(I like what they are going for, but come on, can nobody think of something more creative than elves, humans, hobbits, and people with bunny ears?) Classes are tied to the races for like a minute before I can start reclassing my characters. In creating my team with those new customization options, I can choose from four, generic character races each with their own race skills and available classes. There are attempts to make what is old new again.
ETRIAN ODYSSEY V SERIES
As a fan since Etrian Odyssey II, I am accustomed to the throwback sensibilities of the series but I can never shake that feeling of déjà vu. It is an extremely familiar experience, like seeing something new but swearing it’s a rerun. Unless there is some mystery Yggdrasil hidden deep in the post-game content, I am back exploring one big tree, taking it floor by floor, stratum by stratum, massive FOE by massive FOE.
ETRIAN ODYSSEY V SKIN
The customization of hair, skin and eye color, as well as clothing and voice selection, is such a small addition but it makes me absolutely care about creating the characters behind the classes.Īfter two games of exploring vast seas and sunny skies, Etrian Odyssey V dials it back to the first two entries in the series. With V, I finally feel like I am creating my own, unique team and not just picking from a few preset portraits. The general concept of the series is I create my own team of explorers to take down the many strata of the legendary Yggdrasils.
