Atlus has announced that Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is getting a demo in North America. The demo, which features the starting floor of Story Mode, is slated for release on the 3DS eShop on July 14. After playing the demo, users can transfer save data to the full game.

Atlus also prepared a video for Bertrand today. We’ve posted that below, along with an overview of the character.

This next one goes out to all the shield-carrying, plate-wearing, unsung heroes in all of RPG-dom. Sure, they may mitigate tons of lethal monster damage and keep the rest of your party safe with guard abilities, but at the end of the day, holding a shield just never gets the same respect as those flashy magic spells or the glint of cold steel as it hacks monsters in twain.

WELL, TODAY IS YOUR DAY! We’re giving a big ol’ RPG salute to the key of any party – the tank. And in Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold’s Story Mode, your tank is Bertrand, the loyal (albeit reluctant) Protector. Your party comes across Bertrand and the war magus Chloe in the early areas of the Ginnungagap Ruins and they’ll join up with Flavio, Arianna, and you!

The Protector’s skills are incredibly useful – early on they get abilities that boost a line’s defense, and skills to protect against elemental damage. They also can provoke enemies into attacking them, and even retaliate with shield attacks. And while Bertrand and Protectors are quite good at soaking up damage, they even have some abilities to heal themselves and allies as well.

Protectors do have support and a few offensive skills, but their skillset leans overwhelmingly towards defense, so they’re probably best left to the tank role.

It will basically be the same one as the one shared at Monster Hunter Festa, but it will allow those who couldn’t attend to give The Great Ace Attorney a try.

The Great Ace Attorney’s demo weighs in at 48.9 MB and offers 30 uses. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when it will be hitting the eShop. We should hear something more concrete soon.
