First vid is the Japanese Seikaju no MeiQ trailer (it's longer than the look we got), the second vid is a stream they did. I'm gonna be going through these like people comb through BotW and TotK trailers. En eye-watering £36 for each game or £72 for all three. Already available for digital pre-order, I'm standing by for physical before giving in. I'm so glad to see the series live on. You've no idea. I figured it was set to skip this generation and possibly never be heard from again. II and III never came out over here on DS but I was able to pick up City of the Drowned over in the states a dozen years or something ago however I didn't come across Heroes of Lagaard, so I'm particularly looking forward to playing the original, pre-Untold version of it. I thought I & III were really long, epic games to get through, but by today's standards, the average playtime will probably be on the shorter side of things! Feels good to be back into the EO sig & av too. 1

Remasters are better than remakes, aren't they? I hope to get it when it's half price - in the meantime I'm happy to offer any advice. 1
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 I'm not sure I'm understanding this game, you have a team, and go through a maze in squares? I know this was done in days of old... Is there a story? I can see this gimmick'ing for one game, but thrice and more? I'm truly baffled here

I'm truly baffled here You have a guild, which can have as many members as you want, from several available classes - Landsknecht, Alchemist, Medic etc. You pick five of these and go through a labyrinth which is effectively on a sheet of squared paper. There's story, which gets revealed to you along the way, but a lot of it is about interpretation. As for more than one game, well, it depends how much you like it. Personally, I got a bit tired of it by the 6th one (Nexus), but it's fundamentally a good series.

From the outside it just looks so basic, It's amazing they've tried to make such a concept look exciting when it is as you said, is squared paper action (nightmares of maths classes...). I think I've spoilt myself on less restrictive RPGs, but hey, not every game is for me
