I think this song just convinced me to buy a game I've never heard of.

I had never heard of the Etrian Odyssey series before until a random video about the "Dancer" class popped up on my news feed on my IGN phone app. I ended up watching the medic video in the article instead without really reading much and it was playing this song:

Now I'm hooked. I read up on the game and watched a video or two and I'm really intrigued - and the icing on the cake is that this song is the battle music. I totally can't wait to buy it now, haha.

So I guess this topic is: Had you heard of Etrian Odyssey before? Are you into it? And also - isn't this song awesome?

[Flash Strife]

Have I heard of it? I own part 3 so yes. Haven't played it yet since I hear it's a time sink, you can spend like a 100 hours plus playing it. Also the music for the series is done by Yuzo Koshiro of Streets of Rage and Shinobi fame.

Etrian Odyssey is great stuff, but please be aware that it's a roguelike series, and so you will die. A lot. A WHOLE lot. If you don't have either patience or a tendency to get addicted to good games despite difficulty, stay the hell away.

The song is not in the usual Koshiro style - for a long time after the Genesis his output was very shaky (does anyone really remember the music to Vatlva? Legend of Oasis?) but the Etrian music represents some of the best work he's done in quite some time.

This is awesome. So glad he got to perform at MAG. Now I can put a face to all these groovin' tunes.

Where's the RAWK smilie, dangit?
