So if I were to get an Etrian Odyssey game...

I'm new to the EO games, and I've heard great things about both IV and Untold. Which game do veterans recomend? I'm not averse to a challenge (on my second playthrough of Dark Souls) and I love games like Dragon Quest. I'm fully aware of the make your own map system and skill trees and stuff, I just want to know if IV or Untold is the game to get for a newcomer. Thanks in advance!

I just started IV and if you like old school roleplaying game you will love it. From what I understand Untold is a remake of the first Etrian Odyssey so keep that in mind when making your decision. When I play a game from a franchise for the first time I always like to go with the newest entry.

I say go with 4 because it's that damn good. After you've played and beaten all of 4, then go get Untold.

I so far like Untold better. I like there being story in my games, and the idea of a Canadian paladin who is a noble lady from the distant kingdom of Ontario tickles me. Untold is the game to get if you are a newcomer with its story mode and all the streamlining from 4. Its even got an automap option if you don't want to do it.

Sweet, thanks guys. I was unclear if Untold had the "easier" settings IV had, I'll probably go with Untold.

There is one correct answer, the first one

I would say skip both and buy Dark Spire.. but that is just me
