Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight has received a new update. Within the past couple of days, version 1.1 has been made available.

The new patch is just 23 blocks, or 2.8MB – pretty small indeed. According to Atlus, it fixes a bug with the suspend save.

SEGA acquired Atlus back in 2013. That process is still ongoing, but is now starting to wrap up. Going forward, SEGA will be publishing all Atlus USA games as a means to streamline its business operations.

The good news is that this news will have little impact on consumers. SEGA isn’t ditching the Atlus brand, and Atlus will still act independently.

SEGA provided Game Informer with the following comment regarding how the Atlus acquisition has benefited the company:

“Since Atlus U.S.A.—renowned for the award-winning Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Etrian Odyssey franchises—integrated with SEGA of America, the ATLUS expertise has allowed SEGA to localize and publish popular Japanese titles in the west, including the Yakuza series, Project DIVA series, and more.”

In other news, Ivo Gerscovich has been named as the new head of the Sonic brand and its related businesses in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. He’ll serve as the Sonic chief brand officer and senior vice president of SEGA of America.

During yesterday’s Etrian Odyssey V stream, Atlus suggested that the title could be the last numbered series on 3DS. This reminded the staff about how Etrian Odyssey III was the last main entry on DS. Atlus is now concentrating and focusing its time on the game so they have no regrets.

Aside from Etrian Odyssey IV and IV on 3DS, there have been a couple of remakes of sorts for the platform: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl and Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight. The spin-off Etrian Mystery Dungeon is also on Nintendo’s portable.

Yesterday, via the latest Nintendo Direct, it was confirmed that Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE would be launching in the west in June. Some new footage from the western release was also shown.

With the latest gameplay scenes, Twitter user “MGNoxa” happened to notice that Tsubasa Oribe’s idol outfit has been changed. In the image above, the original Japanese version is on the left while the overseas version is on the right. It remains to be seen if any other edits have been made for the overseas version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
