Found this on reddit, battle theme in FM synth

I fnd interesting that they still bother doing both versions of the musics. Sounds great though, I think better than the normal one.

They know there's money to be made from that, so It's DLC.
For V? No, the orchestrated version was first, then was converted. It's being hand-converted by Koshiro since converting from the MIDIs of the originals is not giving a satisfactory output.
Also man there's a bit of a difficulty jump in Chapter 5 of 7D3.
Oh, didn't expect that. Wish they'd do the same for 4's soundtrack at some time.
Unfortunately, they tried, but it was cancelled in the end.
That's a shame. So much for a FM version of Faith is my Pillar.

I made a mistake ignoring Ailment Slash on Chloe. Ranked it up and moved her to the frontlines and she does really good damage, especially as Flavio is getting better at landing ailments with the right Grimoires equipped. I feel pretty dumb having Arianna in the front for so long.
The 3rd stratum boss was really rough though. I had to look up her attack pattern so I could use the right Defender skills at the right time. Currently baiting rhino FOEs into holes on the 4th stratum which is nice, I quite like the FOE variety. I thought the ice sliding stuff was going to be a nightmare in the 3rd stratum but it turned out to be quite fun.

Ailment slash was, like... the most MVP of MVP skills on my Expert mode story run. Setting it up doesn't always work exactly when you want it to, but, man, when it does...wew. Just wait until you can stack lv10 grimoires to make it even stronger. I had Chloe with a grimoire setup to maximize that damage and it can be really strong (stack things like charge, weapon mastery, and the ailment slash grimoire itself, or you can use palm skills to enchant ailment slash and boost it via elemental damage boosts). Remember if all else fails (like Flavio landing ailments), her force skill lets her still deal the full bonus damage with it.
Speaking of Untold 2, now that I finished FE:F (Conquest) I'm gonna get back to the last thing left to tackle in U2... picking up where I left off on Expert mode Ur-Child. It's been a few months...so rusty now.
I'm on classic expert, but it's NG+ from my first run which was story expert, so I have full access to my maxed story mode party plus my good ol' classic crew.
Edit: link to the strats? I wanna see if I have whatever grimoires are needed for the setups.

The true EO portrait experience.

Gunner is the series mascot. Any who say otherwise should be thrown into an FOE pit!

It's 300 yen, or something for each DLC portrait.
Hopefully it will be free for the first week kind over here
Hm, she's named Paladin there, so I guess she's a DLC class like the Highlander in EO2U? Hopefully they change up the class a lot, because an old Protector sounds pretty boring compared to the new Dragoon.
When's the Ninja DLC?!
Don't let Pureauthor read this.
Good thing Shishou is already ahead of the curve!

The DLC sounds like portraits rather than actual classes.
The five classes (and the appearances) that will be gracing the cover of the August 4th issue of Famitsu because of the June fan questionnaire:
People know what's up for granny to have actually made it. I wonder if Fencer would have even made it in at all if she wasn't in there by default. A bit surprised Necromancer Appearance 1 didn't make it, but it'd probably be hard to beat that Herbalist or the Warlock. That Dragoon is almost as "default" as Fencer is when it comes to EOV representatives, so no surprise there.
Looking forward to seeing what Himukai comes up with.

Fencer is the best new class, there was zero doubt she'd be on the cover!

I'm legit getting a little worried about localization of EOV. will it be too late for 3ds to do this massive VA undertaking for a niche game?
It's sure to come over. The only question is how the VO gets treated: English dubbed, Japanese dubbed, or no audio.
Well, 2/3 of those would be awful. There are so many VO options, though, that it's going to be interesting. If it's in English, there'll probably be a good amount of different voices made by the same actors.
Or they could just offer fewer number of voice options, presumably.
Wonder if that'd even be technically possible, but I'd probably be fine with that. Depends on how many we ended up getting.

Or Atlus knows that the NX will play 3DS games so they aren't worried.

I'm guessing that 2/3 is includes no audio and the Japanese dub track? I'm fine with the FE Fates approach, but I don't think Etrian makes enough to justify hiring 1214 actors, voicing 23 options apiece, before even looking into the NPCs. That's already more than Etrian Untold 2's entire voice cast. The games already record at Cup of Tea studios, which is basically what they use for their more niche/budget games. Reducing the number of options is also a possibility, but that's not a good look, as that's a quantifiable loss of features from the Japanese version, especially for something sure to be touted as a big new feature.
Given the choice of Japanese voices with no loss in the number of options, or an English dub with neutered choice, I'd take the former every time.
The problem with Japanese VA only here is that the voices in Untold were more than just flavor, they we're also used during dungeon navigation for minor hints (interactible areas/walls, incoming FOEs, etc). Since I doubt there'll be subtitles for any of that, you kinda need a dub to ensure a similar experience.
Yeah, I'd much rather have the Japanese voices over English with less options.
I can't imagine them giving us all the options with English voices unless it's a small handful of actors giving different takes, which doesn't sound as fun.
I guess I'm hoping they decide to just keep the Japanese voices at this point.

English dub with heavy reuse
I'm talking Matthew Mercer quintuple downing
Which is fine by me. I just hope they do a great job
Not like Matt Mercer is an unknown, especially after Overwatch.
you think folks in EOGAF know him? breh I know he blew up eons ago >_>
