Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Fafnir Knight (JP) is a 2014 remake of the 2008 Nintendo DS game Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard for the Nintendo 3DS, much like Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl for Etrian Odyssey, where in addition to better balancing of the game and better graphics, the game has a new story mode, in addition to classic mode.
Gameplay[]
There are two modes, Classic and Story which was first introduced in Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl. Classic mode is the same as other entries, with custom characters and maps. Story mode has an expansive story with preset characters, cutscenes and voice acting, but the players will have to draw their own dungeon maps just like in Classic Mode. The game also contains three difficulty settings: Picnic, which allows for easy gameplay; Normal, which allows for moderately difficult but manageable gameplay; and Expert, which allows for the toughest gameplay possible.
Characters[]
As with its predecessor Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl, Story Mode has five playable characters available to the player:
- Fafnir Knight: The player's avatar, a young man from the Midgard Library who is dispatched to High Lagaard to assist the daughter of the Duke of Caledonia in venturing through Ginnungagap.
- Flavio: An adventurer and the best friend of the player's avatar. An energetically positive 18 year old young man who sometimes acts as a voice of reason within the group.
- Arianna Caledonia: The daughter of the Duke of Caledonia, a very ladylike but scatterbrained 18-year-old girl. She is escorted by the player's avatar and Flavio throughout Ginnungagap to complete her ritual.
- Bertrand de Gervaise: First introduced in Ginnungagap. A knight of unknown age with a lazy personality, but can be serious and protective when needed. He tries to keep his past hidden from the player and group.
- Chloe: First introduced in Ginnungagap, later explained to be a distant relative of Bertrand. An asocial 13-year-old girl who usually calls people by their job rather than their name and has an unnatural love of meat.
Plot[]
The story remains the same as the original.
