hmm, 6.5 is a higher than I would give it, but it isn't the blindly in love score that a lot of people on here seem to give it.  Let me ask you this, is the story in Etrian Odyssey 4 good?  The combat looks good to me, but how is the story?  

The story is succinct. Since you build your own party, there's no character development; your guys and girls are adventurers and that's it. You encounter a few tribes on your journey, each having their own version of the legend of the titan. The story is good in the sense that all the nonsense of other JRPGs is removed and only the essential things are covered. It's like one minute of text for every hour of play. The rest of the time you are exploring labyrinths (and drawing your own maps), fighting monsters, collecting loot and gaining new equipment and more skill points.

Hmmm, I would prefer that to having endure all the crap in bravely default, but it probably isnt for me.  RPG's are all about story for me, so thanks for the info!

I feel your pain... I wanted to love this game as one of my favorites, but the forced extended story just made it a pain to play... I'm just going through the last chapter to get that true ending but it isn't that fun anymore.
