Atlus Family Friendly E3 2017 Titles
IRVINE, Calif. - June 7, in the year of our Lord 2017
- Get ready to flex your cartography skills, and travel through
time to prevent the end of days because ATLUS is publishing two
JRPGs in the Americas. That's right, Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond
the Myth, and Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology will be
arriving to the Americas exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS™
family of systems. Etrian Odyssey V and Radiant Historia will be
fully voiced in English.
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth - The fifth main installment
of the long-running Etrian Odyssey series is finally arriving!
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth chronicles the quest of a new
adventurer (hey, that's you!) as he or she attempts to reach the
top of the towering religious Yggdrasil Tree. For it is said
that whoever braves the dangers of the dreaded Yggdrasil
Labyrinth and reaches the summit will have their greatest wish
fulfilled...
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth features:
A Choose-your-own-odyssey Feel - Starting with the creation of
your party to exploring the uncharted labyrinth of the Yggdrasil
Tree, Beyond the Myth is all about choosing how your own
adventure unfolds. Test your survival skills by wisely
navigating the winding floors of Yggdrasil, using shrewd tactics
when battling gruesome beasts, making the right decisions during
various "scenarios," and more. To meet these challenges, the
home base city of Iorys is ready for all your buying/selling,
recruiting, and information-gathering needs!
Gameplay Fit for a True Pathfinder - It wouldn't be an Etrian
Odyssey game without the life-or-death need to map your
progress. For those new to the series, the bottom screen of the
3DS displays a top-down, tile-based map that must be filled out
while dungeon crawling. Players can use the map to mark the
locations of treasures, doors, enemies, environmental
obstructions, and more. Expect the unexpected at every turn-and
then make a note on the map so it's not so unexpected next time!
Epic Turn-based Battles - There's a reason why no one has ever
reached the top of Yggdrasil. Dangerous creatures and utterly
terrifying FOEs-high-level mini-bosses, for you newcomers-roam
the labyrinth on every floor, so prepare to test your mettle
with challenging turn-based battles. Proper planning is a must
and balancing strong party composition is absolutely crucial for
success. You'll need the right team to unleash Union Attacks and
level the playing field!
Expanded Character Creation and Customization - With four unique
races, 10 distinct classes, more customization options than any
previous game in the franchise, and a streamlined skill
tree/class advancement, you can shape a party to whatever your
heart desires.
A Magical Art Style and Score - Longtime series illustrator Yuji
Himukai and renowned composer Yuzo Koshiro return to add their
signature magic to the art and music in the game.
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology - It's been six years since
Radiant Historia was released on Nintendo DS in 2011, but it's
time to return to Vainqueur and unlock the time traveling power
of the White Chronicle once again in Radiant Historia: Perfect
Chronology. This beloved classic is an expanded Nintendo 3DS
port of the original game that will contain a great deal of
added gameplay/story content, updated presentation, and new ways
to experience the adventure!
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology features:
An Enhanced Retelling of the Original - You'll once again take
the reins of Alistel operative Stocke as he unlocks the power of
the White Chronicle relic and gains the ability to travel
between two alternate timelines. With his new-found powers,
Stocke will need to right the wrongs of the past in order to
prevent the total annihilation of the world. This time though,
things are a bit different. Redesigned character art, new
character voice-overs, a brand-new opening animation by A-1
Pictures, new theme song, event illustrations, five new tracks
from original composer Yoko Shimomura, and additional difficulty
settings will enhance the experience in this fresh take of a
beloved story.
Exhilarating New Story Content- Stocke will now encounter a
mysterious new character named Nemesia who will teach him more
about his world's history and unlock a third timeline to explore
the ripple effect of some of his actions with episodic "what-if"
scenarios. If you're a Radiant Historia purist who simply wants
to play through the original game's story, we have you covered!
Perfect Chronology offers two different modes: Append and
Perfect. Append mode allows you to beat the original game before
having the option to start a NewGame+ with the added content,
while Perfect mode lets you play through the game with the
inclusion of the third timeline from the beginning.
A Classic That Can't Be Missed - Even though there's an
abundance of expanded content to delve into, the heart and soul
of Radiant Historia remains the same. If you missed out on the
original game in 2011, the upcoming port is the perfect chance
to play a modern classic. With an exciting positioning-based
battle system, memorable characters, and thrilling time-travel
mechanics, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is an essential
for JRPG fans.
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth will release fall 2017, while
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology will launch in early 2018.
These games will be released for the Nintendo 3DS™ system and
will be priced at $39.99. Titles have not yet been rated by the
ESRB.
