Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl contains full remake of first game

20130418_etrian_odyssey_millenium_girl

Here’s one for the import crowd. Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl, a 3DS spin off due in Japan on June 27, includes a fulle remake of the 2007 DS release, Etrian Odyssey. According to Gematsu‘s translation of a Famitsu report, the remake is described as a Classic Mode and allows you to create your own custom character, but unfortunately it uses the same save slot as the main game so you won’t be able to play them both at once. The RPG boasts three difficulty levels, a Guild House and Grimoire Chances; hit the link to learn more.
