Heaven forbid! I'd want to kill myself I booted up the game and had to hear someone like Burch screeching in my ear, especially if it comes at the cost of heavenly seiyuu like Tamura Yukari, Hayami Saori, or Minase Inori.
Never fear though. I specifically went out of my way to tell Atlus that seiyuu are a indispensable part of the experience. Considering they were well received in general, I have no doubt in my mind that they'll think twice before inflicting dogshit VA upon us all.

Seiyuu are a wonderful addition to what is already there. The games are polished as h*ck already and do not suffer from including seiyuu. They are like the delicious cherry on top of an already exquisite sundae.

Sheer nonsense. Games are an audio-visual medium, with the audio being no lesser. And what could speak more plainly, resonate deeper with the audience, and elevate the experience further than the majesty of the simple human voice. Not all games need a verbal narrative experience, but I posit they definitely need voice acting of a sort.
I speak only for seiyuu, of course. VA are dogshit.

This worries me, not because there will be lots of mapping, but it's the kind of thing publishers say when they actually mean 'We're going to casualise the hell out of [x] but hype it up so much that casuals who only played the most recent entry will believe what we say and mindlessly push our narrative because it's the group concensus.'

I'm hoping based on the fact it's not EO6 and it's not Untold 3 and it's not a Mystery Dungeon, and it's presumably still going to have the main series gameplay that it'll be a Etrian Odyssey Maker-esque game, letting you build and share labyrinths with friends. It would use labyrinths from the series past (and with all but 3 being on the 3DS they could easily reuse assets with no one caring), fulfilling the festival/celebration goal.

I tried playing IV the other day and found it to be a mindnumbing grind. Legend of Grimlock does a way better job of replicating these kind of dungeon crawler games. This was just tedious and shallow.

How long does it take to get to the second area? I've been playing for around 4ish hours, have been tasked with clearing the lush woodlands of a monster with red fur.

Literally after the red furred bear.
Are you remembering to open shortcuts? 4 hours sounds like a lot for the first area unless you were being really thorough with sidequests and grinding a whole lot, or going back through the whole dungeon with no shortcuts every time you exit.
Sidequests and gathering are completely unneccessary to be level appropriate in IV with a half decent team since enemy levels are generally really low. If you're doing anything other than the main dungeon you're going to want to be making extra characters or playing through with a very simple basic team. The game still has a fair amount of interesting encounters and maze gimmicks as long as you stay low enough level.
The first zone in IV is also pretty straightforward compared to any of the later areas, and IV is also somewhat different to the rest of the series, as well as being generally much easier.

You should never have to grind in an Etrian Odyssey game. If you don't run from every battle as well as do quests you'll be golden.
The biggest thing with Etrian Odyssey is teambuilding, you should plan out your team and their skills so you don't waste skill points on something. In general, having access to more skills is a priority over powering them up, but not always.
Also the beginning is always the slowest part of an EO game since your options are pretty limited.

978cd7 No.14631912
>>14631813
I don't mind that too much. A lot of great games are made on shoestring budgets using reused assets, like Majora's Mask. Ideally it'll mean they can add more other stuff, more dungeon floors, and what not since they don't have to worry about constantly making more assets.
Honestly my biggest concern is the class selection, with the hero class seeming pretty bland. Hopefully they'll add more in later, or have some secret/unlocked.
85596f No.14632057
>>14631912
Reused assets aren't inherently bad, but I think in a dungeon crawler they certainly are. A great bit of the enjoyment of these games is delving the dungeons, mapping them out, and uncovering whatever secrets they have. If they're reused from game to game, that defeats the point. Even reusing classes isn't stellar, since you should already know how they function and what they, theoretically, combo with.
The class selection seems okay. 19 in total, nearly double what 5 gave, with one new one. Even if they're reused, it'll be fun enough to explore cross-game class synergy. Hero does seem fucking boring though. If they're shooting for 'jack-of-all trades', all I can imagine is a broken piece of shit that does everything well.
