The next entry in the Etrian Odyssey series will be released in Japan next month, on August 4th – ahead of its release, Atlus already revealed some of their DLC plans for Etrian Odyssey V via the latest issue of Famitsu (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). Here’s what you’ll be able to buy starting August 4th (each individual piece of DLC costs 300 yen):

• New Adventurer 1 – makes your character look like a boy wearing a school uniform
• New Adventurer 2 – makes your character look like a girl wearing a sailor-style school uniform
• New Adventurer 3 – makes your character look like a girl wearing a sweater
• New Adventurer 4 – makes your character look like a Paladin from Etrian Odyssey I
• New Adventurer 5 – makes your character look like a Medic from Etrian Odyssey I
• Adventurer Training Plan – gives you access to a quest that makes it easier to level your characters
• Adventurer Good Luck Plan – gives you access to a quest that gives you lots of gold as a reward

Two more pieces of DLC are also currently planned, but are not yet dated: “New Adventurer 6” (currently unknown how this will change your character’s appearance) and FM Synthesis (800 yen), which allows you to switch to FM Synthesis for the game’s background music and back at any time.

Etrian Odyssey V (along with its DLC, obviously) has not yet been announced for a Western release, though given that every previous title in the series has made it out of Japan, that announcement should only be a matter of time.
