I just found out about this series a few weeks ago after snooping around on Nintendo's 3DS EShop. I came across an ad for Etrian Odyssey IV, downloaded the demo, played it, and ordered a copy of the game within a week. At first, I thought it was a relatively easy game to master since it had a battle system akin to some of the early Final Fantasy games for the SNES, despite actually being a first-person dungeon crawler. However, after progressing some way into EO4, it ended up turning into one of the hardest RPGs I'd ever played (there are actually two difficulty settings for the game: Casual, which is super easy, and Normal, which is unbelievably hard. I tried Casual in the demo, but switched to Normal when I got the regular game because Casual was too easy). I did some research on the series in whole and apparently it's been out since 2007, and the games are intentionally hard to keep the players on edge. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever heard of or played this series and, if so, are the rest of titles worth getting or is it one of those series where if you've played one that you'll pretty much get the jist of them all? EO4 seems like a really good game, even though I'm kind of progressing at a snail's pace, and I'm giving serious thought to getting other EO titles as well to see what they're like; however, some input would be nice before I actually spring for them.
