The Atlus Blog - New Site Written by: Maxine MagicFox So, I know it's been, like, forever and a day ago since I've posted an update. Hopefully things will start to pick up. I've been hard at work on something that I think many many of you will really enjoy. The Atlus (USA) Blog This is my newest site, hosted by ItL and owned by both me and Archaic. On the website you can find information that Atlus USA has released in both e-mails, twitter, as well as a bunch of unreleased stuff, or stuff that is strictly from the JPN side of things. Not only that but you will be able to find reviews and get our own general opinions. TAB is in no way a replacement for ItL. The news that is featured over there will not affect the news featured here and vice-versa. They are two different sites. I hope to see you guys over there! Feel free to drop us a line!

Interactive EO Floor Maps Written by: Maxine MagicFox Announcing the release of a big project that has been some time in the making. And there's still a lot of work to be done, but at least it is now in a position that we can work on these faster and get them out to you ASAP. ItL now hosts it's Interactive Etrian Odyssey Maps. At the moment this is only for the first game, but as soon as we are done with the first game, we will be working on the second. These maps are based off of Zaraf's own map projects and this was really his own idea. He gave me the project several months ago and I'm sorry that I have only now been able to release it to everyone. Please, enjoy them as they will become an integral part of all the site guides. The maps include information on all FOEs as well as the ability to click on stairs and access the next floor (wonderful for those who get lost easy). Hopefully in the future we will also have FOE paths marked out, but at the moment this is not a feature. Hopefully you will all enjoy them! And please, if you spot any errors, e-mail me immediately - DO NOT e-mail Zaraf. Category: Site Updates   |   Monday 02.02.09, 10:56 AM EST   |   Link to this News Article

Etrian Odyssey I manual uploaded Written by: Maxine MagicFox So, today I finally got around to completing my manual-uploading project. The manual for the original Etrian Odyssey game has been added up onto the gallery. Click here to view the manual... Now, I have a special request for anyone out there that might have it. I am interested in having the Japanese manuals for both games added up and onto our gallery as well as the one from the UK version. If anyone is willing to spend the time and effort, please upload them to the Fan Contributions section of the gallery! Remember, if you have any Etrian Odyssey products (such as CD albums, etc.) feel free to scan and upload the album art into the Fan Contributions section. I will look them over and add them into the official sections of the site with a special thank you. Category: Site Updates   |   Friday 09.19.08, 4:48 PM EST   |   Link to this News Article

Gallery Updates: EOII Manual! Written by: Maxine MagicFox I've tried scanning things before in the past. However, the scanners my parents have always bought were always the low-end, low-quality producing rip-off scanners that would never suit my tastes. FINALLY, my parents went out and bought a REALLY REALLY nice, high-end, wireless printer. :3 I'm VERY satisfied with the scans that I get. SO! Guess what I went and did for you guys: Scans of the three page EOII article spread included in the June 2008 edition of Nintendo Power (the one I so diligently typed out). BUT, even kewler: Scans of the Etrian Odyssey II Manual. I ALSO plan on doing the first book. However, it took me about an hour just scanning those pages and then another hour cropping, resizing, adjusting, re-scanning (I'll be honest... my scanning skills SUCK), and meeting my own quality-check approval. I'm tired. I'll try to get the first game's book tomorrow. Category: Site Updates   |   Tuesday 09.16.08, 12:50 PM EST   |   Link to this News Article
