WARNING / DISCLAIMER
This game is fanservice heavy, while I have not added that content within the OT once again this title is very fanservice heavy. With that being said this OT / thread is for discussing the game and NOT ones social views. If you have no intention of staying on the topic of the title / related genre then I respectfully ask you leave and go make your own threads if you want to talk about your dislikes of fanservice and such.
Shitposts will be reported to mods. You have been warned.
Game has been officially announced for a Western release for those who were waiting for a localization announcement!
---------------------------
"Atlus is bringing Dungeon Travelers 2: The Royal Library & the Monster Seal to PS Vita via retail and digital in North America this summer for $39.99/CA$49.99, the publisher announced.
The 2014 port of the 2013 PSP dungeon RPG, which was never released overseas, puts players in the role of Fried, an adventurer from the Royal Library, who forms a party of female warriors, mages, maids, and so on to combat the monsters that have started an uprising against humanity.
Each girl has one of five base classes, from which they can branch into more than 30 sub-classes. As you explore dungeons, you’ll be able to trigger sub-events that allow for further character development between Fried and the girls.
The North American version will have Japanese audio with English subtitles, and support for PlayStation TV."

Long ago, the land was inhabited by gods, men, and evil beings from another realm known as demons.
Under the banner of Lady Vitoria, the humans waged war against the forces of the demons, known as monsters.
The year 395 of the Divine Era --
The founding father of alchemy, Zigdorad, developed the "sealing art", through which a monster could be sealed away inside the pages of a sealing tome.
The ones who could control this sealing magic were known as Libras, and achieved tremendous results in the elimination of monsters.
Through their efforts, the monsters' numbers dropped rapidly, and even the demons themselves retreated to the outer realms. The world began moving under the order of man.
And then, the commemorable first year of the Royal Era.
Vitoria led the people to unify an entire continent, and became the first Queen of Romulea.
-- From "The Founding of Romulea", Chapter 1, Section 10
And now, it is the year 499 of the Royal Era.
A new story is about to unfold within the halls of the Romulean Royal Library...
- Original story with fresh cast of interesting personality types.
- 16 playable characters in the standard game. Able to use 5 at once in a full party.
- Each character has 5 different classes they are able to change into. Broken down as such 2 at the first class change and 3 in the final class change. *Some other characters start later in the class tree therefore will appear to have less classes they can change to, unless you fully reset them back to the base class.
- Large number of skills to drive you insane with when distributing your precious skill points.
- Able to equip sealed monsters which have various merits / demerits.
- Fully voiced story bits, along with random chatter in the dungeon and battle (mainly non-sensical but still amusing.) Some pretty high profile VAs are in this game.
- Challenging dungeons and bosses. While this game may look like its just mindless fanservice, truthfully it's one of the better made Wizardry-type of titles out there that has been finely crafted. Includes hidden dungeons / special bosses.
- Fantastic soundtrack.
- Fighter
- Magic User
- Spieler
- Sage
- Scout
- Berserker
- Priestess
- Dollmaster
- Treasure Hunter
- Samurai
- Kunoichi
Check out the screenshot section as there is an image which shows a character with their class tree fully unlocked. To give you an idea of what it looks like.
*Unfortunately have to use the PSP trailer since Aquaplus went and used Niconico for the PSV trailer...
50 minutes of gameplay from the demo version by someone else. Warning though 2 scenes inside might be considered NSFW, so dont suggest watching at the office.

A: Yes that is correct, which is unfortunate for those who have little to no tolerance for fanservice, as with that part of the game aside it is actually a very well crafted title, with a fantastic cast. But yes once again it is a very, very fanservice heavy title. Mainly story event scenes and whenever a new boss is defeated. The same general thing is said below also.Q: I heard that this game is very fanservice heavy?
#1:
A: Its a first person dungeon crawler, based off of the Wizardry series gameplay wise. Though one thing people will need to be careful of is this title is fanservice heavy. So if that is not your thing, would suggest giving it a pass. If you are a hardcore DRPG player that can put up with heavy fanservice, do highly suggest this title as it will give you a challenge most def.Q: What type of game is this?
#2:
A: While the game can be difficult at times it is by no means unfair. Though the various skills you will need to allocate points into might be a little overwhelming to a new player. (Even more so if you can't exactly read Japanese unfortunately.)Q: Im new to dungeon crawlers should I buy this game?
#3:
A: Nope! Not at all! Dungeon Travelers 2 is its own thing therefore one is not required to have played the previous title. As the story and characters are not connected in any way. Though there is DLC of characters from the first game.Q: Do I need to have played the other Dungeon Traveler title to enjoy this game?
#4:
A: Well it does help considering how much of the story is voiced, plus if you can't read and I mean read not just recognize characters you will not fully understand what all the skills are, which is important when you level up and need to distribute the earned skill point(s). But it is possible to play with no knowledge of Japanese.Q: Do I really need to know Japanese to enjoy this game?
#5:
A:Yes its possible, though the way the game does it is by resetting your character to a pre-set levels. Such as 15, 30, 45 is an example. Forgot what the exact numbers are.Q: I screwed up my skill point allocation can I respec?
#6:
A: By using the level reset (re-speccing) it is possible to pick a different class to try out.Q: Can I try out a different class or am I stuck with what I pick?
#7:
A: From what I understand they did a lot of graphical updates to the game itself and does look fantastic and crisp on the Vita. Gameplay wise it does not seem like they added any new bosses or dungeons. Though there is more than enough content with the original game with the hidden dungeons and extra bosses.Q: Is this just a direct port of the PSP version? Did they add anything new?
