Looks like Atlus is planning is a special livestream in order to celebrate the launch of the Etrian Odyssey 2 3DS remake. It'll take place on Monday 24 at 7PM JST (time for EU/NA below), and from the looks of it, Atlus is teasing a special announcement. No idea if it's a game, a collaboration, an anime or whatever.

The show will be divided in two parts :

- Part 1 : series of videos that will serve as coutdown (probably all the trailers played back to back) (from 7PM to 8PM, JST)
- Part 2 : live gameplay of the game, with some notable guests. (from 8PM to 10.30PM, JST). That's when the announcement will be made, whatever it is.

List of guests:

- Koichi Nakamura (Chairman and CEO of... Spike Chunsoft?!)
- Yuzo Koshiro
- Itou Kanako (singer of the main theme)

Show will be broadcast on NicoNico, so an account is needed.

Time:

Europe: 11AM
UK: 10AM
North America (East): 5AM
North America (West): 2AM
Japan: 7PM

DLC?

 

[L~A]

Hmm... no idea. We know there's already some sort of DLC planned, but we don't have any details. There's that class from EOU1, for starters.

Pretty sure it's related to Spike-Chunsoft, as I don't see why their CEO would be at a livestream for another company's game. Probably some cross-over DLC?

 

[vareon]

Spike Chunsoft? Attack on Titan DLC for Etrian Odyssey 2 confirmed.

Spoiler

Kind of actually make sense lol

Why AoT?

Oops, messed up the time... It's 11AM GMT+1.

 

[SliceSabre]

I am secretly hoping an anime series is announced.

They developed the AoT 3DS game, iirc.

Also is nobody talking about this? Or is this the old teaser?

[Zelenogorsk]

I just want a western release date already.

Actually, Atlus tweeted about that the other day... which is weird, I remember the D and X bubbles from before EOU2 was properly announced.

But it seems to be somewhat new, and with the livestream today, it's pretty clear we're about to learn what it's all about

And yeah, I know about AoT, but EO x AoT would be one of the weirdest cross-over ever. Two series don't even have anything in common, except a slight European medieval theme. Then again, I know you weren't serious about that, so no idea why I'm typing all this, ha ha ha.

I'm mostly joking, but it's not really farfetched if you think about it. AoT's been in a lot of crossovers (with MonHun and Marvel, for example) and EO's not a stranger to fighting giants. And in the anime the Titans are essentially FOE.

Mostly wishful thinking though lol.

 

[L~A]

Stream is now live!

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv199209527

Can anyone set up a mirror stream?

 

[ArtHands]

Here's hoping another 3DS game D:

 

[L~A]

Hmm? Looks like they're having a retrospective of the series via its music.

 

[SliceSabre]

This classic EO music is so great.

 

[Escalario]

Is this music seriously gonna last another 45~ minutes? Talk about setting the expectations low...

 

[L~A]

What expectations? Check out the OP, 1st hour was always meant to be that.

You then have 2h30 for the main program.

 

[Jucksalbe]

You probably meant "only gonna last...".

 

[L~A]

Hmmm... never heard that version of the EOU OST. Then again, only listened to the full soundtrack, not the bonus CD that came with the first print.

 

[vareon]

This song is good >.< does untold have the original song?

 

[L~A]

This song is good >.< does untold have the original song?

I don't remember any special song for Untold.

Anyway, love the guy who greeted us... can't remember his name, but he's a VA. He's in Clannad, ha ha.

 

[sfried]

Oh hey, it's the announcer dude...So, are the doing something like actually doing role-playing?
Edit: Did Nico just poll me as to what path they should take?

 

[L~A]

Yes, that's some sort of 'liveplay' of the first dungeon. And yeah, they let viewers chose what to do at some points.

 

[sfried]

I could swear that announcer sounds so familiar. Isn't he the narrator from Space Dandy?
I don't recognize the dungeon layout though.

 

[Pennywise83]

Is there an announcement of a new game in your opinion? Can't watch the stream right now.

 

[sfried]

So far only goodies for latest Untold installment announced.. That stylized shirt looks pretty nifty.

 

[sfried]

A wild Yuzo Koshiro appears!

 

[L~A]

There will be an announcement, but no way to know what it is. Definitely a game of some sort (can't be an anime, as the show would be IP-locked then), but that's just my guess.

Ooooh, Yuzo Koshiro!

 

[sfried]

Yuzo Koshiro joined the party!

...and about to be slaughtered by an F.O.E.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Laughing so hard.

 

[Zelenogorsk]

EOV for Xbox One with Kinect!

 

[sfried]

We interrupt this program for the full OP song of Knights of Fafnir.

 

[L~A]

Itou Kanako live performance :3

 

[Zelenogorsk]

This song is catchy.

 

[Dracandros]

Laughing so hard.

That was pretty neat if you ask me, but it *IS* funny.

It's still a bit hard to get too into this without that certainty that the series will keep coming overseas though.

 

[Nachos]

Those awkward camera zooms...I can't stop laughing.

 

[Zelenogorsk]

It's still a bit hard to get too into this without that certainty that the series will keep coming overseas though.

If Atlus is releasing stuff like Conception II and Tears to Tiara II in the west then surely Etrian Odyssey will keep coming over.

 

[L~A]

Spike-Chunsoft CEO is there... as well as Monokuma. Ha.


Calling it: Monokuma as special FOE. DLC.

 

[sfried]

Edit: Spike Chunsoft CEO joined their party.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

The weirdest RPG party of all time.

Nakamura Koichi, Yuzo Koshiro, Kanakko Itou, Yui Yamoka.

I don't even know. Thank you, Atlus. Thank you.

 

[spiritfox]

Danganronpa x EO?

Sold.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Spike-Chunsoft CEO is there... as well as Monokuma. Ha.

O:

 

[tonyh24613]

Fight FOE by comments. lol

 

[sfried]

Did they make this map especially for the presentation?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Calling it: Monokuma as special FOE. DLC.

That feels likely, but why would the two companies join simply for DLC like that? Danganronpa isn't even on (3)DS platforms.

Show's weird... which is to be expected.

 

[vareon]

This is a riot.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I don't know who I am anymore.

 

[Yo93]

Wasn't Monokuma in Inception?

 

[sfried]

I don't know who I am anymore.

You shoul've left comments on to see the effect!

 

[tonyh24613]

OMG

 

[vareon]

ANNOUNCEMENT!
