Apparently this is coming to North America in Summer (the northern hemisphere’s summer). Will this be the next game with a controversial localisation?
I have to say, for a turn based game they seem to have spent a disproportionate amount of work on inventing fighting moves that flaunt leggy outfits and teasing upskirt shots.
Given that the game’s title is about how it’s a world ruled by dragons, and your goal being to get rid of dragons – the warriors who are going to jump around like that would get something other than short skirts… or whatever it is the rune-kinght has.

Etrian Odyssey
This is gonna come from a place of love, but still drives me crazy, but Etrian Odyssey has a real issue with being completely erratic on whether it wants to be practical or not.
On one hand you have characters like Guildmaster Marion

or classes like the Protector


And then there’s classes that just kinda… don’t


Granted, we get some manservice too

The part I find most amazing is that based off it’s promotional material, I would never have expected any manservice or whip wielding… well I’m not sure I want to know what she is, in the game. I mean look at the North America cover:

I can only imagine this leads to many awkward conversations with parents walking in when the wrong thing is on the screen.

I believe the the “alternative covers” gimmick (also known as “a cheap sales boost technique that contributed to the 90s comic crash”) has reached it’s apex with “Van Helsing vs Dracula”. (We’re going to gloss over that traditionally, Van Helsing didn’t have any other opponents).
You can oggle the “heroine” or you can oggle Dracula’s brides while he’s relegated to the back. The plot summary of this masterpiece?
“A Final Blessing: The terrifying tale of horror’s biggest icon comes to a close! As Dracula’s minions paint London red, Van Helsing enters her final conflict with the vampire that can’t die. Everything is on the line, and only one will survive!“
I somehow doubt this is in any way resembles the brief that the cover artist was given, if indeed they were given any brief.
