The cover for the Weekly Famitsu magazine issue releasing on August 4, 2016—on the same day as the release date for Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth—will feature the upcoming dungeon crawler. As such, a questionnaire has been deployed to ask fans what the party structure/characters on the cover should be.
The cover will be drawn by Etrian Odyssey artist Yuji Himukai, and the content of the illustration will be determined based on the responses in the questionnaire. The deadline for the survey is June 24, 2016 at 11:59 PM JST.
The Fencer class is a mandatory position, so the four other characters in the party composition will be determined on the survey.
