Title: Etrian Odyssey IV Mapping Its Way to North America

Playing cartographer has never been so rife with danger!

The fourth entry of Atlus's Etrian Odyssey series is coming to North America. Titled Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan, it is the first installment on the 3DS and is due in 2013.

The Etrian Odyssey series is a first-person dungeon crawler that has players mapping out the areas they explore. Legends of the Titan brings an easy mode to the table, and eschews 2D sprite work for polygonal models. Also gone is the series's traditionally synthesized music; instead, Atlus has fully orchestrated this installment's soundtrack.

Couldn't really get in to this game on the DS. Its first person perspective so I never really felt invested in the characters I created and the difficulty starts off steep.

It seems to be popular enough that they're making a 4th game so I guess I'll give it another go.

Hey, there's that other JRPG series that was also 1st person that was kinda popular.   What was that again...oh yeah, Dragonquest.

I'm very excited for this, as I loved the original on DS but never got around to 2 or 3. The first half of 2013 is shaping up to be amazing for the 3DS.

I think they didn't even bring the second to Europe so I'm not gonna expect a release for 4 here.
