Product Specs

Description

Etrian Odyssey 2: The Fafnir Knight offers an updated version of Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard, as well as an entirely new story mode. The update offers new graphics and dungeon layouts while telling the story of the flooded Grand Duchy of High Lagaard, ruled by a duke rumored to be a descendant of the chosen ones who inhabit a mysterious castle in the sky. When a crisis cripples the nation, a call goes out to all explorers willing to travel to the great castle to retrieve the Grail of the Kings, with a lifetime of fame and wealth greeting those who successfully return. The new story mode features voiced dialogue and follows a quintet of adventurers as they travel back and forth between the Yggdrasil Labyrinth and Ginnungagap ruins, slowly unraveling the origin story of a monstrously powerful swordfighter named Fafnir. The classic mode offers a dungeon-heavy RPG experience inspired by traditional pen-and-paper games, with gamers customizing their characters and using the touch screen and stylus to chart their progress through first-person labyrinths, mapping out halls, chambers, treasures, and pitfalls along the way. Food and cooking play big roles in The Fafnir Knight, with players collect and combining more than 70 types of forest cuisine to earn unique abilities and effects, and characters can also gain new skills by collecting and trading grimoires.
