Citizens of Earth will now launch in November, publisher Atlus has announced. It was previously slated for October.

When it does release, Citizens of Earth will cost $14.99. It should be worth the price as the developers are including “30+ hours of classic JRPG-inspired entertainment”.

Famitsu recently published an interview with Etrian Odyssey Untold II: The Knight of Fafnir producer and director Shigeo Komori.

First, here’s what Komori said about changes from the previous game:

“Our thought was to make an Etrian Odyssey game that focuses on the characters and story that many people can enjoy, and that development concept principle has not changed. Also, the subtitle of the game, ‘The Knight of Fafnir’ is about the protagonist.”

“Last time it was the subtitle of ‘The Millennium Girl,’ which revolved around the heroine’s story. However, this time it will be about the player’s role as the protagonist, and how his friends overcome obstacles in the fantasy RPG you’ll get to enjoy.”

Komori also shared the following details:

– “Fafnir” is the name of the protagonist’s power that allows him to transform
– Komori states that it will completely transform his appearance while giving him a big boost in stats
– It also brings about a variety of different skills he can use
– Using this transformation ability can easily change the tides in battle
– It’ll also have its limits
– The heroine Arianna is of the “Princess” class
– The game’s character designer Yuji Himukai put quite the effort into her design
– Himukai included roughly 20 different expressions for all the other characters
– Arianna will have over 50 different expressions in the game
– There will also be animated scenes and voice acting like Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
– There’s about twice the volume of voice-acting
– New still-frame event styles
– Supports up to 8 save slots

The official Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Knight of the Fafnir website has details about three supporting characters in the game. You’ll find information about each below.

Flavio

– Protagonist’s childhood friend
– Currently a member of the Mizgarz expedition group
– Always-cheerful, talkative, and the life of the party of the guild
– Straightforward, so he’s often the guy who keeps others in check.

Chloe

– War Magus
– Traveled alongside Bertrand
– Strange deadpan girl who doesn’t talk much
– Only budges when she finds something interesting
– The few times she actually speaks, she can be a little outspoken, but never means any harm

Bertrand

– The protagonist meets Bertrand at the Ginnunga Ruins
– This is where a certain ceremony takes place every hundred years
– Bertrand is a feeble and irresponsible guy
– This kind of goes against the ideal image of his class as a paladin

The full website for the Etrian Odyssey 2 remake is now live and while still pretty bare bones at the moment, it does have a couple of interesting little tidbits like the first promo video among other things.

Additionally, a couple of soundtrack excerpts have appeared which you can check out below

Atlus released Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl – a remake of the first Etrian Odyssey – in 2013. Now a remake of the series’ second entry, titled Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Knight of the Fafnir, is coming to Japan later this year.

What led Atlus to revisit Etrian Odyssey’s second entry? Atlus’ Shigeo Komori explained to Famitsu:

The previous installment, The Millennium Girl, was a new attempt in the Etrian Odyssey series. It made me nervous as to whether it would receive everyone’s acceptance, but thankfully we got impressions like “It was fun!” from many who played it, so that made me very happy. Also, because we have heard thankful voices like “While I’m waiting for the next numbered title, I’d also like to have the new Etrian Odyssey Untold series continue!”, that has given us the push to make the second.
