It's very likely he/she is correct. The class roster has no additional slots for gunner or highlander - it's full, unlike the other Etrians which had open slots. So if Classic Mode gets em, it's likely simply as characters that join the guild, such as the EO4 lot. But I can recruit my hexer and roni...

Annoying as heck.

Almost made me not download the game.

ALMOST.

According to the SQ wiki, Bushidos and Cursemakers can be created from the beginning.

I'm in heaven ^.^

The highlander tree is interesting, really. Forgive me naming the skills, I tried to stick close to what the kanji/Katakana say without being silly. Spear Mastery raises the damage with spears and is the main mastery. If you put points in here and unlock something, it starts at level 1. -1 spear mas...

Party stuff Meh, after looking more at it, I really want a Highlander in my party :/ A Highlander as my princess (their HPcost ability synergy and harvest are pretty useful), a Ronin and a Paladin front line, supported by a Hexer and a Medic/Dancer(depending on how supportuseful those ca...

Abilities cannot do critical hits unless you're a sniper and put points into these skills.

I actually nearly died once to an ambush (venomfly + 2 wabbits), on expert that is. It's certainly doable though. I wonder how good Defender and Immunize are this time around. I am also rather fond of the Highlander's Harvest skill :o It sure has cut a LOT of healing I'd usually be forced to...

I think that the demo overall isn't as good as the one of the fourth game. the fourth just has a way better setup, with glimpses of the world map and the like. Further, Ren and Tlachtga really kill Floor 1. Those passive skills really are nasty due to their mechanics. And it's a shame you can...

So, anyone else like the demo so far? :o I really like that Atlus did it again :) Tho mandatory storymode I didn't like, it's restart time alas later - but at least I got Ren/Tlachtgas's voice. ^^ Also, I like that Bushidos and Cursemakers have Skill trees. My party WILL work now - e...

Every new character trailer they make confirms that I will be forever stuck in classic mode.

If the female story mode characters were at least Ymir-level (Shingeki no Kyojin), I might be swayed, but they really aren't

Ohwell, less than a month left till I can play this

it's a service to the fans. No, it's service to a small subset of the fans, lonely otaku. A lot of people aren't lonely, pathetic otaku. I, for example, am a Etrian fan, and none of this supposed "fanservice" services me. Your "age" examples are also a tad out there. It's not ex...

Play imported version in Classic mode, you're not going to miss anything in Story mode if you can't read jap anyways. Then play the localized version in Story mode ;D Knowing myself, I'll probably end up importing the localized version for my US 3ds long after playing through the jap verrsion for m...

I wonder if this will appear in the japanese 3ds shop.

Wow, Atlus, way to prove why I like you best. Now the reason not to buy this evaporated. Yay

That and a new Zelda made my day.

Some of this butthurt over the gender of the (stupid looking, imo) protag is kinda hilarious. It's bad enough we're stuck with a party that is set in stone, but it's the protag you need to complain about? Your raging buttfury over some people actually wanting a selectable female protagonist in a se...
