Etrian Odyssey V Worth?
| Abso-fricking-lutely worth it. But it's like really hard. Way harder than I and II on DS. Probably even harder than III. On Advanced, at least. Been stuck for a month or so on 4th stratum boss, but can't bring myself to lower the difficulty to proceed.
But it's really great. The extended customization (both cosmetic and gameplay-wise), better dungeon events and all the little QOL changes make it an amazing experience.
| It's also got plenty of charm. Even more so than the previous titles, I'd say. Voice acting certainly helps there, even if it is kinda corny and repetitive at times. And the soundtrack is still great, too. Sometimes I just sit in Jazz Town (name unofficial) for a while and listen to the music.
| How does it compare to IV? I just best the 3rd stratum in that

I did not play a lot of IV, to be honest.
It's back to a single dungeon, no overworld anymore, so there's that. But that's fine, and floor warp helps out a lot in terms of getting around. The labyrinth itself is way better though. New-ish event system is especially neat.
Initial class skills may seem barebones and lackluster, but after a certain early-midgame event it becomes way better than IV's multiclassing, IMHO. Race skills are pretty fun. Also you can upgrade weapons
| I wanted to make a cute potato team, but seeing the stats I think it's kinda impossible, so I havent touched it yet :(
| Played the first 3 games
I havent played the new ones but ive seen most trailers and stuff for the new ones and they look nice
| Yeah it's nice especially if you have experiences in dungeons and dragons
