Just thought I'd cross-post this from the Contest subforum:

Teaming up with Destructoid, we're proud to present what can only be referred to as the:

ONE Grand Prize Winner will receive:
• A SIGNED copy of Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard
• A SIGNED copy of the official 3-CD soundtrack (Import)
• A 6.5" Female Protector figurine (Import)
• A copy of the rare Japan-only preorder bonus soundtrack CD
• A copy of the orchestrated Super Arrange soundtrack CD (Import)

THREE First Place Winners will receive:
• A copy of Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard
• A copy of the official 3-CD soundtrack (Import)

FIVE Second Place Winners will receive:
• A copy of the official 3-CD soundtrack (Import)

Entering the contest is easy: just make a community blog titled "Tales of Etrian Odyssey" on Destructoid.com detailing your most memorable experience associated with the series. Maybe it was a narrow escape from a fight with two FOEs, or something about your favorite created character. Maybe it's about your party getting slaughtered (and your first death in the dungeons) when you happened to pick the game up after a few weeks of inactivity only to find out you missed a critical warning about NOT trying to take on the Wyvern in the second stratum. Just an example. *eyes dart nervously*

Why is it for US/Canada Folks only. T_T huhuhu

Pigzig · 05-24-2008, 07:38 PM

US Canada only

Kakizaki · 05-24-2008, 10:34 PM

Might have something to do with distribution and licensing rights -- as in EO is only licensed to Atlus U.S.A. for the North American region.

michaeru · 05-25-2008, 01:00 AM

T_T hm, thats cruel. Hm, hope we have Atlus here in Asia, lol.

Kakizaki · 05-25-2008, 08:23 AM

^That really isn't the point.

Maxine MagicFox · 05-25-2008, 04:45 PM

:\ I wonder if I should really attempt and bother with this one. The prizes look nice but I always hate hoping and praying that I win and it never happens.

If we had Atlus here in Asia, they can license EO (and other games) for Atlus Asia (I think), then there would have been contests also for Asian People.

I just wanted Atlus to know that because of this contest, I went out and purchased the first game. I bought it used, because I wasn't sure that I would like it...but, I LOVE it. I stopped playing FFIII to get deeper into this game. I posted my submission and will pre-order the second game this week.

Just to let you know that this contest got you a new fan. Thanks.

Don't you love paladin girl? She wants to be yours but you have to write.

Maxine MagicFox · 06-08-2008, 06:39 AM

*sigh* Nah, I think I'll let others have her. See... I know I'm a fan of the series, but if this merchandise could help to convince or harden someone else's resolve about being a fan, then I think it should go to them. Besides, I honestly think these are things that I would want to get myself the more interesting way, by hording the money and managing to snag them through a purchase :3 I just honestly feel that the EO franchise deserves my money.

Foryth · 06-08-2008, 12:31 PM

Ah, I pray for these prizes every night!

Haruna · 06-10-2008, 12:07 AM

3 more days til the F.O.E. respa..er...the contest is over. Gah...I kind of want to rewrite my entry. I wonder if we can enter twice! Probably not...*_*

Any idea when we're going to know the results?

Superkenon · 06-10-2008, 07:22 AM

I'm pretty sure they said they were accepting entries until Friday, the 13th. (Whoa.)

That's tomorrow! :0

May the best entry win!

Shikoku · 06-13-2008, 06:09 PM

I hope I at least win a third place. I'd love to have the OST. I'd prefer first of course.

Camanche · 12-23-2008, 05:15 AM

Dammit! I missed the contest! No chance of swag for cam.

Elyas · 08-13-2009, 05:47 AM

Greetings from Spain,
One question about Etrian Odyssey II: We will enjoy this great game here in Europe and Spanish someday?
Please, in Spain, we are many those that we are hoping….

Thanks!
A Hug

Sebastian

Hmm, only NA/Canade right? well, too bad. but the contest's not really for me. Don't like writing on a blog all that much. Even though i got an account there.

Well, here's rooting for everyone who's trying. Maybe I'll read some of the blog-entries.

As a side-note, the only EO that's released here in Europe is the first one. Just so the guys that don't know, know.

EDIT: @Gen.
Oh, didn't see the date. sorry about that.

Gen Eric Gui · 08-13-2009, 09:27 AM

Uh, the contest ended over a year ago. Also: Atlus USA has no control over EU releases.

lisamarietuck · 12-08-2009, 08:08 AM

the contest must be over, but not the interest for this
