This week, Atlus USA put out a character class trailer for the Ninja class. Ninjas attack quickly, can inflict debilitating status ailments, and make use of a variety of tricky techniques to give themselves an edge over opponents. The substitution technique “Decoy” allows them to counterattack while taking no damage. They’re here to win – don’t mess with them.
As usual, Atlus’s #EMDMysterybox promotion is continuing, so share the video on Facebook and Twitter if you want to participate.
What’s not usual is that Atlus USA recently live-demoed Etrian Mystery Dungeon for an hour. Technically they demoed it once before on a previous occasion, so this week’s writeup is really more just a little less “usual” than the typical weekly class trailers. But you get the picture.
Continue reading to check out the Ninja trailer, the Ninja class description, and the archived footage (placed on YouTube) of Atlus USA’s live demo! The footage lasts for about an hour, so avoid trying to watch this at work. There are better ways to indulge your wild side.
When going about your day, do you ever feel like someone is following you? Like you can’t shake the feeling that someone is calculating your every move? Watching your every step… Meticulously planning how to quietly ease you into the darkness of death… Yet, when you turn around, the only thing you see is the skirting of leaves as a brush of wind chills your entire body…
What you actually felt was the presence of the Ninja. And I’m not talking about the kind that cuts fruit or wears half-shells. No, these deadly shinobi are trained in the art of Ninpo; a practice that can allow the user to create duplicates of their self. In Etrian Mystery Dungeon, Ninja use their mysterious Ninpo arts to bind, trick, and deal damage to their enemies. Luckily, while you are weak like the salted slug and your mind is slow like the sloth on saké, the Ninja is agile, deadly, and ready to fight by your side.
A Fruit Ninja and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shoutout. Haha. And as for the livestream:
