EOII updates - Quests and Key solutions Written by: Maxine MagicFox So, I've been rather busy with this or that and keep putting off website work. For that, you have my apologies. But, for the next few weeks, you guys have my undivided attention as I plan on working my butt off on getting content posted up. Today we have: All Quest Solutions and The Tree Key Location. The Quest Solutions is the same guide that is written up and posted by Scy over at GameFaqs. He has given permission to host the guide there. However, I would like to publicly thank all of the ItL forumers who participated in our Quest Solutions topic in the effort of trying to do what Scy beat us at. Thanks guys! You were great! And if anyone notices any errors or has questions about the All Quest Solutions guide, please feel free to continue posting in that topic. We would be more than happy to hear from you! Enjoy! Now, how about some media? > Read More Category: Site Updates   |   Wednesday 07.30.08, 11:54 AM EST   |   Link to this News Article

Zaraf's EOI and EOII Maps Written by: Maxine MagicFox If you've ever been stuck on one of the Etrian Odyssey games, chances are you've headed over to GameFaqs where you would have found a wonderful collection of maps created by Zaraf. We have been given special permission by Zaraf to host his maps. In addition to this, we will have a special upcoming feature that we've been hard at work with Zaraf to collaberate. But, you'll just have to wait to hear more about that, but trust me, it's going to be good. And yet again, thank you Zaraf for the permission to host these wonderful maps.

Final EOII comics and wallpapers added Written by: Maxine MagicFox Sorry about the delay in this, but I've been rather busy enjoying the Etrian Odyssey II game. As such I also have not written up my review, yet, despite my promise. It will be up this week, though... probably. So, the Official English EOII website finally launched the last of the media it was holding back. We'll start first with the eigth and the ninth Developer Comic. Click here to check them out. And finally the last of the wallpapers, displaying the Ronins, Survivalists, and Beasts! As always, check them out in our Media Gallery. *Wipes away a tear* ... No more comics... How sad. *Sigh* My life will be empty without checking the official site every Monday. Oh well... it gives me more time to spend with Izuna and Shino. And one last plug that I promise this time has more to do with Etrian Odyssey: Our Etrian Odyssey Forum RPG is finally starting! Don't miss out on all of the fun! Sign up to play at Role Play: Radha Hall and enjoy the game in the lower boards, Role Play: The Odyssey! Category: Game News   |   Sunday 06.22.08, 11:33 PM EST   |   Link to this News Article

Atlus addresses password bug Written by: Maxine MagicFox Finally! After months of waiting, Etrian Odyssey has officially launched. If it's not already in stores near you, it will soon be arriving. Please, check with your local store and see if/when they will be getting in copies. Atlus games aren't out for long, so don't miss your chance. More importantly, though, Atlus has addressed a major password bug. While some games are able to easily read the passwords from the first game (given only when the player has completed the fifth stratum of Etrian Odyssey), there are a few games that have been experiencing problems. If you are one of these unlucky players, please read this thread on the Atlus Forums: Atlus Addresses Password Bug. Also, be sure to hop over to our forums for other help in the game - or to simply just rant about your experiences (all of it spoiler free or marked). I have also started compiling solutions to Quests which can currently only be found at the forums. So hop on over there! Scheduled for this weekend: my review of Etrian Odyssey II!

Early release for GameStop afterall? Written by: Maxine MagicFox Update: It seems that the below article is only true for CERTAIN Gamestops. PLEASE, call and verify with your store before you make any rash decisions, and again, this information is not completely verified. You probably remember our retracted statement about early release for Gamestop. Well, it seems like the retraction is incorrect. Much to the surprise of everyone, Gamestop really has released the game early. Unfortunately for some people, like myself, Gamestop did not even give me the call to inform me that the game is in. While I still have not received official confirmation on this, and will update this entry if necessary, this early release ONLY applies to Gamestop. EBGames is NOT included. However, I strongly encourage everyone to give their stores a call and to just double check and verify when the game will be in. I know I'm psyched that I will be getting my game tomorrow as opposed to waiting until Tuesday! Category: Game News   |   Saturday 06.14.08, 10:34 PM EST   |   Link to this News Article

Comic, Wallpapers, and Interviews Written by: Maxine MagicFox So, seeing as how yeseterday was Monday, of course the Official English EO2 Site updated with content. First we have a new comic, which makes this the seventh comic in the set. Only two more left to these... how depressing! - View the comic in our gallery. Also, the Protector wallpaper series have been added. So many wallpapers, so little time, huh? - As always you can view them in our gallery. And, don't forget that we have our Ask Atlus Session with Nich Maragos going on. He's already answered a lot of good questions. Feel free to sign up and ask yours. Surely there's something on your mind that you wanna ask the localization team before you purchase the game next week (which you should have already pre-ordered). Last but not least, we have a few interviews that we want to point out that are focusing on Etrian Odyssey. Sorry we didn't get these mentioned sooner. First we have 1Up's interview with Etrian Odyssey story writer Shigeo Komoroi. And lastly, an Atlus Production Diary entry on the official site. Not an interview but Nich Maragos, Project Lead shares some of his insight in the game with the naming of things. (Yes, this is the same person who's answering questions on our fourms as a guest.) With that said and done, if you are interesting in some more media, click the read more link as I've got a wonderful youtube video a fan of the site sent to me. I have another as well but, one at a time, right? > Read More Category: Game News   |   Wednesday 06.11.08, 10:00 AM EST   |   Link to this News Article
