IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- NOVEMBER 21, in the year of our
Lord 2012 -- ATLUS, a brand of Index Digital Media,
Inc., today announced details of the gift with purchase items
that will accompany retail versions of the upcoming RPG Etrian
Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan for Nintendo 3DS. Those that
pre-order or pick up the game at retail launch will be treated
to a limited edition art book as well as music CD (while

The art book showcases a variety of colorful imagery from the

The "Rough Drafts & Outtakes" CD gives fans rare access to the
famed game composer Yuzo Koshiro's process by providing early
arrangements that would be used in creating the final
atmospheric orchestrations of Etrian Odyssey IV's musical score.
Moreover, the CD includes tracks that did not make it in the
final selection of musical themes.
"Fans of the Etrian Odyssey franchise will not want to miss out
on this one-of-a-kind collectible for Etrian Odyssey IV," said
Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, ATLUS. "The
game's bonus items in Japan were extremely popular, and we're
excited to bring this unique art book with updated imagery and
stunning CD soundtrack to those who get their hands on this
title at retail launch next year."
For centuries, the tree Yggdrasil has been a constant presence
in the lives of the people of Tharsis. It looms on the horizon,
invisible from everywhere in the city, but its roots are in a
far-off land where no one has ventured until the Outland Count
of Tharsis sponsors an Explorers Guild to reach Yggdrasil and
discover its secrets. Prepare to board your skyship and set out
into the clouds in search of treasure, glory, and the answer to
Tharsis' oldest mystery.
Etrian Odyssey IV brings enhanced graphics and 3D effects, more
immersive 3D dungeons, and upgradeable skyships that let players
travel and battle among the clouds. Players can utilize 3DS'
bottom touch screen to chart out a path and create maps to aid
in the team's survival of the dangers that await. The game
delivers deep character creation and party customization
options, and an all-new casual play option will provide greater
accessibility for novice players. Additionally, guild card and
character trading functionality will be available through the
3DS StreetPass feature.
