Today, Atlus updated the official website of Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth (Sekaiju no Meikyuu V: Nagaki Shinwa no Hate in Japanese). This time around, the update is slightly more substantial as the previous one, as we also get a video for character creation!

Let’s start right away with this video, which showcases just how much the character creation tool has been “powered up” compared to the previous entries:

first, you start by picking up your class. There’s 10 of them: Fencer, Dragoon, Cestus, Reaper, Necromancer, Warlock, Herbalist, Shaman, Masurao, Hound. They are from 4 different Races, which all have their own skills: Arslan, Lunar, Cerian, Branii;

next, you chose the template for your character (each class seems to have four);

next, you customise the colour of the hair and the eyes;

after that, you customise the colour of the skin;

finally, you customise the voice (you can chose among 40 voice types (click here for a list of voice actors!), and you can mute your characters if you prefer them to stay silent);

Here’s the video showcasing character creation in Etrian Odyssey V:

Finally, here’s some artworks for various colour variants of the standard template of the Masurao and Herbalists classes:

Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth (Sekaiju no Meikyuu V: Nagaki Shinwa no Hate) (3DS) comes out on August 4th in Japan.
