Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight – Grimoire Stones details and trailer
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Videos | 0 comments
Atlus’ latest update on Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight covers the RPG’s “Grimoire Stones”. Information about the feature is posted below, in addition to a new trailer.
Tell me if you’ve ever been in THIS nightmare scenario: your party is whittling down a mini-boss, and the encounter is going well! Everyone’s health is a little low but it’s manageable. The killing blow strikes down the mini-boss in the nick of time, but upon his death, 5 trash monsters take his place. Normally they’d be a cakewalk, but the healer’s head is bound, the main damage dealer and the ranged damage dealer are out of TP. Everyone but the tank is wiped out by the 5 trash mobs, but he won’t last against all 5 of them.
IF ONLY HE HAD A HEALING SPELL OR A MULTI-TARGET ATTACK!
Enter Grimoire Stones – equippable items that bestow the user with new skills, even enemy ones. So in the previous situation, your Tank could have an all-target attack Grimoire Stone equipped and have wiped out those monsters instead of losing the fight.
The Grimoire Stone system from Etrian Odyssey Untold has been completely overhauled. Regina in the cafe will be able to help players equip, trade, and recycle Grimoire Stones. Trading Grimoire Stones is as simple as picking any of the passing explorers in the cafe and striking up a deal with them. Players will be able to see how good their offer stacks up, and once it hits 100%, the deal is done! You can keep adding to the deal if you need to make up some ground, so it’s a good idea to keep those low-level Grimoires around.
Regina can also help with recycling Grimoire Stones. Select the Grimoires you don’t plan on using, offer them up to Regina for recycling, spend some time in a labyrinth and voila – a new Grimoire! Like trading, you’ll be able to see the level of the Grimoire Stone Regina will be able to produce…the more you add in, the higher level of Grimoire you can get.
Grimoire Stones also bestow new weapon skills on characters; so if you want your Protector to use a Highlander’s spear or if your Troubadour wants to go all Indiana Jones with a whip, Grimoire Stones are the answer!

Another Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem dev message, this time from Eiji Ishida
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem has not one, but two directors. There’s chief director Mitsuru Hirata, who we heard from earlier today. Atlus’ Eiji Ishida of Radiant Historia fame is also a director, and he too shared a message on the official Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem website.
Here’s the translation from Siliconera:
It’s a pleasure to meet you all!
I am Atlus’ Eiji Ishida, the development director and the chief designer for battles. I previously worked as the chief designer for Shin Megami Tensei IV and the development director of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey.
Hirata, who was the supporting director of Strange Journey, and also provided countless “questionable” maps (in the best way possible, Hirata-san!) in the level design for the game, is who I’m teaming up with as the director of Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem.
Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem developer blog post translated
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Earlier today we posted about two new screenshots of Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem / Illusory Revelations #FE, one of which came from a developer blog post by director Mitsuru Hirata. Now, the folks over at Siliconera have translated that blog post. It’s fairly lengthy, so I’ve placed it after the break.
Two new Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem screenshots
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Screenshots, Wii U | 6 Comments
We’ve received two new screenshots for Atlus’ and Nintendo’s upcoming collaboration title Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem (or as it’s known in Japan, Illusory Revelations #FE).
The first one comes from Atlus’ Twitter account and shows a female character using a bow during combat. The second one is a bit more interesting – it’s basically an improved version of a scene we saw in the game’s trailer. Director Mitsuru Hirata mentions that, compared to what we saw in the trailer, ground textures have been improved and more objects have been added. I’ve included a screenshot from the trailer for comparison’s sake – the new image is the one without the UI.
Illusory Revelations #FE will be released in Japan in Q4 2015. A Western release is set for next year.
