4Gamer recently uploaded a 15-minute gameplay demo of Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth to their YouTube account. The beginning three minutes or so deal with the heavily customizable character creation system, the next few minutes show off the town and some voiced NPC conversations, and the latter half of the video demos a forest dungeon and the battle system. The dungeon music is pleasant!
Famitsu published an article disclosing the initial wave of DLC to be made available alongside Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth when it launches in Japan on August 4th. To begin with, five different character skin options will be available, at 300 yen each. These are: the “School Uniformed Boy”, “Sailor Uniformed Girl”, “Sweater Wearing Girl”, “Etrian Odyssey 1 Paladin New Illustration”, and “Etrian Odyssey 1 Medic New Illustration.”
Besides character options, there are also extra quests to check out. Both priced at 300 yen, Adventurer Training Plan yields an accessory that triples experience points per battle, while the Adventurer Good Luck Plan yields an accessory that boosts the yield rate to 100% for materials that don’t have drop conditions (kill by Petrification, by Ice, in one turn, etc.) from enemies.
You’ve probably seen our article about the FM soundtrack option. Priced at 800 yen, this item and a sixth Etrian Odyssey character skin (or pack?) option will be dated and detailed at a later time.

By the way, the Famitsu article linked for this writeup mentions that the July 28th issue of Weekly Famitsu will contain a special Yuzo Koshiro (composer for many games, and the Etrian Odyssey titles) interview and a “Aeolian Coloring Book” themed by Etrian Odyssey V.
SEGA fans will most likely know about Yuzo Koshiro for his work on the soundtrack for the Streets of Rage games, but he’s also the composer for the Etrian Odyssey series. In regards to Etrian Odyssey V, Atlus has revealed that they will be releasing an FM (frequency modulation) version of the game’s soundtrack as paid DLC. The DLC will replace the standard background music with its corresponding FM version. If you’re wondering what that means, it’s basically what you’d expect to hear if the soundtrack were designed for a classic 8 or 16-bit console. Atlus have uploaded a sample of the FM version of the game’s main battle theme on Youtube, which you can listen to below. Let us know what you think!
Last week, Atlus of Japan took to the official blog for the Etrian Odyssey series to talk about the Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth Rough Sketch Ver. OST CD, featuring six tracks composed by Yuzo Koshiro. Notably, the recent blog post debuted the jacket art for the CD, which will be accompanying first print copies of Etrian Odyssey V. The featured image above displays the jacket art.
