Seems like its EO 1-2 and not untold versions. Hope there will be some balancing for EO1 at least

 

[Puukko]

SteamDB says 40 bucks/yuros per game, 80 for the pack. Additional character art DLC with SMT/Persona characters. And knowing Sega/Atlus, Denuvo is likely.

A real monkey's paw, as is to be expected.

Fatlus gonna Fatlus

dear god 40 euros each + portrait dlcs Oh well I got physical copies of all EO games so going to pass unless some significant balance changes

 

[Ravielsk]

What is it with Japs and having absolutely no sense when it comes to pricing? 40€ for a game from 2007 that already got re-released once and with Denuvo on top is just retarded. Chances are that if this follows the usual trend its also going to be buggy with a 50/50 chance for a patch that might fix it later.

I want them to do the same for Strange Journey and Devil Survivor but without retarded pricing.

 

[Vorark]

Hah, so they followed exactly the same scheme as the "SEGA AGES Phantasy Star" Switch release from years ago: main game screen on the left, map on the right. For reference:

Shame about the retarded pricing + Denuvo combo. I've always wanted these games on PC but not like this.

 

[Suicidal]

They're cool games and all but come on, remasters of 15 year old niche titles should not cost that much. $40 for the entire pack would have been much more reasonable.

 

[Hobo Elf]

lmao at those prices, and they aren't even Untolds. Atlus can't do anything right anymore.

 

[Grauken]

I've always wanted these games on PC but not like this.

I played them on PC for years, not like there's no option for that

 

[Squidhead]

As soon as I saw separate listings for each I knew I was fucked.

 

[quixotic]

If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s Atlus being retarded. ESPECIALLY on the business side of things.
I know that everybody’s brought it up already but WHAT ARE THOSE PRICES?? WHY ARE THOSE PRICES? HOW ARE THOSE PRICES?

I won't complain about this not being the untold versions for 1 and 2 (I honestly prefer the 2d monsters, at the very least), but it's still super weird that they aren't. Did they lose the source code or something?

I also assume there won't be any actual improvements, like including proper skill descriptions? Maybe they'll fix the broken ones at least. Probably not...

I saw some screenshots on the chans, one of then showed the buff/debuff info for the party/enemy, which wasn’t a thing before in the older ones.

And Strange Journey still stays on the 3DS. What utter nonsense. Also, do the games come with an auto map or can you still draw it yourself?

Some info from reddit:

Will have several changes to the user interface/quality of life aspects. The list here may not be exhaustive.

• Widescreen Support
  • Will be pulling some extra information on the right side when needed (e.g. shop purchase, mapping, etc
  • In combat, a small map is displayed at the bottom right.
• HD text and portraits - enemies will be 2D as opposed to 3D models of 3DS series.
• Remastered Soundtracks.
• 3 Difficulty Modes - Picnic, Basic, Expert
• Multiple Save Slots
• Fast Walk is available.
• Local and Internet (Online) Multiplayer Support for EO3 Sea Quest
• Easy access to the monster compendium (in-combat included), quest log and skill tree
  • Visual Skill Tree with skill descriptions/ability to check next levels.
• Apothecary is back (at least in EO2).
• Touchscreen, Controller, and Mouse Control.
• Mapping-related:
  • Full Auto Map exists (although exactly what it entails is not yet fully known)
  • Mapping icons can pull from the right to make use of horizontal space
  • Some options for default cursor location and making use of Z buttons.
• Portraits/Character Creation
  • 24 New Portraits (new 5th portrait for the classes)
  • Also DLC portraits featuring Persona and SMT characters; will be included with launch copies

  • Can assign any portrait to any class
  • Gender Distinction for Prince/Princess (at least for JPN version).

  • Ability to see buffs/debuffs as well as the duration

New portraits (persona + smt ones are dlc)

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

A lot of that is vague, but sounds potentially incline.

 

[Jermu]

If they dont do any balance changes I would skip EO1 for Citra + Untold 1 combo. EO2 is still worthwhile to play. EO3 is my favorite one and don't really need any balance changes.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

I like EO3, but the subclassing system is p degenerate with how it devolves char building into sub gladiator on everyone and invest free skillpoints into charge for insane damage boost. EO4 improved that aspect a real lot.

And the sailing minigame is cancer.

 

[Vorark]

Yeah, meant as native ports.

 

[Baron Dupek]

They added Harambe in the HD version or it was in the vanilla? Not sure since I've tried only 2nd game, only to sell most of my stuff when big financial crisis hit the fan...

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

I assume that's a new portrait for the beast class, which was unlockable in exactly EO2 afair.
