Following the Nintendo Direct trailer shown on March 3, the full first trailer for Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth has been released, first shown on the live stream for the game.
The PV01 trailer shows off the character classes, character customization, and the first gameplay footage of Etrian Odyssey V.
The official website has been updated accordingly, along with screenshots for the game and sections for “Story,” “Character,” and “Mapping.”
The official story overview from product descriptions translated by Gematsu:
“Arcadia,” a land dominated by swords and magic. A huge tree from ancient times called “Yggdrasil” exists here and is to be the reason that peace visits the world.
There is a legend about that World Tree. If you can manage to reach its untrodden summit, it is said that your dreams will come true.
“The power to dominate the world.” “The most powerful.” “The world’s mysteries.” “Expensive treasures.”
Although there are four races that live in this land, each has a different legend, but no person has been able to confirm them.
From the city “Aolith” at the bottom of Yggdrasil, the official orders are issued. In pursuit of the legend, the courageous adventurers who challenge Yggdrasil will gather in Aolith. And in accordance with official orders, you’ll be the one to gather those adventurers.
Whether it’s for wealth and honor, or to satisfy your sense of adventure, you’ll challenge the labyrinths and aim for the top of the World Tree.
Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth will be released for the Nintendo 3DS on August 4, 2016 in Japan.
