This is the best game out of the trilogy, it has more of a focus on story this time around. There are less maps overall in this game, but the quality of them are far better than the previous games, the puzzles are very fun to map out and the game is well balanced

I love the etrian odyssey series to death but there is no universe in which i'll ever pay forty dollars for this singular game. It's not that the quality isn't there, but the games themselves simply don't have wide enough appeal and the quality of production simply doesn't match the price. Call me when they give these the persona 5 treatment in terms of polish and i'll consider forty bucks. Otherwise buy this on a sale. It is genuinely one of the best dungeon blobbers you can get though and a fantastic JRPG so I would recommend it: just not at the base price.
