for the Nintendo 3DS. This single player RPG is
