It's not weird to me. SJ is a lot more niche gameplay wise and way more hard. It just has less of an audience so the resources are better off on something that will get more sales.
Uhh, did Radiant Historia really sell more than Strange Journey in the west? That doesn't sound right.
The lack of English VA is even weirder considering the main characters are actually American. Oh well, I guess I don't really care that much.

Oh well, at least the japanese VA for SJ sounds quite good and very fitting for the tone of the game, but the situation still sucks.
The Megaten account posted a couple of new videos too, by the way

I hope the battle video is supposed to highlight the voices, because otherwise the game has awful audio mixing, and I want to hear that glorious battle theme.
Looking forward to playing Strange Journey for the first time, and it'll be nice to finally have Japanese voices in an SMT game without resorting to undubs.
I'm worried for the Etrian V dub. Will it be as good as the JP dub? Like the character creator alone has like 40 different voice options.
Is there a real reason to play the Etrian Odyssey games in order? Are the stories connected in any way?
I don't want to have to play in the order Untold > Untold 2 > 3 > 4 > 5
There are a handful of tangential connections, and I think that 3 and 4 in particular are worth playing, but you should be able to jump in to 5 fine. Thanks to Untold 1 and 2 if you go back to play the early games, the QoL problems are largely fixed.Is there a real reason to play the Etrian Odyssey games in order?

No need to play them in order. The story doesn't really carry over from game to game aside from some vague references. Up to 4 (haven't played 5 yet), I'd say each sequel is generally better than the last. I'd recommend 4 for someone starting the series today.

If you want to play them in an order it would probably be in order of release(skipping 1 and 2 since they have remakes) to play in order of ascending system upgrades and conveniences.
You can also choose to skip 3 altogether in the hopes of Untold 3 in the future(though I'm going to be honest. I don't think that's going to happen now)
Not really no.
Untold are more focused on the stories. Untold 2 or 4 are both great entry points before 5 imo. 3 might get a remake at some point (Untold 3), so I'd skip it for now anyway.
edit: whoops beaten.
I'd imagine that with the Switch looking like Nintendo's main platform going forward, that dual screen gaming won't be a thing anymore, which would lessen the chances of an Untold 3.
So I guess it would be fine to play in the order:
3 > 4 > Untold > Untold 2 > 5?

Going this route would allow me to appreciate the evolution of the series.
Thanks guys! Looks like I'll start with 3.
Everybody should play EO3 at least once.

I wonder if we'll ever get a SMT with that style again.

I think I recall hearing about Radiant Historia being one of the best RPGs on the DS, with echoes of Chrono Trigger.
Is that accurate? Is Perfect Chronology a sequel to that game, an upgraded port, or what? I'm not a huge RPG fan, but Chrono Trigger is one of my all-time favorites, so I'm certainly open to checking this one out!
The voice acting is optional so you don't have to use it if you don't want to. I'm not seeing a problem here
Well, voice acting or not, the entire story stuff Atlus has been pushing with Untold (and now, apparently, EO5) is some hot trash. Original EO was great. It didn't lead you by the nose. You explored the dungeon because it was there. The small encounters along the way or in the town were sparse enough to be interesting. The focus was clearly gameplay. Now it seems like you need to disable this, ignore that and bla bla bla just to get something roughly approximating the original game.
