Etrian Odyssey (Sekaiju no Meikyuu in Japan) is the first entry in the Etrian Odyssey series, developed by Atlus. The games are (with the exception of the Mistery Dungeon spin-offs) first person dungeon-crawlers, where you create a party up to 5 adventurers to explore the Yggdrasil Labyrinth. Originally released on January 18th 2007 for the Nintendo DS the main appeal of these games for many people including myself is being able to draw your own map instead of having the game do it for you. Unfortunately the first entry in the series had very few icons to do it properly, which can get very tedious at some points of the game.
On February 8th, 2023 a collection with the first 3 Etrian Odyssey games was announced during the Nintendo Direct for Steam and the Nintendo Switch, at that point I had already played and finished all games with the exception of the Mistery Dungeon spin-offs and Etrian Odyssey V. These included a lot of QoL improvements, better tools for mapping, remastered graphics, soundtrack, difficulty selection, etc. Playing Etrian Odyssey 1 was quite an experience...this game is probably my least favourite in the series but I do think all EO games are worth playing, even the DS ones.
I'll narrate the in-game events with this Yggdrasil Tree when needed.
Why play this game then?
Despite all the flaws this game has there are a few moments that are SO good, I could unironically justify playing the game up to that point just to experience them. I also happen to LOVE Etrian Odyssey.
Are you going to play all games?
Most likely yeah, it's the first time I do one of these and the preparation was brutal. Even for a game with very few characters and plot, and speaking of plot...
Any spoiler policy?
EO games tend to have barely any plot so please, avoid spoilers unless an update already showed it.
This game has 2 unlockable clases, will you use them from the start?
If I do the LP about my guild eh...probably. But if a character someone else submited then yes!
Oh an EO LP, where do I submit my characters?!
