If you've seen Young Frankenstein, you know which scene I'm referring to in the headline above. If not, may I suggest watching the following clip before continuing on?
So, which sweet mystery of life have I discovered? Why, Atlus' dungeon-crawling DS RPG, Etrian Odyssey. (The original, not the 2008 sequel.)
I bought this Kazuya Niinou-developed title (used, of course) ages ago but, as is all too often the case for me these days, I played it for a few minutes and then promptly put it away--until I returned from vacation early last week.
Well, I've been playing it ever since. Sure, it's not for everyone, but I can't get enough of item-and-loot-gathering grindfest.
Sadly, it's likely going to fall by the wayside again after my copy of Dragon Quest IX arrives in a few days. I won't leave it for long, though--it's too captivating and compelling for that.

I was on my way to buy DQ9 earlier today when I thought, "Wait. I don't think it's out yet."
Tuesday. Dang it.
I expect a full report. :-P
It's not out yet? I thought it was out today? Or is that just when the Nintendo Store in NYC is releasing it? Sorry about that.
I ordered mine through Amazon and won't get it until late in the week, so it doesn't really matter to me.
Oh, and of COURSE I'll 'report' on it here :)
Apparently it WAS out on Sunday. I went to buy it yesterday and I got the LAST copy in our Gamestop. I asked him when it came out, and he said, "Sunday."
Dang. I could have had it on Sunday when I WANTEd it. Oh well. I have it now, and it's amazing.
Well, at least you have it now. I'm so jealous! Still waiting for my copy to show up...
