[Spoiler]

so! this months big big releases are fire emblem and etrian odyssey. i dont know anything about fire emblem outside of you can make a cute character to lead your party

meanwhile, in eo4 you can make a whole Grip of cute characters do all your fighting!

big changes from eo3 include:

• No More Farmers! Any class can gather things, and they all have a 1 skill point ability that lets them increase their rare drop rate for gathering or something along those lines.
• Airship! The boat from 3 was nixxed, and replaced by a big-ass blimp. As far as I can tell it functions about the same way but the distance you can travel isn't limited. There are Huge FOEs on the world map though so be careful!!!
• Last but not least, Brand New Classes!!! yay

Classes list shamelessly stolen from other forum

Landsknecht:  Physical attacker.  Likes to strike first and can increase the power of your party's followup attacks
Fortress:     Durable tank.  Protects other party members and reduces damage taken by your party
Medic:        Healer.  A mandatory role in this series, though you can regulate it to a subclass later if'n you please
Sniper:       Ranged attacker.  Lots of multi-target options, also good at Binding, which prevents enemies from using certain skills
Dancer:       Combination group attacker / buffer / healer.  Flexible role
Nightseeker:  Specializes in status ailments and setting up tons of damage.  The girl portraits are freaky
Samurai:      Physical attacker.  Can self-buff to increase damage. They're like animal dudes (locked)
Runemaster:   Magic attacker.  Elemental damage with lots of single and multi-target options
Mystic:       They set up 'Zones', which continually provide multi-target debuffing / healing / binding (locked)
Imperial:     Physical attacker.  Based around an overheat/cooldown gimmick where they do huge damage then spend the next few turns recovering (locked)

Spoiler for Hidden:

The demo's gonna be up on the 7th so go on and give it a try! All your progress carries over to the full game and if you preorder you get a cute art book and ost cd. Gamer Hell Yeah http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/img12/video-games/hqp/EO4Glamshot._V397460303_.jpg

e: and here's the skill tree with detailed explanations of what does what. http://www.crazyuncleivans.com/eo4skillsim/tabbed.html

huh, fire emblem is letting you customize your main character this time? I haven't read up on anything.

Yeah, though the demo just says "not available in the demo" for all the options. But it'll be there in the real version. Which literally comes out tomorrow.

And yeah, I preordered EO4. I don't know if anyone else besides us would really like it but that's what a demo's for!

While I'm in the neighborhood, Layton and the Miracle Mask is hella rad. If any of you haven't tried the series, why not give it a go in glorious 3D?

EO4 looks awesome, though I never finished EO3 .. I was doing a bit of a challenge playthrough with no dedicated healer, just what my Princess could put out, and it required a lot of overleveling to overcome FOEs once I hit the magma cavern layer so I eventually gave up interest

I actually really liked the ship minigame though, so sad to see it is being changed into a more normal mode of transportation than that of a sidequest

I'm probably gonna get EO4 it looks really good. I liked the other games enough, plus hey who doesn't love art books and CDs!
