The Legend of Legacy features a unique mapping system known as “Cartegraph”. Interestingly, it was something planned by SaGa designer Kyoji Koizumi for several years.

Director Masataka Matsuura spoke about The Legend of Legacy’s mapping system in an interview with Inside Games, noting:

“This system is from a project called ‘Cartegrapher’ (tentative title) that Koizumi-san has been working on for several years, and we decided to introduce its structure [in this game]. Koizumi-san suggested it, then fleshed it out with adjustments like rendering and such, which became the Cartegraph feature.”

“It was originally something very simple, but after adding the stereoscopic 3D to it, it became what we have today. When you look at it in 3D, it’s almost like those picture books that pop out, and it’s really fun!”

“By making maps as you go, I believe that you get a ‘sense of adventure’ while exploring the unknown wild lands. I think there will also be a sense of value to the maps themselves,” says Matsuura, adding that walking around and checking out the map will be fun in its own way.

Atlus released two more clips from Etrian Mystery Dungeon showing the Wanderer class and turn-based battles. Take a look at both below:

Along with the clips above, we also have the following information about skills:

Special Blast Skill

Gust – Creates a sudden burst of wind that blows enemies around in a given room. It won’t outright defeat them, however.

Representative Skills

Stone – Throws a rock at an enemy within an arc-shaped radius and damages them.
Hunt – An attack that affects any enemies in front of the caster; if the enemy is either a bird or animal type, extra damage is inflicted. A weapon is required in order to cast it.
Tunnel – Destroys walls up to three spaces away in front of the caster.
